Merlin's IMERION progress
IMERION progress by Merlin

Here are detailed information on what has been done on IMERION during the last few days:

- Yesterday we added "hot chair" (multiplayer at one PC) support to the already existing network support. Internet will hopefully follow soon...

- I started to make photos of the heroes, yesterday I took the pictures of the dwarf hero.

-Today I added music support for modules (.IT). The intro music is already composed (thanx Fishstix :-)).

I´ll release original size pictures of 5 units (one of each folk) soon on the Imerion page.

And last but not least something totally different:
Bud the fish released PONG II v1.2.

Scythe Interactive
The QB programming group known as Scythe Interactive has closed down. They didn't have much involvement in the actual scene but they did have some products and projects going. So we are sorry to see them go.

They left this on there website:
Due to the tragic passing away of one of our members, SI is no more. A link in our chain of friends is missing and we do not wish to continue as a group anymore.

Although being together since 1996, we have been virtual unknowns in the QB Community. As we depart, we would like to leave what has been done of our now final project, SC2. We thank everyone who has ever helped us and we wish you all the best of luck in whatever the future may hold.

V Planet Stifled by US Election
In what is sort of unrelated news, V Planet! will now update sometime today. The reason V Planet was not able to update earlier is because members of the V Planet crew are interested in the outcome of the US election, and have been using both the Internet and TV/Cable networks to view results and actively participate in the MSNBC chatrooms.

Note that V Planet Entertainment writer HotTaco is guilty of stopping by MSNBC Election chatrooms every now and then and cheering for Buchanan or Nader to somehow miraculously come out on top in the Florida recount.
