Update...

OK, here's the skinny:

My hard drive crashed, and I lost the script for Retaliation's final episode. On top of that, still no luck with finding talented Radiant mappers. With classes starting back up again, and with me not wanting to end up relapsing and blowing my brains out trying to work the finale in between everything else, it looks like Retaliation is on indefinite hold. Because of the amount of time between releasing episodes 7 and 8, I was kicking around an idea to make a feature length COD 4 machinima out of the Retaliation storyline - but considering the amount of work that would take as well, it's just an idea at this point. So one way or the other, it seems there won't be anything from the series for the remainder of the new year.

Besides that, I finished shooting two 20 - 30 minute long World at War movies, each following the Marine and Russian campaigns respectively. It's not just a straightforward play by play of single player though, and even the unedited/un-color corrected footage I've got right now is easily some of the best visual work I've done in machinima. Period.

That's pretty much it - keep an eye out for those videos, and that tutorial when I get around to rewriting it.

Take it easy all.
