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


No job openings at this time.

###**Update**###


Team members not listed are working on the same assignments as June 2010. Some of these take a good long while--personal + professional lives being what they are.

Direhaggis: worked on tutorials and implementation issues for chapter 4. Re-worked several NPC's. I also started back up on the Endgame. Finished 3 endings and an entire optional path the player can take. The best that I can describe it as? The Deus Ex choice at the end that results in the Voltaire quote. I think that's obscure enough. The 'main' ending is evolving and has 10 hours of solid writing left to it. Of course, implementing and revising everything that came before it will be the real challenge. The first half a decade was a cake-walk. Oh wicked wondrous bitch, writing.

Zini: finished several levels of Destard. Also polished the cooking tutorial. This skill has been elusive in its difficulty. Still, we've taken all of the fan suggestions and incorporated them all into a reasonably interesting system.

Spyder: he in part worked on several models related to the main narrative. It's funny: throughout the process, I figured X, Y, or Z would be a decently common item. It appears not. But so far no one has tried to set me on fire, and that makes all the difference. He also worked on some armor model with Lord Alamar, made a coffin, a dead body, and other assorted odds and ends.

Lord Alamar: focused on implementing and texturing armor models. He's going to focus on extending his modeling skills via classes and software to expand his horizons. I've been delighted by his contributions thus far and eagerly await what he'll produce.

The Brown Dragon: nearly done with a first draft of Jhelom. As I've mentioned in previous months, this city has been unusually elusive to populate. After the 4th writer not so suddenly disappeared, I spent a good afternoon writing an outline; figured I'd do it myself. TBD has stuck around and been good enough to not make me torture you all with more of my NPC's. God knows there'll be enough of that already!

LSD: nearly finished with Buccaneer's Den. He and I have briefly talked about some of the festivities he has in store for you all. In two words: just wow. There is a degree of beauty and debauchery undreamt by mere mortals, and somehow he has made it manifest in the funniest ways possible. It really is quality work.

We also have a new writer, I believe. I emphasize faith in that sentence because I've been juggling 6 projects at work and not paying explicit, mindful attention. What can be written, except that I'll keep writing?

Thanks D.H. Yet another monthly report full of good news. Our enthusiasm is renewed, refreshed and our anticipation continues undimmed.

Possibly an easier question to answer than you know. If it was a specific dead body, odds are it'll be a spoiler and therefore he can't/won't tell us. If it's generic, it's fair game.

But my bet's on specific.

Just a generic dead body for use with the coffin. Or is it?

I've been juggling half a dozen projects at work. Just finished a big meeting on some data regarding people at risk for developing Alzheimer's Disease and problems with insulin regulation.

The update will be posted in short order.

Thanks for that DH: the press over here indicates that Altzheimer's is delayed by giving the patient loads of Vitamin B, but you will know much more about it. I wish I had known that when my Mother succumbed to it in 1998!
We all look forward to reading your next report when you can write it.
