Hey all,

Thnx for your encouragments :)
Our release is planned for November this year. We are currently running on schedual so that is a realistic target.
The playermodel will recieve some Zbrushing and ofcourse the equipment, anytime soon.

Our team currently holds about 10 active teammembers. But we are certainly in need of new talent :)
Especially ww1 interested texture artists who will learn how to model and animate soon.

Sounds very promising!
The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that it's going to take a long time until the first release!
Oh and another thing...since when do Germans look like apes (the face) and have helmets over their eyes? Or is that a design-thingy?
