Ladies, gents, join me in welcoming the newest (and only other) member of (Team SoW). Zach, aka Collywobbles. Zach is a skilled artist and talented illustrator, his official title in the team is (El Artiste Numero Uno), or Art Director.

We both agree that collaboration over the course of development is better than me simply purchasing a few illustrations. So Zach's role in SoW covers all things artistic, with his help the game will be that much more thematic, artistically consistent and visually rich. From guis and modeling to character concepts and the slideshows I am using instead of cutscenes, Zach will be working closely with me to develop all of these. After some lengthy, cut-throat negotiations, I wrangled Zach into agreeing to work for moldy crusts of bread and all the floggings he desires.

In fact we've been collaborating for over a week now, squeezed in around the time pressures at work. The man is a dynamo, I've struggled to keep up while juggling the stupid real-life crap. You guys cannot see it but there is a special section of the SoW forums for (Team SoW) to brainstorm in, to play with concepts and discuss ideas, it's been a flurry of activity recently despite the rest of the forum being slightly dead, heh. Think of is as a super secret clubhouse, membership restricted. I tell you about it because I'm a great big tease, it's really awesome, you'll just have to trust me.
