Me and a friend of mine at work laughed when we saw them yesterday, so it's all good. He was the one who told me to look over here as he follows each one of my work logs. He was the "birdie." :D

In fact, I looked right at him and said: "It's time for me to get back to work." :D

On a serious note, I do thank you guys for your enthusiasm and continued support. Believe me when I say that it does help. It sort of eases the pressure of me sometimes feeling like it's me against the world in finishing this project. Reading all the supportive words from people inspires me to keep going.

Thanks, everyone. I've reserved time to work on refleXion over the weekend and hope to have an update soon. :up:

you know, one other thing that helps the enthusiasm, at least for me in my worklog - I've noticed that people really do read it, even if they're not always commenting. Typically if I post a question or an idea and ask for feedback, I get it very quickly. I've looked on several different forum sites, and I think aside from bit-tech this one seems to be by far the most active. Haven't posted anything on bit-tech, so I'm not sure exactly how it compares to here. I know if you're looking for overall enthusiasm, TBCS can't be beat! Looking forward to updates on this one!

Hey! who said you chould fall to the second page? Get back up there.

LUL! Shameless bumping!

Truly great work there! +rep Inspiring me to start modding again. (Just need a workshop)

Hello, TBCS. :)

I just wanted to provide a status update since I've been away for a while.

There's no "pretty" way to put this, so I'll just say it.

First off, refleXion is still in progress. I am not delaying or discontinuing the build, although it's become clear that my timeframe of end of May isn't going to happen. It's looking more like end of June or possibly July.

With that said, the reason things have been delayed is because I've ran into some financial difficulties that have caused me to change the path of the build a bit by downgrading some parts. I'll be documenting what's been changed as soon as the new parts come in.

Let me just say that the core theme of refleXion hasn't changed, and I truly feel that after it's complete (and it WILL be completed, eventually) that this change won't detract from the identity of the build at all. In fact, my belief is that this change will actually improve the overall aesthetics (I will be explaining how when the new parts get here) by quite a bit. This, however, was not the sole motivation for the change in parts.

Will the build be a little less 'epic' after this change in relation to hardware? Probably. But sometimes, sacrifices must be made based on real life circumstances, and I simply don't have the budget at this time to keep dumping as much money into refleXion as I have for the past 4, 5, 6 months.

Lastly, this "change" in hardware is only going to delay things by a week or so beyond the original timeline, so there won't be a waiting game that seems to extend on forever. I'm hoping that everything will go off to paint by end of June.

I'm headed to the beach over the weekend and so I won't have time to work on the build much. Because of this, I'm going to share my last update which was never posted since there's been a famine of updates lately. The update doesn't show as much progress as I would like, but it will clue you guys into some of the latest work that's been done. I'll try to have this on here tonight. If not, some time tomorrow.

-Michael

Sorry to hear about your financial problems. I hope you get those worked out without issue.
