The site is beginning a major reconstruction!  Bear with us while we convert everything.  Thanks very much to FranzRogar and James K for the design the new site will be based on.  Let us know what you think at the FORUM!

25 February  05

We've begun a new game engine design, using a platform independent development environment.  We have some study involved, testing if the program we're using will suit our needs.  If so, Mac and Linux users will be able to play the game, which is a big plus.  We'll keep you posted!.

10 February  05

Modified the site logo.  We're preparing for some hardcore advertising, and the logo just wouldn't be the same without the official title.  We're also developing some banner ads, which you can see at the new Link To Us page(Still Under Construction).  Take a look!

6 month anniversary of The 7th Guest III project!  It's been a slow start, but we're steadily gaining support, increasing members, and continually making progress.  Here's to future success!

8 January  05

Member TinklePit has been assigned to write the new script.  With his vast knowledge of adventure games, TP should be able to give us an excellent script.

Member Bones is hard at work on 3d modeling the mansion and other environments in the game.  Bones' past work is excellent, and he should be able to make an amazing setting for the game.

Good news: we've received word from Rob Landeros, cocreator of the original games and owner of the 7th Guest copyrights.  He has ok'd our game as long as we're solely nonprofit.  Take a look at the about page for more details.  Also, here is a link to Landeros' current company, Aftermath Media.
