Our dev Fred, AKA U2WillDie, had a little fun last night. Guy driving a pickup decided stop lights weren't something he had to pay attention to.
He's mostly okay, broken eye socket - not good, but something he can survive. His car's totaled. Now, he works for Uber to make ends meet, so he's out of work till he gets something to run, so... well, he's asking for a little help.
He's our level designer and AI specialist. You've seen a lot of his work - anything involving combat tends to have something by him.

Keep his Christmas merry - he's got a wife and family to support, and every little bit helps.
Thank you for listening.

Oh FFS. End already, 2016.
Hope the bus insurance stuff is working, WC.

This. So this.
Hang in there Fred! Hopefully if we all chip in we can have you rolling again in no time!
To MWM: is that a new video or is my memory going? And is that CoT in progress, or just testing concepts in UE4?
Spurn all ye kindle.
New video. Each piece of the final game is built independently, so we can get them debugged. That is specifically the animation and reaction engine.

Looks good. I noticed the reactions in particular.
Spurn all ye kindle.

Ok, that type of information is VERY helpful to us laymen.
When I first watched the vid I thought, "ok, looks like things are progressing a little, good". Then, after I read your answer to Cinnder's question and understood the context and specifically what to look for, I watched it again and realized it is a really exciting video!
And thanks for all you do, Fred, it's deeply appreciated. Heal up and we'll pitch in and help out as much as we can.
FIGHT EVIL! (or go cause trouble so the Heroes have something to do.)
Thanks for all of the support!

So, Fred, what's your plan? Is this to buy a new car? Any insurance coverage? I'm assuming it'll be months before you see anything (if anything) from the guy in the truck.
[i]Has anyone seen my mind? It was right here...[/i]
Plan is to get back on the road as soon as possible. Insurance claims have been filed. A car is the primary goal and I also need help with bills until I can get back on the road. Again thanks for any and all support it is very much appreciated.

Just giving this a bump in case people missed it during the holidays.

Well nice to hear you are doing better Fred and I hope you get back on the road again very soon.

Personal rules of good roleplay
1.) Nothing goes as planned.
2.) If it goes as planned it's not good RP
When did you guys update the "Welcome to Titan City" tab? Alexandria and Aurora areas are up and well fleshed out. Great job. I like that this is going to be a city with a rich living history with so many nuggets to use as seeds for missions and plots.
Keep them coming!
[hr]I like to take your ideas and supersize them. This isn't criticism, it is flattery. I come with nothing but good will and a spirit of team-building. If you take what I write any other way, that is probably just because I wasn't very clear.
Around Thanksgiving. Have several more areas prepped to go up, just haven't had the time to finish the artwork.

Maybe you could post this on the MWM or CoT Facebook pages? Or the front page of this website? As it is it's kind of hidden away in this one forum topic.
Aye, at least till he gets his replacement vehicle. It might help get more contributions.
