Originally at Halo.bungie.org.Both Peter and Jason celebrated a birthday today, which only added to the chaos, but I'm taking a breather from the non-stop party that is Halo's Development Cycle to bring you these teasing tidbits of trivia: Stephen is reworking the flamethrower animation and working out animations for one of the other weapons added last week. Chucky has beaten the pathfinding code into a nearly-final state. Matt Segur did lots of sound stuff for Marty and Jay. Marty and Jay, thrilled with their new powers, spent the week placing ambient sounds and looping music tracks - new music, as yet unheard outside the Bungie offices. They also have Doppler shifts working. Cortana has these nifty light patterns that ripple over her body. The Mighty Chris Butcher has done the work necessary for AIs to fight in midair. He's also created a bunch of tools for Jaime to use when populating the human ship and assigning behaviors to its inhabitants. Jaime is halfway done with the training level. John is busy dealing with some control issues and working with the Sin-O-MatiXXX team to get a final list of all the mission-specific cutscenes. Bernie put in a new lens flare that I have not seen but have heard wondrous things about. Detail objects are back in the game. The tank is back in, too. halo Book Navigation ‹ May 25, 2001 Originally at Rampancy. up June 9, 2001 Originally at Battleground: Halo. ›
