Thats about all the news I have for now. Also the Nai skin is coming along well for those of you who have been following its progress. I should have an update for it later tonight ^_^

- Iron_Ian

well the skinning is coming along good i see. hopefully this will all be done in a month like you anticipated.........

Okay well the skin I posted about above is mostly done, now its in the final tweaking phase. ^_^
I'll need to have the wrapping modified, but alpengeist is away on vacation.

I'll be honest with you guys, I hadn't done much work for a while up until I started working on that skin. I probably put about 20 hours into the skin over a week.
I'm going to start working on the website again (after I stopped making updates about that was basically when I started slowing down again) later today or tommorow. Gonna try and get that finished up pretty soon here. ^_^

arg my back is all twisted out of shape from sleeping on my side after the first two days of contact football. well good to see you working hard on somthing!
lets just hope it stays that way.....

Greenn1...good luck man!

Well tommorow is going to be fun. I have to go over to the condo my family has been renting for the past year and strip wallpaper. Our renter just moved out, she really fecked the place up while she was there so my family is going to have to fork out like 5 grand fixing the place up to sell or rent again.

So today I better get to work on TTOA. I think I'll do some work on the website today (haven't worked on it lately since I was doing the Nai Aruluk Archer skin).

Meh... kinda tired, got plenty of sleep, but I'm still sorta foggy. I'll probably do some gaming for an hour or so just to try and get myself into a productive mood.

EDIT: Oh yeah in case you're wondering about my new avatar, thats Minsc from the Baldur's Gate series. Hes a crazy ranger who took one too many blows to his head. Hes holding his hamster boo there. :>

How tough! women love dudes with hamsters right? well hopefully it doesnt cost as much as it sounds cuz 5k is alot for damage expensises.(unless you were in hurricane charley then at least you get hurricane insurance!

Yeah of course, they're so fuzzy wuzzy and cute. :> But you've gotta have big bulging muscles too. :\


Hurricane lol? Inland here. ^_^

im refering to condo's ppl have in florida and go to hide from the snow in the cold months.

No updates for a few days, if you read my news for the 14th you'll know why. Been working 4-6 hours every day stripping wallpaper and other crap at my family's old condo. We have to fix it up to sell it.

Right now, I really feel like just passing out on the couch... but if I do that I'll be up way to late tonight. So I'm going to try and sit here and do some stuff for TTOA... either that or I'll play some Halo or something...

I have done a few little kinck-knacks for TTOA in the past few days, but what was done has slipped my mind.

- Iron_Ian

well uh whats next? are you gonna make a new skin? or start actually putting somthing on the map?

Prolly not gonna do too much map work besides terrain + the beginning few min of the cinematic until I get a better comp (hopefully 1-2 months).

As for skinning, I don't have anything in mind ATM, but I might decide to work on something later...

Mainly I need to organize + finish the website right now...

Gah but thats gonna be delayed for quite a while. This work at the condo is tiring me, when I come home I am NOT in a creative mode. I can't sit down and write, I'm tired, and I'm mostly fighting staying awake.
I haven't even been doing War3 related stuff for a night or so. Been playing around in old Unreal Tournament Editor. I guess its just a little break/somewhat fun for me to do something different, and have no real goal behind it (just building stuff with similiar themes).

So I really f***ing hate to say that things are going to slow down. Believe you me, this is not how I planned on spending the last 2 weeks of my summer.

- Iron_Ian

EDIT: Please don't bug me/expect much of me while I'm working. I'll be in a pissy/don't bother me kinda mood a lot of the time. Small talk is fine, but bugging me about TTOA is just going to shit me off (the fact that I'm pissed about not feeling like working on it).

Today (right now its still my Saturday night really) I don't have to go to the condo and work. I've been having some fun with UnrealEd and taking a break from TTOA while I've been working, but tommorow I might do some work on the site. I've got something to type up for Reverie Entertainment too (which I'm already late on), but that won't take me much time. I plan to keep doing some mapping in UnrealEd as well tommorow, but the 2 days before I have to go back to school will probably be full-time dedicated to TTOA. I get really pissed right before school starts when a goal I set for the summer doesn't get done (my goal was to have Part 3 done or near done).

Well my Unreal map is almost done rebuilding, so I'm gonna go test that. I'll probably be up another 2 hours tonight, but at least I can sleep in tommorow (er... today... Sunday...) ^_^

I just saw Hidalgo tonight. Very good movie, its got some interesting action, a somewhat original story, and overall its very enjoyable

I'm feeling inspired to work on TTOA ^_^
I'll probably stay up a bit tonight doing that, because I won't have much time tommorow for doing much of anything.

Tommorows wonderful schedule is:
- School orientation (meh)
- Orthodontist Appointment
- Mowing the Lawn
- Working on my Dads website (alot)

Its one week 'til I go back to school, and its very irritating. I have to work Wednesday-Friday at the condo too, so I won't have any full days except Saturday + Sunday to work on TTOA. While normally you guys probably just ignore when I say I'm going to work on it (and I don't usually), if you've read the TTOA news from the far past, you might know that when I have to go back to school from summer or other breaks, I hype up into a work mode in a desperate scramble to get as much done as possible before having to go back.

Well cheers, I'm off to sort through me TTOA documents and write some stuff,
- Iron_Ian

EDIT: Add watching TTOA Part 1 over again in there ^_^
