We thought we"d take some time to update everyone to the current status of
Project Fullmoon. Project Fullmoon, for those that do not know, is the name we have given to our current overhaul offline. This includes the re-writing of the whole site, creation of several new areas and general enhancements to easy navigation, information and have some vistor participation. Due to the shear size that our website currently is, this was always going to be a massive tasks, with both of us finding that we had an ever increasing workload in our jobs, the updates have suffered and so the projects release has been delayed. At the moment work is still progressing and many areas are complete. After a poll on our Message Board
Sake Comments we decided to follow everyones wishes and keep the update launch until we have complete all the aspects that we planned originally. The list grew substantially as new ideas began to form, and that has continued even now (sorry everyone we know we said we"d stopping adding more to the list). We are still hoping for a Mid to late March re-launch of the site with our new steamlined code and extra features.

The Transforce 2004 website was updated 6 days ago saying that the venue will be announced within the next 7 days. So, head on over to
www.transforce.org.uk tomorrow to see when and where the event will be taking place.
With
Auto Assembly coming under in under two months (take a look at the top right of our site for the counter), its nice to hear of another UK convention being updated. OTFCC Europe 2004, is still expected to be sometime in the Autumn and that any announcements will not be made until after OTFCC 2004 in the States. This is
not official, just what is expected.

Brand new jigsaws created for the CD. These all feature stunning artwork, much of which is by Pete Billingham (Draven) and will all feature CD-quality audio! The music is in the final stages of licencing!
Screensavers
A selection of screensavers from our various websites, and possibly some brand new ones for the disc.
Fanzines
A mix of sci-fi titles, all as PDF files.

Fan 2 Fan and
Snakas" Autobase Aichi both have reports up on the Wonder Festival. Primal Prime was also attending the event and is expected to have his report, images and movie files up in the next few days. As predicted by ourselves back in November the Unicron toy from the end of Armada has been made. He is the lucky Draw Shining Unicron and is reportedly limited to just 10 pieces, though normally these toys are used for other conventions later in the year. You can see the picture
