    The ingame explorer and the hacking system is fkin' badass. This project is looking very promising.Too bad that apart from screenshots and the story, there is not much information about the actual game. How is the economy, stats etc. gonna work? What featues to you plan to have in the game?

    We'll be releasing that info very soon, it's mostly all been designed, and alot of it is ingame at this point, but we're not ready to reveal specifics yet.

    Iceland has a game developer? That's awesome. I've been wanting to move to Iceland for a while now (even learning the fkn language) and i didn't know about any game dev. Do you have a website?

    We have a few kids games devs, but those are mostly 2d based.

    I tend to add an extra C , the whole russian thing screws with my head.

    Their website is http://ccp.is/

    Only real game company in Iceland is CCCP, maker of EVE: Online.

    I did some QA for them, but I guess I'll have to mod my way into a job.

    Hello everyone!My apologies for the website troubles, but your patience will not go un-rewarded! I have updated the gallery with 2 new screenshots, and 2 ingame videos in the video section! Partly for the technical troubles and partly due to large numbers of people suggesting our work was photoshopped or an April fools joke, Enjoy!

    Worth a mention that I've completed the final candidate, and it won't be long until it's released.

    Would the large file size have something to do with the map being enclosed in a massive skybox (from what it looks like in the screenies)?

    No, it's because of the displacements.

    There are no dead ends, the gravity is low enough to jump from any platform to another.

    It's the attitude of the whole forum, "never take anything to heart". They don't mean it, everyone there knows they don't seriously think the disaster is funny.

    Don't assume I agree though, but I also don't start up some flame war just because certain people decide to be disrespectful, I'd rather ignore it. Again, this is the internet, your opinions have 0% chance of swaying other people's opinions.

    thats as many as you need

    overwatch only has 10

    That's a relief, I'm a bit too used to the whole CS 40 spawn standard.

    35megs?! I don't understand......Nevertheless, looks cool

    The displacements take a lot of space, I'm already 300% over what hammer calls "VERY FULL".

    Still, it's only 12mb compressed.

    Like Zeta said, the gravityscale is at 0.5, so you can jump almost anywhere from the top.

    12 player spawns at the moment, although it will be rather cramped on a 12 player server.

    I knew this all along, thing is that I'm pushing the boundaries in terms of map size, it's 35mb already. Many more displacements may well kill the fps, which I forgot to mention.

    The fps is noticeably better than on overwatch, even when I turn on AA + AF, lower end machines run it just fine without AA.

    Inspired by quake, I was just messing with a few displacements in hammer, and it grew into a map.

    It is 100% displacements, bar a few brush based entities, and I've only been working on it for a few days.

    I post it here since a better mapper than me told me I should.

    In regards to possible comments on the lack of physics objects, there are func_physbox tiles currently, and in later versions I will have made them respawn.

    Thanks.

    Yeah, well, it used to be much longer, but there was some private humor that you'd have to be Icelandic to get.

    A few memorable moments that I remember:

    An email virus caused a temporary inability to send mail over the internet, the good thing is that it also caused my inability to receive offers to enlarge my penis and buy viagra at a discount.

    Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck starred in the "film" GIGLI, a film so bad that they used it to torture Saddam Hussein.

    Americans show their might by stop calling french fries french, and start calling them freedom fries. The french demand that the statue of liberty be renamed "Pommes".

    Americans finely tune their technique of scaring the shit out of their inhabitants by shouting wolf. Sales of water cans, flashlights and canned food reach epic highs. As an example of how distracted people were, three copies of GIGLI were sold on DVD.

    The USA convices numerous banana republics to go to war against Iraq with them, including Guam, Puerto Rico and Iceland.

    Military personnell find three cups of sugar in the kitchen of one of Saddams palaces. The CIA has reason to believe this can cause dental damage. Iceland's prime minister decides that this justifies Iceland's participation in the war.
