So after the BU database got nuked by al qaida it took us awhile to get back on our feet. You may have noticed the Seven Bullets speedrun challenge currently underway. More on that in a bit. First I'd like to bring our devoted public (all four of you) some news in a little piece I'd like to refer to as, "Residual Development". Those who wander the halls of UnrealSP.org are already aware of the situation concerning Battle For Na Pali, our sister project (Marsha, not Jan). Due to internal problems and other factors (like how lots of members between our projects were inbreeding and slowing things on both fronts), BFNP has been put on temporary suspension. In the meantime, several members of the BFNP mapping squad have been assimilated into our collective and are working to bring RD's hefty dev to a close sooner rather than later. Nicolas Eymmerich, XYZ, Carthage, and Ultimate weasel have joined the ranks of our mappers while Raven (not to be confused with our voice actress, Red_Raven) is helping our code/scripting prodigy UArchitect with the bulk of what I like to refer to as, RD's "awesome" factor. With any luck we'll finish this damn thing sometime in 2008 because, frankly, I'm sick of hanging out with these people. But I jest. Aside from bringing the last bunch of shots we showed last time (since they were nuked from the front page during the database crash) We have a sexy shot for you. Kind of a "we're sorry we fucked you over for so long, but it's not you baby...it's me" sort of apology for all the delays. It's an axe! OMFG! Just to give you guys an idea of how broad the weapon range will be in RD, as Jones you'll have to rely on everything you can get your hands on in the environments you find yourself in. In some cases that means shiny, high-tech looking weapons. In others, it means whatever rusty sharp thing you find in the shed. Coming back to the contest, the deadline will be called when we have at least three runs stored on the active thread. So far we have one, and the time to beat is roughly 63 minutes. You can find a video of the young lad's endeavor (everyone give props to Ghost for being the brave, first contestant) as well as screenshots of his run on the thread itself. Use his example as a template if you still aren't sure how to catalog your runs. As for the prize, I'm going to offer a multiple choice fun bag of shit. Sort of like I did with the Xidia contest way back when that led to the winner's request for what became Skytown Redux. Without further delay (or decay omfg ok I'll shut the fuck up) here are the prizes you can shoot for, but remember....you can choose ONLY ONE: 1) You can have one character based off you for the selection based multiplayer/COOP mode shipping with Residual Decay. This not only includes the character's name and appearance (you can do it off yourself, or do something fun...whichever you want) as well as partial say on how his stats rack up. 2) This one is sort of a dual choice; You can request a Multiplayer map to be made according to your personal specifications OR if you are a mapper you can create a Multiplayer map of any style and submit it to be included (we'll put it in there nomatter how much it sucks or how batshit you make it). 3) You can beta test Residual Decay before it is officially released. You'd be the only person outside the team to do this. You'll also get the distinction of being the fastest motherfucker to brace the awesomeness that is Seven Bullets, and will be given custom made avatars and sig pix to go along with your selection. So there it is, what you're all playing for. -Prophet
