Hi PlaneShifters,some time has passed and we made good progress toward the next tech release (codename: Crystal Blue).- We finalized the magic rules and added some particles to test spell casting,- We tested in more details the combat rules and added more options like the battle stances- The Crystal Space 3D engine is improving at good speed and we plan to use some of its new features to bring more speed to the 3d rendering- The 3d models are being redone to use the new features of the engine and to save some memory- Dialogues of NPCs are being expanded to give designers more options in creating quests.Release of Crystal Blue is still set for end of year, all team working hard for that deadline.
