New site content

by

Well, right now the team is discussing what to do with the site, since it’s a bit old and outdated with certain things, we would like to know what you, the fans, would like to see in a new version of our website.

What do you think we could add? we would like to hear your voice, since the site is oriented on giving you information about our projects, we know what information we want to give about them, but we need to ask you how you would like to receive it? do you think these dev blogs are good? you think we should remove something you don’t like? or just revamp the site’s design, keeping the amount of information like it is now?

We are giving you the chance to voice your opinions on this, so it’s your chance to adapt the site to what you would like seeing, that’s it for now, take care everyone!

Korax Arena trailers now viewable on YouTube!

by

As part of a new vigourous and aggressive marketing campaign, Korax Heritage is now looking to expand its wings beyond the Hexen community in order to promote its projects and and grasp newcoming Hexen fans from around the world. In phase 2 of this campaign, we are now posting the original 2005 KA trailers on YouTube – a free video sharing website.

As of the second this message is posted, the uploaded videos are still very new and thus may not yet be searchable on the database. In that event, here are the URLs that will take you directly to the videos.

Short trailer (1:20): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FCqF_iIXTU *

Long trailer (3:51): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3dRfU0eZrg *

Note that these YouTube uploads are the low-quality (320×230) versions: RambOrc has recorded a higher-quality ones (720×480), but it came to 93 MB over the maximum storage YouTube permits. But nonetheless, the higher-quality trailers are still available for download in *.mov format on this website.

*Edit: the URLs have been replaced with links to the high quality originals that are now on YouTube as well.

KH joins MySpace

by

Several of our team members have independently designed their own pages on MySpace, a social networking service that has gained massive momentum since the 2005. Eventually they came across each others profiles, and have thus joined forces to start a MySpace group dedicated to Korax’ Heritage. So far there is only a group page (members of the team only!), but in the near future we hope to provide a full-fledged page that accounts for all the projects.

New AI, what’s better?

by

Strange title for this entry, huh?

Well, that’s what we are looking for Korax Arena, since the last beta release, Crimson Wizard and me had been discussing about the bots and their much needed AI enhancements, I’ve been researching for ways to improve certain aspects of the bots AI and it seems this whole things can be extended greatly for other projects, like the RPG project, so you can expect new enemy AI for our projects besides new AI for bots in the next release, I’ve got some ideas, and Crimson Wizard is also working on this, so by combining these efforts we’ll be able to extend something to enemies and make some tests on our findings, we are focusing for now, in making bots to look for paths to reach things and enemies in a more realistic way, once this is done, we’ll be able to apply all this for other bot reactions, like strafing missiles, jumping for reaching something, etc.

Imagine if we could make enemies that jump to reach for the player in our RPG, or enemies who instead of attacking alone, get a group of other enemies and attack the player, or enemies who won’t attack if another one is in front of them, things like this can increase the challenge of the game for the player in a great way 🙂 . That’s it for now, see ya all again soon!
