Everything is falling into place here, coding is close to completion - its already at a playable stage, and more work is being done, so for the first time in at least 3 years, there will be a playable version of the mod available very soon...
As a side note, if we don't make the release date, you'll still get something, screenies, video, SOMETHING, so either way you, the fans, win....
Stay tuned, and you shall not be disapointed :)
