HELLOW! And Merry Christmas/Day-After-Jul to all!!!
The release I'd planned for today is not in fact ready, but I think it's going to be a special enough day without it. Hopefully that thing will be ready soon. First of all, hope everyone's making the best of the season, whether you're able to be here at the forum or not. We do have some presents for you, though, now or when you get back. 
First off! Did you think I'd forgotten about JPDS?
In fact I was trying to work on something in the meantime but decided (once again) that JPDS1 needed to take precedence (also because of how large the side-project became). I have certainly gone through a LOT, personally, since that last developer journal... and most of that time was in fact not spent on anything vaguely about JPDS. I have gotten back on it, though, and I'm not going to reveal too much but here is your own look at the latest from JPDS1. Enjoy.
In other news, .........What WAS that viral stuff about? Well you don't get to find out and you will have to wait much longer than I'd originally thought. Suffice it to say, it's going to be unlike anything you've seen in Tres, a much "smaller" and more manageable project compared to the vision for JPDS, will be worked further on only after JPDS1 is released, and you would know the name of it by now if you thought to extract the SWP of the scrambled level I released.
Anyway!
The other major news of the day is that Mickey has started a new Trespasser forum, to be eventually accompanied by a new website, called Tresgame. This is the name of a site he once tried to start many years ago but ultimately abandoned, and has now decided to take up again. I have personally designed the forum's architecture - with NO subforums, which should work now and continue to work because 1) there aren't thousands of topics to organize 2) I think this preliminary organization will help keep things pretty well findable, for the foreseeable future. I have based the concept and names of the forum sectioning on Trespasser itself; visiting the Tresgame forums will be like actually stepping into Isla Sorna itself and going around to different places on the island to discuss and do various things. There are a lot of very interesting things to discuss over there, so what are you waiting for?

Drac out! And please be good to your Christmas tree - it's not quite dead yet.
Good set of pics!
Perhaps sometime after release (or along with it?), I can more thoroughly describe what was made by who.
