Any mod release from the Black Cat Games team is always big news, especially one using the new engine. NightBlade for Unreal Tournament 3 will feature stealth-based gameplay that pits thieves versus guards. Notes on the alpha release can be seen below:
We've just released our first alpha. This is strictly a work in progress - we make no guarantees about the playability of the release, and we know there are a large number of bugs and missing features. Details on the release can be found on Nightblade's Testing Page.It should be noted that the first time you play each map there will be a long load time as UT3 generates texture information and caches it.
- Some of the notable features of the current alpha are:
- Gullonefox's guard model.
- Converted Darkened Enlightenment
- Experimental silent but slowed opening of doors when walking or crouching.
- Some experimental gameplay changes, including the stashing of loot by entering the exit zones.
