ModDB Interview!

ModDB's Stenchy and Henley have interviewed two of the Jailbreak Team (Wills and Dogmeat) about the forthcoming release of Jailbreak 0.4! The interview itself starts at 34:30.



It was great fun recording this interview and is a good laugh to listen to, with us explaining the new features, maps and art, along with revealing our plans for Jailbreak 0.5, whilst name checking a few of our beta testers!

Trailer! ModDB Preview!

Henley from ModDB has written a preview of Jailbreak 0.4! And it's insanely positive! You can read the whole thing here: ModDB Review! And as a special present, we can finally reveal... The Jailbreak 0.4 Trailer!



Download higher resolutions versions here:
- Jailbreak Trailer: Quicktime
- Jailbreak Trailer: WMV

Here's a little extract from the preview:
You’re out on the battlefield, you’re dodging RPG’s and bullets trying to flank the enemy and take them by surprise, they were two steps ahead and you find yourself trapped in jail. The clock is ticking you don’t have too much time to run through the crazy mazes of lasers, air vents, and deadly gas. With this high pressure situation creates an urgency that most games lack, it’s both refreshing and engaging enough that there's never a dull moment. Team work is needed but it's not forcefed to you like many games/mods are striving for today.

Twelve New Shots!

Last week, we did an interview with Blink from Interlopers, and it was awesome! It's brought us a whole new bunch of fans and a handful of beta testers (including Blink himself!) We also gave Interlopers a whole bunch of lovely screenshots and weapons for them to show off, and now a week's gone by, we thought we'd post them here, in case you missed them!

Arroyo:







Plague:







As you can see, there's a couple of new weapons in there! The Medigun is our favourite though. Every member of your team carries one, and using it, you can top up each other's health, either after escaping, or after an epic firefight! You can also see the silenced pistol, the railgun scope and the crossbow above!

Interlopers Interview!

The ever-awesome Blink over at Interlopers.net has conducted an immensely fun interview with us over the last week, and we've been gnashing at the bit to tell you all about it... but rather than spoiling the whole thing, we figured we'd wait until it was done! And now it is!!

Apparently I can spawn in jail with a weapon? Explain this lunacy!"

Wills: You can indeed! The "Concealed Weapon" perk allows you to spawn in jail with a silenced pistol. One of the chief concerns about Jailbreak 0.3 was the amount of inmate killing. Unmoralistic guards would stand outside the jail bars and shoot defenceless inmates for fun (and until we patched it, frags). Although frustrating for some players, we found this hilariously funny... We didn't want to simply block all bullets from entering jails... So we decided that inmates should be allowed to fight back!"

Perks, Custom Classes, Rifles and SMGs!

So today, we finally reveal one of the new core features of Jailbreak 0.4, and it's something we're quite proud of! Below you will find six new pictures from last nights beta test, one of which shows off the custom perks selection screen... Look out for the new Rebel Rifle and Rebel SMG too!

Again, for the final week, please be aware that the HUD is still in a temporary state and is being finished up for next week!







So what exactly are perks all about? The concept is simple: You earn points, as explained last week, and using these points you can buy one of twelve perks, combining these perks together creates a custom class... So, you wanna be an double jumping medic? You can! Invisible and accurate heavy weapons guy? Check. Want to spawn in Jail with a weapon? No problem.

Balance issues you say? Each perk is seperated into levels, only attainable by gaining more points, and only one perk is allowed per level. Alongside this each perk is balanced to provide a defence or offence against another perk. So if the enemy team are using Stealth; buy Awareness and you can see them! Problem solved.

Iridium! Railguns! NPMT Devices?

The countdown to the release of Jailbreak 0.4 continues today with six new in game shots of Iridium, once again from our Wednesday night beta test. You can also see three more of our new weapons; the Combine Pistol, the Railgun (!) and the Non-Propelling Matter Transport Device (!?).

Again, please be aware that the HUD is still in a temporary state and is being finished up as we write!







