THERE WILL BE A SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION
(4 September 2004, 21:52 | Alt | 41 comments) From common expression, to the title of a Celine Dion song and back again The Courts of Candle`Bre Project Leader and Designer `Velociryx` has completed and subsequently posted an update on the team`s efforts on the named game. Art, sound, code, and writing -wise notes are provided.
In my mind, once I put the wraps on the Event Engine particulars, we`re on the downhill side, he concludes. Still not confident enough to give a date, but... yeah. We`re crossing this finish line...
Velociryx speaks more on the Event Engine front in an earlier post. More information on the effort can be found and followed through the Candle`Bre forum hosted by Apolyton Civilization Site. - DanQ
