The latest update over on ION's Daily Informant page has a big ol' update on the status of Deus Ex, Warren Spector's first person RPG (thanks Billy "latin-boy" Wilson). There are a bunch of really interesting quotes from various members of the team...here's a sample:

The design, code, and art are, at last, coming together, giving the team their first real taste of gameplay. As programmer Scott Martin remarked in a recent .plan update: "Deus Ex is no longer a glorified technology demo; now it's beginning to look like a game..."

Designer Steve Powers agrees. "After spending a couple of days playing missions one and two (over and over), I am very pleased to see how our game is shaping up," he said. "I mean, here we are in April and I am already playing Deus Ex!"