This week we're also revealing one of the new core features: Point Scoring! Aswell as frags for kills, players now recieve points based on their actions during the round. If you're a natural defender, you'll recieve bonus points for fragging enemies near the release button. If you're a talented escape artist, then you'll get points for breaking out! Likewise, releasing your team mates earns you two points per team member released!

The team can also recieve round bonuses for impressive feats, such as the whole of your team avoiding jail for the entire round. There's many, many more ways to gain points, meaning that it doesn't matter if you're no good at shooting straight, just play as the role you're most comfortable within your team and earn points for doing so! Next week, you'll find out what you can spend these points on...

The Final Countdown!

Today we begin the final countdown to the release of Jailbreak 0.4! But! We're not going to tell you how long that is just yet, suffice to say, it won't be long!

To kick this off, we've released six pictures taken during the awesome beta test last night. Please be aware that the HUD is currently temporary and is being developed as we write!







The pictures show the newly updated Metropolis and three of the new weapons included in the next release: the Chaingun, The Combine SMG and The Laser Cleaver (plus a few more if you look hard!)! Stay tuned for more new pictures, weapons, models and features next week!

Merry Christmas!

It's CHRISTMAASSSSSS! (Nearly!)... Happy Christmas to all you Jailbreakers! We're all taking a short break to enjoy Christmas with our families, so from the Jailbreak team, a big Merry Christmas to one and all...

So here's hoping Santa brings you lots of nice gaming pressies! (Just don't forget about Jailbreak whilst you're playing the Orange Box/Crysis/UT3!)

Ooops!

Due to a somewhat large mistake, a mass e-mail went out today to all our forum members. This email contained a link to the current build of Jailbreak 0.4. Fortunately we found out very swiftly, and were able to change the link and send out a second email explaining things!

So, if you were one of the lucky few to download the current build of Jailbreak, feel free to try it out and post some comments on our forums, we'd love to hear what you have to say, and also, feel free to come test with us... but PLEASE don't upload it anywhere and start distributing it!

The current version has the majority of our new features, maps, models, textures etc in it, but it IS buggy and we've still got a LOT of work to do! So this isn't a good representation of our final product... but it IS FREAKING AWESOME right now!

So yes, feel lucky if you have it, but please don't leak it any further, we love you Jailbreak fans, we wouldn't like to see our hardwork get out of hands!

Saturday Night? Jailbreak Night!

That's right... Saturday's are no longer called Saturday, they're called Jailbreakday's! OK, daft joke over. Jailbreak Game Night is back by popular demand, and conviently as stated below we have a lovely server to play on (provided by UberMensch from The Shady's).

So tonight from 7pm GMT (UK Time), Game Nights will start all over again! Every Saturday from now on till the release of Jailbreak 0.4 will be Game Night, and us JB Dev types will try to make it too!

Your best bet to keep track of game night and play with as many people as possible, is to join our Jailbreak Steam Community. We look forward to seeing you there!

Posted at 11:52 on 12/09/07 | Comment on this!

New Server! Game Night's Back!

Well this is rather nice! A chap called UberMensch has put up a very powerful 16 player server for Jailbreak! I've been getting a lot of e-mails recently from people complaining that they'd downloaded our mod, but had no-one to play with and nowhere to play! Well, from now on, despite the fact that we should be trying to get on with releasing Jailbreak 0.4, we're going to try and re-introduce Game Night!

Jailbreak is mad fun, and is even better on a full server, especially one as lag free and fast as this one, so go join the server (named JailbreakSource.com - Official Server) and get playing... once we figure it out, we'll put up the dates and times that Game Nights will be taking place on, but to be absolutely sure you don't miss one, join our Jailbreak Steam Community to get announcements and reminders straight to your desktop!

Vote for us! Mod of the Year!

It's that time of year again when ModDB open up their Mod of the Year Awards! We only began developing Jailbreak less than a year ago, so this is the first time that we can enter... so all you Jailbreak fans out there, get voting for us!



We'd be so excited if we won, we might even do something special!

Posted at 11:52 on 12/09/07

Beta Testers & Lost E-Mails!

A very nice chap e-mailed me last night, suggesting we put up a Jobs section on our contact page! I thought this was a damn fine idea, so I have... but there's no jobs up for grabs right now!

