What I'd like to see, is that after Lumoria is finished, the team (If it's still together) should work with open sauce and bring another custom campaign out there, with not only better graphics, but more options that the player has for gameplay. I've only seen a few custom campaigns out there, and none of them have really had voice acting, or that nice halo feel along with good game play like this one does. Just my thoughts. Anyway, I'll be anticipating the release of Lumoria Episode 2, and when it is March, I will watch the thread every day.

Thank you for such a grand experience.
Now gimme a time machine so I can play this sooner. ;)

Higuy, I'm gonna say somewhere in April, just to have some space to fix and polish as much as we can :)



Thanks for your kind words :)
We actually have some post-Lumoria plans, but rather than use HEK (with or without OS' enhancements) we plan to use the Cryengine 3...which could also allow us to commercialise our future project :O
But that's a discussion for another time :p

*groan* I but I wanna play it now!!

lol March is my birth-month so I guess it'll work out.

No. He has a point, modding in any case is rarely considered professional, making a completely new game (which they did say they may have plans for) , is. Quit being an ignorant fanboy. Besides, professionality is all a matter of opinion, no matter what anyone says, if I think TM's work is amateurish (not saying I do, mind you) then to me they're amateurs. It has nothing to do with ignorance or blindness, for we are speaking of a matter of opinion. Ignorance, stupidity, lack of knowledge, personal bias, etc. etc., all do play a part with the formation of opinion, but that's no reason to criticize him like you've so rudely done. In truth nobody has the right to decide whether someone is professional or not, due to it's being a matter of personal opinion. Unfortunately our society likes to unjustly believe that it and certain members of it have the right to decide what's professional and amateur as if it's fact, which of course it's not. So leave him alone, because you're looking like an immature over-influenced drone of humanity's worst. Another word for that would be ignorant. Ironic, isn't it?

Really? So not only do you state that anyone has the right to have their own opinion to what is professional and what amateurish, but you also attack me on my own opinon when I say that Lumoria is a good quality piece of work that lives up to the orginal halo campaigns quality.So you are going to call me out because I admire good quality hard work? You also proved to me how much of a hypocrite you are by contradicting yourself with a huge block of text. Well done good sir.

Please let this small discussion go, it's a matter of semantics after all, point is we work in an organised way to deliver the best end product we can given our personal time budget :)
Anyways, these are exciting times and we should have some exciting new screenshots to show very soon!

I never attacked you on that, I attacked you on attacking gurdy's opinion. Seriously, don't misread posts. I said you'd be ignorant for thinking you can declare what is professional and call him ignorant and blind for thinking otherwise. Not once did I criticize your opinion whatsoever.

nothing hypocritical nor self contradicting about that :\

Well, when that time comes, I'll discuss it to death... and maybe a little more at it's grave. ;P whatever the project... I'll be watching it. From the shadows...

*Steps into a dark corner in the room and disappears*

*turns on flash light* .....what are you guys all doing in my room... It's friken 3 in the morning... Common guys stop arguing and get out of my room... Some people needs to sleep to you know... *turns off flash light and goes back to bed* (-_-) zzzzzzz.....

*turns on light in your room*

Where I come from. Nobody sleeps. We only wait.

*turns the lights back off and disappears again*

LUMORIA EPISODE TWO! WITH ALL THE WATERFALL ACTION A SUCKER COULD EVER WANT, 100% GUARANTEED SATISFACTION.



*Terms of use: TM does not endorse falling, jumping or intentionally utilizing a waterfall in any of those ways stated. We also cannot assure you that a blitzkrieg of flaming poodles will not arrive at your doorstep after experiencing such amazing watery action. Oh and its a wip lol (new update coming soon!).


More Joshy stuff:





Check out his thread again on polycount for even more pictures!

considering how bad halo 1's waterfalls look (plus virtual waterfalls in general are usually grasty mc nasty), it's very good

Damn those cliffs look awesome

i hope these one can be compared to real life cuz the ones in real life looks amazing!

sexy cutscenes

and sexy encounters too :)

I hope there is a damage effect shaking the screen and playing sounds when we are under the waterfall *HINT*

You guys and your water falls. How many of those did Lumoria episode 1 have? Surely not enough in your opinion.



That effect should be very subtle, but it would be cool to have that. Finally, something would happen when I stand under one.

Agreed, that'd be very cool

Joshy's gettin' there! What do you guys think so far of this assets looks?

As for a hint to what it is: It should have made it into EP1, and if it did, one thing would have a made a bit more sense.

Its sexy.

What kind of covenant stuff is it supposed to be though?

Looking good. I like how it looks. Nice. Nice and (shiny?).
So, because you are remaking episode 1, I have a question for you. Are you going to put that in there? And I'm pretty sure it's going to be in Episode 2, so I'm not going to even ask.

So, is it going to release early, mid, or late march? Tell me so I know what time to adjust my cryogenics tube to. (I have one of those, don't tell anyone though! That's a secret between you and me... and whoever else reads this post)

Once again, thank you.

I personally don't believe the whole march thing...april - may is more realistic, but you never know :)
Covenant asset is looking great Josh! The only thing I'd say at this stage is to lose the Hexagon pattern on it since other H1 covenant vehicles/assets do not have them (noticeably) either.

So, making me wait eh?
A little birdie named Higuy told me (and many others) it would coming out in march. I want this to be out sooner! But don't rush the project. I want to see Lumoria's full potential. If it was rushed, and felt rushed and not completed, well, that would be bad. Too bad. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!
I want to see this project's full potential. And after that video that was posted (with the carpet bomb) I expect many great things in this, including better voice acting.
I know this is gonna be great.

*A wild troll appears.*

Halo meets Portal?

XD

Hey there, soul sister, want to be my... sister?

Anyway, grunts, it was pretty easy to tell if it was you. Go crawl back into mommy's pouch and maybe you'll learn something about not being an idiot.

Looks like somebody doesn't know what the Halo Editing Kit is.

There is nothing wrong with carpet munching.

Looks like someone we know is back.

The one and only?

Try thinking up a better name for a project. It's a game modification to Halo. All it is is that they used the halo editing kit (which is a program used for halo 1 to create singleplayer, along with multiplayer maps) with stock assets, and some custom assets, to create a 2 (to 3) level campaign that, to be honest, is better than any other project currently out there. (The ones with good gameplay don't have voice acting, the ones with good storyline also have no voice acting, the ones with voice acting sometimes have no good gameplay. The teams usually create multiplayer maps, some singleplayer maps that usually never get finished or don't have a storyline, and then there are teams like CMT, who modify origonal ideas to create what they believe is cool, fitting, and atmospheric to the current situation [and although CMT is good, and has made a lot of progress, the team has been creating the same thing again and again, minus the multiplayer. Perhaps if CMT created a custom campaign, then I might hold them in a higher respect]) While it doesn't stand up to anything like a professional project, and while you don't like it, be courtius others and the people around you. They are not getting paid to do this, they are only creating the project for the people who would like to play it. (Along with that excellent feeling when you've created something, which feels like 1000 pounds of stress relieved off of your back within a second. I used to feel it all the time back when I was animating.) So please, before you decide to flame a post, make sure that you take everything into account before saying what you are saying.
You must also remember that they are doing their best with a *10* year old engine. And it's working out pretty well too. Also, the halo editing kit is a ***** to use. Just try it. It will have you screaming in seconds. (My first try I actually threw a hammer at my monitor. Well, both the stress of that, and the fact that it broke, so I said, "Ah, what the hell.")



When it comes to higuy and lodex it is, of course their tiny thingy in their trousers doesn't go up because they don't know what a naked woman looks like.
