A quick update on things for ya: We haven't been working on the game for a while because we've gotten a new computer for the server, but it's Vista on a Limited User Account, which means problems. I should be able to set up the server again by the end of this weekend though!

Also, there's finally an update on the Engine side of things, so we should be able to (hopefully) start coding soon? I hope... Please?

While trying to update the forums, I accidentally killed them. The backup I had prepared failed, so we couldn't recover anything. Therefore, we have a new, clean installation! We have new emoticons and an updated board now, so go ahead and register and start discussing again!
Edit: I've managed to recover the last forums in an archive-only state! If you would like to find any old posts or information, you may attempt to log in to the archive at http://twilightproject.org/again/

As for the game, we've decided to stop waiting on Eclipse's new engine and just go with what we have. Once I get things sorted out again, Kevin has said that he'll be glad to start coding. It's not much progress, but it's something, anyway.

The web portal for the two main sites / projects I'm currently running is now live! (http://www.twilightproject.org/)

The portal links to this site and the blog project I'm running, currently called the Delta Network. That's not its final name, just a placeholder for it until we make a decision.

For those that don't know, the Delta Network is basically a community-driven blog site where anyone and everyone can contribute. Members who post high-quality content frequently can become Power Authors, which allows them to post directly to the blog without having to be approved each time. With user content, comments, and the forums, we hope to create an enjoyable community for people to share and discuss news and topics that they're interested in.

As for TD news, we have a new staff member! Please welcome Kevin, who has joined the team as a programmer!

Due to the limited amount of time I now have to spend working on or thinking about TD, I'm looking for someone to help me with the runnings of the project.

The duties for this position will include helping to find and hire staff, some managing of staff, organizing of tasks (mapping, deving, and programming), relaying objectives and such to staff for me, and any other areas I might need help with.

The requirements needed to hold this position are the ability to communicate fairly well and efficiently between myself and the staff (and therefore the ability to use instant messengers, e-mail, and the forums), good organizational sense, and a willingness and ability to follow directions. Actual programming / coding and mapping abilities are not needed (though you should at least be able to tell the difference between a nice map and a bad one). The amount of time you will need to be able to spend on this position will vary with the situation, but if there is a lack of time during a certain period it will obviously be understandable.

If you are not interested or cannot apply for some reason, but know someone that might, please let them know. To apply for this position or if you have any questions, please post on the forums in this topic, or contact me with the information below:

We need the community's help again in deciding on an issue. Question 2 asks whether we should wait for a better base engine or go ahead with the coding and move forward now. For details and to submit your thoughts and opinions, go to this thread on the forums. Responses are preferred before Thursday evening.
