This mod is to make Assasin's Creed look marginally better via updated environment textures, new water textures, new plant/foliage textures and even new character model textures along with updated normal maps and specular maps. Updates will be less frequent meaning more can be done without the need of building a package every week.
Is the project alive?
It is, very much so.
I've recently had a child aswell change of workplace and I've been pretty busy.. I'm still working on this but I've not touched this mod for a good month or so, I'm coming back to now that things have settled and I've got more money coming my way.
Sorry for taking so long to reply, I've not checked moddb in a long time.
