If i had a .dts shape, yes, i could do it.

How in Marble blast did you do that? *speechless* *insert comment on how awesome this looks because one cannot describe it here*

I really don't know what to say... sorry for lack of anything more intelligent.

Very nice. I really love that last level's design; how did you make those trees? I'm guessing they're DTS models? Nonetheless, they're perfect! Those flower decorations are just outstanding as well. Great work PQ team!
I love you, but your attitude is like that of a shrew. Your options? Take a pill or be my kill. Might I suggest that you wear a vest. Perish in class or be banished to the land of bluegrass, where dreams don't exist as you'll be eternally pissed.

Trees are dts, because that is impossible in constructor or quark

I agree with TW PQ has a nice natural feel to it w/ trees and flowers.

Needs diffraction, refraction, and reflection shaders.

Then I will be impressed.

But until then...

Why don't you join PQ staff and make the water for us, then?

Honestly, I love all these changes, but I certainly hope there will be lots of levels that are like the old MB. There's something to be said for nostalgia, IMO...

EDIT: Whoa, I can't believe that nobody noticed this: In the video, the timer is counting down instead of up! I wonder what happens when it reaches 0?
QuArK is still a good map editor

You know what's boring? Opaque marble skins. You know what's not? Glass Marbles!

Did you miss the top left corner? I think it's fairly straightforward..

wow! after a year of not playing Marble Blast it seems to be worth waiting for this to released .
I personally think the graphics of the trees and fences could be better modelled.. hmm..

We could, if someone would: hack the engine, Update the game engine, port all things to new engine, make so that it wouldn't be illegal and there wouldn't be any lawsuits, make all shapes colada, get some very talented shape artist. Tadaa. Either way impossible and also realistic trees wouldn't fit the game.
Some guy that does DTS shapes and levels.

AWESOME time HINT : When making PQ level place your custom interiors and textures in platinum/data/interiors_pq/custom
makes life easier for you and everyone else :)

I'm thinking that the graphics of the trees could be slightly better, and the fences are pointy instead of round along the top

I don't think criticizing them is really appropriate at this time, they have probably spent hundreds of hours already working on this, and they have cannons, ice shards, and water.

I am sure PQ has much more than that mbgaddict. Thats actually kinda offensive to seizure

I am sure they have more. And you can't assume that seizure is doing all the work, who made the .dts, who made the texture, who planned it all. Seizure couldn't have done that all by himself. Give some credit to the guys who didn't write the script
