Sacred
OK, Cloud Castle 2 is going to take a lot longer to finish than I anticipated. This is largely due to Arik buggering off to university, and leaving me to do all the work by myself.
This would not work, as Arik would kick me stupid if I changed the game too much, as I am prone to doing (it has always resulted in a broken bone or two).
Mythago Wood has also died a death, though I am still using some of the stuff from it, for a "spooky" d-mod I am planning on releasing on Halloween (that d-mod has been lying on my hard drive for nearly a year, after not quite making last Halloween).
Which leaves me with a open slate to work with, in creating a d-mod. Oh goody.
This d-mod (currently given the working-name "Sacred") isn't going ti be huge. It won't have 1000 secrets, nor will it have changing weather... in fact, I'm not having any of these new-fangled pieces of coding.
I'm going to stick to the basics, and tell a story. And a good one at that.
I hope to stick to your sterotypical RPG style, but in a world with a deep history, and a lot of depth.
To achieve this, a lot of backstory for the world needs to be made, and this shall be released in conjunction with the d-mod.
Now, I would like a few people to aid in some way. I know this did not work at all with Mythago Wood, but I blame this on the disappeance of Morpheus, which left a LOT hanging in the air.
One of the usual things people ask for are graphics, and I am now giving the same plea that most do... PLEASE SOMEBODY MAKE SOME GRAPHICS!! Obvoiusly I have some that can be used, such as the exceptional Mog graphics, as well as many modified graphics (mostly by bin).
If anybody is interested, let me know.

Mythago Wood has also died a death
Thanks for informing your ever-faithful team before telling everyone

Hands up everyone who thought Mythago Wood would never make it! 
Well, new graphics don't make the game, I assure you. They do help, but if you're going to wait for them before finishing your d-mod I anticipate it won't see the light of day just like Mythago Wood.
Perhaps I phrased that wrong, Mythago Wood isn't exactly "dead", it's just up in the air.
Jamie has disappeared (and with him, the website), Simonk was wanting to use the graphics and other numerous issues with "stuff" have made it's development very tricky.
I still would like to finish it, and just so you know Redink, the team is still together (no escaping me now!) but as nobody had asked me about it either, I assumed you had all lost interest.
But if you still wanna crack on with it, I'm game!
And waiting for new graphics has nothing to do with it... they would just be nice to have. I wouldn't halt a d-mod waiting for graphics unless they were completely vital.
Anyway, screw you guys, I'm gonna make that d-mod to show you I CAN actually fulfil a promise!

Hey, you can still use the graphics..., I just said if you're not using them, I will. So that's not really a reason you've halted the DMOD
And from someone who has made graphics for other people - and not seen them used in a DMOD - you kinda don't feel like not making anymore for anyone. All the effort to do them for what? Months (sometimes years, heh Kyle) before they ever see the light of day.

Heh, whilst not a very good reason... it is a reason nonetheless! But great, I'll continue with Mythago Wood ( those involved should expect a e-mail in the next few days) and hopefully it will actually get finished!
I suppose another reason was that now Arik has run off to university, I felt I could break free of his will, and make a new d-mod.
But I guess that can be Mythago Wood!
Although, I'm making SURE I enter the contest this time!!
And as a solution to that problem, maybe you should only make graphics for people who can show you how close the d-mod is to completion? Though if the graphics are the main character, that may not work so well... ho hum.

I don't know if there is a solution... as such. I'm trying to think of one DMOD that I've made graphics specifically for (besides my own) which has been released, and the total is... none! (yet, though I still have hopes for one).
I think I'll fire off an email to Jamie, if I don't hear back with a week I'll upload the spike graphics to the DN, maybe then someone will use them.
