Community Spotlight #1
Tremulous
Saturday, 21 November 2009 02:03
Welcome to the first Tremulous Community Spotlight! As some of you may already know, Tremulous has a large and enthusiastic community with many talented individuals. If you"re not already a member, join the Tremulous Forums or pop into the IRC channel to be a part of it!

Let"s start this party off with one of my personal favourites, a short story by DeathSkull, "Tremulous: The Harder They Fall". It"s a fast-paced and tense depiction of the war against the alien menace, and well worth a look. Next up is a story by Hendrich, "Ignorance"—hopefully the scientist can figure out what"s going on!

The community also has several skilled modelers, check out "WIP: Alien Model" by Taiyo.uk and {7}wrath"s inspiration for a new tyrant model.

If you haven"t seen any of Ira"s Tremulous movies, take a peek at Spartakus, I am Tremulous Legend, and Tremulous: The Movie.
If you are interested in making your own movies, read Silver"s guide on recording and editing Tremulous videos.

Spice up your desktop with a Tremulous wallpaper! Asvarox, Winnie The Pooh, and Karajus provide some good examples.

If you"re getting bored of the boring old HUD, take a gander at the wide array of alternatives that the community has created in the HUD section of the forums. Some of my favourites are by K-otic, Meisseli, and Volt.

Tremulous has one of the largest and most active mapping communities in the open source world. With hundreds of player created maps, it"s tough to select only a handful for this spotlight, but I consider the following to be excellent representatives of the creativeness and dedication of Tremulous players:

Nano (beta4) by Ingar
BlueDragon by Superpie
UTCS by Chompers
1984b4 by Trak
Sokolov by Lava Croft

Make sure to head over to the Map Release section of the forums for many more awesome maps, which I wish I could list here as well.

Hopefully you"ve enjoyed this brief insight into the Tremulous Community, check this page soon for more news, updates, and spotlights as we gear up for the next release!
