Alright, I'm back in Lisbon mgb. Expect some stuff soon.

[Olothontor]

MGB asked me to do some work for him. Figured I'd keep you people updated as long as I'm here.

[Natalya]

That's pretty sweet. How is the game being programmed?

[mgb519]

Gamemaker, for the moment. The language is a lot like java which is subsequently a lot like C. It's rather easy to pick up, provided that one enjoys programming.

[BFenix]

Ladies and gentlemen, Jack Havern. I hope it's close to what you imagined MGB.

Looks like Gordon Freeman.

Half Life is a key source of inspiration for the game.

Hey can I help in any way MGB?

[mgb519]

Can you draw well, do pixel art, or program?
If you answered "no," then you can walk away.

C'mon mgb, don't "buzz off" interested people like that.

[mgb519]

Okay, then tell me what you can do or think you can learn to do. I always appreciate more help, but I just want to know if you actually think you CAN help.

[alphafalcon541]

I can draw well and do pixel art however my programing skills are shit. I can program a little C++ but not anything else yet.

[mgb519]

I can always use more pixel artists. Welcome to the team.
Do you have skype?

[alphafalcon541]

I have skype though I don't have much time during the day so it may be better if you email me. I'll send a pm to you with my email, and skype name. Also thank you for allowing me to help you with this project.

No the game's not dead, just progressing slowly.



Here we have a special soldier from the Nighthawk's ranks, the Sniper.

Equipped with basic armor, you would figure he wouldn't stand out much from the rest of the Troopers. You'd be dead wrong.

This guy was intensively trained in marksmanship, close quarters combat and camouflage. Even in the tightest and farthest target, the Sniper can put a bullet in there with extreme precision.

Sporting an advanced targeting system integrated into a ballistic helmet, he can calculate bullet trajectory, sample the neighboring atmosphere for levels of temperature, humidity and eventually wind, in order to get the perfect shot. Also, the visor enables special vision modes like Infra-Red and Night Vision. Bearing a semi automatic lightweight sniper rifle made nearly entirely of highly resistant polymers with the exception for parts who suffer more stress like the barrel and chamber, extremely powerful shots are guaranteed without the need of a heavy, low mobility sniper system. Loaded with super sonic armor piercing rounds, there will be few armor systems or cover that can protect you from such an ammunition. Plus, with a variable zoom scope attached with a micro red dot sight for quick and close target acquisition, the Sniper can quickly redirect his fire to dispose closer enemies, in case he won't have time to switch to his side arm or CQC blade. (the sniper rifle was vaguely inspired by HK's PSG-1)

In the future, the Sniper's armor will be equipped with a small-sized, low signature power pack to supply an optic camouflage cloak.

Watch those long tunnels and hallways, you might not know of the Sniper's presence until it is too late!
