[REspawn]

Update 13/02/05: 5 New screens - turnipfan.com/nec_screens/13_02_05/13_2_05.html

----------------------------------------
I thought it about time to start a topic on the island.
Some of you already know that a 3rd Myriad island is under construction and goes by the name Necrosis island.
I will be updating this topic regularly over then next few weeks.

At this point i would like to thank illspirit for allowing me to make this island and for allowing me to be part of the MI team.
I would also like to thank Barton waterduck for his mission coding skills and to GT-1 who has been setting up the traffic and street lights.

The island at this stage it 35% - 40% complete, all the roads and tunnels are complete and have there car paths in place.
Ped paths will be one of the last things to be completed on the island because of the changes to ped areas and buildings.
Several blocks of land and buildings have been completed all with lods and will be fitted with timed objects soon.

The entire island should be 95% complete at the end of the month / early next month at which point i hand it over to Barton so he may begin coding the missions.
During this time i will be adding the ped paths and doing a general touch and clean up of the island and its files.

As you can see from one of the screens in the development section Necrosis island is just over a quarter the size of Vice City.
The island features a wide verity of areas ranging from Slums, Docks, Fancy downtown buildings and sleazy red light district.
The project actually started back in December of last year when i had some spare time and i wanted to build a lot, but after some talking between myself and illspirit it turned into an entire island.
Since then its undergone several reworkings including the scraping of the entire layout.

The island is the biggest project i have ever undertaken and i have tried to make it the best i can and i hope this shows in game.
Necrosis island features pre-lighting like i have never attempted before, mainly on the roads, the entire road layout was created as one whole object so that when lighting was applied to it, it created a perfect transition from bright to dark areas.

Necrosis island also includes a GTA exclusive, the first user made destructible objects, to the best of my knowledge nobody has ever made there own object for the game that can be damaged. check out the screen shot below.
The island has everything you would expect from a small city.. parks, waste land, hospital, cop shop, fire station, waste land, storm drains, public transportation, hotels, shops, red light district and much much more.

For now i think that's about it, like i said above i will be updating this topic over the next few weeks so keep and eye out.
If you have any suggestions or feedback then please post them below.
All the best,
-Dave

Sorry about all the trouble with starting the topic, half way through making the topic i hit submit instead of preview, then the forums wouldn't let me edit it and i kept getting errors, so i locked the topic, removed and started fresh.
Sorry for any trouble caused.

I've tried the beta, and I can officially say Necrosis is better than sex in a tub of pudding. And we all know how good pudding is. Necrosis > pie as well.
