I have been working a lot on adding more stuff for the Korax Arena code, I have managed to make scores for Team DM and Castle Sweep modes, which work just fine, also, I added invulnerability when respawning in DM modes, the bots have a really fair behaviour against monsters and players now too, there are some other things I would like to add before releasing the next internal beta test, like a score board for every gameplay mode, that’s all for now.

3 years at Korax’ Heritage
Today it’s another anniversary from my entrance to the Korax’ Heritage team, these 3 years have been full of work and cool things and surprises, when I started at the team, the only thing I worked was 2d art, but then at some point I realized that I wanted to help with something else, like mapping, then I decided to start making some map conversions where the base engine was changed from Doomsday to Vavoom, then I started learning programming and decided to code for Korax Arena, which has really been the only work I have made during this last year (with some more mapping here and there), and I think that KA it’s one of the most ambitious projects I have seen around for Hexen or Heretic, it really takes the engine to more than it’s limits and brings a lot of cool features to play with, I’m really anxious to work on it to make our first official release and we are testing all the problems that it might have to give you a flawless version of it 🙂 , once I finish doing this fixings to the code, I might get to work on another Castle Sweep map, that’s it for now, see ya soon!! 😉 .
My Vacations Ending :(
Unfortunately, today it’s my last vacations day 🙁 , I have been working hard with Korax Arena during the vacations, hoping to make a release, but well, there are some other things that need to be completed before a complete release, I have been working in a good way to make the bots spawn automatically in the maps, also, I have been fixing a lot of stuff regarding the bots aiming code (it was a bit messy and some of the weapons weren’t being covered), let’s hope things can be completed in short time to make a complete release ASAP, that’s it for now, see ya soon! 🙂 .
More Korax Arena development
Hi there! I have been tweaking the leveling up system, and updating the team mates code for the bots, I might also set up a map for testing a new gameplay mode, I’ll give more details of this later, that’s it for now! See ya! 🙂
Korax Arena development
Hi there! I have been coding the bots to chase for monsters and follow path nodes, it has been coming out really well, there are some remaining modifications for the leveling system and other small problems to fix, but this is going to be the best KA release so far! Stay tuned for more updates. I still have a last vacations week to keep working full time on it, let’s hope I can fix it all before it ends 🙂 .
