I was actually worried that Scythifuge’s ambitious project had ceased development, but according to this thread on the Exult forums, he is still plugging away at it whenever he can.

Of course, it hasn’t been easy, and he could use some help:

Well, life can be a pain. Many personal issues got in the way, and are now over, or resolved. Such is life. Though, now I am back to work on the project. It never died, though was worked on sporadically. I have much completed, and want to show. I am thinking of creating a Facebook page, just for the ease of comments, photo uploading, and possibly attracting people to the project.

Since starting back up, I have what I want for mountain textures. All I have to do is create some seamless walls, and I can create either a bunch of shots, or an actual demo.

Honestly, the lack of help is a big part of the delay. I can draw, but if people could take what i have done and do the leg work of turning it into seamless textures, that would save a lot of time. I have enough assets to create some kind of demo. I just lack the time to create multiple frames of everything, and the technical expertise to create anything playable. As it is, I will continue to work on it to at least one day make the world map with all of the objects placed, since I have been compelled to do so these last few years.

He has since gone on to create that Facebook page, which will serve as the de facto development website for the project from now on. I’ve updated the project entry to reflect the change.
