i had to cage it, its too dangerous. but its sorta cute :D .

For this week's update, we've got another set of trading card images to take a look at. The focus of our most recent achievement update, the Pyro is a character that players may have seeing a lot of lately - making life a nightmare inferno for both the Spy and Medic.

One of the things we hope to do on this blog is to point out the creative things that members of the TF2 community are up to. The Steampowered TF2 forum members have been collecting links ever since TF2 was released, and you can take a look at the list (and its accompanying 46-pages-so-far (!) forum thread)here.

Feed your yoshi a blue shell. Now.

I needed a big cage to capture it in!

Well, we were expecting some response to A Heavy Problem, but we severely underestimated just how much interest everyone had in contributing. If you're one of the many folks who emailed us proposals and haven't received a response, please accept our apologies, because there's just too many for us to reply to all of them. From the large amount of feedback and forum activity, it's clear that many of you found this interesting, so we'll definitely be posting more design goals. For those of you still thinking about it, here are some more tools to use in evaluating ideas:

This one was HARD to capture. It kept slicing through my hi-technical nerr-cages with some huge-ass sword.
And me, but that's beside the point. The point is that she's here, and I'm here, perfectly fine, if you consider bleeding out of 7 places, hundreds of stitches and dismembered limbs perfectly fine!
I also heard she has a partner. I'm trying to track that one down, too. :shifty:

To continue from the previous week, today we have some additional finished trading card images for you to take a look at - the Heavy and the Medic.

As Gabe mentioned in his lengthy response to an email recently, the next class pack will focus on the Heavy. For the Medic and Pyro packs we kept our goals for the pack pretty close to our chest, but for the Heavy we've decided to open up the process a little.

HERE IS A UNICORN, I AM TYPING IN BIG RED TEXT ALL OF A SUDDEN. I WILL DEGRADE YOUR COMPUSURE WITH MY FLAUTING COCK BECAUSE YOU WILL DENY MY COCK BUT MY COCK WILL NOT DENY ANY OF YOUR HOLES AND I WILL ACCEPT MY COCK INTO YOUR HOLE FORCEFULLY OR PASSIVELY ACCEPTINGLY AND YOU WILL LOVE IT AND THEN YOU WILL TAKE A 3 HOUR SHOWER JUST TO GET ALL OF MY CLIMAX LIQUIDS OUT OF YOUR VISIBLE CAVITIES AND YOU WILL NOT PRESS CHARGES.

 

HAVE A NICE DAY, STAY FROSTY BUMPER MCBUMPER*crag*S.

It seemed pretty angry, it kept trying to ram me, and it had a grenade launcher. Lets not forget those missiles on its wings.

IT TRIED TO ESCAPE MY NET BY CUTTING IT BUT SINCE MY NET'S BEEN EMO I MADE IT CUT PROOF.

During the development process with most of our games, we end up creating content that, for a variety of reasons, may never see the light of day. Sometimes we may not have the time to bring the content to finish, sometimes we use them as a company-only experiment, and sometimes the content just isn't in line with what we're doing at the time. Needless to say, there's a fair bit of cool stuff that we've never been able to share with our fans. We're happy to say that this blog has now given us a unique format in which to share some of the unused artwork with you.

Because Red Bull gave him wings! Now he's in a cage.

...Ain't it a beauty?

In any game there's often a bunch of hidden complexity behind some of the simplest looking features, and TF2 is no exception. One example is that of the Medic's medigun. From a player perspective, it appears simple enough: point it at a team mate, press the button, and it'll heal them. After playing with a bit, most players notice that they have to stay near their target and maintain line-of-sight to their target. After playing with it a lot, some players notice that there's some variability in the rate at which they heal their targets. I thought it might be interesting for Medics to explain what's going on here, and why.

Anything with wings counts, but this thing... I'm not even sure what it is.
