Where is the Overman's vagina? 

[kharnov]

Yes.

WIP new male soldier (he doesn't have hair yet) next to the upcoming, finished female soldier:

Is it just me, or does the eye on the Overmind look a bit too mechanical?  Maybe give it a pupil?  I dunno.

[kharnov]

A pupil wouldn't show up as well with bloom on.

I actually like the progress that Unvanquished is doing.  Some may say it is dead like Tremulous, but it seems that Unvanquished is constantly updating something.

[kharnov]

It's not "dead", it hasn't been born yet. Wait until beta within the coming year. Then you can make that judgment.

[kharnov]

The blaster isn't a hitscan weapon, we have other plans for it. However, the pistol will be one.
