The Crucible:

Firstly, i'm sure everyone is waiting anxiously for the Crucible to be released, but first we have some news.

Well we have decided to develop the Crucible now, with the aim of going commercial. Unfortunately, this means that it will be delayed further, however, it will undergo more extensive testing and polishing. The finished product will be a more rounded game and should feature more maps, characters, weapons and also a few other features.

The idea behind this is to get the Crucible to a profesional standard, playing well and supporting us to make more cool games
The final result will be it's own game, and not a UT3 mod, as the currently released versions play
We'll be sure to update you as we progress, but we hope to manage it quickly, and we'll be working very hard at completing it and other projects. Which brings me to my next point.

Other Projects:

As i'm sure you've guessed, that we are working hard on something other than the Crucible. While it was the main focus, with the switch to a commercial Crucible plan, we are developing two simultaneous projects. The other is working well it so happens, and it's very fun. DC has been at this one for a couple week's, and it's showing great progress. We'll be sure to keep you posted on this one as well, as well as announce it propper in due course.

So there you are. We are working hard on finally completing some games that will keep us going.
Thank you to everyone for sticking with us this long, and i hope you'll be happy with what we have in store for you

Maybe some of you have noticed, but as the game draws closer and closer to its first release, media is being released more frequently, and today we get access to a series of brand new, never-before-seen screenshots. The main focus of this new batch of screenshots is, obviously once you check them out, to show off more of the gory goodness that we only got a sneak peak at earlier. It is becoming progressively more evident that this will put BW's Bloody Hell to shame. What a shame. But it's awesome never the less.

But you know what they say, pictures tell a thousand words...



...so get your ass over to Runestorm's Facebook page and check the rest of them out!

Smell the iron in the air? See the red paint job on walls and ceilings dripping down?

For a while people have been begging for lots of blood and gore to be a part of The Crucible's otherwise lovely aesthetical appeal, and Runestorm might just have heard our prayers. This is another thing to add to the list of things where UDK Crucible will be superior to its slightly older brother who is a prisoner of UT3; lots and lots of delicious and...well...gory gore.

But there is no need to reinvent the wheel, here is a quote of BlackEagle's post:



As you can see, this is going to be bloody awesome. Even BW's bloody Bloody Hell doesn't stand a chance, even if we killed Al Gore over and over again with it. Aaaanyway, enough with those bloody gore puns. This goes to show how much of a difference a better engine makes, Runestorm can do what they previously could only dream about, and now we are seeing the offspring of their hard work in the form of screenshots, and later the game itself.

If you want to tell Runestorm how awesome they are, be sure to join our forums and voice your opinion here:
