Monster Arena may never come out. This all depends on NV updating his scripts so that they are compatible with Tos' multiplayer patch. I suppose I could release it as is, and call it a beta or something, but it'd be nice to have it work the way it was intended.
(This mission is supposed to be multiplayer compatible, but in its current state that really isn't possible. Sure you can play it in mp, but it doesn't work properly. I.e. AI don't respawn. That's the most important feature for this, and without it ruins the challenge to multiplayer.)
As for the rest of my projects, I have to be honest here and say that I have not been very motivated as of late in working on them, and with school started I don't really feel like I'll have the time and motivation. So, I'll just say they are still on hold until further notice.

As an addendum to my previous message, I've finished jury duty, but now been informed that my landlord wants to sell the flat I live in (never rains but it pours, eh?), so my wife and I now need to hunt for somewhere else and move. I'm working on Xavier's when I can, and making decent progress (fairly soon I'm going to need a couple of alpha testers just to make sure my level doesn't blow up on anyone else's system...) but moving will take priority...

The first mission in my "Prequel" campaign is in Alpha testing. But I don't expect to start Beta any time soon. My To Do List still has over 70 items on it, and will grow as I receive alpha tester feedback. Maybe release by this Xmas?

I've updated the (
http://ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1841136#post1841136) Rules & Regulations post for the Upcoming list today.
Concerning point 2:
OLDQuote:
2. When your FM can be mentionedIn general, FMs have to be at least 50% completed overall before they can be listed.
However, missions that are
A) part of a series (sequel or prequel) or
B) a remake of the author's earlier FM
can be added any time, but with limited info until it reaches 50% completion.

2. When your FM can be mentionedIn general, FMs have to be at least 25 % completed overall before they can be listed.
However, missions that are
A) part of a series (sequel or prequel) or
B) a remake of the author's earlier FM
can be added at any moment of development.
I thought 50% completed before allowing it to list it was a bit too much. This way FMs in progress can be mentioned in a much earlier state :) Also I scrapped the limited info bit in the last sentence, as nobody really bothered to send the remaining info once it was 50% completed.
Concerning point 7:
OLDQuote:
... Reporting news is voluntarily but I would like to ask every author listed to make a public news update, no matter how small, once every 12 months, to state it's progress. Otherwise your profile will be removed because of inactivity.

... Reporting news is voluntarily but I would like to ask every author listed to make a public news update, no matter how small, once every 15 months, to state it's progress. After a year, an author will receive a reminder to update his profile, giving him three months to do so.
Once 15 months have passed since news was posted, the entry of the author will be deleted due to inactivity. The FM is presumed to be abandoned, or it's presumed that the author no longer visits the forum.

Your FM info can be removed because of the following reasons:
(...)
- because of no public news update for a period of 15 months <s>12 months</s>;
So the time before a mission gets removed has been raised from 12 to 15 months.
To indicate the likelyhood a mission gets released, the color coding (green, orange, red) will change the longer no news has been posted.

I think these changes are for the better, Phantom. Thanks for doing this. If you don't mind my pointing it out, there is a typo in Point 7:
"... Reporting news is voluntarily ..." Should be: "... Reporting news is voluntary ..."

Hi Phantom, I am a little burned out after releasing The Deadly Triangle, Thief Reloaded Contest, so Dark Is the Lair, Will have to be put on hold for now. Originally I was to release it by Jan 31st, but found it impossible. I would mark it as Release date unknown for now. Thankyou !
The Phantom on 11/2/2011 at 17:25
No problem, Tannar :thumb:. Glad someone is paying attention.
darthsLair: Thanks for telling. Profile updated.
