Ending World is coming along great. I'm taking my time and the game is all the better for it.

To your left is a shot of the Akyrema Academy's food court. This is one of the incidental event sequences in the game that people can discover and interact with. The way that you decide to communicate with other players will effect the story and your battle stats. Above that is a shot from the opening sequence.

Currently the team contains two people; myself and Chris who is helping out in writing some of the music. I have two other contacts that aren't doing anything yet, but are apparently interested. We'll see where that'll go.

If *you* are interested in helping out, you're enthusiastic about the project and you have some skill(s) to offer, don't hesitate to tell us about it! Go on the forums and post away. I'm looking for positive team members that will contribute skills to the project; don't try to join under the assumption that you can make this your own project. There is plenty of room to play around with minor storylines, individual enemies and scenes etc, but the overall theme, look, feel and sound of the game is under my control and I like it that way. :) Giving up control is what you do on commercial projects - my interest in Ending World is that I get to do whatever I feel like doing. If you want to come help out, great. If you want to build your own RPG, then do so. Once EW:Act1 is released, you'll be able to use it to create your own games using the scripting engine. Additionally, I'll be encouraging people to create side story / alternate reality acts; if they're good enough they'll get featured here on the site.

Here's the latest that Eos and I have been working on... this isn't a render, this is a screencap from within Blender. We've both had a hand in modelling this one. Lots of more stuff done lately; we'll share some shots of 'em later. ^^

Currently (just as I write this update) Andy's getting more work done on NiM-X. Right now he's working on implementing some explosions; which Stryker rendered out for us. More info and possibly screenshots soon.

I whiped up this Angler Fish today as well as an Electric Eel. Things are progressing very quickly. We had a meeting on Kittytown Rescue today. Some pressure was lifted from the project, so I may be able to spare a few more minutes for EW and NX in the coming weeks.

Andy is back, and will probably start to do stuff soon. I'm switching our sound engine over to Bass due to problems with Audiere. The switch is almost done, but Bass uses a different way of changing sound/music pitch and I'm still trying to figure out a good way to convert thing from the old system to the new.

Also, I think Chief Fruity is still logging out on the chat. :O Trans was also on when the bug was discovered.
