Subject: Matt's Halo Update Date: Fri, 1 Jun 2001 18:06:07 -0700 x-sender: matt@mail.bungie.com From: Matt Soell <matt@bungie.com> To: <halo@bungie.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 June 1, 2001 Both Peter and Jason celebrated a birthday today, which only added to the chaos, but I'm taking a breather from the non-stop party that is Halo's Development Cycle to bring you these teasing tidbits of trivia: - Stephen is reworking the flamethrower animation and working out animations for one of the other weapons added last week. - Chucky has beaten the pathfinding code into a nearly-final state. - Matt Segur did lots of sound stuff for Marty and Jay. - Marty and Jay, thrilled with their new powers, spent the week placing ambient sounds and looping music tracks - new music, as yet unheard outside the Bungie offices. They also have Doppler shifts working. - Cortana has these nifty light patterns that ripple over her body. - The Mighty Chris Butcher has done the work necessary for AIs to fight in midair. He's also created a bunch of tools for Jaime to use when populating the human ship and assigning behaviors to its inhabitants. - Jaime is halfway done with the training level. - John is busy dealing with some control issues and working with the Sin-O-MatiXXX team to get a final list of all the mission-specific cutscenes. - Bernie put in a new lens flare that I have not seen but have heard wondrous things about. - Detail objects are back in the game. - The tank is back in, too.
