First a big thanks from all those of you we fooled with our little April fools charade

As you may have guessed we were pulling your leg and although VGS is considering a Cryengine based game it is going to have nothing to do with this mod
For now you Steam/Valve fanboys can be happy that TLS will be exclusive to the Source Engine

Now on to the real news.
With the constant threat of up and coming exams breathing down the necks of so many VGS team members at the moment scrounging some news without giving too much away has been a difficult task. Many thanks to MajorC4 Brechtos and Instinct who gave me a hand.

Today we are paying a visit to Abydos the first planet stepped upon by members of the SGC after Daniel Jackson first discovered the key to activating the Stargate "It was right in front of us the whole time!"

Our wonderful Brechtos has done a marvelous job on the lighting and has really captured the mood and drama of the place using his awesome talent to really squeeze the most out of the source engine to produce some epic stuff. But enough of me telling you about it see for yourself.






Well thats about it folks, sorry it took so long and sorry also that until all the exams are over i can not promise as regular news updates as you may be used to under our new regime. We will of course do our best and keep the content flowing out of our little worker bee fingers to bring you the total Stargate experience for source engine as soon as possible.

Cheers everyone

Secondly, we had some feedback about a month ago on our Tollana update asking about a Tollan style gate. We have had some time to work on it and it is here is the beginnings for you to see:







There is also a short video demonstrations of a new effect for the Transporter Rings, you can now see the light *glow* through the gaps in the Rings, this is still work in progress so please make comments so we can improve!
