Fixed.
Not at all!! In my case, real life have litteraly taken the form of a real human being that has come to life 20 months ago. I love my son and he occupies most aspects of our life at the moment. And we're really far from considering him as a... problem
As for the doctor, he's been taking an appreciable part of our schedule now, thanks for mentioning it. Don't worry, the baby boy is really healthy. It's just that babies need regular checkups during their firsts few years, not that much, but still
And now for the sad part : I'm pretty sure that I will never finish any of the big missions that were considered as upcoming within this thread. Sorry.
N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-NEVER?!![]()
Just like to wish all the very best to you & your growing family, ROFB; of course you would both need & want to be completely involved with your son's development. Enjoy!
However;
this is really sad news - I must be far from the only one who has thoroughly enjoyed all of your missions, & keep them in my permanently stored FM collection. To definitely be replayed
(Still, there's been plenty of posts from Dromeders along the lines of once hooked on Dromed, always hooked on Dromed. So, who knows...)
That one's the icing on the cake...
HeheI really thought that was the correct spelling.
Fixed.
Ramirez's Old Fat Burrick: It's very sad to read you quit.
I loved Conspiracies in the Dark, and the sequel was high on my waiting list.
But thanks for giving us clarity. Have a great time with your wife and son!
I've been working on Love Story V for the past few weeks. I have some screenies of the initial work of Part 2. Linky![]()
Love Story V Part 1 (100% complete), Part 2-1 (100% complete), Part 2-2 (100% complete)
Looks like you're keeping the standard way up there, John - very classy series![]()
Yes indeed, those look lovely John!![]()
@Ramirez's Old Fat Burrick
My sincerest congratulations to you for your son, and my best wishes to you and your family.
As for your abandoned missions, well, if you never finish them, still my hearfelt thanks for those missions you have released, they have given me much entertainment, and are some of my all time favorite missions.And if one day you do decide to get back to Dromeding and release more missions, I will be patiently waiting however long you choose to take.
Again congatulations![]()

Just looked again on the list of upcoming missions - there are really some beauties coming! I can't wait to play some of them...
Still alive and kicking albeit very slowly, this is a major undertaking and in need of some desperate help, how long its going to take for any of it to hit the relese is anyones guess at the moment, episode 1 is fairly complete apart from a couple of frame bugs and the objectives, episode 2's archetecure is about 45% complete...and thats it for a 6 or 7 parter.

Thanks for the new update, Phantom! A bit of recent news on Rose Cottage - after I hit a big crash bug in May, I handed it back to Saturnine, who not only fixed it but is making tremendous progress on the mission, and he's going to own it for the duration. It's still probably several months away from being ready, though.
I just posted two new screenshots of Death's Cold Embrace in The Editor's Guild, so I may as well link to them here.

I love those clouds. Also, nice texture work on that gazebo.
Looking fantastic, Russ!![]()
Yeah; great sky! Looking very cool![]()
Some progress on Keeper Investigations 4-6 to report as well:
I had to take out mission 5 which was at about 25%...massive underwater explosions and underwater CamVators and other "crazy" things seem to be too much for DromEd
Therefor Keeper Investigations will be a 5 mission series as originally intended.
Without all those things that keep DromEd on crashing, mission 5 makes no sense and therefor I abandoned it.
However, mission 4 and 6 (now number 5 and the last one) are complete and I run through several tests on my own. I will start beta-testing them in the middle of august, since I have to learn for exams now. The time originally planed for mission 5 was used for minor fixes on the first 3 missions again, a lot of sound fixes, new weather in mission 2 and other minor improvements (double doors, object placement, texture alignment... ).
Ouch... Too bad 5th mission would fail.
Well, at least that means it would be out sooner!
Shame.![]()
