New Horizon

That's how much we got in the storm yesterday. Third storm in the last week and a half. I think we have had a total of 70 or 80 cm's fall in that period. Thankfully some of it melted before this storm hit. Apparently we're getting another one this week too. LOL This is the worst we've had in years.

Looks great!!

This is our driveway today after the snowplow cleared our street. I don't have a snow blower...so it's good old shoveling snow for me!

I hope you're not serious Vad. :lol: It's a total conversion of the Doom 3 engine into a stealth based platform. Everything has to be designed from the ground up. AI, Sound propagation, Textures, Models, Voice Sets...etc, etc. This can not be pulled together in a few months.

:lol: No guest bashing going on here. Sorry if you were given that impression. As we said, there will be vertical wall movement. It just won't be with gloves. You have to understand that with the inclusion of rope arrows, vertical movement must be balanced a little differently. Nothing more complicated than that really. Some feel more strongly about it than others but in the end it has to come down to a design decision and nothing more. If we refused to include any form of vertical wall movement...now THAT would be unreasonable. That's really all that can be said about it without repeating what has already been said.

:lol: Never one to mince words! oDDity has yet again proven why we keep him chained in the basement, working long hard hours on those mouth watering models, without food or water. How the hell did he get out here? Shoo shoo. BACK I SAY!!! At any rate, yes...there are people on the team who loathe climbing gloves, there are people in the community who loathe them. It makes absolutely no difference what our motivations were. The point is that the FUNCTION will exist. For some there is a stigma attached to climbing gloves, might as well start fresh and give it a fair chance.

Not really, we just wanted to achieve this in a different way. We can be a tough bunch sometimes.

Could be done. I still like to have the icons on the screen showing how many I have left of each item, but I'm open to the idea. Will giving the hands more onscreen time be less distracting that small icons though? I realize the general idea would be to remain unarmed at all costs and I can see why you would want to have this considering it would be for people who want to play without the hud icons.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about the depth BT. It looks fantastic.

Thanks Hylix, A little too early for us to answer that particular question in earnest, but we can tell you that we're discussing such things and to check back with us on that issue in a few months. It would take a lot of work to balance this against established gameplay.

Right after those photos were taken, I sharpened them up and took off half of my face. It appears that hair will never grow there again!!! Bonus!

I'm happy with Springers concept art as well. Some of the above pics may come in handy for some details but, as you said, you're still going with the same basic concept.

The configurability is more for placement rather than different models.

I would say a year to a year and a half for completion. Website update? Hmmm, not sure. Once we have something substantial to show.

Can't give out anything too concrete this early in developement but..... Similar to Thief 1 and 2...but....haven't fully settled this yet. There are many sounds but nothing that we can post just yet. Our primary inspiration is Thief 1 and 2, but there is much room for our own flavor. The HUD will be non intrusive however. That's all I can say about that for now. Well, I think I'm off for the night.

:lol: Yes, it has turned me into that which "NIGHTMARES" are made of.

:lol: We're going to burn in hell aren't we?

Not sure how thick they are, I know that they are a standard stainless steel chefs blade cut to the custom shape. Here are some more pics for glove detail. Going a bit crazy with the pics....but I LOVE this glove. Sorry Tyrot. I know how shocking this must be for everyone, but everyone has their breaking point. :lol:

Nah, I was just a fan of the old "Nightmare on Elmstreet" movies when I was a kid and I always wanted to have the glove. I tride to make one...rather unsuccessfully, when I was around 10. I decided to order it from a gentleman in Vancouver BC here in Canada. He's been perfecting his craft for around 15 years and three years ago decided to start selling screen accurate collector gloves. The glove was different in each movie, but I always loved the one from the first film and that's the one you see in my photos. The guy who makes them had a rather rough year personally and I actually waited 13 months to receive this glove. In the end, it was well worth it.

:lol:

A little specialty item that I bought. Hand crafted. Screen accurate...and a LOT of money. Don't mess with New Horizon!

By saying "we" I do mean the dev team and we are making this as much for the community as we are for ourselves but please remember...we are as much a part of the community as we are developers. Final decisions have to rest with the development team...otherwise, nothing gets done. We do this for free and we do it for love of the game. Just because we disliked an item does not mean we will do away with the function entirely. There are many different ways to achieve the same effect, it doens't have to be a set of gloves. I can't really comment on that any further other than to say, you don't need "climbing gloves" to climb walls. Let your imagination run wild and hopefully what we have come up with won't disappoint.

This one has been locked down in our design document for quite some time now. You shouldn't feel that there won't be other opportunities. As we said, there will be no climbing gloves but we will provide other options to achieve similar goals. We have taken the time to innovate a little bit with some of the existing tools. You'll have to trust on us this one. Add to the list that you're getting rope arrows...I think the best of both worlds will indeed exist.

Never doubted it for a minute.

I saw the word "climbing gloves" and DID!!! God forgive me. Wow, we all answered that at roughly the same moment.
