Hey,

I haven't blogged for ages but im back :)

Where have I been?
I've been working on a secret project and so I've been very busy these past few months.

DawnOfMen news
sphyxgames.com/images/screenshots/gg1.pngI finally finished the DM missions :)

I've written a game mode manager for it, will post a resource soon, even though there's already one, my implementations better ;)

I wrote some AI for it well I say wrote, I just modified a resource but got carried away :)

I managed to fix some performance issues, it now has an average of 40fps on a top-end pc where as it did have 8fps

I've done a lot of bug fixes and got it stable enough for a release version

It's now just waiting on a few tweaks and some CTF/KOTH/Campaign missions
