Getting there multimedia guys keep it up. Also the wiki has been updated with these numbers.

A.I.

Well the structure for A.I. is pretty much done (just a couple more things need doing) but that is it. So now for message for the Multimedia guys GET YOUR MODELS DONE SO WE CAN AT LEAST HAVE PLACE HOLDERS! I am sick of hearing from Tanya and Michelle about the lack of work you guys are doing so get your asses into gear!

A.I. and stats

Multimedia peoples when submitting a creature please make sure that a basic overview of how the creature acts in the world and stats it would have just in a text file

The format should be as follows:

Creature name

Alignment (Day, Night or Neutral)

Reaction type (Passive or Aggressive)

Type of attack (E.g Melee, Artillery, Spell)

Stats

Health
Mana
Attack
Speed

gonzo/projecttemp/eclipse/multimedia/completed models\ "Your Name"

Progress so far

So for every one not checking the wiki often enough here is the progress of everything, If you do not agree with these numbers please feel free to talk to either me or Michelle about it (the figures for the multimedia stuff came directly from Michelle)

Scatter Sky Shader

Hey guys here is a demo of the new scatter sky we can adjust the colour to be what ever is needed.

Well the 1st 3 week build didn't go as well as it should have but no matter early days still just make sure we have something for next one but still good work so far guys keep it up.

3 week build

Hey guys it is now time for our 3 week build so all artists if you have anything modelled (that is anything from a fingernail to a head) put it up on gonzo by thursday so we can use the models as place holders (however for the final build it will need to be 100% complete). Programmers we a little bit harsher on you guys things have to be 100% complete before we accept it and put it in game.

Hey guys the programming guys are going well some nice stuff is being produced. Keep up the good work.

Week 1

Okay guys now that we have the scary unknowing part over and done with time to get your butts into gear.

For all the programmers(all of two of them) here is the list of features and what not that we worked out.

Summoning / multisummoning

Harvesting Ether

Mounting

Physics

Faction selection

Interchangeable spells

Home - in and locked on projectiles

Minimap (illustrative vs unrendered)

Melee

Also we programmers are pushing for builds every 3 weeks.

and now the dates for the presentations

Monday 20th of September Mock presentation of everything we have thus far.
Monday 6th of December Final presentation where we show everything we have.

Remeber peoples (and this goes for artists as well) if things aren't done by these dates they aren't going into the game.
