I have put the capital UPDATE in stuff that is actual news from the team. In my other post I was just trying to explain that working on something may not be what people think. It may not be hey, make this code do that - it might be different. It could be as you say animating some artwork or building a demo in UnReal4, it could be more than just programming. Technical expertise is such a general statement that only the team could explain what they were doing and I highly doubt they are free to do so.

I asked very general questions of what was going on so they could at least try and give the folks here something to hang their hats on. The breakthrough on the project is really good news. I try to point out I don't know what they are working on - but it could more than just programming.

They're not saying what they're doing because its that they're too embarrassed to admit NC Soft asked them code a groin slider for the males since the females had the breast slider

I'm in VA, so like a 24 hour round trip for me if I attended. I think my head would explode spending 24 hours in a car driving instead of playing when the game first comes up.

Its about 15 hours if you do it right. I went form Tallahassee,FL to South East D.C. in about 15. IF my friend was with me it would have been done in 12.

As far as he Florida guy, I got a friend in Pensacola and myself and one other in Tallahassee now :)

Dude, don't say "groin slider" --  that's no way to refer to your mother

UPDATE

I did contact the team yesterday and got this reply back:

Things are moving along. We should have things worth showing fairly soon, made a great leap forward yesterday.

The thing is while it is quiet here - work is being done behind the scenes.
At this point this is how I feel


Or the Takarada version...

Regardless i remain cautiously optimistic.
So far so good. Onward and upward!
