So these UT2004 videos have me pretty jazzed about the new version. I've played my share of UT, as well as UT2003, but 2k4 looks like a whole new party. Epic (and I'm not trying to kiss up, honest) is one of those rare companies who can create great technology as well as use it to make a fun game. I don't know about the technology part, but I want coil to be known for the FUN™ in its games. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what the public thinks of Duffers.
Speaking of the game, I am still holding out on releasing screenshots until I get the assets to a place I'm confortable with. I made screenshots for the website when we launched, and I cringe at them now, because I don't feel they properly portray the game. They are like Duffers "Lite". The game is coming together, and you can play a hole of golf now (only after over a year of development ;), so the team is gaining momentum. There's still a lot of work to be done, but now that we're all fairly experienced with the Unreal Engine, the hurdles are getting smaller. I can't wait to show people a golf game using an engine primarily designed for first-person shooters. It handles it quite well.
