Jinn released to the world! { Freewill }
I must take a break from Chelsea kicking my a$$ to post some very welcome Myth news!They say you can't rush perfection, and after what's seemed like years of development, the perfect has been released! Or so we hope :)
I don't have the actual PR announcement in my mailbox, but no matter.
The lovely and hard working folks at Vistacartel have released Jinn, a complete Total Conversion for Myth II: Soulblighter. The Vista team has members now working on Myth III: The Wolfage, so you can figure that Jinn ain't gonna suck! :)
It's one hefty mutha, at about 153MB compressed. It will COMPLETELY redesign the Myth II interface. That's quite a feat unto itself!
So stop hanging around here and visit the main Jinn page for a list of mirrors: Jinn: Better than Swiss Cheese
I had the pleasure of playing one of the early betas and it was a hoot. Go give it a try and chime in one of our forums if you give it a thumbs up or down!
Now what if *YOU* want to make a game like Jinn? Well, the folks at Vista have heard you and have also released one of their top-secret tools: Apathy. It's available from several different places. One of them being the Bungie.org Hotline server. Log onto hl.bungie.org and dig down these folders until you find "apathy 1.0b.sit": uploads -> uploads bungie -> uploads myth -> uploads myth II -> apathy 1.0b.sit
Have fun!
