November was a challenging month for the team, some of us changed jobs, some of us became very sick. But we still managed to finish a level, make some music, and a bit of coding.
Level Design
Work on E1M6 has now wrapped up and last week we started working on E1M7, the final level for Episode 1.
Dozens of new textures, models/props were made for E1M6 to help give it a pristine, somewhat "clean" feel compared to other levels.
The Medical Facility's purpose is to both be a patient orientated facility and a research area. The TEC were meddling with things beyond their comprehension.....
Here is a flyby of E1M6 - Medical Facility
Audio
Each level in Retchid comes with a few music and ambient tracks depending on the progression of the player, and the situation of the space the player is in.
This is one of the new tracks for the E1M6 - Medical Facility level called "Miscreant of Man"
Code
HUD targeting icons were updated and implemented. Work also began on our more fleshed out dismemberment and death system.
