ATT: It has come to my attention that Airship has been confirmed (via their FB) to have had worked on the character model that shows the back of a stationary JM that we have all seen a million times. However, this is the first time that we have had proof that Airship is actually working on the game. Airship regularly does non gaming drawing commissions so it's not far fetched to have been able to assume that it was a one time drawing. Nonetheless, thank you to VirtualGaming for pointing this out to us. A user on Pasta Padre recently was trying to show proof that the game is being worked on. He mentions a forum posting here for a Gaming art company called Airship Images that is looking for a Graphics Programmer and Technical artist for a title they're working on, titled "Project M" (Montana?). This is where things get fun! Damon grow posted the following picure on January, 28th 2014: Upon investigating and looking into Airship, I stumbled upon the following image from their website: If you look closely, the molding on the wall panels is identical, color of the wall is pretty close (lighting affects both images), but the two computers in Damons picture seem to be in the same place as the picture from the Airship site. You can also look at the lighting on the ceiling, and see that the arc from the lights is the same in both. Pictures on wall differ, but that's not uncommon for a company that works on multiple different projects. This page here confirms that Airship is indeed working on a "American Football game". So, while it's not much, it does look like we have a bit of info on what's going on behind the scenes. Airship seems to focus on character models, and does a great job. While still a relatively new company, their gaming work is all current gen and can be seen here.

They create characters for Microsoft Studios. Well that seems to tie in mighty well with the OS post.

It's understandable but that post thus far lines up the next month and obviously E3 will be incredibly interesting.

Thanks for making this, and like many others, im just wanting a football game that line-man block like NFL line-man instead of looking like a bunch of middle schoolers!

Updated OT with some news, apparently Airship had already been confirmed to be in some type of working relationship with JMF, but this was the first real proof we've seen in a little over a year that they were indeed still on the project.
