Before you start panicking and think you've lost it... yes, all the old news is gone. I've switched to using an actual blog instead of editing my page everytime. This way I just type crap and punch the "Publish" button, and my job is done. Being lazy is fun! Anyways, you can still get to the old news page from the link above. But why would you wanna see that?
Not much else to report on regarding the game. I haven't worked on it as much as I should have, but there isn't a lot left to add, so there's no rush. I'll get it out by Sept. 1st, one way or another. I'm starting to get that programmer's itch... where one project is mostly complete, and I'm wanting to jump into another one. But I'll resist the temptations, and work on my current project until I'm 100% satisfied with it. Which means even after the initial release, count on some updates as I do my usual nitpicking and fix little things nobody would ever notice. I may add new features over time as well. And don't worry, anyone who buys it get free upgrades till the end of time. You'll also get notified by email when a new version comes out if you so choose.
My clipboard is already starting to fill up with pages and plans for my next project, though... Trust me, it's gonna be fun. I'll leak some info on it soon.
Also... I thought I would mention again that the Message Boards still don't work at the moment. I'm currently looking for another one that's worth using other than Tripod. So for the time being, just email me or something. I'll let you know when I have the new board up. I think I found one, it's only a matter of editing a bunch of settings to make it work.
I watched Lord of the Rings the other day. And again last night. It definately helps to watch that movie a second time. Not because it's just a good movie in general, but because there's some things that I didn't catch the first time through. I turned on closed captioning the second time, which helped me understand some of the stuff they said, especially when they were mumbling around. I also used headphones the second time, which helped. The first time I just used surround sound, which is definately fun during the action scenes. Not necessarily fun for other people living in the house though. ;)
