I just wanna read, man!

Another amazing episode of our “Trespasser 2”- story, has been released today by Sk8er. So head over to it here.

Recreating : Pine Valley

Another attempt of recreating this missing Trespasser level, which was orignially supposed to be shipped in the retail version , but then became turned into the demo level, is in developement. After many of us failed to finish an accurate version (even though the long running Pine Valley Site, has been having quite some successes and forthcomings), this new formed group of people, are trying their luck. We’re all wishing them good luck with this quite challenging task! To show how serious they are , they even provided us with 4 excellent screenshots… take a look:

If you got interested, then you may consider dropping them a line on their forum section.

Bill Brown I: Damn that restless boy!

Well, lots of news arrived about our dear tres-soundtrack composer Bill Brown. Looks like he’s really been busy over the last few weeks. He seems to working on a new film, titled: “the lady death”, which is scheduled for release on october 2004. Then his current project: Lineage II, is being released soon, so people who are pre-ordering it, will receive a special bonus, which includes the official Soundtrack Bill composed. But this isn’t enough for Bill, he also appeared as a guest artist on the final day of the 2004 NAMM Show and if that wouldn’t be enough he will also be speaking at this years Game Developers Conference! Now I really think that somebody’s got to come up with a way of stopping this man! 🙂

Bill Brown II: Congratulations!

I really don’t know how this guy manages all the stuff mentioned in the news item above, but he didn’t stop there. He also got married! So the entire TresCom staff and community is wishing him all the best! Congratulations to the lovely couple!

Trespasser 2: Another chapter released

Sk8er was again kind enough to spend alot of time on an extra cool and new episode of “Trespasser 2”. So all of you , who have been eager to see it, read it here.

TresCom Isle: new screenshots arrived!

Well, we felt kinda bad for not having an update on TresCom Isle for quite a while. So today we’re gonna make up for it. Take a look:

Rumor: Havoc Engine uses Trespasser code?

The well known “Havok Engine”, which is a game engine that can simulate realistic physical effects and environments, may not be as unique as it sound. Rumors state, that there might even be a connection between the “Havok Engine” and the Physics Engine used within Trespasser. It might even be that the Havoc engine was based on the original code from Trespasser! Now, we don’t know whether this is true or not, but similarities can be found…

Forum: Upgrades!

Our beloved TresCom forum, heart of our community, got some small improvements. Here’s a quick list of ’em:

-added a quick-link to the trescom chatbox

We also tried to slightly improve our main page and added a nice “users-online” status to our right menu bar. Now if you take a look at it, then you will see who’s currently cruising around our boards 🙂 We certainly hope that this will attract more of you to come…

Trespasser 2: let’s keep the baby going

What would an update be without Sk8ers weekly chapter of: Trespasser 2? Probably not much, so do not hesistate and read through the new chapter today. You will not be dissatisfied.

The Four Towers: Mission accomplished

Awsome news: TptDac finnished the work on his level : The Four Towers. And he really did accomplish an impressive piece of work. Again he was capable to overwhelme us with completely new buildings, plants and more. Again, I highly recommend this download, Or can you resist these images?

TresLinux: Installation Guide online

Here’s some good news for all of you, who ever wanted to run Trespasser under Linux. As we informed you earlier, Dapper Dan got Trespasser successfully running under Linux. But he didn’t stop there. Throughout the last week, he wrote a really great tutorial, so you can get your copy of Trespasser running as well and posted it up on our forum. So have a look here if you ever felt like playing Tres on a Linux system:

TC_Isle: Update

Just in case you have all forgotten about our infamous Trespasser level, we felt like providing you with another sneak-preview off it :

Bill Brown nominated for BAFTA Award

Two of Bill Browns recent scores have been nominated for the BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Award: Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War and Command and Conquer: Generals. We certainly wish Bill Brown good luck with that. You can also read this news item on Bill Browns page : www.BillBrownMusic.com

Trespasser 2: first chapters online

Sk8er provided us with the first chapter from his story: Trespasser 2. Many of you may remember his first story: TresCom: New Beginnings. Or may have read his Trailer. Well, for all of you who can not wait any longer: it’s all listed on our articles page. Enjoy 🙂

TpTDac’s new level

Wow, ir really looks as if our small little contest got the community going. Another old community member: TpTDac, which you may remember from his great level: ‘The PineValley Run’. (of course it’s still available in our download section), is currently working on a great new one: “The Four Towers”. Well I think that the screenshots speak for themselves:

GTA: Isla Nublar Edition

This is something, which may not be all that Tres related. But Dinosaur_Neill has been working on a site devoted to a GTA mod called: GTA: Isla Nublar Edition. Now you may ask why we’re reporting about this, eh? Well,the answer is easy. He might actually start wroking on one and if he does,he’ll use some of the original Tres models in game… Ever wondered how GTA:Trespasser would look like?Then take a look at the official page

Mickey’s got a new level as well

Mickey also started working on his very own level: The Dead Valley. I think that the first screenshots are looking very promising. So take a look yourself :

The utilities section has been re-organised.

Umm…well sorry about the lack of content in this update. There will probably be more later this week… 😉
