 Alright folks, last exam of the semester is over! Now I gotta clean up the last bits of mess here at my barrack, pack my bags and go back home and then pack all my other stuff for Norway.

I'm thinking about releasing the models, skins, animations and preliminary coding for WWD. The idea behind this is people asked me about volunteering to finish it up, but it needs all sorts of different stuff. So you'd have to organize it on your own who does what and so on. I know there are people out there who can do all the stuff I do, if only in parts. There are many different jobs that have to be done, simple coding, advanced behavior coding, zoopedias, translations, quality control and edits on the Theri anim set, rigging, rerigging to different node sets, making blinking skins etc.

But that release of material would be tied to conditions: No use may be made of any of the material until it is fully finished, possibly approved and released. That includes using stuff ingame to take pictures, making downloads based on the material or anything else that does not directly contribute to finishing it. The point is that this is not even a beta release, it is like giving you the tapes of the "Let it Be" sessions, and for anyone who doesn't know that story, it is a huge pile of material where only little bits work. So nobody should try to use it without the sole intention of contributing to finish it up for release.

I'd make the material available over the weekend if the response is positive. Opinions?

 Sounds like an excellent idea Hendrix, I can type up some ZooPedias in my free time for it.

 I wouldn't be of much help, however it may help if you have a list of exactly what animals need what? :P

Wonderful Idea! Can we send it to you when we finish whatever we do (it will be waiting for you when you come back)?

 I thought making it a dropbox folder where I add some of you as editors, you can add additional editors while I'm away. I'll see if I can wrap up a list.

I think this could be a great idea (it definitely helps to have multiple POV's), and I'd be anxious to see more of your works completed for sure!

However, I hope that every designer you choose to help will still be able to hold all of your creations up to the amazing standard that we have come to expect from a HENDRIX download (puzzles, cloning, working zoopedia, etc.)

Still, being as busy as you are, I think we can all understand you need some assistance. Good Luck!

 I am not Ravenna, the name is actually the name of my horse. I'm just a rather quiet member. I apologize for any confusion.

I saw a few of you a few posts back thinking that I was so I just thought I should clear that up.

No, we should be sorry for confusing you with Ravenna. You are not at fault.

If it was Ravenna, the join date would be very recent, but we overlooked that one important detail.

 I'd be happy to contribute basic coding for anything & everything related to WWD and/or to work with an advanced coder to get things up to snuff :)
