Warfork News

Hello Forkers,

Instead of keeping you waiting longer for other tasks to be completed, we bring you a much needed sounds update.

Changelog:

- All sounds have been replaced. Special thanks to our Sound Engineer: MaxCarnage and Sound Director: Oizo.

Note: Please update your custom soundpacks. Weapons now have additional sound variations.

- New announcer: Toni Jean Erasmus as "AI (Announcer)"
- Reaction Kills have been added, but are disabled by default. They will be enabled when character lore videos + their respective models are in-game. Note: Voice lines are intentionally absurd and seemingly random (for now). They're intended for new comers to spice things up. Special thanks to:

Cat Protano as "Amber"
Ty Anderson as "Buck"
Kevin Liberty as "Hamilton"
James Holyoake as "Rufus"
Su Ling as "Serena"
Matthew Archer as "Leon"

- You can now adjust the volume of your own effort sounds in Options.
- Added unique voice commands for each character.
- Added in-game chat which bridges with our Discord server.
- Cleaned up assets (99.9% less cats and cards).
- Fixed in-game screenshots. You can change the format with: r_screenshot_format (1 => png [default], 2 => jpg, 3 => tga)
- Rekt gametype added.
- Bomb loadout bug fixed.
- Added "official" 32 bit support for Windows\Linux.
- Added OSX 64 bit support and dropped 32 bit support (see: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208436).
- Damage numbers size now saved.
- Fixed damage numbers bug in demos.
- Fixed wctf5 and wfca2.
- Fixed some issues with default.cfg

As we wrap up finalized sounds to replace everything you currently hear in-game we wanted to announce the Warfork VA cast. Our talented VA's have recorded character specific voice commands, kill reactions, round start says, efforts, and more! If you're too impatient to hear them you can try to install the Warfork Testing DLC on Steam and take a peek. A special thanks goes to our Sound Engineer MaxCarnage for making them sound vibrant and Oizo for testing/providing direction to VA's for player effort sounds to achieve our desired result. With that said our VA cast is as follows:

This gives him a great jumping off point to create a multitude of accents, dialects, and character voices.

WHAT'S E1M1 ABOUT?

At E1M1 Magazine, we're addicted to old-school FPS games. From the second we got our hands on the classics at a young age, we were completely hooked – and still over two decades down the line we regularly run through Quake, DOOM and Duke Nukem (among many others) like it's nobody's business.

E1M1 is the culmination of years spent in gaming journalism across a whole host of websites, podcasts, radio shows and magazines. Our writers have years of experience under their belts - e.g. VG Almanac, GamingPurists, RetroFormat, Arcade Attack, Siren Radio, Gameffine, Funstock Retro, and more – and now are aiming to create the go-to source for the classic first-person shooter genre."

Presented by The Keep:

"We've scoured the Earth to bring you the two best Bomb teams we could find who will face off in an epic Best of 5. Warfork is the "world's fastest FPS game" and this will be a showcase of lightning fast game play and expert team skill in a game mode similar to Bomb & Defuse in CS:GO.

Time: 10AM PT / 1PM ET / 7PM CET"
