TresCom River (III)

[gorlosky]

Just finished Trespasser for the second time, and then played TresCom Ops (I) and TresCom Isle (II).
* * FANtastic * *
So what is happening with TresCom River (III) ?

[mega raptor]

Its the final level of the trilogy. If you've seen remdul's skin pack raptor boat, that will presumably be in the level. Other than that and the fact the trescom river will probly defy everything they did in the trescom isle level, as trescom is currently working on the final of trescom isle, the level is shrouded in mystery. Ooooooh.

[gorlosky]

Can't hardly wait for III to be finsihed. Curious though, that you said Isle is NOT finished ? You mean there is more after I pick up the scuba gear ?

[Rebel]

No, the scuba dive is the end of tc_isle, m.raptor meant that generally there's a final release after a beta release, mostly to address any bugs and add some splash (such as models, detailing interiors, et cetera). Nothing that changes overall gameplay.

Mostly, add the finishing touches --

I thought that Remdul's raptor boat was the way to escape off of the Isle. The scuba thing was entirely cool and surprising!

Not to mention the underground cavern....man, I feel like I'm there....

[gorlosky]

That's great. I bought and played Trespasser when it first came out and found it packed away in the jewel case just a few weeks ago. Games have come a long way, but Trespasser was ahead of it's time in 1998. I wonder if DreamWorks would be willing to release the code as it's ancient in software years. (Now where did I put Speilberg's number.)

[Markosaur]

does it mean that The River will be the last map trescom ever makes? lol

[mega raptor]

I wouldn't think so, trescom will probly create other series, but rebel said he'd retire after TC_River was done.

[Hilwo]

I don't know if they'll do another series, since it seems like so much work, and for a relatively small community... Of course, who knows, I'd love to see more!

[Second Illiteration]

but the community is growing

[chronzerg]

what projects will trescom be doing after trescom ops levels are done....

will u begin to help big red with his dll's...

i was thinking of a story for trespasser 2....
maybe u guys could start off with making another trespasser...

[Rebel]

There's plenty of new talent emerging within this community and that's where the future lies. We old dawgs will be yesterday's news before you know it, and those with top-notch talent will eventually venture out into the professional gaming world (like Andres already has and most likely, Remdul will soon follow (hopefully, Big Red will stick around for a while yet)). New blood.... that's what will keep this community going.

[Slugger]

Are you guys gonna do Demo-2005?

[Rebel]

Actually, that was one project that I had a serious interest in and Remdul and I exchanged quite alot of info regarding model design, level layout and puzzlings, though I honestly don't know if we'll ever put it together or not. No one seems to have the time these days, including myself.

I won't spill any of the finer details, you know, just in case we do decide to assemble it (wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone), but it would be available to the GP, have a certain timed play and it would highlight many of the advancements that we've made to the game since dreamworks' original demo release. The goal mostly was to make a great demo, make it widely available, preferably beyond trescom and onto some gaming networks, gather attention for the game and of course that outside chance of gaining the attention of eagames.

Rebel -- I can lend a hand if you'd need it.
