Progress has come to a halt... for now (We hope)
The only progress we have to show unfortunately is this marvellous image by TheGreekDollmaker
Currently, I do not possess the correct skills to be modelling professional models for the mod. A single model requires a few stages.
1. Low poly version
2. High poly version
3. Unwrap low poly
4. Bake high poly to low poly
5. Texture
I can only do Low Poly and High poly modelling at the moment, blender isn't capable of baking proffessionally and the unwrapping isn't the best. It might be a few months or even longer before I make any more models for the mod.
If anyone has any experience with modelling with all the stages proffessional, I would really like some assistance :D
So, to answer your questions, this mod is certainly not dead, just... hibernating for the cold months.

Aww man, this mod was flying earlier on, I really hope it isn't going to die :( Looked promising.
Do not fret. All members of the mod have schooling they must keep up with. It flew early on due to it being summer. Now I am busy with school, sports, friends, computer usage restrictions, etc.
Im a member and i dont have schooling
where did the other guys go tht were helping u?
We haven't gone anywhere, the core members of the team are still here. Me and TheGreekDollmaker will still map. Uk gamedev will/does still model.
Im still here :)
a real shame to hear, and although i really do like you will go on in a few months or so i have learned from the past that in such cases the mod will die. because by then you will have so many new ideas that you probably will start a new mod. i map myself and do follow the modding community for over 10 years now so i think i can predict these things.
but, please prove me wrong!!!!
maybe you could just release what you have by then, should you start something new. i have been following this mod for months now as tracker and already from the start i had the feeling that this project was much to big for a small group of developers. one drawing after another was showed from designs, and i loved them all but couldn't help thinking that drawing a model is much easier as actually making them.
i guess its always best to first see what you can actually make before you start planning. a lot of mods die simply because there awesome ideas where so good that they couldn't actually make them.
all in all i loved tracking this one, and i will keep tracking it. and hopefully one day you will be back with new stuff. and should you decide to start something new then please do rap this one up and release it as a died beta or something.
thanks,

Aww, bad to hear, though, it's always nice to see you don't give up!
Hey, you don't need any professional software to bake normal maps. If you have a high-poly and a UV-mapped low-poly, you can do it with xNormal for free:

Dead. Mod makers suck.... So unreliable.
