Woot! Tech demo coming out eventually which will be nice (hopefully early next year).

I know people will ask, so here is a quote from their blog about the engine choice.

People have been asking us one thing like crazy: "What engine are we going to use for NS2?". The short answer is - we don't know yet. The longer answer is we're evaluating Source (Half-life II) right now and expect we'll use it unless we have some big problems with it. We're implementing the most tricky technical stuff up front in our own engine (hint: it has to do with "dynamically changing environments") and that's what we're testing in Source now.


Max could bang out his own engine in no time (yes, really), but we want to stay focused on the game, not the technology.

Yeah, NS2 is going to be a new game completely, not a port of Natural-Selection, so it's going to be completely different. Just so everybody knows, I know someone's bound to ask.

They said at one time they were going to think about making their own engine. If Source can't do what they wan't, we'll see. I really can't wait for plans of NS:S.

So who else is a constie member?

Considering they havn't started it yet, I'd hope so

And shotgunraping onos?!

COMMANJOR GIMME SHIRTGUN!

This is awesome. Has to be my favorite mod ever. I'm just glad they've finally recovered from that hacking a while back. I can't believe someone actually did that.

Oh and I just have to add: xeno + physics = fun

I seriously hope it ends up as a Source Mod, but I'd play it if they made their own as well!

 

[Ravioli]

That is absolutely AWESOME!!! Is it using source engine or a completely new?

 

[Dekstar]

This sounds pretty good. Can't wait to see some of the tings they come up with. New Kharra enemies anyone?

They are looking at using the Source Engine, but if the engine can't do what it's wanting to do *example is dynamically changing enviroments* then they will either pick something else, or as they stated about a year ago, make their own engine from scratch. Lets hope Source can do what it needs.

I'm betting the Onos is "small" compared to the larger Kharaa we will be seeing.

Dynamically changing environments? Hmm, like Red Faction I wonder? Skulks dig tunnels?

A group of 4 marines are traversing a cavern they have found. They hear something. I steady *Thump Thump Thump* They recognize it as an Onos. They look around but see no other entrance, as they hit a dead end. All of a sudden the Onos charges through the wall in front of them with a howl, and devours one of the marines. They open fire on the Onos, only to release they just stepped into an amush. Skulks unburrow from the ground, slashing at the feet of the marines, while a lerk comes swooping in from the ceiling shooting off his spores gas.

The bodies of the marines lay on the ground, lifeless. One Onoes feels good, because he's already eaten his dinner.

Ohh I love it.
