Well I normally post to my personal blog at:

relswick.joeuser.com (which will be moving to my own site soon enough...)

I will post some news about once a month or so to keep folks up to date on the Street Smart Detroit project we are working on.

It is a Serious Game about the plight of the Homeless. It's goal is to convey to the player what are some of the obstacles a homeless person has to overcome and convey to the player that a homeless person is a real person with real emotions and such, not just some annoying person on the street.

Anyhow, a project update: The initial Design Doc for the prototype is done and work is underway on the project. Recently www.Delgine.com donated a license to the project for their Dele3D Editor, which will allow us to convert our SketchUp maps to Torque using their Torque Exporter. Good Stuff and I am looking forward to this moving our project along rapidly.

Expect a Playable Demo to be out before Christmas.
