Lionhead har netop annonceret, at deres multiplayer clan patch til PC spillet Black and White, snart er klar. Faktisk så skulle den være klar til download fra d. 13. juli. Patchen vil give fans mulighed for at ændre væsentlige regler i spillet, således at det bliver mere spændende.
For at give fans mulighed for at danne klaner, har Lionhead lavet et mini-site, hvor firmaet fra d. 1. juli tager i mod nyformede klaner. Du kan finde sitet her: Black and White Clan
Her er pressemeddelelsen:
We are pleased to announce that the Multiplayer/Clan patch for Black & White (PC version) will be released for download from www.bwgame.com on July 13th. The patch has been created to thank the online community for it's continued support of Black & White.
The introduction of new winning conditions in this Patch make the games more riotous and makes victory sweeter. The network programmers along with Lionhead's test department came up with and tested a number of different winning conditions. These can be selected by players prior to a game, combined in whatever way they choose and a time limit set for any game.
The implementation of all these factors has made games shorter, intense and more brutal and has certainly given Black & White Multiplayer games a new lease of life. To complement the Patch, a new section of Black & White's website has been designed where players can set up, join or view Clans. This will be found at https://clans.bwgame.com, which will be ready to accept pre-registrations for new Clans at 10am (BST) on 1st July 2002. Please note that registration for Clan names is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Two lucky players stand a chance of winning a top of the range Intel computer on which to thrash their opponents, as Lionhead will be running a competition to mark the launch of the Clan Patch. Intel have donated two powerful multimedia PCs and these will be awarded to whichever Clan and whichever individual has achieved the highest number of credits on 30th August at 5.00pm BST. The other Intel PC will be sent to the leader of the winning Clan.
Members of Black & White Studios and Lionhead will be online with the official company Clans to add to the challenge faced by online players.
