ShootMania : Centralized News about the game.

[Kaldra]

the presentation is the map editor

you will only see how it looks, and for one part.

How it plays is another thing to be seen later

Give me a nice birthday present and show more than you are going to do.
(not gameplay, meaning building a map, detailed view of different blocks, environment as a whole, that would be cool stuff)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VeO5xkB99M - At 1 minute, there's a short footage of the Storm environment (for me, remembers a bit the TM Rally enviro).

Taken from MP blog

A nice video--if a little short.

Shootmania editor footage here: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xlvnyu ... videogames

Lots of good detail shown of the editor--the environment looks very nice to me. Hard to tell re: gameplay issues, since no real gameplay was shown. When moving through the environment, the movement had a nice quick, slightly floaty feel to it...makes me hope for some old school bunny-hopping (and strafe-jumping on PC?).

Very much looking forward to the beta!

So there have been lots of pics taken of the event, and ripped from the video. However, I felt two in particular were significant (other than, of course, the awesome view of the game itself).

Picture #1 is of the editor menu of SM, as it currently exists. So, pretty standard stuff here, we have "New Map" "Load Map" "Edit Replay"
...
What's this? "Paint car?" Discuss Is it just the alpha build blues Or, are there to be cars of a sort in SM?


Pic #2 is just before Hylis loads up the map editor...and, well, let the picture speak for itself

[mikepurdy1234]

maybe it means "Paint character"?... either way it shows that there is customization in the editor. (paint something)

can't wait to see the presentation in english.

Q: what is "Paint car"? (can have different color walls?)
Q: when is next presentation? (hope for november, but will be awesome with Spike Game Awards in December)
Q: what does characters look like? (army? space suits? plain? smilies with bodies?)
Q: vehicles? (a motor bike would work)
Q: water? (maybe added later)
Q: weather? (snow, rain...)

Im pretty sure sure Paint Car will be for the Character. It`s just not implemented yet.
I am much more interested in the new Menu entry Action Maker. Dunno what that is supposed to be.

Hylis already stated that the additional Moods are imported from Canyon to test lighting reflections of some materials. There will be 4 Moods in the Game just like in Canyon.

There is a "Paint a car" because the menu is ripped from TM2 Canyon and they probably didn't had time to change it. So there will be no "paint a car" in final version

Nooooo Be more creative! Anyway, how can they be imported from Canyon? There weren't these moods in Canyon...

[Mandark]

Only 4 of those 7 moods are taken from Canyon.
