The update - Immhotep's bullitin

Hello, I’m finally doing my own update to the 'genesis blog' and well it’s been a busy few weeks and its going to be busy for the next while I suspect too. So what’s been up, firstly were in the middle of our season's first half, we’ve had mixed opinions but overall were positive, our download record is better than we could have hoped (over 450 downloads so far!). Let’s just say, it’s been a great few weeks for us, and we thank you all.

Now for some bad news, our staff writer Harry martin (captainpash) has been put out of action due to a broken elbow, this thankfully will not affect Genesis's writing too much, he has completed all episodes that will be released in the near future; we all will surely miss him being around and hope he gets well soon.

Now for some episode updates:
Mirage: Mirage will be our Nox episode, and will also see the introduction of our sixth regular character, the alteran child Pelion. This episode is completed.


Convergence: Convergence is our action hero episode, lots of drama and tension, but also very emotion filled episode, one of my favourite episodes yet in all honesty. This episode is completed.


Forecast: Forecast will be the 'teams' first real mission, in the sense our team will be exploring, adventuring and interacting like a true SG team for the first time. Written by Harry Martin this was actually the first episode we completed, hope you enjoy it.

Lessons from a frozen paradise: This episode is going to be a corker, time travel, space battles, flashbacks, technology, alien races, emotion, drama, and character development. Its going to be a great episode by the looks of it, co-written by both Patricia Stewart and James Pope it is currently a WIP.

Also for the aforementioned Lessons we shall be releasing a gallery of art work, that shall accompany the episode, these drawing should (if all goes to plan) involve pictures of the ark, of the time device, of alien ships and other technology yet to feature in SGG.

Website; Ah yes our website, we have long known that our website is an Achilles heel, however in the near future that will be no more, A brand new website is in development for Genesis that will bring our series back to 100%, we expect it to be done within the first half of our season, hopefully the first episode release on the will be lesson, and the concept art be loaded up on to the new site ASAP for you all to browse.

What’s next? - good question, well as I’ve said, the website is at the moment my most anticipated feature, however episode will come first, were already going through our second half of the season in preparation for writing (including my own debut episode), and even planning episodes for our second season (yes we think that far ahead!); above and beyond websites and episodes. Well at the moment I’m writing a series of mini guides to our genesis universe, which should give a little added depth to it, these feature will not give spoilers to episode but more like the omni-pedia is, an extra resource to have.

Well that’s all from me at the moment, ill be posting on GW, SGU and our own genesis forum whenever they call and I hope to hear from all of the readers of Genesis, with comments, feedback, reviews and the like whenever you wish to give it.
