Back to business

Hi Noxcrew community!

Happy 2020! I hope you all had a lovely holiday and got lots of lovely presents!

Noxcrew are back after our time away, rested, refreshed and ready to grab 2020 by the horns! With a new outlook and renewed vigor, we’re starting as we mean to go on by diving into not one but two maps in our quest to get them out for you all to enjoy!

The team has been rolling into the new year working on both Destructobot vs Dinosaurs and Codename:Cow, getting up-to-date with what's been done, what needs to be completed and figuring out how long it's going to take to get them to our exacting standards.

And thankfully it doesn’t seem like it will take too long at all!

DvD has had some minor tweaks made to its world and textures, but nothing groundbreaking. In the meantime, a lot of the mechanics, animations and all that other cool stuff is finally working and getting finalised! All we really need to do now is stitch the whole thing together, test the living daylights out of it and we’re good to go! I know I said that a lot last year but with the team all pumped up and raring to go, I think they actually mean it this time!

As DvD once again heads towards the finish line, Codename: Cow is finally getting some attention! The world has been updated with some minor touch-ups while the absolute army of entities we’re adding to this map are finalised and coxed to start behaving themselves, especially after some mischief kicked off in the week (the curse of converting between versions strikes again but we got a handle on it pretty quickly).

This misbehaviour has given the art team some time to add a whole host of fun and slightly ominous Easter eggs into the world, which was gearing up to be a quaint little thing, now I’m worried something might be hiding out there. Hopefully, we can find out what they’ve unleashed before it reaches you guys….

Finally, we’ve been working on a little announcement that should be reaching you guys in the next few days so keep an eye out on Twitter, it's going to be exciting!

And that’s your lot!

We’ve got some big plans ahead of up in 2020, so look forward to more maps, more creativity and a lot more nonsense! I’m excited to share this year with you all and I hope we can make it the best one yet!

Until then, see you next week!
