At the moment there are two teams within us, as well as all the solo projects going on at the mo. NOH3DEE: NELSON SANTOS/MARK NAYLOR/CHRIS WALLACE These guys are working on a strategy/action/war style game called HIDDEN CONFLICTS and there are some talented people working on it!!!. Their website is within the Eclipse site, at our address at the bottom of this post.......... TEAM ASYLUM: MARC LAMBERT/ANDREW MURRAY/MATT VERRAN This is the team that I am responsible for.......We have (to be completely honest) have stopped production of the Yaroze version, due to our inclusion in the GamesWire competition due to the need to enter a PC product.....HOWEVER.........There will be, not only a Yaroze/PSX version, BUT it will also be a FULL version of the game - complete with a very cool 3D sniper level and all!!!! SOLO PROJECTS: First Up I'll start with Chris Wallace....as you can see from his above post, he is working on a top-view racer style games called DRUM'n'RACE. I have seen and played this project and it is looking very cool----look out for it soon!!!!!! Next comes Andrew 'MAX' Murray who is working with ASYLUM (where are those damn trees dude!!!! :-))))) ) he is also working on the 'Top SECRET' MANaJET, which does promise to be very advanced for the Yaroze!!!!! (Sorry man If I've plugged you a bit too much!!!!) Nelson 'ROGUE' Santos is currently working on a conversion of the Amiga game LOGICAL, and it is very addictive, I still play it constantly (Damn you!!!!) It is in a advanced stage of the project, expect it soon!!!!! Matt Verran is working on a VERY TOP SECRET game, which even I haven't yet seen, but I know from experiance how good he is with technical issues within the Yaroze (especially special effects), so look out for his game soon!!!!!!! Aaron Gandaa is working on a 3D robot Demo......judging by his previous work, I think it will be something special!!!!!! John Wojcik is currently working on DOGFIGHT which he has written a framework structure for......... Steven Lewis hopes to enter the GamesWire comp as soon as his exams finish-----good luck dude!!!!! Nathan Miller has a very cool idea for some 3D work with the Yaroze, which hopefully we will see some results from soon....... Last, but no means least, Steve Tolin/Darco are both VERY busy with non-Yaroze stuff, but hope to get back to business when they can!!!!!! NOW, I hope that this message proves that the whole idea of how Eclipse Software functions. There are two things I'd like to mention::::::::: 1: IF the Yaroze newsgroups ever come to a complete shutdown, I still would like to continue hosting them somewhere else, if anyone is behind me on this, now is the time to say!!!!! 2: ALTHOUGH my team (Team ASYLUM) is entering the gameswire comp, THIS DOES NOT MEAN that we are stopping Yaroze work, in fact I PROMISE that at every opportunity we get, we will plug the YAROZE scene as much as we can.................. At the end of this LLLLLOOOONNNNGGGGGGG message, there are a few shout-outs....... MATT VERRAN>>>>> Thanx for keeping all the Eclipse members up to date with the Newsletter, it has been a VERYYYYY big help man!!!!!!! TEAM PARC>>>>>>> It's good to know that you guys are still running, I do hope we both can continue................. SCOTT WARD>>>>>> My partner in crime//the main reason for Eclipse Software.... I wish you all the luck with your 'personal venture' I am always here if you need it buddy!!!!!!!
