As we prepare for our summer release, the team is madly running around trying to finish stuff up. Given the recent outburst of forum posts about the game's progress, here's a quick summary of the work that's left to do.

Artwork: 87% done Level 3 animations and marine animations, one or two marine Structures, shotgun skin, welder skin, some weapon world models.

Business & legal: 90% done Purchase a few licenses, finalize trademark.

Coding: 92% done Many bug fixes, nicer projectiles, better software and D3D compatibility, record game, server performance, tutorial/help.

Design and balance: 95% done This will continue to evolve, but is essentially good enough as it is.

Maps: 93% done Level 5 alien movement issues, some lighting issues.

PR and community: 91% done Ability to handle increased traffic on site and forums, PR blitz, potential trailer.

Sound design: 95% done Voice-overs needed, a few minor sound tweaks.

World and manual: 80% done Online manual needs to be finished, and layed out.

Website: 85% done Update screenshots section, add a new introduction or other cinematic piece, potential facelift.

If you notice a lack of updates or screenshots, this is the reason. Please be patient as the team buckles down and tries to finish making the game you always wanted to play...
