I've never written a blog before, and I don't read very many... so forgive me if I do/say anything in a non-bloglike fashion.

Today, I'm going to give an update on my progress to everyone I have ties to for work.

At the deepest root of my obligations, I have code to write for the mod Shadow of the Empire (not to be confused with the game "Shadows of the Empire"). Once this semester of college is over, this will be the first thing I tackle. When I'm done with the coding, we'll most likely release a demo of the mod (for those of you who care).

Then there are 3 biomes in particular that I need to work on.

I've had Extreme's biome in layaway for a long time, pretty much since I created the biome wish list way back when. The reason is that I haven't really found good textures to work with; as I'm not good enough to make them entirely from scratch. However, I've recently come across some interesting textures and I'll be working on this during what free time I have left this semester. Sooo about 1% of your biome has work done. :P

Addict asked for a custom hi-res biome a while back with specific realworld types of rock. So I found some samples and made all of the textures for one rocktype, and haven't really done much since. I'll get back to you on that.

Cirevam also asked for a custom biome, and he was planning on releasing TR around Xmas time... and so I worked hard on his biome to try and get it done in time for him. It's about 70% done, but I slacked off a bit when I found out his HD failed and thus delayed TR's release schedule significantly. He also got a bunch more ideas for the mod since then, thus delaying release further. :P Around March, I pretty much stopped working on this biome due to significant amounts of homework, and the need for "fun" things to do in my freetime to relieve stress (such as COD:BlackOps, or more recently, MineCraft+mods).

------

Now for some non-obligated work assignments I have. In the wish list, I have several other biomes that I want to make simply because I want to. Those have some starts, but I'm still collecting samples.... like recently I found a wall texture for the ice-rock biome... which I'm about to test ingame to see how it looks. If it looks good, I might upload some images later. ;)

Oh boy, you're busy. Oh, don't worry, it's fine. Just do good in school and get a cool job.

I'm close to a beta release of TR if that helps motivate you. I'm having problems when adding an extra building (not replacing, but I might as well replace one) but I might get this done by mid-May.
