Wow, that's lovely... I particularly like the main staircase view. :)

Bad News: Haven't gotten as much done this week as I'd like. We discovered on Tuesday that one of our cats had cancer, and had to have her put to sleep on Thursday. :(
Good News: Polygon is actively Dromeding again, taking an active role in finishing
Death's Cold Embrace, and working on a small sequel FM! He may even get it done in time for a simultaneous release. It's drop-dead gorgeous, of course. I'll post a screenshot if he gives permission.
What did I actually get done this week? Mostly finished the new AI skins...

Very nice new skins but very bad news about your cat! I've owned many cats over the years (I have 3 now) so I know how heartwrenching it is to deal with similar situations. My condolences to you and your family on the loss of your pet.

Thanks, Nightwalker. Our son was quite down about it, but we're working through it. She was 12.... when our 15-year-old goes (he has kidney disease, but it's under control), it will be even harder. We've had him since my wife and I started dating.

Unfortunately, this week was extremely busy for me both at work and home. I think it's safe to say my original estimate of 4 weeks to Beta won't stick - probably at least 4 more from now. :p
Some progress this week:
1. All conversations and voicework requirements hammered out, and sent to Slyfoxx, who's close to finishing his parts in record time. Thanks, oh Sly one!
2. A breakthrough in the transparency/complexity issues in the front staircase area. Not only is the window still transparent, now it's purty too! I'll post a screenie once the design is finalized. Huge thanks to AsyluM (I borrowed windows from his beta).
3. I actually have made my first attempt at voice acting. I'm still processing the files and will no doubt have to redo some work, and there's plenty left to do, but it actually turned out alright. You unlucky taffers will finally get to hear my voice. :eek:
4. I've found three great pieces of music to use in the camvator sequence. I only need one. Don't know how on earth I'll choose.
Cheers!

Love the shots! Keep it up!

I decided it was time to post something here myself. Hopefully I won’t be bombarded with rotten tomatoes for never actually finishing the mansion mission. The main reason for me was the lack of ‘life’ the mission had. I can blame that on the fact that the mission started out as a project for me to learn dromed. (yes. The mansion is my first thief mission.)
You can thank Yandros for my return to dromed. His enthusiasm encouraged me to work on a small sequel. Here are some screenshots.

They will probably be the only screenshots I’ll release until I’m almost done. There still early screens and might still slightly change.
This time I started working with the right idea and not to learn dromed. Get a story first and then start building. Further updates will probably posted in this thread.

Those screenies look incredible! It's great you're back dromeding :)
Yandros on 27/3/2004 at 21:20
I'm certainly glad you're creating again too! Love those screens.
