Folks,

Greetings all! It’s been a great week here at CSE. As you may know, our P.A.T. #1 went extremely well, and we continue to knock out card/OS issues while moving forward both on the technical side of things as well as on the creative side. For those Alpha Backers that were unable to participate in the last two weeks of testing our engine build, I hope you will be able to join us this upcoming week!

I’m pleased to announce that the Checklist for second P.A.T. is now online here. Like its predecessor, it is a nice, fat, and juicy list that even includes some of the items that Backers were asking about on our Forums. As you can see, we have made a lot of progress on the list already, because we started working on this list immediately after we successfully completed the first P.A.T. list.

Like its predecessor, we aren’t announcing an expected completion time for this P.A.T. list. OTOH,  based on the progress we have made to date, I think it is safe to say that we expect this list to be completed before the end of the year. BTW, this doesn’t represent all the items on our Internal P.A.T. list, and these items are subject to change over the course of this P.A.T. So don’t be surprised if the list changes and expands before it is completed.

As to other studio efforts, we are also putting the finishing touches on this month’s newsletter. Next week will bring the first look at the final concepting for some heavy armor sets for the Tuatha Dé Danann Realm as well as the Bean Sidhe. I hope you will agree that Michelle and Sandra hit the ball out of the Court for this milestone.

Depending on how the rest of the day progresses, we might have a full update today, but if not, we will have one early next week.So, just to be safe, have a great weekend all!

P.S. The construction in our studio is almost finished! Hopefully painting will be done within two weeks, and we can then finally clean things up a bit. We’ll post a video when everything is completed.
