Thursday the 13th. Unlucky for some.
But lucky for you and me, cause today I got the last of the bug reports I've been waiting on, squashed them all, and Eternal X Final Candidate (the first and hopefully only) is now available for download!
For those not familiar with development terminology, a "final candidate" release basically means "we think it's done, but please help us double and triple check just in case, before we actually say 'it's done'." So this is the complete version of Eternal, epilogue and all, the whole thing, and bug free as far as I know... but please check it out and let me know one last time if there's anything that really needs fixing before I call it "done".
Download it now* from http://eternal.bungie.org/
*(actually please wait until about 2PM Pacific time, as it's still uploading)
New in Eternal X Final Candidate:
- Many bugs have been squashed.
- The epilogue terminal and final screen are in place.
- All five texture sets have been tweaked and polished even more.
- All textures are now in DDS format for faster load times.
- Low res (software more) textures are now tolerable.
- Some of the weapon graphics have been improved or replaced.
- Now featuring the music of Nick Singer alongside that of Craig Hardgrove.
- There's a special musical surprise from Craig near the very end of the game.
