It is Friday once again, and we are back with yet another weekly update.
We have been hard at work this week, working on a bunch of various types of things. Including models, environments, animations (heavily) along with textures.
This week we are unvieling inm_strike. Probably our prettiest map to date. This map takes place in an near-mountain region in a grass-land type environment. There is a lake with a flowing river going through out the map. Their is a bridge going over a small canyon along with a base in the mountains and another base near the head of the lake. This is one of our larger maps, possibly even bigger than inm_scale.

Also this week, we have a video preview of inm_strike as well as a new soundtrack availible on the files page.
Titled: 'iSource - Eternal Wound.m3'
This is our menu music when you launch the game.
Enjoy it!
