NEWS!
6/28/12:
Been laying low for awhile. Heres what I've been up to.
I am stilllll working on Osgiliath. Ive been fine tuning a few points before its ready to go. I've added a few new cutscenes at Minas Tirith, and Minas Morgul! Their purpose is to introduce the character of the Witch-king, aka the Lord of the Nazgul.
Ive decided after much debate and lack of success in the editor, that I will make that boss battle a cutscene. Its too elaborate of a system to make that will actually result in an engaging battle sequence btw Gandalf and the pursuing Nazgul.
So, much like the Balrog in Moria, I think this one should be a cutscene. But to balance this out, I've added more action to the battle itself.
I have also been a little distracted by the start of yet another scenario, `The Passing of the Grey Company`
Also I've pretty much finished `Helms Deep` and I'm just missing the climactic charge of the Rohirrim at the end.
My goal is to have Osgiliath ready for playtesting asap. Until then, enjoy some screenshots!

I strayed out of thought and time. Stars wheeled overhead and everyday was as long as a life-age of the earth. But it was not the end. I've been sent back until my task is done...
... I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide.
