I hope final exams have been going well for those in northern hemisphere schools. We are fast approaching the busiest time of year in this community, when visits increase four-fold. With all the expectant activity, I've already started back into development of The Mystical Journey, after getting some of the website and server upgrades live over this past month.

My focus this week has been completion of a few sprite animation frames. Other sprites are coming along quite nicely. Let's try to get all the artwork combined for sprites, tiles, and cels, during June and shoot for a demo or two by the end of the month!

I will continue to update development progress here for anyone interested. This includes artwork and character bios. MetalHeart also has this group to share ideas. If you are interested in joining either group, feel free to contact either of us.

We can try to have a planning meeting for TMJ next Friday. I will finalize details in the next few days. In the meantime, don't forget to try out Mt. Hildar on DSiPaint.com to see the new sprite for Helmer in action!
