Black Mesa Source V5 - "They're still working on Xen?" - Games

[QUOTE=MenteR;48489111]i've been tweaking the colors a little bit before i move on to playing around with the armor plates [IMG]http://40.media.tumblr.com/87bb5ab86e099d9571873e568420aadf/tumblr_ntahk1w00e1snm6fco1_r2_500.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] That's so much better, I've hated the space-nazi design ever since I first saw it. One suggestion; try using the texture of the iridescent/armored parts of the hunters instead of the dropship.

little update on the agrunt: [img]https://41.media.tumblr.com/ab6491b411facc9121914525ce2022aa/tumblr_ntahk1w00e1snm6fco2_r1_540.png[/img] stripped version

With a jaw like that though, it seems pretty necessary so I really have no room to question it.

hahahahaha holy shit i just noticed how he looks like a xenian stripper yeah i'll get rid of the stupid collar

And the codpiece as well.

I do like how the design looks like a mutated, augmented vortigaunt, it really gives of the "manufactured soldier" feel better than the BM ones

[QUOTE=MenteR;48490696]stripped version[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=MenteR;48492340]xenian stripper[/QUOTE] I see no issue here.

Even if they're not genetically modified, it only stands to reason that both the beefiest soldiers and the more common foot-soldiers are closely related and would share similar physical structures.

[QUOTE=Butthurter;48493552]i see what mossman meant when she said the combine took a long time to get across xen[/QUOTE] Now I know what the combine advisor tongue is used for, thanks to you

How the hell are they /still/ working on xen?

They're not on it full time. Also they've spent the last 3 or so years making sure the current stuff worked on the new engine plus upgrading the assets to look better.

Perhaps to make it a bit more biomechanical you could have some tubes on the armor like the ones near the groin that penetrate the body.

beta green has no image

yeah someone on the bm forums said the slots on the shoulders look kind of weird and i get where they're coming from. i'm definitely going to experiment more with the armor.

They're still working on Xen?

[QUOTE=Pigbear;48498915]They're still working on Xen?[/QUOTE] this question got asked many times be it intended for a joke or on purpose, even if the thread itself was named on it, can we please stop and let them do their job?

I like how the beta green looks, matching the shackles of the vortigaunts, yet I'm not sure that's a good idea since it blurs the distinction between shackles and armor.

Hunter iridescent with the first armor iteration, imo. Beta green pops too much.

I'm biased, too, and I would go with the original, black/darker colors. This is just my vision of how the Xen works but I think the green should be for slaves and workers while the military has the black color. Or simply put have color difference between the slaves and (manufactured) troops. As for the armor design, I know nothing about them but the new one looks like the shoulders would restrict movement more than the older one.

You made me think about Zardoz. Fuck you.

snip

Would say no, at least not like that, doesn't quite fit right in my opinion. Almost looks like a continuation of the chest piece. [editline]20th August 2015[/editline] But then, I did like the synth armor more, could be biased.

[QUOTE=SageJFox;48502324]Would say no, at least not like that, doesn't quite fit right in my opinion. Almost looks like a continuation of the chest piece.[/QUOTE] i'll work on another design.

i feel like it should be a bit thicker and more armored, right now it just looks like the top of his head is a different color
