Very Impressive Fan-Made Engineer Update

[ríomhaire]

A whole website including video demonstrations of each building in action.

Say what you will about the designs the guy put in a respectable amount of effort into this.

I don't think the weapons are really usable for TF2 tbh, but god they look awesome!

 

[swan_song1973]

doomsday device+flying turret=awesome.

 

[blackout]

wow, didn't think this was fan made at first.

 

[StarBob]

That's a lot of work for stuff that most likely will never be implemented. Maybe one of them and prolly with no credit given. Poor guy. I do have to applaud his non-english attempt at southern accented text.

 

[Shakermaker]

The link doesn't work for me.

The link doesn't work for me.

Did you wait for it to load? It's a flash-based site.

 

[Shakermaker]

Firefox says 'Server not found'. And Flash seems to work fine on other sites.

 

[PerToon]

Doesn't work for me either. In Firefox, Opera, IE. :|

 

[FishBulb]

Since it's being linked everywhere, the guy's site probably couldn't handle the bombardment.

 

[lord_raken]

Link just worked.

I'm impressed! The ideas need some refining but I really like the concepts.

 

[Sheepo]

"Tis"? This guy needs to learn a texan accent.

 

[X-FacToR]

I want the chicken cannon

 

[Matorbogl]

Really impressive workmanship but unfortunately most of the ideas seem to be designed under the assumption that each team would only have a single Engineer.

Regardless, it is a pretty nifty site.

Nobody else see a problem with him using the valve trademark at the bottom of his site?

Ok, these things are nice, but that's really NOT cool.

Valve didn't seem too irked by it, seeing as how they featured both of his fake updates on the TF2 blog.

Well he is using images that are Valve's copyright

But he's just trying to make it look as authentic as possible. He's kept the TF2 website style as much as possible.

Does the chicken cannon make anyone else think of Wallace and Grommit?

 

[DEATH eVADER]

There is a lot that I've only just discovered with the site I'm was totally hoping that it would be a part of the update

What? It just means that he couldn't claim these were his concepts if it ever went to court; if Valve decided to steal them that is

No, but it reminds me of Mythbusters.

It's passing off, you can't just go around using others trademarks. Like if I got some amputee porn and put that Valve trademark at the bottom, suddenly you've gone too far.

Not only that, but it could deceive some - the site is so good that people may associate that server ad at the top, with that Valve logo at the bottom. Valve may not be directly damaged by this guys work, but if he gets a lot of traffic he would certainately benefit from having used Valve's trademark.

But whatever, that's valve's problem.

Pics are nice...