Apart from Beta Testing that is! The trouble is, this chap also requested to join the beta team, and in a moment of madness, I deleted his email address... so if you're still out there (Dan?)... Join the forums, and we'll sign you up!

The same goes for anyone else! We need a few more beta testers for our regular Wednesday evening beta tests (and the rest of the week too, when necessary!). So, JOIN UP!

We aten't dead! Beta Testers!

Good day to all you Jailbreakers! I just wanted to post a quick message to say "We aten't dead!".

We apologise for the almost complete news blackout recently, but its for a reason! We've been working absurdly hard to bring you the next version of Jailbreak, so hard in fact, that despite the next version being called "Jailbreak 0.4", it's really "Jailbreak 0.8" as we've ended up bunging nearly all the planned future features into this one!

Beta testing has been going extremely well, with several of core the features in and mostly functional, and all eight of the maps finished and going through the tweaking stage. We've also been reworking some of the original four maps to bring them inline with the quality of the new four.

Weapons wise, we've completed half of them and the other half are being worked on right now! We've got a new HUD, all new sounds, all new graphics... It's almost a whole new mod!

So... why no media? Well... our plan is to wait until we have a 95% complete version of the mod and then start releasing the media in stages leading up to the release, to ensure that we get maximum exposure and effect! So within a few weeks we will start releasing media updates on a weekly basis. So, we apologise for the blackout, but that will all end soon!

Finally.. WE NEED MORE BETA TESTERS! So if you are up for joining the beta team, and checking out all the new features right now! Then express an interest on the forums or PM / E-Mail the team! We beta test every Wednesday from 7:30PM GMT. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

New Map! New Game Mode: Iridium

Today we continue the build up to the release of Jailbreak 0.4 with four new pictures from IZaNaGI's new map, Iridium. The map is set on space-ship, in the middle of an epic space battle, with the damaged ship under attack from Combine forces as the Rebels attempt to regain control.





UPDATED: After some constructive criticism from the chaps over at Interlopers, IZaNaGI elected to redo the lighting in Iridium to create a greater contrast and bring out some more of the incredible architecture.

So what's different about this map you ask? An entirely new game mode, that's what! Instead of straight forward Jailbreak, this new map revolves around rescuing your teams VIP. At the start of each round, one team member is randomly selected from each team and placed in Jail, the goal of the map is to break that team member out of jail, and return them safely to the rescue zone.

The round is won either by rescuing your VIP or by jailing the entire opposing team. The VIPs can only use miminal weaponry, and are extremely vulnerable to attack, so once they are out, they need a full bodyguard unit to bring them back safely. And yes, the VIP can escape jail all by themselves!

New Map: Plague

It has begun... Today we start the build up to Jailbreak 0.4, and to kick things off we bring you four new shots of one of the new 0.4 maps... Plague.

Plague is set in an Elizabethan period town somewhere in England, recently struck by The Black Plague. The map includes a theatre, an old church, a castle and an asylum, with many enterable buildings, and plenty of scares to keep you on your toes... trust us, escaping from the asylum will be as scary as it is difficult!





Beta testing of Jailbreak 0.4 has now begun, and if you're a beta tester (join up on our forums) you'll know just how different 0.4 will be from 0.3... to that end we've decided to start drip feeding information to our fans, explaining a new aspect of 0.4 each week up until release. So this week: Point Scoring.

In the next release we have implemented a complete new point scoring system... no longer will simply killing the enemy gain you maximum points, you need to be good at Jailbreak to win! For example: Escaping from jail will give you bonus points, conversely, as a member of the enemy team, stopping players escaping jail will give you bonus points.

Enjoy defending the release button? Well now you can gain points for that too! Kill an enemy player about to hit your release switch and its points heaven for you. There's also rewards for avoiding executions, speed bonuses, staying out jail bonuses and a whole host more. The base concept is to reward players who choose to engage fully in the Jailbreak gaming experience.

Stick around, because pretty soon... we'll be telling you what you can do with those points! Look out for shots of IZaNaGI's new map "Iridium" too!

