I am very pleased today to see that my blog has been visited by over 100,000 visitors since 4 years 😀 4 years that I shared with my visitors what is fascinating me in the Unreal universe. I did not think at first that I would even reach 50,000 visitors, thus reaching the double is very satisfying 🙂

I wanted to thank my visitors, veterans and newcomers. You encourage me to continue to share all these new discoveries and to spread information about my personal projects, tutorials and those of Unreal Old Friends.

In this time of celebration, I wish you Happy Holidays 2013 with loved ones and friends!

Je suis très heureux de constater aujourd’hui que mon blog a été visité par plus de 100 000 visiteurs et ce, depuis 4 ans 😀 4 années que je partages avec mes visiteurs ce qui me fascine dans l’univers d’Unreal. Je ne pensais pas au début que j’allais même atteindre 50 000 visiteurs, donc d’avoir atteint le double est très satisfaisant 🙂

Je tenais à remercier mes visiteurs, vétérans et nouveaux venus de votre présence. Vous m’encouragez à continuer de partager toutes ces nouvelles trouvailles ainsi qu’à divulguer des informations sur mes projets personels, tutoriels, ainsi que ceux d’Unreal Old Friends.

En cette période de réjouissances, je vous souhaite de passer de très Joyeuses Fêtes 2013 avec vos proches ainsi que vos amis !

Mapping,

I’m glad I finally finished the two maps planned for the next UOF Map Pack (UOF5). This is DM-Mako-L2 and Greed-Mégane Winter Edition. I am very proud of Greed-Mégane WE as it is in my opinion the best of my maps at all levels and I have worked hard to achieve this! But I can reveal the release date of this pack. So, to follow…

I started another low poly (BSP) map since some months now which I didn’t found a name yet. This map is using the ‘Quake 4, PK02 texture set’ by Philip Klevestav. This is the official preview of the pack :

And also some work in progress pictures :

Stevie’s corner site,

I’ve made many changes under the 3D / Arts main section. You will find a completely revamped Artist page 🙂

In the UT3 world,

I note that despite several recent publications on BU / Epic forums, threads are almost empty of comments despite there are hundreds of views ? This is very discouraging for level designers 😦 Although we build maps for us at first, it is important to get the community support, otherwise it give absolutely nothing to release something on a forum if no one share their comment ! Players, it takes 10 seconds to write something constructive while we, level designers, take us months to build a quality map. So comment if you want to download other maps in the future ! Do not wait until the forums are empty before doing it 😉

In the UDK world,

Although a little slow since the past months, very interesting projects continue to appear on the Epic and Polycount forums. I am amazed to see so many quality projects. This is great !

Second post about UOF 2013 projects 😀 First here.

I’m very happy to share the content of the ‘Coming soon!‘ thread on UOF forums which consist of posting teasers of what to expect from the UOF members for UT3 in 2013! 😀 You can also follow UOF on Facebook 🙂
