The lack of updates on this website are mostly my own fault.  We’ve gotten tons of things done ever since AzuiSleet, Sunabouzu, and Spacetech have joined our team.  We feel pretty confident in our team’s abiltity to both amaze and entertain.  There’s so much work to cover over these past months, I don’t know how I’ll catch up.  However, the new website will contain nearly all of our work.

It’s probably worth noting that we’ve got PVP Battle pretty much completed.  There’s a few more weapons, maps, and some gameplay tweaks to make, but nothing huge.  We’re also working hard to finish the Ball Race gamemode (screen shots below).

I’ll try to update this website more.  Oh and I updated the FAQs.  Thank you for your support.

You and your teammates walk into a room, only to be gassed with narcotics. You enter a screwed up dream world adventure that you must survive through. Ok, I’m not a decent story teller, but it’ll make more sense when you play Puzzle: Impossible.

Here is where the dream begins…

…and this is where it ends.

Man The Turret’s map was finished recently by Sunabouzu.

Let’s not forget about the really small changes to the Route 66 Bar.

That’s all I have for you. I hope you enjoyed it!

That’s all I have for you at the moment.

What more lies ahead? You’ll just have to find out later.

Another good thing came out of this. We now own http://www.gmodtower.org, http://www.gmodtower.com, and http://www.gmodtower.net. Do we really need them all? Not really, but it’s always a good investment in the long run.

We have been focusing on perfecting different things as we place them into the alpha for testing.

In coding, Hxrmn and Nican have both been working hard on many different pieces of code.

Nican recently finished coding a seat mod for us to use. Basically, it allows one or more people to sit in any given model.

Hxrmn got a lot done this month including his new graphics library that supports SVG files. His code takes the data from SVG files (vector graphics) and translates them to display in-game. It allows us to create icons and other useful graphics without creating custom textures.

In graphics, I have reskinned a couple models to make them usable in GMod Tower.

We’ve also done some work on logos.

In mapping, I personally have been refining all the maps before I gently place them into the alpha VMF.
I improved the lighting and added in the new reskinned table for Chef Louie’s.

I also added the reskinned models to the Suite and added the new mirror entity supplied in EP2.

Including all of that, the Lobby and the Food Court merged together last weekend (the start of the alpha).

As you may have heard, I’ve had a lot of trouble trying to contact Slashhacked. I’ve emailed him four times now in the past three months. Since I have not received anything from him, we have to make up for his lost by recreating his work. So I looked over his screenshots throughly and recreated the Route 66 Bar.

The toilet’s aren’t that reliable…

I finished hole 15 for the Mini-Golf. Hole 15 is based on AlMightyBob’s design, without the waterfall.

And lastly, work on Puzzle: Impossible has been getting a boost lately.

I hope that fills your media-craving stomaches.

Anyways, thought I should let you know that we are still alive and kicking.

Let’s start with a quick update on the Pool:

I added some really small lights (in the corners) for detail purposes, while also fixing the reflections (finally). As you may be able to tell, there’s still some miscellaneous things to fix. I also have to optimize this bad boy to place in the compilation VMF.

In addition, Sharpshot123 requested wood around the volleyball court to help it blend in better. So, I took the request and tried it out. It looks a lot better.

Next, I applied some final touches to the Suite and added in the suite bed.

You may not notice it, but I improved the lighting greatly from the previous version.

You can press E on the bed and actually fall asleep. It replenishes your health and plays a tune. We might improve the sleep experience by adding in random dreams. I can’t confirm dreams at this time, however.

I changed some of the textures in the bathroom, and I may change them up again (until I find ones that suit it perfectly). Also, we have not finished the models for the bathroom just yet (that’s why I’m using the grimy default HL2 ones).

Last but not least, I finished work on Hole 14 for Mini-Golf.

Episode 2 really made everything look so much sleeker.

Well that’s all the update I have for you tonight. Look forward to another big update on Puzzle: Impossible sometime this weekend.

While I was at it, I decided to update the team list and progress.

I’m not offended by him stealing the design at all. However, he still should give at least some credit…maybe say it was inspired by GMod Tower. Just something…

Anyways, if you want to download the map go here: http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=29064 Update: Link removed, sorry guys.

It may ease the painfully long wait for a GMod Tower release. Or it could hurt you.
