Thanks for the compliments guys, but I am not the only person busting my ass for MB.  I am just the only one posting here. :-)

I\'ve been working more on lightning and rain for a couple days now, and it is really nice.  The sounds go together with it and it really sounds cool!  Of course, I could be overenthusiastic because it is once again 3am but I couldn\'t believe how good it sounded the first time it actually played correctly on my machine here. :-)

Hopefully we will have a dev release this weekend, and a fan release in a week or two.

There ya go,
Vengeance

First off, let me just say its great to see another gamedev enthusiast in Houston (live in Houston myself), not many of us here ;)

Second, I have been following Planeshift for a while...but first time posting...and I just wanted to say it looks really good so far, especially what I hear about MB :) I am really excited to check it out and see the new changes. From a programmers perspective, its really fun to watch something like this evolve :)

Yliakum is an underground city. The inhabitants, a mixture of different races, also call it the \"City of the Azure Sun\", referring to the huge crystal that gives the city its light and supplies the land with life-giving energy. Yliakum is located thousands of meters under the surface inside a huge excavated stalactite, hanging inside a cave so huge that it could contain any kingdom of the surface.


This, plus other things (and images) are present on the website, explaining why this cavern is so peculiar.

I have spent the last 3 days on the rain again...  the server was sending notifications to the client to tell it to stop raining, and the client was removing the rain from the world successfully, but it was STILL raining!  :-)

Turned out to be a bug in CS and was fixed overnight.  Thanks Jorrit!

We are now finalizing NPC dialog uploading and getting Windows installation scripts working again, and I am working on getting all the new race models into the game.

Very close to dev release.

so since you got rain done and are finalizing the dialog are you going to be moving on to one large thing for a final shabam for the MB release, a couple minor things, or just a dev team test to work out any bugs that pop up, OR are you just not gonna tell us cuz ya wanna bug us...   :)

Kran is in and looks great, imo.

Not all races are in though.  I think about 8 total are in, including a couple females, so get ready all you online transvestites!  :-)

As it happens I have spent the last two days getting all the final models integrated into the game.  They are up and working and look great to me.

Regarding work left, I keep thinking we will do a dev release any day.  We have a couple outstanding bugs.  Talad is hard at work at setting up all the AI for the NPC dialog.  Sarmaael promises us that he is almost done with the auto-updater.

One of these days... :-)

speaking of NPC dialogue, how will it work?

Is it click on an answer type dialogue, or does it use keywords, like everquest? or some other form?

ah, an auto-updater, excelent.
