Ah, I'm glad someone got on. She's actually a tree... animation isn't
in, and I'm figuring out the best size to render the avatars at. Having
a static tree that looks like a woman is handy for that.
Don't forget to check out the many worldbuilding tools! If you click the
'go home' button, you can access them, and decorate to your heart's
content. The 'edit screen' button lets you set the perspective and
horizon line.
Uh, the game is down too much because I have a sucky satellite
connection. I'm getting a dedicated dialup line on Tuesday... it should
be up pretty much all the time then unless I'm working on it.
There's actually a complete Mahjongg game coded in there that's fun to
play, but it's disabled right now because I don't own the graphics. I
have an artist working up a custom tileset, and when he's done, we'll be
able to play that game again. It's the first game coded up so far.
Maybe tomorrow I'll get animation in. Every day brings new major
changes... it was great fun putting in the rain, fog, shadows, and sound
effects! :-D
Is this staying closed or is it possible to download the source? I was just curious about the update mechanism it keeps bailing on downloading files and checking to see if they have already downloaded doesn't appear to be a particularly quick process when I restart it.
