## SHADOW WARRIOR DEVELOPMENT - OCTOBER 1996

#### Update: 10/21/96

Ken Silverman completed his trip and bid adieu to the Apogee offices. Ken helped out greatly with the network code and with a multitude of other small issues. Thanks for your help Ken.

Good things are happening on the modeling and music front. Maps have also been going well. Eric has not been feeling to well lately and we all hope he gets better soon.

#### Update: 10/14/96

Ken Silverman is in town helping Frank update network code and helping with general problems. Maps are going good with Jim, Eric, Randy, and Stephen working on them. Randy just picked up the Plax map. Stephen is working on Dozer and it is coming along very well. Jim is very close to "done" with 2 shareware maps and is working on a 3rd. Lee Jackson has done two awesome new songs. They are so good I'd like to get a CD of Shadow Warrior songs when the game is over. Chuck is working on the model of our "Evil" enemy ninja. Can't wait to see that!

The young Kenneth did prove to be a worthy ping pong opponent but alas fell, and fell hard, to the Frank Spank(tm). Recently the Frank Spank(tm) has gained sentience. This thing has grown larger than Frank and he is now but a pawn to it. While it is true that absolute power corrupts absolutely, the Frank Spank(tm) corrupts "even more absolutely". Perhaps the near future holds an X-files or Seinfeld episode about this?

Great stuff continues on the game with more cool map work on the all the maps. Eric is working on a top secret level when he's not finishing up some of his more completed maps. Programming is going quite well with a lot of new things for the mappers to try out. Lee Jackson has taken our sound and music over and has started to add his touches. The first song I heard from him was excellent.

New toy alert! Allen has a plethora of new toys. Three are very musical. A low rider truck that plays a funky hip-hop tune. A guitar that wails heavy metal. A mega-phone voice distorter with special effects such as scratching and guitar licks. A few more of these toys and we could easily start a world tour. Rounding out the toy list for this month is a small remote controlled car that goes 100 mph scale whose purchase was inspired by the Nissan "You Really Got Me" commercial. BTW, what the heck is up with Van Halen? Gary Cherone?
