D.I.P.R.I.P. Warm Up News

As 2008 has come to an end the Moddb.com's Mod of the year Awards nominations voting has now begun.

"From January 2nd to January 16th every indie game and mod on the site has a voting booth activated in their profile. It is now up to you, to find your favorites, play them and vote for them - so we can narrow thousands of contenders down to the players choice top 100..."

Remember to vote for D.I.P.R.I.P. ( http://www.moddb.com/mods/diprip ) and wish us good luck in the voting.

2008 has passed as a year full of success for D.I.P.R.I.P. Our first demo release in March has put us on the modding scene and gathered a lot of positive feedback followed by numerous press reviews and interviews. The innovation and quality delivered by D.I.P.R.I.P. has been recognized by Valve and we were able to Warm Up the modding scene once again in October by delivering D.I.P.R.I.P. Warm Up directly through Steam.

Now we are proud and excited to announce that we have been chosen as the Mod of The Year by Steamfriends.com:

"What at first looked to be a simple take on the classic 'Twisted Metal' quickly gathered speed and became a lot more than a simple re-make. DIPRIP sees players driving huge metal beats around beautifully created landscapes, fending off fellow drivers with bombs, rockets and miniguns while carrying nuclear bombs into the enemy base to create just that little bit more destruction. Featuring its own achievements and packing completely destructable scenery and explosive action, DIPRIP is a hell of a lot of fun and more than deserves our Mod of the Year award..."

The long waited D.I.P.R.I.P. update is coming today. This time we are adding Steam game play statistics which you can view during map loading or from the main menu. As promised we have also released a deathmatch version of the Dam map with some new textures and other graphical improvements. Additionaly to the new map, de_dam, ur_refinery and dm_refinery maps have recieved small game play improvements. On top of all that there is a new achievement "Destroyer of Worlds" which is unlocked after destroying 2000 objects.

Gaming Radio Network has interviewed Pawel Lekki from our development team. If you want to hear first hand about the future plans for D.I.P.R.I.P. the interview will be broadcasted on air twice:
