Don't mind me. Just here to make a post. I've hooked up some fun little ftp and I've got my
Mamp server running so updating the site is like... editing a text file.
The game has not seen development in quite some time this is mainly due to WoW. I've quit
somewhat recently and have enormous amounts of time on my hands. Sometimes I even get out
of the house... sometimes...
Currently I am looking into developing the game under a new engine built specifically for
java games. Anyone interested in joining me feel free to post on the board in the community
page. If you aren't interested then please continue reading this page through until Feb of
2007 and feel good about how you spend your time.
The engine by the way is called "Slick". You can see their website
here. Anyone willing to help is welcome.

I didn't get any work done on the game for the past while because I've been making this instead:

Hazaa! I finally got the new version of the game done and up
here. I actually didn't get the
re-code started yet but I made the game into one file and also fixed the movement slowness.
Expect a few more versions in the following weeks.

Hello all! I'm not dead, haha. I did some work last night. I'm trying to make the game
just one executable file so people will be able to use it easier. People seem to have a lot
of problems with using it otherwise.
School is still busy busy and WoW usurps my weekends so I'm left with a few minutes before sleep overcomes me during the week. My goals are to get this game packaged as one file then I'm gonna use php to remake the website or something. It is hard to be motivated when I have to do a major re-code.

That was a long enough break I suppose. I'm looking into getting back to work
shortly here. I managed to change the link to the POL site as well as look into some
coding issues. I hope to provide single .jar files instead of zip files full of images
so people aren't overwhelmed. Currently I am overwhelmed with the amount of work
required to get this game functional! I need to do a major rewrite of the code and it
looks like I'll be going back to using sockets instead of RMI or servlets. Servlets
would've been nice but they cost about 30$ more a month and I don't have that kinda of money
for a hobby. Sockets were the only server / client type I got to work anyways so
it should be grood.
As for the previous situation of no one getting interested in the site I believe I will start to spam or something. Maybe I can get a few enthusiasts eventually. As for now I'm off~

I've just got my new computer. Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to continue working
on the game. As you know if you've read the development / technical details I'm going
to remake the game almost from scratch. This new development should push the game even
further towards the end goal of a playable multiplayer game.
Links have been added to the links section. I'd like to mention that the game is downloadeable from the development section (Some people don't seem to realize this). Lastly there is a forum in community and guest book in the guest book section. I may switch to php bbcode setup if the site traffic picks up.

I'm taking a break for a bit. I guess I didn't get the latest version of the game
posted I can do that a bit later today I guess. My reasons are the following: I got a
new computer (time to play around with it), school is getting busy and no one is emailing me
to keep going. It is best if this project is done because I want to do it (just like
any project) but it is nice if I get support too! (email: gadimus at gmail dot com ~
or ~ post on the Message Board / Forums!!!).

There is a new guest book section, I'm gonna add a forum in a bit too. It won't be
BBCode or anything fancy. I'm still waiting on a new computer before I get started on
v0.3+. The machine should arrive this coming week. For now please leave me a
note saying what you think of the game / site so far.

Ok! So I've decided that... I am going to scrap the current working version of the
game and do a major rebuild of it. In this rebuild movement will be a space at a time
instead of just little bits at a time. As well the area changes won't be as noticeable
. More details about this will be found in the Development and Technical Details
sections. None of this work will be started until this weekend when hopefully a couple
of us on the dev team will get together.
