Hey quietrob, can I adopt part of your name? quietEro :D
yeah nothing much happened with PE in the meanwhile except for some morphs / FBMs I needed for the comic. Small updates can be seen below. I'm waiting for Poser11 to come out and then I'm going to be drawing up some battle plans (and this time it might actually work because apparently the new Poser is 'badass'!). I think I mentioned this before but I need to improve the mesh here and there, emplace a new head, redo the UVs, JCMs, and then make a tonne of FBMs and options. Poser's improvements should iron out a bunch of issues I've been having with rigging / JCM control / conforming stuff and copying morphs. Most importantly, to make PE market-worthy, Poser has apparently / finally made it dead-easy to make INJ files!!! BIG game changer for me! If they also work with JCMs is another story but I have support for that.
Wires, yep, like RorrKonn said, check my blog. Figure res, a bit higher than V4. Face / hands / gens are slightly denser, back of head / torso / shins are slightly less dense, and don't forget, the integrated gens will add quite a few polys (like Lali's Bits would). It should be possible to provide a gen-less version for the sake of cutting the polycount. I won't post a number just yet because things might change with the improved mesh, but yeah its higher than V4 at the moment. Reason: I wanted hires for myself, its just a specialist art figure (I don't do games and stuff like that). If Poser really proves itself this time round, I might make a second lo-res figure. We'll see because I still have to make comics.
Speaking of comics and PE, I just released a free comic on Rotica. There you can see Project E at work. However there are different versions of project E in that comic. All the main girls are an older rig (started posing before the update), except for Roxanna, Rebecca, and Lali in the living room, who are the updated version. The difference is mainly the shoulder rigs.
Anyway, thanks for being patient. Please stick around because when the time comes, I'm going to have a BOATLOAD of questions to ask you guys about preferences for rigging. If you're an experienced vendor, and you're interested, please email me: erogenesis.art AT gmail.com and let me know why you're interested, what you've done before, and if you wanna help out with stuff.
Cheers guys!
PS: please remember, I'm not doing anything drastic until Poser 11 comes out. Their new tech should solve a number of issues!

If the vendor wouldn't mind...updates! A bit ago, I subscribed to a thread for a saddle from a beehive of minds that worked from Dawn to Dusk and each time a render came out it built more excitement and I think, helped motivate the vendor as well.
