Keel has joined the Slipgaters, and he's ready to rocket.  Whether you find yourself in the Bad Place or in the depths of the Cistern, you'll want him on your side.  You definitely don't want to be in his way.

The Doom Warriors are here and ready to kick some demon ass.  That leaves the Slipgaters and Strogg Troopers.  Two down, two to go.

Emerald Tiger at LvL world posted a review of Generations Arena back in October.  I stumbled on it while checking the site for new and interesting maps.  He has plenty to say about Gen, and it's all good.  You can see the review here:

While you're there don't forget to show them some love and look around at their astonishingly large collection of maps for Q3A.  You might just find a new favorite!

Halloween has come and gone, but Spooky Scary Skeletons can show up any time in the Arenas Eternal.  Bones can now properly handle all the weapons available to the Doom Warriors.  Whether death by chainsaw or Terminated* by shotgun, this undead foe doesn't care how you die.

It seems a software change on our webhost borked the Server Browser.  This has now been corrected.

Crash is now fully animated.  In this scene we see her showing Doom why she's still qualified to be his instructor.  Bones will be the next character to get proper weapon poses.

The Earth Soldiers are ready for action.  All four player models now have a full set of animations and are ready to rock and roll!  Work now begins on the second Generation, the Doom Warriors.

Part of the major work for 1.0 is getting the player models to hold their guns correctly, and Dual Gatling Guns is at the top of the list.  Not only is it really necessary to see how many gats someone is carrying, we think it's totally badass as well.  Sarge and Mynx already got the treatment for internal testing, but most of this had to wait until all the weapon models were done so the frames could match up and all the animation could be done at once.  We'll be adding each Generation in one at a time and posting some teaser shots as we go.

The final entry in the Strogg Troopers arsenal is the Phalanx Particle Cannon.  Ever wonder what's better than a Rocket Launcher?  How about a compact double-barreled cannon that fires super-heated magnesium slugs in quick succession.  Give them both barrels and watch the gibs fly!  Uses special magnesium slugs for ammo, and spawns where Arena Gladiators would pick up a Nailgun.



To see them all in action, here's a video:

So what's next?  As you may have noticed, there's not a large variety of characters in the videos posted recently.  The main 5 need to train the other combatants how to properly hold their new weapons, which means player model rigging and animation.  We also be cooking up some icons for the new guns, plus hunting down and fixing any bugs that crawl out along the way.
