Ari's Corner
For the first time I watched Nub make his Pete comic. I have never watched anything like this before. I thought that it was pretty awesome especially since it was live and others interacted with him while he was making it. And the music he had made it all even better. I hope that I can catch the next one so I can watch again! This was really fun! You should check it out sometime
Pete (Live)
Still catching up on posts and threads on the forums. I am getting there. Especially got to read through PinkCrown's books.
Don't think that the birthdays were forgotten last week! I will be honest its my favorite part of the thread

The Story
So far we're concentrating on the main 5, and there's some pretty darn cool ideas!
We're looking at things like the general scene (building style, colours, ground covering, etc), the main buildings, a bit of the overall layout and any specific things we need in the area for the quest bits we currently have planned.
A bit more and we can go for a vague game map, set out how close/far certain markers are and how much you have to go through to get to them, then it'll be time to define all of the various other areas inbetween them.

Much like everyone else this last week, I don't have much to report. I did some work though, but it is not flashy by any means. I re-wrote the map code to make it more modular and easy to use. It now supports multiple layers. I also started stubbing in the main game scene. But now I'm having to get back into the server code which I was out of for a little bit. Catching back up.This Week:

I got a new laptop last weekend so I spent a big chunk of my week setting that up for development and getting stuff like my Unity license transferred over (I had a problem with activation, yay!). I did get into code Friday and Saturday and was able to get some stuff done. Joining the "Game" scene now connects to the server and requests your character information and spawns your character wherever you were last standing. Not much, but it's getting there one step at a time. Here is what is on my plate for this next week:Todo List:
- Join the "MMO Room" on the server. This allows for tracking user position relative to other users.
- Draw map under character. I can draw a map, but I still have to work out offset from the world position 0,0.
- Starting movement.

No update on the art this week unfortunately. I had to prepare for an exhibition that opened last saturday and on top of that I was sick all week -sigh-. Anyway, I feel much better now so expect more progress in next weeks dev blog. Until then for more arty stuff have a look at in the Art Corner.If you are interested in testing the new (idle) sprites, have a look here.

I've started working on drafts for the graphical user interface(GUI) for the game. When I have something presentable I'll share with you. You may also have noticed the different staff avatars. The wooden frame will most likely come back in the GUI in some way. Mechanics
Unfortunately, not too much happened this week in terms of new content. I've been pretty busy in terms of schoolwork, so I didn't have much time to add new things this week, other than the following. Right now I'm focused on mostly drumming up ideas for abilities and skills as well as playing with a few number formulas for character stats on the side. Setting up ability trees and making sure they are balanced will probably take quite a while. After that, who knows what the focus may be? Player group mechanics and mid/endgame content will probably be good places to start.
I'll keep last weeks dev blog open so I can still answer any questions you may have about "classes", but other than that, keep your suggestions coming!
