Back from the dead...

...or it certainly feels like it. I hadn't realized that my last blog was in 2005, or else I would have done something about it. Nothing really happened last year anyway...
So what am I up to now that rates a blog? Well... The new DigitalFlux Entertainment website is up, along with a sub-domain for Epic Frontiers. There's a forum in there as well, which I'm debating on whether to start some MMO roundtable discussions on, or to leave it for the Epic Frontiers community that will inevitably spring forth like a tidal wave of fans when the project nears completion. Yeah, better start up the roundtables ;) hehe...
Another announcement to make is that I've released some unused UI art here. Basically, it's from iterations of the Epic Frontiers interface past, and I no longer need it, but since it's laying around, it might do someone some good. Check it out in the products section of my website, and there's other goodies there as well. The only caveats to using them is that they cannot be resold in any content pack of any kind. If you use them in a game, free or commercial, it would be nice to give me credit for what you used :)
Some more things on the horizon are texture packs. One is completed, with 100 terrain textures ready to use and seamless, all based on photos taken by me on my travels around the world. Texture format is PNG, though I'm considering JPG to bring the size down below the 194 megs it is now. Pricing of the packs is also being determined, but will be very affordable. Texture sizes range from 512x512 to 1024x1024. In the future, I'm going to try for 2048x2048 as much as I can as well.
Other texture packs will cover metals, wood, masonry, stone, foliage, signage and decals, and special textures such as engravings and things of that nature. With the 100 packed up, 300 miscellaneous done, and 1200 raw photos to process, there's plenty of textures on the horizon. And if anyone has a category they'd like to see, I'm all ears.

I was just reading through the Job opportunities forum. And I saw something you posted about a guy wanting to make the next greatest MMO.
You really should write that book, I am sure tons of others would want to Co-Write.