Arroyo is born!

Our new mapper IZaNaGI has at last revealed his creation to the world entitled... Arroyo. This new map for Jailbreak will be as large if not bigger than Woodneck and Madesco, and is another totally new style and direction for JB, as we move further away from the HL2 Universe!





The map itself is still a work-in-progress, with completion aimed at around two weeks away! So if you're one of our beta testers, or you want to be... get onto the forums and announce your intentions, and very soon you'll be able to play both Arroyo and DeepCore in the beta version of Jailbreak Version 0.4!

New Website and More Media!

Welcome to our new look website, redesigned in a mere 24 hours by our resident mapper Wills! Speaking of Wills, and Mapping, looky down below to find some rather nice pictures of his new Jailbreak map "DeepCore".





The map is set deep underwater, inside the Marine Biological & Ecological Research Facility, codenamed "DeepCore". The atmosphere and style of this map is very unique, especially for Jailbreak, and damn, is it fun to play in testing, with more defendable bases than the current four maps, forcing players to think much more tactically and use teamwork more effectively.

Version 0.4 Media Update!

Izanagi, our newest Inmate, mapper and texturiser extraordinaire has been hard at work proving his worth... and proved his worth he has! Below you can catch the first glimpse of some of the new content, currently being incorporated into Jailbreak Version 0.4!

Jailbreak Steam Community!

Well, Valve have knocked us sideways once again, by releasing the Steam Community addition (in beta form), to us Steam users. So without wasting anytime, Asskicker has already set us up our very own Steam Community group:

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Jailbreak

It's early days yet, but it seems like an amazing addition to an already brilliant platform, keeping track of your statistics, games and groups... and allowing you to find and talk to new friends! So if you want to join, open Steam, go to File; Settings and select Steam Community Beta from the beta participation section.

Done all that? Then come join our group, where you'll be kept up to date with the latest Jailbreak events and news, find players to play with, see a list of scheduled games, and chat with us in the Jailbreak chatroom!

In other news, beta testing of 0.4 begins this Friday (if all goes well), so in the coming weeks you'll start to see more media, some in game footage and at some point soon Jailbreak 0.4 itself!

Welcome Azelito!

Another many weeks of searching, and a couple more just for good measure, we have finally found, and can reveal our newest (and most likely last) team member: Azelito!

Azelito has already been hard at work, creating several new weapon modellers for you lucky Jailbreakers to kill each other with, which in due course we will be revealing to the public at large! So look out for them soon! In the meantime, I want everyone to welcome Azelito warmly and with open arms, his work is amazing and he'll be a great asset to Jailbreak and our team!

Beta testing has now begun in earnest, with both DeepCore and Arroyo now several beta versions along the line, and work has begun on another map, details of which will also be revealed soon!

Tonight is Game Night!

Don't forget that tonight (Saturday 30th) from around 8pm is Game Night II. So be sure to join the dev's and hardcore fans on our UK server!

Considering the success of the first Game Night, we're going to add a whole extra day, so Wednesday nights from 7pm will also be Game Night from now on! Gazz has been extremely helpful, putting together a timetable for the next few weeks of Game Nights, so mark them in your calendar below:

Sat: 30/06/07 - 19:00 to 22:00
Wed: 04/07/07 - 21:00 onwards
Sat: 07/07/07 - 19:00 to 22:00
Wed: 11/07/07 - 21:00 onwards
Sat: 14/07/07 - 19:00 to 22:00

Also, tonight I'll be recording a few demo's of the matches in action, and using some of the footage to start working on the Jailbreak 0.4 trailer, so if you wanna be in the trailer, make sure you get in on the action! See you in the server, and make sure to watch out for winters trip mines!

Community Maps for Jailbreak?

Fancy mapping for Jailbreak? Then you'll need to check out our new mapping section! We've rewritten the entity guide, with all the new information about the entities included in the current FGD file, and explanations on how to use them, along with a complete example VMF file!

We've also created a new community mapping section showing off some of the rather lovely works-in-progress currently in development by several of our forum members. Check out some of the pictures below, courtesy of zero and Storm!




