#6 - Video...
Hello Brick It Fans! We would like to introduce you to our 6. official news. Again there is a lot of stuff we want to tell you. Among other things we will show you our first video!
Video
Today we celebrate a small premiere. We created the first official Brick It video for you, in which we proudly present some new progress and the assault rifle in-game. Even though the weapon is not yet finished to 100% , it is already completely functioning and can be used for little battles.
Additionally you will see the first big building, or rather, the first big ruins in-game. We hope we can give you a feeling of how BrickIt will "feel".
Church Ruins
Extra to the video, we created some render images, if you want to take a deeper look at the ruins.

Hello Brick It Fans! We would like to introduce you to our 5. official news. Again there is a lot of stuff we want to tell you. Among other things we will talk about our first helicopter, the Mod DB award and our team.
Apache
With the Apache you can reach up to the sky. The first Brick It combat helicopter is armed till the last brick with a MG and a rocket pod. With him you can raise some hell in the air!
The model was created by Busch and rendered by Starforce.

The bridge
Of course there is also something for the eyes for you. You can see a bridge, which is usually used for railway service. With little structural changes it can be used universally though. Canyon, valley or river - with this bridge every obstacle can be overcome. The models and the render pictures are made by our member StarForce.

Reminder
Some of you already used the chance but we are convinced that there still is a bigger interest out there. Therefore we want to advertise our "Fan-of-the-Moment" special (see News #3). You still have the opportunity to become a part of our homepage! Just fill in the forms. To get there just click on the "Fan of the Moment" picture on our webpage or follow this link.
Mapper request!
Meanwhile we already put some stats ingame, so that first maps can be created. However, we are lacking the required manpower! Therefore we are looking for some mappers! It doesn't matters if you are a beginner or a pro. As long as you are familiar with the editor and as you are motivated just report on our forum!
Hello Brick It fans! We would like to welcome you to our 3. official news. Again there is a lot we want to present to you!
New Webserver
Because the our former webpage server was unfortunately only very unregularly reachable, we decided to change the server provider. We hope that our homepage is now constantly and reliably to reach.
Game server tests
We are still in a urgent need for a Crysis server for our beta testing! Only with a server we can test Brick It right and possibly release it someday! Now if anybody had a small test server for our mod it would be really great. I am sure that there would be a way we can say thank you ( even though not in the form of money). Just report on the forum!
Fan of the Moment
Maybe you discovered the "Fan of the Moment" on our Home Page. With this special we give you the opportunity to become a part of our web page! Just fill in the forms. You get to the forms either on clicking on the "Fan of the Moment" Picture on our homepage or with this link. After filling in the forms we will create you a suiting picture.
As an example 3 of our developers already filled them in. Here you can see their examples!
Vegetation and tank traps ...
Step for step we get a little bit closer to our goal to release Brick It. Today we made some render pictures and Ingame-screens of trees, plants and bushes for you. They will give the Brick It maps a little bit of "Nature" ^^. Additionaly we made some pictures of our tank traps. They will block the way for more than one Sherman (see news #2)!
Feedback....
To create a mod is of course a lot of fun for us. But it is even more fun to discuss the development with you. Give us critics, positive as well as negative! We are happy about every feedback we get from you. Just join us in our forum and write what you think! We will definetely not rip your head off!
With this we want to say good bye for this year. We are looking forward to your visits and comments in our forum. Of course we want to wish you a happy new year and a good start in 2009!
