Team EH plans for Quakecon 2008:
Some of us are planning on attending Quakecon 2008 so if you are going, post in the comments to let us know. We would love to have any fans and friends to come hang out and sit with us in the BYOC, if we can find enough space. We met some of team AFZ last year (pictures) and we are going to try and sit together in the BYOC this year and do some gaming, partying, game of ass grab and who knows what else.
Feedback! We want it!

First week download numbers are in and it’s a shocking ~8464 downloads. With EH2 we saw just a little above 5,000 in the first week. Perhaps we should all get wasted and try to do some tricking to celebrate? No? Could make for some funny bloopers for EH4. Anyways thanks guys for all the downloads and comments!
Downloads by week
- ~8,464 First Week

We’ve got EH3 in our hands yesterday evening and we’ve been going non stop into the night working on getting things ready to release in time. All version have been rendered but we still have to get some small stuff done and upload to our mirrors.
Torrent Version - Idea
We’ve been talking about giving people an early release of the EH3 HQ version if they would help seed the EH3 HQ version torrent. If this is something you might be interested in please come idle in #tricking_eh on etg and message me “sp4rky” to let me know you are interested.
Release
As for when it’s all going public, hopefully early Thursday morning but if not it will be Thursday at some point. It may also not hurt to be in our IRC chan if we start to feel like passing out early private versions. ;D
Mirrors, Uploads & News
We are planning to upload to QuakeUnity.com, Filefront.com if you have any recommendations for other mirrors please post in the comments. GeeVee.com YouTube.com, Vimeo.com, Viddler.com online steaming sites will get EH3 but this may take a few days. Right now we are more concerned about using our bandwidth to get EH3 Hq, Mq, and Lq versions up asap.
We will also be hitting up community websites with news and links to EH3. On our radar is Own-Age.com, ESReality.com, QuakeUnity.com. Again if you have any recommendations please let us know in the comments.

EH3 is so close I can taste it.
Happy New Year to everyone!
To bring in the new year we’ve given the website a much needed face lift. However I’m sure there is still some bugs to work out and what not, so let us know if you notice anything broken and we will get our surgeons on it. If you haven’t been here in awhile, check out the old site in the picture on the left.
I know you all will ask about the status of EH3 so here is the latest.
Unless a meteor rains down on Ebola or his computer EH3 will be ready to go this month. I can’t imagine EH3 not getting released this month but if it doesn’t I’ll be sure to let Ebola know you guys have your torches and pitch forks ready. We are just as eager as you all are so if it gets to that point we will bring the torches.
I’ll try to get some screenshots from him to tie us all over in the meantime.
Update:
Here are some new screenshots:

Today is the teams 3 year anniversary from when me and nebuLa started Event Horizon on September 12, 2004.
Thanks to everyone that has come by the #tricking_eh irc channel or messaged us to wish us happy birthday. Without the fans and friends we’d probably not still be alive as a team and pushing to get more content for more and more movies, so thank you!
So far we haven’t decided on what we are going to do to celebrate but we have decided that if we do something, like a shoutcast steam/show, it will be this weekend. So check back to find out what we plan to do if you would like to participate. However feel free to come by the #tricking_eh channel on the irc.enterthegame.com network and chat with us. We may do something small tonight but you’ll have to be in the irc channel to find out.
Again thanks to everyone!
Our bithday is coming up next week, Sept. 12th, and it will be our 3 year Anniversary. So we are trying to figure out what we should do. We could throw up a shoutcast stream and do a show and play some music, take calls or whatever ideas you guys have. Give us some ideas other then “release EH3,” because we are going to try to do that but we’re not pushing the editor for that. We just want EH3 release in September.
Post your ideas in the comments please!
Me and sp4rky would just like to notify everyone that the release date for Event Horizon 3 has been pushed back to September. The reason for this is to fix various errors in the Quakecon beta release and add the remaining content to the film. Ebola, with Temporal Productions, had to work on a tight schedule in order to release the beta video for Quakecon 2007; so that is why various tricks were excluded from the film. The feedback from the Quakecon viewers were positive but the team and I thought a few things needed to be fine tuned. Anyways, hopefully by the release day, we can provide a more finished product.
September is Event Horizon’s 3 year anniversary, this also played a role in moving EH3 release to September.

Full Release will be within a week, if you were at Quakecon you could be getting it from me over the DC++ network. =D It was also played some in the vendors area and we’ve already gotten some feedback, so its been pretty cool.
