Congratulations Dalte89 on joining the team! From now on, Dalte89 will now be working with the FX tool to create amazing particles and effects. Welcome to the team!

First off, I'd like to apologize for not updating as often as I should. There has been a lot of progress behind the scenes lately, and in return, a few nasty bugs have popped up which has prevented me from doing a few things. Now that most of these nasty bugs have disappeared, I say it's time for a proper update! Ever since Dalte89, joined the team, our graphical progress has been moving very swiftly. We've seen astonishing explosions, beautiful transformation effects, extraordinary beams, and incredible looking dust. Unfortunately, most of those aren't ready for the public eye yet. So, today, you will be taking a glance at the brand new Spirit Bomb! For those with good eyes, you might catch a few more effects that Dalte has been working on, too! Note that the Spirit Bomb is heavy WIP. Enjoy!

Over the past few months, ESF's newest modeler, Final Shine has been working on a brand new map: Roshi. Once Final Shine was assigned to this map, we knew that the map would look absolutely superb. Seeing as how this is being made by Final Shine and with the new mapping technique, we knew it would look amazing. Please note that this is still work in progress and the final product will look even more amazing!

We are still looking for FX and Environment artists! If you're interested or would like more info, be sure to take a glance at our recruitment thread!

Well, that's all for now. See you guys next week!
