And here are the screenshots I have promised! We're moving along quite comfortably. As I stated earlier, expect a patch sometime soon.

Hey, we're still alive and kicking. I'll have another screenshot post up sometime this week as we've successfully hacked chapters 1-10 at the moment. A demo will be released once we reach chapter 13 :) It will feature custom music, improved sprites, plot development, and plenty more jokes. We're so confident of our hacking progress, we'd like to share how we've been so successful recently with our efficiency. Of course, everything below is written in code which speeds up our pace. .______. I think.

Ah, that looks alot better :) Permission to use? :3 If you're interested in applying, we'd be very interested in seeing some more of your work.

It's relative to the best around that's seen in other hacks. Don't take offense to it, you're good, but not at the level we're looking for.

I looked through everything, along with several other members of the team. Once again, we apologize as we felt as though you weren't up to par with what we're looking for. Naturally, the above sprites are bad and need alot of work- that's why we're using them as examples. However, at the moment, your sprites are not astronomically better than the ones portrayed above. Ergo, if you cannot sprite much better than the hacker/writer of the team, problems exist.

Tarkaris, I apologize but after consulting with the team, we decided you're not fit for the criteria. You have many good splices and battle sprites, but we feel as though you wouldn't be fit for higher level editing as you have quite a bit of pillow-shading in many of your sprites. Since I feel as though many people aren't aware of the work we have at the moment in order to develop comparisons and judge competency, please check the images below. These were made by me and Cedar. <--Also Budgie in my avatar. We're looking for spriters who can easily spot errors, make corrections to existing problems, and create sprites that look much better than the ones above.

We already sprited the zombies, although they could use a visual lift. Atm, they're just recolored bandits with some added effects by Cedar. Also, thanks Cam for updating.

Ah, you misunderstood. We're not looking for a zombie sprite in and of itself, just people willing to sprite for the project as a whole. At the moment, we're concerned about getting mugs for one or two boss characters, a new portrait for a fighter, and updates to the rest of our sprites.

Nope, although it should be, I'll ask Cedar to update.

Yea, erm, about that. We asked yeti a loooong time ago, probably like 2-3 years back if we could use his rifleman animation for the hack. So yea, that was a while back, hopefully he's still cool with it. Thanks, I'm glad you like it so far ^_^

Alright, thanks. Along those lines, we're still looking for people D: atm, Joe is spriting for us, but he's been a bit busy recently so we need more spriters to help out.

We're going to need someone who has more experience and has really neat/clean splices and some custom work. My apologies, but I'm not sure if you two meet all the criteria.

So yea, errm. I'm Dess, director of the zombie hack and we need spriters. If you don't know what the hack is about, check it out here: http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=28111 Basically, we're looking for people who are capable of making competent splices/custom work for our hack. If you checked the link out above, you can see the general low quality of the stuff we already have. So yea... if you can sprite well better than what's there already, we'll be glad to accept you. We also need some animations/battle sprites and map sprites, so if you're capable there, that'd be awesome. If you're interested, please post a reply below with a link to a spriting topic/portfolio of sorts. This hack is rapidly growing and chances are will have a wide audience, so this is a great opportunity to get your name out there/show off your work.

Our spriting standards are pretty low at the moment, hahahaaa. But I'm sure Joe will deliver. With time, he'll become an amazing spriter :3 Also, thanks Seph for the encouragement ^_^

Update. Some new screenshots of chapters 5-7x and some tip screens. We still need to fix some palettes/insert some animations, but we've more or less finished the events. Balancing is being worked on and the writers have finished quite a bit of the script. Here we can see more Dath and Jimmy abuse. (the third screenshot is referring to Dath, if you didn't notice). Edit: Also, forgot to mention. We kidnapped Joerachi again to make him sprite for us so we should be ok for now.

Cam, we're not so much at a lack of hacking... but a lack of spriting lol. Cedar finished chapter 5, but there's no sprites for the new characters. Then again, we still really need your help we always will need your guru-ness >_<

Update. We've begun work again (yaaay...), so updates will be popping up in the next few weeks/months/years. But more importantly, we have some issues we're wrestling with at the moment- the biggest regarding a lack of a good spriter. Cedar and the rest of the crew are hacking chapter 6 at the moment, so we're planning on releasing a demo that will stretch to chapter 9/10. Edit: Also, we have shades. Edit2: Also, for those interested on how we work so efficiently, it's because we speak in cryptic lol text that's difficult to decipher.

It's a collaborative effort by the folks at TEB, so no one really has possession of the hack. I think Cedar or Vanilla know... But what I do know is that we were originally planning on giving him 0% for luck to troll both him and the player :3 I'm glad you guys like it so far ^_^

Dath won't take the abuse forever, so expect some character development as the hack goes on ^_^

Isn't it? I'm glad you guys are enjoying it so far ^_^

It's nice to see some familiar faces here :) ^^That's not very nice :(

I can't wait for chapter 2 Cedar. The wit in this is S class :)

For the Volke one, I resized him and cleaned him up. I can't really custom-go by myself yet.

Shades are always awesome B) A failed attempt to sprite Stefan. Please buy his clothes.
