Hey guys,
I know it's been a long time since we had any news so I thought I'd give a quick update:
The new version of GI JOE is VERY close to being finished. I'll explain what is new and what is remaining to be done:
NEW
1) 2 new playable characters - Sgt. Slaughter and General Hawk -thanks to Redhood for spriting these!
2) Snake Eyes new sprites and animations and palette. Again, thanks to Redhood

3) New background additions of Beachhead, Snow-Job by PrimeOp.
4) New Red Shadows mission added, with VAMP driving level too. Baron Ironblood is the final boss for this.
WHAT IS LEFT TO DO
- There is one more stage we need to add to the Red Shadows mission (between the VAMP driving level and the inside of the Red Shadows HQ) -- although you'd never know it was missing if we don't add it.
- Updating the scripts so the mod will run on the recent versions of OpenBOR.
Bloodbane will be doing those last 2 things and then we can release the new version. The other issue is that two years ago Hasbro had Mediafire take down my link and also removed my videos from YouTube. I notice that other people who put videos and download links still have theirs up, so not sure why I was singled out.
Nevertheless, since I got a warning from Mediafire and YouTube I am hesitant to get my accounts suspended and would prefer not to host the download link, which means we need to find another way to release this.
As I said, without updating the scripts, a PAK won't work on the new versions of OpenBOR, but I could release the game as-is (with the one missing level from the Red Shadows mission) and include the version of OpenBOR that the game does run on.
The reason I'd consider doing this is that Bloodbane is very busy trying to finish the D&D game and he might prefer to finish GI JOE after D&D is done. Maybe someone else could help us update the scripts so it'll run on the current verions of OpenBOR.
What do you guys think?
P.S.
Here's the link to the YouTube video that is still up, and has a download link in the video description to the OLD version of the game if anyone wants to check it out. Note that I didn't put this video up, or host the game, I don't know who Idealsoft Blog is but this is the only existing option to check out the game right now:
