It will demonstrate some of our features and story informations as well, so better don't miss it!

Refresh your browsers!  We have a new screenshot on the recent media page.  It shows off dynamic shadowing on the player and HDR.

We didn't post that much news in the past so we've decided to provide you with news about and around Dreamscape each week.
But less news doesn't mean that we've been lazy. We've added quite alot features and content that will make it to our next internal build, Build 10.
This includes features like High Dynamic Range lighting and Point Blank Attack which allows you to knock out your enemies in close combat.
We also have been working on our levels. Level 01 has been polished and Level 11 is progressing as well.
Canuck also fixed a bug on our website which didn't allow you to comment our news. 
CrazyMatt and moH joined our team and will work on our world and weapon models. We'd like to welcome you guys, we count on you!

We still need support, that's why we're looking for experienced people who fill one of these positions:

Story Writer

You should be experienced in writing stories and description for video games or modifications. If you understand the borders of mod development then we would like to hear from you.

Texture Artist

You should be able to work with Photoshop or similar programs to create realistic and tileable textures for use in maps. Source Engine experience is preferred.

Animator

You're experienced in rigging and willing to work with our coders and modelers to make Dreamscape even more realistic. Source Engine experience is preferred.

You just have to visit our forums or contact page to apply to one of these positions.

That's right, we now have female characters in Dreamscape thanks to our lead modeler, Guillaume.  Take a look at our recent media screenshot to your left.

And oh yeah, vote for Dreamscape!

Stealth is a very important gameplay aspect in Dreamscape: Pin Point Blank, and unfortunately we've never had the chance to put any effort into this feature, until now.  

First, some background on Dreamscape's stealth system; Stealth is represented on the HUD as a pointer on an arched line.  The calculation of a player's stealth involves a complex function of the lighting on the player and his current camouflage state.  Your stealth level directly affects the state of the enemy.

Today, I will introduce the camouflage system.  Virgil, the main character is an unusual character.  He is unlike you and me.  This means that he has special camouflaging capabilities.   He has a special suit that can dynamically change according to his environment.  This conceals him from his enemies.  There are restrictions, however, on the usage of the camouflage system, but I won't go into them now. 

Please take a look at our recent media for an example as well as our Moddb profile.

Hey folks.  We're glad to be back.  There's been a lot of action these past few weeks as we're preparing to release build 9.  Things are going so smoothly that we decided to release a screenshot in our recent media section.  The screenshot features our work-in-progress status/inventory screen which will appear just before you start a level.

We have also coded up a poll for our site.  Take this moment to vote for your favourite genre.

Canuck

Dreamscape: Pin Point Blank is a 3rd-person single-player RPG.

Today, we would like to present to you our main character; Virgil Coltreese.  Virgil was modeled by our lead modeler, Psykedelius.  Virgil features advanced normal mapping and texturing techniques to make him look as good as possible in Dreamscape: Pin Point Blank. 

We would like to present 8 screenshots which feature Virgil Coltreese in 8 different settings. 

If you would like to comment on a specific screenshot, please free to do so in our moddb gallery.

Thank you,
Team Dreamscape

Thanks to Raitis, the Dreamscape forums now match the look of the site.  So take this opportunity to join the forums and start posting!  We'd love to hear about your suggestions and comments. 

There has been steady progress on Dreamscape in the last month.  We have released Build 8 internally and our now working on Build 9. 

We intend to release some media pretty soon, but in the meantime, I have added one pic to the recent media section to the left of the website, which shows the player entering the so-called "Dreamscape".

The Dreamscape: Pin Point Blank mod now has a brand new website thanks to our friend Raitis.  A lot of new content has been added to the website so please take this opportunity to browse the website.  Afterwards, feel free to give us your opinion in the Dreamscape Talk section on the lower left of the website!

Now for some mapping goodness:
