Hello all, just been busy at work here, had to basically recreate the entire main website, the Abaddon website, and the lwolf.net websites, all from scratch!
Thanks guys, good to know you like the animation. Basod, don't worry, I will be releasing a demo soon (although it won't be beta, it will be pre-alpha!)
Basically it will serve as a tech-demo, I am hard at work programming away. I have all the art assets I need to have a fully functioning demo, the only thing left is to create the glue that will hold all those disparate parts together!
Yeah, at one point in time I had to make it so I manually activated any accounts because spammers were flooding the MySQL databases so much it was bringing the whole website offline. I would go through and delete their spam but then (and I am talking just a few hours later) they would have filled up my whole database with their Viagra ads.
But now that I am running ReCAPTCHA as my CAPTCHA, it would seem that the spammers are stymied, for the time being anyway. So, the end result of all of this is that you don't need to activate your accounts to post and hopefully the spam flood has been restrained for the time being.

Doh! Got beaten to the first post. (smiles).
Aye, the animation looks wicked. Can't wait until the game (or beta demo) comes out!
Love the animation!
