that's some good info. What's the most difficult thing you must deal with that's also most time-consuming ?
Also, does the exterior of lakehouse need all this work since we wont be able to use this space anyway ?

1) Picking up other people's slack
2) Yes, unless you want the level to look like dick

Oh, I also made a custom material editor node that lets you do Parallax Occlusion mapping for SM 3.0 cards. (Binary + Linear search "Relief Mapping" algorithm)

Mic has taken over my Producer-role for a month or something and he's looooving it xD.

To show off this effect, check this image out.

These screenshots were taken directly from the udk material editor.
The bottom image is from the new custom node.

I'm guessing all of those mapping types are supposed to give it that 3D effect? ???

looks neat Mic :].

Whats the dev team morale like?

Slowly climbing up. Most devs are busy with work, but there's (slow) progress in every department. Or there will be soon.

Well, it basically hit rock bottom in November, so up is really the only direction to go.

We realized that after all this time, we still didn't have gameplay. But we're making progress with a new scheme for the programmers, and possibly some more recruiting in a few weeks.

Though, aside from the programming, we have almost every asset we need for a complete game. (with one map)
