Merry Christmas to ya all! And here is a not so little Pre-Christmas present for your RS gaming pleasure :-), brought to you by the Ordo Xenos! Hop over to the forum thread
http://www.rivalspecies.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1225 and congratulate them to their stunning decision to host a new RS server these days! Yep, thats right, you read correctly!

Apart from this great news, we also made quite some progress in the developement of the next Rival Species beta! Bahl has been hard at work incorporating the missing Vehicles for all the new species in RS (Orks, IG, Necrons and Tau) and adding their weapons. As well extensive internal reworking of the code took place and we finally have real pipelines for compiling the model content of the game. (That will some fine day lead to a high res texture pack for the RS models.)
Except from that, Jiggaman continued his work on the Tau Battle Suit Weapons and Zenarion created the Kroot hands and the Kroot Rifle. As well Meazum did quite some work on sound and animation projects and is currently working on a skin for the Tau battle suit! If he manages to finish that, we shall welcome him on the dev team :-).
Ill add some nice eye candy of the IG vehcile weapons later on, probably tomorrow.
