Eagerly Awaiting...

Post by Lord_Ephialtes »

I cant wait for this new version to come out! It has to happen soon. Can you suggest a date if possible?

Really want to be able to mess about with my island at school, and will it be possible to run 2 islands without needing a regi.dat file? It was annoying going through the whole process...

you wont have an isle, unless your willing to play.

even then it will be a World, which mos likely wont be connected to the Worlds system, unless your lucky.
im testing and mit wont even give me one for testing purposes

I am very excited about the new version comming out. Is there any expected release date? Are islands going to interact with eachother? If the answers to these questions are posted elsewhere I appologise.

sometime this spring it looks like. :)

a lot of details on the new version can be found in the pre release notes:

http://gameislands.net/doc01.html

between that and the screenshots you can probably get the general idea 8)


i think zar is releasing about 100 screenshots on his site in the near future. when he does that i'll also publish a link to a staff gallery page, mostly of shots i'd taken but also a few from other folks with access to the new beta.
