Katana is getting closer and closer 23rd February 2004 by Kristian "biXen" Hollund
Katana news and site spitshine Maddieman has updated the Katana section of his site Hell's Kitchen, much because he feels it isn't getting the attention it deserves. If you don't know what Katana is either I'll quote Maddie's summary of what the mod is about. Check out screenshots in Maddie's Katana section of Hell's Kitchen.
"Developed by Maddieman and modding veteran StratonAce, Katana is a story-driven game that draws you into the violent and chaotic world of an Assassin on the run: - from his Order; from the shattered remains of his past; and from the haunting screams of the countless people he's murdered.
Competing for his severed head are the very people he used to work with - Mercenaries, Assassins, Ninja, and good old fashioned Psychopaths. The worst mankind has to offer.
Heavily influenced by popular Japanese Anime and recent movies such as Kill Bill; Katana combines Max Payne's stylish Bullet-Time with stunning, yet brutal, bladed-weapon combat. With help and support from Kenneth Yeung, Katana lifts the Kung Fu 3 engine to new heights and takes the player to a new level of pain ..."
A spitshine and some mod news 9th February 2004 by Kristian "biXen" Hollund
Ruination mod news More news about the mod Ruination by Froz. This turn-based action nugget seems better by the minute. Thanks to Deep Six for the images, the original sources seemed to be missing. You can visit Froz's homepage here.
New level with story
A new mod called Mona Sax: Drug War Ep. 1 has been released in a first part of apparently some kind of series. It's somewhat story-driven and has some hostage rescue mission to it, people seem to like it, I haven't tried it yet myself. But pop on over to Levels 4 You and get it, I'm sure it's worth it. It won't be in my mod overview before I play it myself. Get Mona Sax Drug War Ep. 1 here.
New affiliate
We have a new affiliate, Max Payne Gaming supported by the Edge Network. There you can among other things get the nice looking level Sidney Manor, as with the other file I'll add this to the overviews here when I play it myself. Get the Sidney Manor here at MPGaming.
New Voice-acting contest for Katana 2
StratonAce has put up a new voice-acting contest for the upcoming Katana 2 Max Payne 1 mod. Head on over to his site to get a chance to get your voice in one of the most anticipated mods this year.
New name for the best browser on the net
FireBird changes name to FireFox due to many reasons which can be read in their FAQ. What you should care about though is getting your hands on a browser which has automatic popup stopper, tabbed browsing, fast browsing and everything else you need from a browser. It won't interfere with anything already in your system and it will work with most of the pages out there. Me and many others use it everyday for all our Internet browsing. Do yourself a favour and head over to the FireFox site and check it out.
The monthly update :P 6th February 2004 by Kristian "biXen" Hollund
General news Well after getting some new PC equipment I decided to do reinstalls, so I'm without my imaging software, and I just installed my web publishing software, so this is a reason for the lack of updates. Other than that it's some general changes I need to do here, when to get time for it all. I guess the good news is that I may be the first in the Max Payne community that didn't "accidentally" delete all his amazing modstuff when I did the reinstall ;) So I'll get back to all that soon too, just gotta get all stuff I need onto this PC.
New mods I have updated our mod section with the new stuff worth downloading since our last time, mostly level stuff since I don't care about tweak mods, but if you do Levels 4 You will have them too. But check out the best stuff here.
I'll be back pretty soon with some proper updates, hang in there, the payne will always be with you. There are some cool stuff in the works for Max Payne 2, so do not uninstall it :)
