Jailbreak: Source - More Dinosaurs!

[Wills]

With only weeks to go until the release of Jailbreak: Source 0.5, the team have thrown up a whole load of shots showing the updates to the previous releases maps. They've also revealed the second Dinosaur and some details about the new "cinematic" executions!

They've also promised that their next media release will reveal details about the biggest change to Jailbreak yet, with the possibility of a trailer!

Games with dinosaurs and stuff like that just never appealed to me, however I can't wait for this mod! It's so sexy.

Just wanted to mention that it was actually a comment made by n00dylan in a previous news post on Interlopers that spurred us on to make more "cinematic" executions, hopefully you'll appreciate the "awe" factor this time buddy!

Can't wait for the release

The maps are letting this mod down... they look like hl1. Whip your level designers into shape, to maintain the standard of quality across the mod!

ok, i've been watching the news updates and all, and this looks to be a very neat mod. but i just gotta ask: why is it called jailbreak? and what's with the dino's vs robots?

i thought the 1st screenshot map looks freakin' SWEET! can't wait to see more!

Your textures have quite alot of tiling spots, or atleast someone of them confuse the eye...
otherwise Dinosaurs vs Robots! thats gotta be right up there on the table of awesome...

I think likening them to HL1 might be reaching a bit, but In what way exactly?

It's called Jailbreak as that's the concept of the mod! Here's the Wikipedia description of the game mode:

Jailbreak Source is built around two teams, each with a jail in their base, when an enemy player is killed, they respawn inside the opposing teams jail, where they can either await release by their own team who are fighting to get to the release button, or escape by their own means, through devious and deadly escape routes. Once the whole enemy team is in jail, the round is won, and the losing team executed in a variety of cruel and unusual ways.

As for your second question! Why the Dinos and Robots? Why not!? It's the ultimate opposite... Technology versus the Prehistoric, two diametrically opposite teams with obvious and recognisable visual characteristics, allowing players to instantly recognise an enemy or a friend at a distance.

Jailbreak has never had a solid grounding in a "theme", and we didn't want to start tying it down to anything by including generic soldiers versus generic "bad" soldiers... Likewise, our environments are not exactly consistent, so we figured, why should the player models be serious?

Hope that helps!

Man, I highly look forward to the release of this update. The MOD is great already and I think this is looking great!

I'm sure its been asked before and I guess I just don't remember quite how it works, but can it now be hosted by Valve so that they do the updates automatically, or is it by invite only?
