Portalarium have released a video walkthrough, with commentary from the Richard Garriott, of Shroud of the Avatar in its current state. The game is looking remarkably good for six months of work, and vastly better than it did even three months ago:

We get a nice look at player housing, crafting (of course), combat, and several other game features in the course of the video’s half an hour. I’ll give it a more thorough watch tomorrow, time permitting, and grab some choice screenshots. For now, enjoy!
