Cold Blood: the perpertual problem of mine. The closer I get to finishing it, the further away completion is. I've announced it's death what, three times now? About every six months or so?
Life, for me, has been a little too busy to put in the time for working on the thing, and my lack of computing power was a hinderance.

But, good news, folks! I just upgraded my system, er, ^10, and time constraints are disappearing left and right.
This has the following effects:
- CB, as it is right now, will be released for EV (not EVO)
- The finished CB will be made for EV Nova, for a few reasons (see below)
- This time, the project will be worked on, and testing will be more relevant (sorry to all you testers I abandoned over the years)

Why on EVN? It will better suit my needs graphically, as I'm re-making all the ships in lightwave. Second, as it has no release date, I have no distraction from getting the story nailed down, and no reason to give CB a release date. CB will still be a TC, by the way, since I already have a good idea of how that's done.

Anyhow, more on this as things develop. Thank you all for your support.

My ISP's webspace keeps changing as the company is constantly devoured by other companies...it's hard to keep up sometimes. The website was a little out of date anyhow, needs some work, and never as finished.

Email addies...it seems every time I establish one that I rely on, Hotmail craps on it. I'm trying to switch everything over to a new account.

This will all come full-cicle soon, and I'll have things up a running, comm lines open, and soforth.

Sorry to dredge up this thread, but is there in any progress in getting an address we can contact you at Onyx?

I am eagerly waiting to get Cold Blood rolling again!

Thanks,

Onyx comes and goes like MacWorlds (ie. not very regularly, but when he does turn up he brings along something shiny and pretty to remind us why he's Onyx and we're not).

Ladies and Gentlemen, as you know we have something special for you at
Birdland this evening. A recording for Blue Note Records...

That's awesome to hear, if there was ever one project I wanted to see completed it was your Onyx.

Great to see your back!

Sorry for the lack of posts, but I changed a couple things about my account at a crucial moment, one of which being the email addy (i got my POP3 mail to work, finally, after six years of struggle). As the webboard does not perform automatic emailing functions right now (probably a big reason nobody can register, too), I can't get the random-character password to access my webboard account. Someday..sigh....

The other thing that's gone awry is I can't successfully FTP-link to my server at the moment. I have the EV-CB final (as finished as it's gonna be), as well as a new website with a free shipyard and other goodies, all ready to be uploaded, and as soon as they're up there for download, I'll make sure you guys are the first to know, as long as I have access to my webboard account so I can do a new post.

And, yes, i suppose I do come and go like the winds...When next I can post it, I've got some nice new eye-candy for the image gallery, wink wink.
