###**Job Postings**###


Technically nothing at this time, but I may be looking for an additional dungeon writer.

###**Update**###


Direhaggis: I finished a few more tutorials, wrote several NPC's, and inched toward finishing the main plot. Not my usual output from months past, but I'm getting there.

Zini: Coordinated with various departments about implementation efforts and improving quest testing. For instance, he has exercised unusual patience when trying to get something just right and I, well, take literary liberties that don't quite work. Anyway. Hand of applause, Zini.

Aurora: I'd like to imagine working on Covetous.

Sage: Finished the Lyceum and the outskirts of Britain several months ago. Not sure if I ever wrote that, so there it is again or for the first time.

Spyder: Worked on wildlife creatures and prospector type models, such as a handy pickaxe to mine ore. We have been getting all up into ore recently. I'll be doing a tutorial about mining soon. That's right: you can harvest ore, do your own blacksmithing, and produce an entire suit of armor if you're so inclined. Or leather. Cloth too.

Corv: Helping with administrative stuff and server whatnot.

Hyena of Doom: Did all of the exterior worldbuilding for houses for the 3rd iteration of Skara Brae. Has also been working on a pet location of mine related to the area. The first one was around 2004 circa the original Redemption team and was just sub-standard. The second one didn't quite work. So this one should take.

Lord Alamar: Retexturing various things and searching around for spare parts for to build our army of awesome.

Jacar: Making progress on re-writing and re-interior worldbuilding for the cold secret location. We have several of those. Again, as I mentioned a few months back, he lost all of his work.

LSD: Still working on Buccaneer's Den. If his work on Vesper is any indication, we are in store for debauchery of epic proportions.

The Brown Dragon: 3/4's done with Jhelom. I'm especially happy because I've thrown at least 4 separate authors at that city for the last several years. All of them failed. The last guy created an entire macroeconomic web related to tropical natural resources and outlines for 70 NPCs, but then suddenly vanished. I write all of this not because I'm complaining. It is just to give you a sense of how relieved and satisfied I am with TBD's work.

Jomtung: He finished Empath Abbey, which was another area that'd been left dangling for awhile. Beyond my doing some narrative for the abbot, a few people tried but then disappeared.

Gaius Atrius: Interior worldbuilding. Terra Incognita.


So despite some slowdown, we are back.


So in summary, with the exception of Buc's Den, my Excel file tells me that every major, moderate, and minor area on the surface world is now more or less populated. Granted I or someone else should generate 5-7 more Moonglow NPC's, and a handful of NPC's for a few more dungeons, but that's it.

(and let me say: LSD's work is always worth the wait. I mean that not as an encouraging lead writer or even team member; I mean that as a zealously hateful anti-christ of lukewarm fantasy or RPG fiction).

So now I suppose I have got to think of something else original to say as a result of DH's latest report. Can't actually, except that, as usual it's a pleasure to read. My mind is going forward to the project's eventual completion date - no not release date - completion date. It will clearly be a very complex bit of programming and I expect that an enormous amount of Beta testing will be needed before Corv and co. will be satisfied that it is as free of bugs as it can be. Maybe some of us fans can help with that.
(No this isn't an attempt to get a "sneakie peekie"!)

Try XYZZY - it might work!

I've helpfully revised some of my language in the May 2010 update. That's what I get when I finish around 1:30am.

I'm working on another deadline at my job. It's for a 3 million dollar grant renewal, so bear with me. Update coming soon.

That's pretty big and important, Dire. Take you're time, we're patient. Big Grin

It is, but at the same time I do feel bad deferring to work as often as I have. I have a first date tomorrow (!) after a 3 year relationship ended several months ago, but beyond that and some other assorted plans I want to take an hour and write up June. We're already 1/3 through July, after all.

Here's hoping your date goes/went well. Smile

And, believe me when I say I know what you mean about defering to work.

I'm Active Duty AF, going through a class to promote to the NCO tier, and barely have time to eat lunch and dinner with my family. Contact with friends is non-existant outside of class. All my weekends are slotted by homework or extra activities I HAVE to do for class. I'm just lucky that I don't have any major projects outside of class and family to take care of, because they would be untouched completely.

So, when you have a major deadline worth as much as it is...I don't hold it against you, nor should anyone else here. I promise. Big Grin

It could have gone better. I had a decently fun time, but she seemed oddly reserved and wasn't particularly witty or quick when I asked her questions. Ah well.
