Guild of Writers

This is a really exciting project, I'm having loads of fun just exploring (though I'd love the ability to write ages too! Same username over there).

My one pony request (that is probably not entirely reasonable) would be a way to in some way include images in worlds. I know, I know, this is text ...

Woohoo, moose-hunting!

The Starry Expanse also has less to worry about as far as spoilers go, since I bet almost everyone who's interested enough in the project to notice the Twitter feed has already played Riven.

Yeah--I'm sure that maintaining internal focus right now is more important than worrying about PR, but even a wordpress blog with the occasional tiny-and-obscured-screenshot or status update would be way better than a dead forum

I'm so glad to hear that Ilathid is coming along! With the forum dead, I'd feared the worst.

I remember (perhaps erroneously) a great feeling of creativity and love for the canon in the community, even though the possibility of a sequel was unknown and the books and games were finished stories. There was less ...

I'm sure I'm sounding like a broken record, but the texturing and just the overall feel of the stuff you're building is so great Can't wait to walk around in it!

Good point! It'd definitely be a way to hold myself to meeting the required features

Has anyone put together some kind of explorable environment intended for static (Riven-like) exploration but never got around to doing the programming to link the images together? I know that The Future TM is probably multiplayer realtime 3D awesomeness, but I'm playing around with making a toolkit ...

Just to get a mesh from one blend file to another, you don't need to export as obj. Look into the "append" command (if you import as an "object" rather than "mesh", iir,it should copy all relevant data that obj might not even be able to store). Unless you've already tried that and found an issue ...