So if you wanna get mapping for Jailbreak, it couldn't be easier, and if you ever need any help, just ask on our mapping forums!

Game Night: Round 1 = Success!

A big thanks to everyone who helped make the first Game Night a success! The server was full for nearly four hours straight, and an awesome time was had by all. There was a few hiccups with getting us three devs on all at the same time, but in the end it worked out great!

Sixteen player Jailbreak is absolutely mindblowing fun, and it was good to see everyone using well thought out tactics, and good teamwork... with players such as Zero and Minerko saving my skin on more than one occasion!

So yes, a massive thank you, and I can only apologise for forgetting to take screenshots, as I was just so absorbed by the fun! So on that note, if anyone else has screenshots taken last night, e-mail them to us, or post them in this thread on the forum and we'll get them up on the front page!

So, on that note...

Game Night: Round 2 will be back next Saturday from 7pm - 10pm

Look forward to seeing you all in there!

In other news, I'm going to get off my lazy backside and finish the Articles section this week, with a new and up-to-date mapping guide along with a section devoted to third party maps!

And as a final update, we've been heavily discussing and debating what exactly we are intending to include in Jailbreak 0.4, and we seem pretty set at last, so you should begin to see new developments very soon!

Posted at 12:50 on 24/06/07 | Comment on this!

We're in The Zone! We're in The Zone!

Forgive us for dancing around like Ritalin deprived Baboons, but we're rather excited... you see, the tome of all that is gaming: PC Zone, have printed a rather lovely half page spread all about Jailbreak! Check out the scan below!



Now isn't that awesome? A tangible printed article (smell the paper!) is rather refreshing, and makes us feel all giggly and fuzzy in our squishy bits.

So here's to you PC Zone and your awesome staff writers... hopefully in a few months time, once our new features are in and functioning, you can return once more unto the fold, and print us giggly all over again... not that we're greedy or nothing!

Weekly Jailbreak Game Nights!

With the rapidly increasing popularity of Jailbreak, Gazz from our forums has put forward the idea of a Game Night, so I'll let Gazz take over from here:

To start with I propose these Jailbreaking sessions should be arranged on a weekend day, in the evening. Perhaps at two separate times for two time zones (GMT and GMT-5).

I will tentatively set the first date and time for people to meet up and play as follows:

Date: Saturday 23rd June
Time: 19:00 (GMT)
Server: 77.74.199.112:24016 (LoPingNoLag.co.uk | Jailbreak!)

After the first attempt, all posts and feedback will be noted and the next session will be the week following, but the time and actual day may be altered depending on the majority vote rule!

The best bit is all the developers of Jailbreak will be there (assuming there is space for us!), so you'll get to shoot/chat or imprison us as much as you like!

Introducing: IZaNaGI

A big welcome and a raucous round of applause is in order to introduce our new mapper... IZaNaGI!

Rob, as he's otherwise known, will be bringing some new blood and a touch of originality to Jailbreak, with his unique and dazzling mapping style. You can check out his portfolio of work below, from pictures to full downloads:

IZaNaGI's Portfolio

One of the chief issues with Jailbreak in it's current form is that although people love the maps (thank you!), they're fairly standard fair, with their liberal use of HL2 textures! Well don't say we don't listen, the next few maps for JB will certainly be different in style, with a slightly futuristic edge.

Anyway, it's not all over yet! Despite IZaNaGI's multiple-talents (mapper, texture artist, skinner and model-dabbler), we're still on the search for a talented and professional modeller/animator/skinner... so if you're out there, get in touch with us here: team@jailbreaksource.com

Over the next few weeks you should start to see some new media popping up here as development begins to roll inexorably forward on version 0.4, so keep your eyes peeled!

Posted at 22:03 on 25/05/07

Jailbreak 0.3.1 Released!

You read it right! Jailbreak 0.3.1 is OUT! Man, we're just churning these babies out at a rate of knots! This version is essentially an update fixing all the bugs, exploits and glitches found in Version 0.3. So, what are you waiting for? Get it from one of the mirrors below:

Once you've got it, be sure to join us on our UK server!
