Welcome back,
Incoming Source is back with its next big update, which, in our opinion, is just as good as the last one... if not better.
We are welcoming new members to the team. We are starting off with programmers. Not one, but three new programmers are now part of the Incoming Source development team. Everyone welcome aboard: Tanoku], Archy, and amckern. These new programmers will be helping us speed things up in order to get the public release out as fast as we can. Also welcome aboard Headake, who will be one of our new mappers that is starting work heavily on inm_outpost. More of his map can be seen on the forums for registered users only in our new Exclusive Media Forum. (a development image can be found on the forum for registered users). We would also like to welcome aboard CrazyGoat who will be skinning our dinosaurs as well as the rest of our vehicles. We also finally have gotten a model rigger, Kiipo, who was very much needed and is very welcomed. Dinosaurs and vehicles will be seen ingame shortly. We'd also love to welcome aboard our beloved tree artist who has been working his ass off on getting trees done for our maps, which can be seen in this weekly update as well. Cryomerk is a god at organics
We are also welcoming TranceParadox who will be our Lead Concept Artist. You can see some of his work in our media update. He will also give a hand in the mapping department a s well. Welcome aboard guys, we are glad to have you.
Also, if you happened to miss it. We made the official announcement of scrapping all Halo-related material:

Before we begin iSource Development would like to officially announce it's IRC channel. Located on GameSurge.net in #incoming-source . We would like to see some new faces and get to know our fans better as well as have the fans meet the developers behind Incoming Source as well as other dedicated fans already inside the channel. If you have any questions or would just like to speak to the team including me or even get quite a few sneak peaks to media not yet 'officially' released because Praz has butter fingers with the mouse, come right in!

Time for the fun part... the media!
First off, due to our announcement last week, we are starting off with the player model re-designs. We would really appreciate constructive criticism as well:
Next is the ingame section. We have been working on new builds of the game, fixing nasty bugs, adding more content and so forth. Here are some images from a more recent build showing off the new map, inm_dawn.
Next we are going to go right ahead and show off the finished Altair Warrior model which will be ingame very shortly:
We will continue by showing all of the human weapons as they are finished completly:
[ Steyr-M40 / CV-10 / Spas 12 / MP5 / MX4 / M4a1 / XR8c / FN-2000 / FNC-30 / Sako TRG-22 / Hand Grenade ]
Here is an update in our Tree Development process thanks to our amazing new Lead Prop Artist, Cryomerk:
Next we are moving on to the updated version of inm_krubera which is of course being created by JeanPaul:
Next is another map, one that has been shown before many monts ago. inm_oasis. Jenn0_bing has taken the map and re-did every single bit of it making it into quite an amazing and beautiful map. See for yourselves:
Now, you couldn't think a virus could stop the mighty thecraftsman. Hell no it can't. He's back with two maps, a much updated version of inm_strike (still not 100% complete as he is still adding tree models which are being done by cryomerk as well as other props and soon Bloom Lighting):
Next from thecraftsman is the official unveiling of his brand new map, inm_dawn. Dawn takes place on Earth in a much forgotten and very poor place on earth. Focused mainly in a valley which features a flowing river as well as long forgotten structures still standing. Very much isolated, but ready for combat. Partially based on Praz's summer home:
Our newest and very talented mapper, Headake, has started on his first Incoming Source map, inm_outpost. It is an amazing map to say the least. I have recently playtested it with him and there are some amazing features in this map. Here are a few screens (to be replaced with newer ones soon):
Here is a collection of development images through out the life of Incoming Source. It also gives you an inside glimpse of quite a few things as well. Enjoy!
We are also going back to do some nostalgia. We are visiting the origional Incoming which now dates back almost 6 years. Originally created for the Half-Life one engine, but then later ported to use the Source engine. Here are some ancient images:
