:love: Whoa! Good luck Dogma I will be keeping my eyes open for your art work. You have some pretty big shoes to fill. You have a knack and great eye! Love your art

Thanks, I am still hoping for someone to step up to the plate and fill the leadership position :). There is already so much work done on the project that it would be a shame to let it all go to waste. Else I might simply try to create some stills images using the material done so far, so everyone has something final to put in their portfolio.

I have also had a long and helpful chat session with Soft Distortion yesterday about project management. We had a discussion about our future plans, and about collaboration management. It was already good to hear that he was very enthousiastic about my new plans. So yeah, I will definetly want to work together with a lot of people from around the collab forum again :D.

I have not had any contact with Dene for a while. The last thing I heared from him was that he was working hard on his graphic design skills (which we’re going quite well), and I think he also wanted to follow an education in that direction. I have not seen him on msn for months now, but I do have his deviantart (http://skm-industries.deviantart.com/). I will send him a message, see if he is up for it.

Hi all :slight_smile:

I know I’ve been away for at least a year, and I now only return as the bearer of doom.

It’s with a sad heart that I am announcing the end of this project.

Aegis:2375 started life over 3 years ago as a mere idea in my head, over the following 2 years I developed it to a point where I decided I needed to start making the dream a reality.

So, I posted here, on CGtalk.
After a brief slow start, things got moving faster than I ever thought possible, people became interested, people joined the project and we, as a team, began making the idea a reality.

The ‘core’ team, at least from the start where I was truly involved are: Myself, Victor (DogmaD) Mark (Element5) and Albert (MaxFX). We got things moving pretty swiftly, with some awesome concept art based on my sketches and marks talented imagination, and also that of Victor, who turned out consistent quality, Albert produced some eye-popping renders and was also kind enough to host the first Aegis team forum.

After a while and a few Gigabytes of content, the project came under the direction of Victor as I was simply not a project leader.

All turned over happily for a while, then I encountered a major life change, I lost my connection for about 3 months and I just didn’t have time for Aegis.

Victor continued to do an amazing job at the helm; the project went from strength to strength.
But, as with all things, individual situations change, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. As time passed, the project slowed as a result of real-world commitments

And so I’m here again, years on, announcing the end of something wonderful. But, it has to be done, both myself and Victor have too many real-world commitments to dedicate ourselves to Aegis, personally, I’ve had too many commitments for the past year to do more than look in from time-to-time.

I’d love to be able to take the reigns, but sadly, as I said, I just don’t have the time.

So, I’ll finish by saying a big THANKYOU to CGtalk for simply existing in its glory and providing both myself, and the team of Aegis:2375 with a place to meet, talk and make friends. I’d also like to thank everyone who contributed to the project in any way, be it with content, suggestions or promotion.

Perhaps one day I’ll use all that I have made for something, perhaps not, but hell, at least we tried!

Strangely, I’m not too sad, this has gone far further than I could have imagined, the response has been amazing, and along the way I’ve met some wonderful and extremely talented people, whom I hope will go on to make themselves as big as they clearly deserve!

Much love

Dene Walker
