Story Progress

I've been slowly progressing with the story. The original that I wrote takes place before this, but didn't really meet our needs for a game. Thus, I'm pushing the story ahead about 250 years, which means that I need to make considerable adjustments to the state of the Helix Stars. All four playable races have been officially locked in, but they will not be announced for a while yet. There is still substantial work to be done on classes, and we lack a concept artist which are needed at the earliest stages of development.

In the meantime, work is being done on the website and levels are being planned and developed in conjunction with game mechanics. We have a physics programmer, so that should streamline the inclusion of destructible environments and the like. Our modeler is currently hard at work making objects for map population, so I would say development on Firestorm is well underway at this point.
