                          J Diamond

     Here are some much requested updates on the progress of Alien 
     Quake, plus some nifty screenshots of some of the models and 
     stuff.  


     O.k., AL|EN QUAKE is starting to take a bit of shape.  I have 
     many new models nearing completion, and the focus of the game 
     is coming much clearer.  Many thanks to Brian Martin for Meddle1.6
     and whoever made Breeze Designer 2.0, without either, none of these 
     new models would be possible.  It's a slow tedious process, but the
     results are well worth it :)

     In the models pic, you will see a chestburster, a baby alien, a mid
     sized guy, and the full grown terror that cannot be stopped.  I may
     eventually build a queen model, but at this time I have no plans to
     do so.  There are also a couple of weapons - a pulse rife and a 
     chaingun.  Some of the models are completed now.  The mid-sized 
     alien has been for awhile, and that is the one that is uploaded to
     the net at various sites.  The full grown alien is also done - and
     it is extremely terrifying and powerful.  BTW, these stages are not
     simply just larger and smaller versions of the other - they have 
     different frames and sequences from each other, though some are the
     same, such as the jumping frames.  For example the mid-sized alien
     kind of crawls on the ground whereas the full alien walks upright and
     then crouches down to run at you, and then attacks you with diffenent
     arm motions.  Most of the frames were formed from the demon.mdl of both
     the qtest and regular Quake, with lots of changes in the overall body
     shape and feet,etc...Plus the graphics for each alien are somewhat 
     different, so there does seem to be an evolution of sorts.  The face
     hugger will be next, and I may be having someone build that one for
     me(someone with 3ds!)

     The pic with the screenshots are mostly old ones from the Qtest 
     version.  As soon as I finish an appropriate level for the registered
     version, I will prolly upload some nice new screenshots :)

     Also - to anyone trying to reach me via email from 10/1 to 10/7 - 
     I prolly didn't get it :(  The people who administer the mail here
     with the infinite wisdom have once again totally screwed things up...

     Thankx to everyone who has shown interest in this project - and 
     especially to those who wish to help out - Just as soon as I get 
     the models working together in Quake(read - they will evolve just 
     like the movie) I will be ready for some level builders and other 
     stuff :D  This will be not to far away....Remember this conversion
     will be more like the first alien movie, with emphasis on surprise 
     and not sheer numbers of beasties....

     Yes, there will be a page coming up very soon for AL|EN QUAKE!
     It will be located under a section of my modern hard-core band's
     page, so you will have to check out the band to get to it - the 
     price one must pay....
     Anyway, to get to it go to http:\\www.electricpages.com/tmin - here
     you will see a page with some cool Baltimore bands - including the
     newly major label signed Jimmies Chicken Shack - and my band
     GRIEVENCE - soon to be signed as well.  Click on GRIEVENCE and it
     will bring up the page and there will be a link to the AL|EN QUAKE
     page...The page will have status updates and pictures and other 
     good crap.
