Current Events

SIEGE has come and gone, and the coding team is back in the saddle again. The work flow is getting back on Trac and ticket assignments are getting much deserved attention. By this time next week we are looking to be in full swing development of the engine and the rapid game development application, World Builder.

There is also rumor of a playable FPS coming with World Builder as a working example and maybe a tutorial to be built around it. Until next week, try to keep out of the cross-hairs.
