Little_Dragon, I wish that it was "normal pants and sandals"! (Not for artistic reasons, but I have more of those models in my libraries.) Lemurtek had the right back feet, but you had prettier tails, and VistaInternet had a Boar and Elk for the faces of the other two protagonists. I didn't have time to chop and spawn, and I have never welded organic body parts together into a new mesh, so just layered figures making most of each invisible. Massive parenting problems... before dressing. At least medieval clothing is baggy. Sigh. I hope that he chooses the one with the portraits. (They are from the game itself, I just expanded upon them.) The world has Wildcats and Wolves and Ferrets and such, who all got time in the spotlight. We didn't do much with the Bear tribe and I don't think the Rams made an appearance... and next time, Rhene gets to do more!... as a storyteller I think there is a lot more exploring we can do, and questions we can ask. (What are the Rats really doing with all that information they are gathering? As the 'Morphs stumble upon more and more Human artifacts, how will they utilize the discoveries? Wisely and well? Or did we give them our weaknesses when we gave them voices and hands?) World-building is so much fun! I didn't know about Poser when we designed this. Modeling a ferret or two and using morphs and clothes to get an entire village just makes so much more sense! With Mimic 2 around the corner, we can take that into consideration, as well. One of the strengths of the game was the voice work and I'd love to see how it would fit together with improved technologies. Maybe a richer and more rewarding experience as we get closer to the involvement found in movies, but we still need to keep the "play" factor with choices, and discovery, and risk and reward. However, the sequel will have to wait until we see how much interest there is out there. Thank you for spreading the word through your associates (and for thinking that it deserves a sequel). If people look at ITE and nudge Joe with a comment or three, it will probably happen... and people who want to see foxes and ferrets and wolves running a world will be a lot happier. :) Carolly
