Good Afternoon, folks. We had a first quarter come and go, we have several points going for us, we are way past our design phase, and are well into our modeling and integration phase. We have some new code coming along. Some slow , some really looking nice, but thats programming for you. Now, a few weeks ago we had previewed some of the Atlantia zone being layed out. And this week, were rolling along, im finishing up some work, as the team is moving the other items that will start tying the work together. Its amazing when we started seeing these items come together. We have a priority of getting some of our baddies ready for viewing by our fans. We have lots of awesome surprises along that route. In fact for your viewing pleasure, im releasing some of our sketchs of some of our baddies we are looking at.

This is Our worm (inspired by Dune), a warfrog (ridable?), and one of our flying baddies, known in the fantasy zone as a Stinger.

A second picture of a Fireelf, this one a female Fire Psionic.

A aerial view of the Atlantia city square, if you are curious what the end result is.

Its inspired from some historical items, namely atlantis and the hanging gardens of babylon. Our reference image, of this city.. curious?



We hope that you all are enjoying our previews, im hoping that by the next posting, we might have a new movie tour to begin bringing the world to life, we had a oppurtunity to show it at a local computer shop, generating alot of interest. We expect alot of good things in the future. We have a long road, yet, it seems like tommorow will be the due date on our Alpha testing. Please feel free to drop by our website, www.fantascihiddenwar.com, which is always a good place to see some additional sneak peeks, i really should update it again.

We have been really busy this week actually, adding in 6-10 new monsters and another 6 or so new weapons. Were planning on at least 3-4 weapons a day for the next little bit. Its hectic, but we are managing well.

Our new artists are a god send, they are popping out models and drafts like crazy, powered by the fury that is Fantasci, life is slowly breathing in to the world, merchants are setting up shop, people and critters are moving around. We have most of the models already rigged and animated, we have lots of work yet, but we are working hard. With so much to do, we hope that we can please a large amount of folks and see alot of fans gather around us. who knows in 2-3 years we might be the next WoW ( probably not, but who knows).
We have been working on the programming adding so much stuff takes time, its incredible sometimes as we add stuff, some of which is a bit rough, but some of it is perfect.

some items from our scifi area.

special thanks to the Chonos group for the hover model (which is actually being replaced, its still a cool model)

the baby woyrm and the rockman are almost ready


the rockman does have a texture, its just not on inthat picture. And the worm, thats the smallest worm in the game, the full size one.. well lets just say,you and a single weapon are going to have a issue with it. Might want to bring a hunting party.

and last but not least a blooper, my artist say, yah ill make the roller drone.
so he does.


complete with a movie
files.filefront.com/blast2avi/;8070927;;/fileinfo.html
after carefully adding it in, i couldnt find it.. i looked and looked, finally after a manual search. I found it rolling at me feet.

Note that this picture has not been altered for scale in anyway, on the camera angle was changed.

so thats been a snapshot of our week, im hoping next week we can give a tour of some of our new weapons and alot of the fun we have been having. Have a great weekend and dropby.

We are still looking for another programmer for Fantasci, must have a tge or greater liscence and not be participating in the contest under any other team. contact me at racs333@hotmail.com . Thanks again. till we meet again, The World of Fantasci grows stronger.
