Any chance of getting 5 or so people for Mann vs Machine at some point?

Jim!

I've added Jim Shannon to the group and sent an invite out to Dean Gaffney. He's not GamesDev, he's Software dev but he's an awesome guy and the current CompSoc admin. =)

If you're tired of the same old L4D maps this post may be relevant to your interests.

While we await the next batch of L4D DLC (allegedly out this month), people have been busy working with the SDK creating some real high quality maps (some not so high quality maps too).

The cream floats to the top though, so this post will be our repository for good maps. Add a comment with what map you think is good, so all of us know about it!

Left 4 Dead PAX News

New Special called the Jockey, jumps on your head and tries to control you. The only way to stop him is to move like crazy.

Jockey:

There's a Desert Eagle which takes out the infected with a single shot to the head, apparently you can unlock laser-sights for it.

The new campaign is a carnival named "Dark Carnival", which speaks for itself.

Best part is that there are guitar and katana melee weapons! I've seen the guitar first hand but I've only read about the katana. (Here's to hoping it's true)

Left 4 Dead DLC "Crash Course" Mini-Campaign

Gerixeon — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 23:51:07 +0000

Valve posted a release saying they're releasing a new campaign that will bridge the gap between No Mercy & Death Toll.

It will support all game modes and be out in September.

I'm hoping they will bridge all campaigns with more DLC and fill in the gaps.

Directions to use are in there. It's cool, Valve thought so anyway. ^_^

If you're bored & have nothing to do, Check out Trine.

A clever little dungeon crawler type game. There's three classes: Thief, Wizard & Knight, each with their own items & abilities to collect. They each have their own tech tree too, so when you level up you can spend their skill points on upgrading their abilities & researching new ones.

The wizard can create boxes & shapes (just like in crayon physics), for getting to high places, crossing obstacles & crushing undead. He can levitate objects too, so in co-op you can draw a box get your partner to stand on it while you levitate them to a higher platform.

The Thief has a bow as her main weapon, which you can upgrade to shoot extra arrows etc. She also has a grappling hook that she can shoot with her bow into any wooden surface. Its useful for rappeling across gaps & chasms, of which there are many.

The Knight has a sword as his main weapon, and has a shield for blocking. He's the main attacking character, but you can also upgrade him with different abilities, e.g. He can throw boxes (& in co-op other players) through the air.

There are 16 levels in the full game & atm there is a demo available on steam with the first two levels.

Unfortunately the game itself is quite expensive for an arcade game (€30), but a PSN version of the game is coming out soon, probably next week for €20.

It just so happens I'm gonna get the PSN version which allows for game-sharing on up to 5 authorised PS3s. Matthew has already asked to go halves with me on the game, if anyone else is interested in splitting the cost leave a comment & when the game comes out I'll give you instructions on how to download it.

Here is a video too so you can get an idea of what the game is like:

Pfffffff that turned into a pretty big post. :P

Valve have commented saying L4D & L4D2 will work together.

Also on that note, anyone want to play L4D? Message me or reply in the comments field on a day. It would be fun if we all played.
