For this who missed last night's meeting for TMJ, two big items were revealed:

1. Old Man Skunk, everyone's favorite Metamucil champion, has taken on sprite form. A simple demo is available here (clickable to change direction). (It is on 3DSPaint.com but can be viewed by any of the browsers.) Since most of the original sprites from two years ago were later found to have been stolen from RPG Maker by the "artists", I've decided to make the sprites for TMJ bigger than those ones - preventing further piracy by anyone who contributes artwork.


2. Sprites for other characters (Jasper, Hockfin, Brenda, Helmer, Hoedr, etc.) will be drawn from long-time members of this community! The list so far is:

Jasper Olmar, the teen foundling
- HullBreach
Jasper (as a child)
- ???
Jasper's father, the farmer
- Commander
Jasper's mother, the farmer
- SavantInamorata
Thief #1
- ???
Thief #2
- ???
Hockfin
- ???
Brenda, the elven princess
- Kawaii Yuki
Minco, the tribal hunter
- Our old pet fox, Minco
Buford, the snow giant
- Haruspex
Andren Olmar, the miner
- ???
Helmer, the traveling shopkeeper
- ???
Hoedr, the blind Norse god
- ???
Yorick, the blacksmith
- ???
Various villagers, and numerous others...
- ???

Members who have not been associated with characters so far are Mr. Lord Zeus, JavaWocky, MysticalZoey, MetalHeart, Vermillion, Gleeok. More members will be asked as the game roster expands. If you are sending me photos to be sprited, be sure that they are of decent quality. I have been receiving photos captured at arm-length that only show half the face and ones that are in such poor lighting conditions that I can't tell any details.

We will be regrouping next Friday at 8:00pm EST(GMT-5:00) to determine who will be on the development team. This weekend, I will complete the new Groups features to allow for multi-pages. This will facilitate better display of details for TMJ development.
