We have a new look for our homepage and a new goal for the project. Here's the rundown...
Countdown to the AwakeningThe project has committed itself to releasing something public & playable by December 24th, 2011. It will be a single-player story that introduces the player to the basic game mechanics of Shadowrun: Awakened. We hope to excite players with this demo, showing them what's possible. At the same time, this is a great way to show technical progress with what we have on hand. Further details on how to acquire the demo will be forthcoming. Visit the
Countdown to the Awakening forum thread for more details.

We Need Your Help!If you're an artist or programmer who has gone dormant on the project and has the time to come back, please go to the
Development Log forum and either post on your thread or start a new one to let us know you can help. We will marshal you welcome you back with open arms and marshal you toward the December goals. In the next 5 months, we'll especially need modelers, riggers, animator, and texture artists. Please spread the word to anyone you know who can also help.
YouTube ChannelThe project has created a
Shadowrun: Awakened YouTube Channel to help share videos of progress on the project. We've received a very positive response from the community and it visualizing progress opens the eyes of fans in a new way. Watch the
SOTA July 2011 video for a full rundown of features implemented in the UDK. We'll continue with monthly video previews.
