Mini Update!!!: :woot:
Hail RST Fans,
Just popping in for a quick update here. Things went really well this last week I'm quite far along in RST's Main Quest and even got a couple side quests done. Progress continues to move quickly as I get a better feel for controlling my quest NPCs. Some of the scenarios that you will encounter are unlike anything you have come to expect from Oblivion; you will be asked to follow the story in places, and resist the urge to just sandbox play things your way. This enhances the feelings of immersion, I have found that the nature of sandbox play can be isolating for a player so RST offers a mix of play styles. There will be times when you will be free to make choices and times when you must follow the characters or risk being left behind!
I have updated the progress bars to reflect my progress from this past week and also to outline a little better what remains. You'll notice I've added a Phase 03 block; this phase is the final phase, the sort of catch all that includes the final debugging, the polishing of dialogue, and the models that remain missing. I'm afraid, the missing armor pieces will inevitably delay the release of RST. These two armor suits are critical to the design and she can't be released without them. In the meantime, other things will progress at full steam, I won't slow in light of the delay. The rest of the mod will be completed and either another armor modeler will come forth or Wind will finish his work and pick up the slack for the missing armor modeler.
I will continue working this week, I have added two new staff members to TESA so I'm really only needed there for techinical stuff and executive decisions at the moment so my focus will remain on RST. Look for another update early next week.
If you are an experienced armor modeler with texturing skills as well, and you would like to take on the two remaining armor concepts for RST, please shoot me a PM. Experienced modelers only please. :nod:
New Pictures!!!: :drool:
Here are a few new pictures from the work this week. These are shots of the Spirit Port where you will sail with a ghostly crew to the Isle of Tuatha Danan.

That's it for the mini update, I will post again early next week, hopefully to announce I've finished the Main Quest, but let's keep fingers crossed! :wave:
Cheers!
