I'm looking forward to seeing how your project develops in the coming months Raven. Dragonlance is a GREAT series!
Thank you my friend. It will be in coming Months, that's for sure. It's going to be a lot of work for us. I've got a team backing me up now so I expect once Stardock gives us the plug-ins we need and we get our hands on the 60 Day Modders Package things will start falling into place nicely. The hardest parts I think will be for our poor scripter, Dhuran, who will be trying to figure out how to change our core mechanics into what I have in mind for the mod. Here's the Team so far.
Raven X: XML Scripting, Skinner, Gameplay Concept Designer
Dhuran: Lead Scripter
Civfreak: Modeler, Animator
Admiral001: Modeler
James009D/Folcik: XML Scripting
Civ's and Admiral's work can already be seen in the modding section of the forums as can Folcik's. The Team is already turning out some very excellent stuff on their own and everyone is figuring out exactly what we can and can't do. It will take time for Stardock to expose the Python API's to XML and even then it'll challenging to figure out exactly what we can do with it. I have some very cool concepts in mind for how game-play can go hand in hand with the Dragonlance Storyline from the Chronicles but we won't be sure if they'll all be possible for a while still. I think realistically we're looking at a release 3 or 4 months from now give or take a month and Stardock's time-frame on getting us more tools. We will be keeping everyone on the forums updated in the modding section though
