Thought LMS was finished? Guess again! We have lots of updates for you including the possibility of a major improvement coming to your Doom 3 Coop experience!

We first would like to give a massive congratulations to AO! He now works at Slash Damage working on Quake Wars! If I had a hat it would certainly be off for this great Coder, Team Member and GDC companion. You can read more about that here.

In addition thanks to The Master the Last Man Standing theme is now playable on Guitar Hero! We hope to have the files out to you soon but if you want a taste of it in action, check out the video!

And finally there is some behind the scenes work happening at LMS. I don't want to give it away in case it doesn't end up turning out how we expect, but if it does happen your Doom 3 Coop experience will be significantly improved :) In honor of this we are going to be releasing a video of LMS Doom 3 Coop action every day for the next two months. The final one will feature a special surprise :D They will be featured here daily.

Enjoy our first video as it includes something never seen yet in Doom 3, battle across water! Be sure to check back frequently at http://Doom3Coop.com as we will have more updates on LMS including on the upcoming mappack :D Also check out Kids.platinumarts.net for our free 3D Game Design tool. There is an RPG soon in the works ;D Take care and thanks for your interest in Last Man Standing!

Written by Mike

Saturday, 05 July 2008

Here is the Platinum Arts Sandbox Beta 2.2.0 Release :) For anyone who is unfamiliar with Sandbox, here is a bit about it:
"Sandbox is a game design tool based on the Cube 2 engine that allows users to quickly and easily create and edit their own worlds in game, even cooperatively. It is free, open source, and easy to use for Kids and Adults."

Here are just some of the goodies included in Sandbox Beta 2.2.0

* New Maps - Save The Princess (3D Platformer with speed boost power ups!), Forest
* New Quests - Apple Picking on Village, and rescuing the princess on Save The Princess
* New Cloud Options - Now clouds can be added that scroll above the landscape! Height can even be adjusted. Also the Skybox can rotate making the clouds appear to move.
* New easy to use Sandbox launcher thanks to James "ZKAT8IT" Burns, check his site!
* New Characters can be added - Now characters and animals such as bears can be added!
* Numerous menu changes and enhancements - Menus have been tweaked to improve ease of use and they can also be customized for color, font, etc.
* Basic Multilingual Support - WE NEED TRANSLATORS!! Please see here for more information!
* Available now in English, Dutch (thanks Ben 'gamshobny' Tilma!), and Swedish (thanks Lucas Orsvärn!).
* Editing made even easier!! Can change flying speed by using + and - keys!
* Many Graphical Enhancements - Many map updates, nicer looking waterfalls, rain, scrolling clouds, some redone textures, etc.
* Numerous bug fixes and features added "under the hood".
* Improved Jukebox and Musicpack implementation that will give the top online slots a run for their money. Online casino sites can take note of what a real game should be like.
* New Music and a lilypad model!
* And MANY more! (really there are lots!!)
NOTE: If your old maps look strange in this new version, please type /remip in the console!!

Platinum Arts 2.2.0 Download NOTE: If you download the Fileplanet version, or already have you need this easy to install patch

Thanks for your interest, and I hope you enjoy it!! A special thanks to Hirato who really has been the hero of this release and has advanced Sandbox so far.
