AI Antelope - Sealife/Submarine Pack - PodRacer Pack

As posted in my last blog, work continues on the "Seawolf / Sealife" pack(s), after adding back the lighting (see end of last blog), Jens started to extend the pack some more for the full-blown "Sealife" pack - currently he is working on an "Underwater Base" where the submarines can "dock" and .... do some stuff ;)
Here is a very early shot of the base with some subs cruising around:

But that's not the only project currently, as some of you may remember, we have some more animal packs on the radar (hehe), and we have just finished another pack: the "AI Antelope" pack:

Antelope render:

The antelope features a simple, completly scripted AI, it sleeps, eats, flees from the player and wanders around in the level. Its behaviour is controlled by a simple "desires" concept, the desires can be weighted differently, so it is possible to create lazy, tame or aggressive animals e.g.

And last but not least, besides a lot more animal content packs, there will also be a "PodRacer" pack in a couple of months probably, here is a render (3DS Max):

The next animal pack will probably be the Elephant pack, so watch out!
Until next time! :)

I'd like to see a game that combines submarines, antelopes, and pod racers all together :)
