Merry Christmas! Brief update and a… video…

Hello everyone! It’s been a while since the last update! I’ve been working since then on some characters, enemies, their accesories and weapons, files background images, etc…

Open the image in a new tab to see it at full size

Also, I’ve managed to add, at will, a type of shadow effect that is used only in a few areas of the game. (Don’t panic! The addition of these kind of shadows is a piece of cake — it won’t delay the project progress at all and it’s just needed in certain areas). This is a small sample of what can we do now:

Trees and leaves cast shadows on characters’ models.

This post is just a brief update.

I’m planning to post the first of a regular series of videos covering the entine “final” version for every chapter. January 1st will be the date for Chapter 1-1. What you’ll see in the video can be considered “final” in every way. I think this will be really fun because I’ll play the game in Professional Mode as a regular player (but paying attention to the details, of course).

As a side note: Some people have asked why the character improvements are not included in the download pack. The reason is that these improvements were made after the release date of that pack. This leads to another recurring question we’ve received. We are not releasing individual packs of the characters because of file and folder structure reasons. Some of the updated files would clash with some mods people are using, and it would generate a lot of issues and questions. Also, the time needed to prepare a release pack is quite long (lots of tests are needed to make sure there won’t be problems when people install the packs).

So, all the updates you’ve seen on our website since July 13, 2018 will be released in the final pack. Thank you for your understanding and infinite patience, and… Mendez wishes you MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

    I just wish there was a way to add real shadows into the game. I wonder why the devs went with baked shadows, they could have at least included it with future releases. Anyway awesome job in including tiny details like this one. Can’t wait for the full release!

    LOL that dreidel song

    • Dan S says:

      I was trying to figure out what song that was lol Is it safe to say that was a jazzy Spanish interpretation? It was pretty enjoyable actually!

      • albert says:

        Its title is in the youtube video description. I really didn’t know that song before making this video haha, but it fits perfectly the moment Mendez arrives XD

    las sombras son una pasada! por cierto hablando lo de pasartelo de nuevo mostrando los detalles, hay un canal en youtube que hizo eso con una de tus ultimas versiones del proyecto, y es genial! podrias hablar con él. Hace una comparacion a camara lenta a pantalla partida entre tu proyecto y el juego original haciendo coincidir exactamente los lugares por los que va pasando. Yo lo sigo solo por eso. No se si se puede dejar por aqui, espero que no se considere spam ya que no tengo nada que ver con él, tan solo creo que podrian interesarte las comparaciones puesto que estan muy bien. El nombre del canal es Pokemonfan4ever

    • albert says:

      Ahh sí! ya lo conozco! Es muy de agradecer la promo que nos hace 🙂 Nos pidió permiso para hacerlo. No es problema!
      Gracias! La verdad es que es la guinda del pastel poder añadir esas sombras en ciertos lugares 🙂

      Aun no sé qué formato tendrán mis videos en cuanto a si habrá comparativa o no, o solo en lugares puntuales para mostrar “cambios interesantes”.

    Awesome work Cris and Albert, your strides of progress are much appreciated, and I look forward to the final product. Happy Holidays to you and yours 😉

  14. Booker Overbeck says:

    Are you guys going to make effects like blood and the acid of Novistadores be better?

  15. Gregs2k2 says:

    Amazing work as always guys. Hope you have a great Christmas and an even better, productive New Year!

    Hey guys, I’m watching you on YT, and I think in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4txefcgU_8 Leon’s eyes look a bit too much reflexive. What do you think?

  17. revil4 says:

    about change skins? leon ashley, steam hd version, how to?
    awesome work, thanks friend.

  18. kisamee says:

    hi can you add static reflection ? Mr.Curious did it here : https://youtu.be/WkpxIznY9R4

    • albert says:

      Hello!
      Do you mean under the floor? If this is the case, the reflections on the floor are just duplicated and inverted models of the room. And the floor is slightly transparent. It’s not a real reflection effect, it’s a visual trick 😉

  19. Victor Borges says:

    I’m really looking forward to this new update.
    Great job guys!

  20. Julio says:

    I don’t know if you already have but it would be nice if you added fog; not as intense as silent hill fog LoL but it would heighten the atmosphere of the game. Keep up the good work, ill wait to download when the final release is done.

    • albert says:

      Thanks!
      The idea is to keep the original atmosphere, because any changes of this kind would be a matter of taste… and I’m sure there would be a lot of complains haha
