Ok, well that's over a year now the mod has officially been in development... sure I only gathered a team around 8 months ago but we have made so much progress. Ok, most of you probably know that this is the time for exams and much of the team (including myself) have been occupied with GCSE exams but we have been tenacious and in between revision we have managed to get a little content for you... we're keeping a little back however because we're funny like that.

Becuase my progress has been significantly hindered by my exams I'm still working on that Industrial area iIm sure you're all fond of. I may begin work on the gate into the city (an excuse to use lots of destroyed buildings, blood and random tires). Mr.Sugar has been working on the subway tunnels and some streets arond that area and frankly it looks amazing... unfortunately we don't have many images of that to show you.

James Booth deserves a mention (being a co-leader) as he has helped guide the mod in the right direction as our military adviser (doesn't that sound cool?). After trying to pull off a 'This could be set anywhere mod' we realised that was almost impossible so the mod is now to be set in the United Kingdom where many of the team members reside.

My concept art, as you can agree, is awful. Never fear, Soundpath is here! This is a guy who is simply amazing at concept art, he's captured the mood of the mod with his brilliant artwork. We also have some basic codes, a few models (Including the concentrated bullsquid acid gun... you just know you want to see that thing in action). A soundtrack is also under development by talented sound artists.

The website is finally on its way and will be ready in a matter of weeks... we changed webmasters because we figured that a 6 month wait with no progress was long enough. On that note (I suppose) we are looking for coders and texture artists. We could also do with some experienced modelers and even model animators. Your help is appreciated.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed that great read to see how we're doing, and now for some screenshots...
