Will we be able to have avatars anytime soon? If someone who can do spriting shows up, others might want a custom avatar of their char.

I apologize for the inactivity last night and today, between my job and homework I've been swamped since Sunday night. Tomorrow after school I'm hitting this place hard though, and that should continue well into Thursday and then Friday morning.

Is there anything particular you want me to work on? I was looking at the Mechanics Guide you posted here (I've glanced at it before actually) and I was thinking of looking at the classes and their stat growth rates and was thinking I could maybe map them out, so that the base we work from is the game and not HoI for this, and then make some adjustments to the stats/stat growth to balance it out.
You're in charge here, so I'll let you decide.

That's exactly what I was going to post today. ;D I was thinking about your experience with creating spreadsheets for your sim and how you could apply that talent to this game, which led my train of thought towards the actual game mechanics themselves. Right now I'm still working on creating templates for all the major threads, so we can begin to see what this game is really going to look like. I started yesterday updating information on all items, and I will continue that today. If you'd like to begin fleshing out stat growth tables that would be very helpful, and I will try and finish the items list and work on all the class templates to keep up with you. I know right now its hard to see me as anything otherwise, as I created the board and have most of the posts. However I would like it if, by the time we are ready to launch the game, I was thought of as just another contributor, not as a lead staff member. One of my goals is to remove as much 'staff hierarchy' from this game as possible, so that everyone has an equal say and an equally important vote in matters. Your contributions to the game will be just as important as mine, which will be just as important as the next staff member, etc.. Anything you'd like to work on that you think will benefit this game, go ahead!  |

Just to give you guys an update on where I've been: my son was born last Friday. He was actually due today, on the 27th, but he came a week early. My girlfriend and I were in the hospital all weekend, and we are still kind of finding out our routine with him. I should return to full activity here in the next couple of days.
I will try and make myself available for the next few days for communication, but I don't think I will be working on the game all that much this week. Thanks for the patience.

Easter is over, my work will supposedly stop having me work both my and other people's shifts (don't hold me to it, I got called in today to cover for someone) so hopefully I will actually contribute something from now on.

Don't sweat it! Work can be a drag sometimes, take a break from here whenever its necessary! I felt bad enough leaving for that week while my son was born, but that absence was just what I needed to recharge the creative flow. |

As you can see, we have made the migration over to version 5 of ProBoards. Overall this should be a very beneficial move, however many of the tables already posted will need to be reworked. This shouldn't take too long. In the mean time, take a look around and see what has changed. PookyTart, admin over at Userbar Depot was gracious enough to work on our theme in order to get it compatible with the new version of the forums.We now have seven different variations of the theme to choose from, depending on your own personal taste! To check them out, go Profile -> Edit Profile -> Settings -> Forum Theme. I will be working on the title image shortly, but for now, I have a mountain of homework.  |

Ha, yeah, if I had it my way we would've stayed at v4.5. However all boards were going to be migrated over at the end of April and I could only opt out until the end of the year, so change was inevitable I guess.
Now that we have a little progress made it would probably be wise to get an IRC channel running. I registered #ffsim on lunarnet just now.
