Yesterday, Thomas Holt (@loki_diego) tweeted saying that if anyone could guess what HMU stood for (the name of one of their internal test teams), that he would give a summary of their report/activities for the internal test.

Tonight, I sent them the correct guess (via someone else's Google skills) of Heavy Metal Unicorn. Holt then began to fill us in on what HMU is up to!

Link to the first reply tweet

@loki_diego@LG_Acheron Team HMU = graphics strike team that is spending this release prototyping & establishing visual targets for new graphics tech

Pretty generic, but it gives us a good idea of where they are with the game's graphics.

@loki_diego@lg_acheron 1st sprint = made a new desired features & tech list, got new lighting features in game, & storyboarded a new VT scene & movie

They still seem to be setting up the list of everything that they want to include, again just telling us where they are.

I like the last bit though. Storyboarding for a new VT movie?? I'm not entirely sure what VT stands for, but I'm assuming it might stand for Video Trailer. We can't know for sure, but we can certainly hope! I'm not sure what else they would be storyboarding.

Well not long to fanfest so most likely a trailer for that.

  So true! April 25th to 27th can't come fast enough. I do imagine, though, at the rate they've been tweeting we'll see *something* juicy in the mean-time, though.
