Files will not be uploaded until finished. Jason and I are still working on a lot of theory. The files that will be posted will be in outline form. Then, we will develop the files into essay form. From there, I will need full cooperation with the programmers in order to make the final transition into Object Oriented format. This way, the programmers can spend time on the HOW rather than deal with the WHY.

If the rest of you want to want to help with gameplay concepts and the like, I would like to hear a few suggestions.

woho, an update from myself. ; ) I uploaded 9 images of fog into the Art folder. I stuck a link to them at the bottom of the Artwork page, but the whole thing can obviously be arranged better. I'll get with John sometime soon about making this whole site look much better. Anyways, the images are grayscale, because they are about fog and light value, not color. Changing them to grayscale simply removes a distraction and saves file space. They are also blured a bit because I didn't have a tripod with me and I was using a slow shutter speed to make up for the lost light. so there

Sorry about the delay for the files and such. I am interweaving both the engine and story files. For the most part, I am doing this because I said I wanted to integrate battle engine and story...so I am. Instead of having Story and Engine files, I am going to combine them (which was my original intention.) Besides, when I began to create the Engine outline, I found myself referring to the story on a highly regular basis. And now, the time has come for me to follow through with this new outline implementation. So, I will be posting this outline within the next week or so.

Expect pics EARLY next week. It is possible that Jason will get his camera before MLK Jr. day. Woot. 8)

Most of the pics will be real-life environment settings and objects (I.e. The atmosphere at different times of the day or a blade of grass.) Some of these pics should help liven up the webpage until Jason can get some of his own paintings and illustrations to replace them. 8)

These pictures will also help Jeremy design the engine. He needs to have a good few examples for lighting. Also, the pictures will be good for 3D design of objects such as trees, grass, etc.

Meeting on MLK day (Jan 15th) begins early that day.

Jason will be getting his digital camera very soon. We will have many real-life pics by mid to end of next week.

Highlight: Since Jason FINALLY got his scanner, he was able to scan his illustrations for the battle-menu file. Hopefully, this should help you understand situations better, visually.

Also, the Monster category has been added to the artwork section. The Forest Monster is the first image from Jason's new scanner, so more detail can be seen. Check it out. 8)

I have come to a choice between two decisions. Either I will keep FAQ seperate from Theories and Revelations, or I will turn Theories and Revelations into question form. This way, there is one file with all the answers to the background of the story. What do you guys think? Take a gander at both files. 8)

Added two files: Theories and Revelations and FAQ. These files will undergo many revisions tomorrow...mostly with grammatics and reorganization. However, I am somewhat relying upon you guys to come up with more questions and suggestions for FAQ, as I have a LONG way to go on that file. Thanks. 8)

I also relinked the files on the code section. Since internations sometimes wants to move sluggishly, I would prefer that we don't have to click on five links in order to get to a file...especially for us unfortunate people who can't get cable modems as of yet. 8(

John modified the Files page. No longer do you have to enter the password EVERY time you want to move back or forward through our files. yay 8)

Also, I will begin to upload files so that all of you may download OR view them onscreen for your reading pleasure.

Projected availability page to two weeks. Hopefully, we will be able to fill in all the question marks. I also updated the Meetings page.
