I would like to say CONGRATULATIONS! to all the graduators out there! You guys worked really hard to get where you are. <3 We are all proud of you. What are your plans after graduation? What kind of college classes will you take (if college is in your plans?) What kind of career do you want?

The Code
I have been doing work on the chat system. It currently supports multiple "rooms" or "channels" (same thing). And you can turn off any channel you don't want to receive. So for starters there will probably be like a global chat, trade chat and a local chat. Both global and trade work no matter where you are (as long as you are subscribed to the channel). While local chat only is received by other users within a small distance around you (like 50-100 tiles which works out to just around 2-3 screen sizes or what I would think of as shouting distance). Eventually I'll add in guild, party, instance and whatever else I can think of.
The Story
It's official, the new game now has a legitimate name!
Are you ready to see it?
Are you suuuuure?
Yes, you did read that right, we're sticking with LQ.
While chatting and throwing out other names, no others really stood out for us and gave the feel we wanted. We're used to LQ, and it -does- fit with our story.
We will also (probably) be making use of Act titles, to help split up the story and give each its own mini-title, a little hint of what to come.
So yes, you can expect a few llamas in there; how will they fit? Well now, you'll just have to wait and see!
So, the general storyline, obviously we don't want to and will not give away what exactly is going to happen, but here is the general premise of the story.
Omg Storyline
You're old, you've had a hard life, it's not been easy and you've ended up living on the street and scrounging around for anything other people don't want that you can use.
That's when a mysterious stranger appears.
Who is he? No one knows - He looks like a Todd, or a Gary
Where did he come from? He won't tell you - When two people love each other very much...
What does he want? Well, it seems he has an interesting proposition for you. - He's a Nigerian prince and needs your help to get his money out of the country.
If you were given the chance to live your life again, would you take it?
The chance to fix your mistakes and make use of your knowledge of the future - What could possibly go wrong?

I’ve been working on various little things including tiles, attack animations and finetuning the basic sprite. I wish I had more time or was a bit quicker as it’s not going as fast as I would like.
