I completely cursed myself by publicly saying I want to have something out by the end of the weekend!
so what is the schedule for this Dave? I heard you mention something about early November submission - does that hold true or are you doing some new things with it - oh and when can I beta test it?
That was overly optimistic, I had an awesome start and then got bogged down with work and my second job However! the ToDo list is getting smaller and smaller every day. I'm sure you remember those days I'm putting some character appearance options in now. I wanted to get rudimentary combat better tweaked (and networked) in time for the test, so that's the last piece before we open it up for early testing. In the meantime, the initial zone is complete for exploration, and work is being done on some GUIs and fonts.
Lol, atleast you get paid xD! I don't even have a job yet >.>.. Well acually i can probably get one -_-, and i can almost drive in about several months so yeah.
Multiplayer test Whew! What a week! Just a quick note to say that I'm pretty sure well be running the multiplayer test later this weekend. Its main purpose is to give an early look at things and for us to see what kinds of problems come up with the networking. There won't be much to do except run around, chat, and perhaps some other surprises. I'm giving us the day tomorrow to get things ready and I'll post up a download link when it's ready. If all goes well, that will be tomorrow night. If you will be around and would like to help test the multiplayer in its primitive state (ie make a char and run around), post here with your platform (mac or pc), your video card, and if you have a microphone to use ingame.
I'll test it. I have one of those aluminum MacBooks. So it has a nvidia graphics card. Not sure which one. And it has a mic built in,
Lol waistful mutch? I'm pretty shure if you want a good gaming computer, you might as well make your own, but if not, then okay, just make the computer worth while
What's wrong with a MacBook lol? Been ableto play ever game i tried on it easily? Haha and I'm only 15 so I'm not exctly gonna be able to buil my own computer. And I can't stand windows software.
lol my friends 15, you can save a lot more money if you learn how to build your own, you can even have enough to buy a 40" TV
Yes but then you have to buy all that software that normal computers come with and that can add up. Expecially if it's windows, my friend got his own custome built computer and he hates it, my little 5 pound MacBook can run better that that and he wasted 4 grand buildin it and getting the best possible software. Aluminum MacBooks will last over 5 years before you even have to change the battery. They are built so solid that they don't really get the problems you will find from other computers because they are built out of a block f aluminum. They are more universal than windows because you can run anything windows on them. They last 7 hours on a singlecharge. Mac os x leapord is like the most advanced operating system you can find, and it uses your computer the most efficient way possible getting maximum speed and performance. Plus no malware or freezing or crashes. You can attach it to a display if you reallyfeel the need for a 40 inch screen but I would pik portability over a big cinema display cause you don't really need it. But let's not get in a huge mac verse pc battle because no one ever knows what they are talking about when they criticise mac owners and it seems really pointless to criticises something you don't know about it. I have tried all sorts of computers and the MacBook is the best I have ever had. I know plenty of people with custom computers and they seem to have a couple year lifespan at most and just get slower and slower.
