Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt01092)

Maybe you can add a few fight scenes. I would be willing to help the
cause. If not I make a good extra. :)

I'm actually pulling a stunt similar to this; I'm developing a
computer game based on the Adepts and Theosophy. Suffice to say, it's
not a small task. I've already been working on it for almost 3 years
now and all I have is some pretty pictures of the game engine.
