We'll start off with the announcement of a new project:
Project MovieWhat is it?
Project movie is a mix between a BYOND game and a utility. We want it to be a fun tool to watch your own/other peoples movies and create awesome movies with.
Creating movies?
That's right! And you won't need any special tools to do it. Just a .txt file editor!
Is it difficult to learn?
Of course not, but don't believe me! Take a look for yourself.

So when I load my text file people will be able to watch my movies?
Exactly.
Can I use my own art?
At this point, no. However it is very possible in the future. But don't fret, we plan to release a comprehensive graphics set for every possible scenario scenario you could want. The art pack we release will be much nicer than the placeholders you see in the screen shots below.
When can I expect to see this out?
Soon, very soon. We've had preview events with new movies a couple times a week, so you might have already seen it on the hub. We don't like giving dates though.
And now ladies and gents, Progeny. And I'm sure the big question is: Where the hell have you been?
That's not so easy to answer, however it has been wrestling season for all of the big team members so that is probably the excuse we're going to use. Combine that with the fact that we had four icon artists drop off the planet, and hopefully you'll understand.
We did however finally get the armor and weapons in place. And we fixed up those ugly overlay numbers.
Ok, so two months and that's pretty much it. Pretty pathetic.
Though, I did happen to start on the basic Orc architectural style.
Sorry to disappoint, however next week I've heard a fabled icon update is supposed to be knocking at my email. Hopefully we'll have some nice things for you by then.

Gosh, I sound like Sony...
