After the call of many fans in our forums to look to the future of Point of Existence, the Dev team got together at the Dev shack, which some of you might be familiar with, and has decided it is time to do so and move on. With the success of 2142 and sci-fi shows on TV, PoE has decided to make an alien cartoon mod!

SgtWedge has been hard at work on a new map for the Alien mod. This map is based off a planet far away named Slooflirpa. The map features a brand new space craft and original design. The craft shoots the latest in laser weaponry and even has an easy bake oven for the cosmic warrior constantly on the go.

The new PoE will feature Marvin the Martian and others of your favorite sci-fi series all mixed together. Here is an example of a new player model for the new PoE.

As you can see, much time has been spent on the detail to bring Marvin to life. Next up we have the second player model for the opposing faction along with an in game view of a new pistol for the Martian team.

Well that is all for today?s news, stay tuned next week as SgtWedge does shadow puppets live on streaming PoE, Jilted does his weekly radio show which gives advice on matters of the heart, and Dfast teaches us how to make a healthy salad.

PoE Team Signing Off....

Yes, however they are not player controlled and just randomly fall. We are also working on ultra secret zero gravity maps!

o_O I thought we agreed the new levels would be shot in the Nevada desert or is that something we're supposed to keep within the dev team while telling everyone else they're on another planet???

If he has voice activated weapons, then it could be an advantage.
