Potential Games

The MMORPG Alpha testing server is up, running the latest development code. I’ve done almost no testing of this version, so watch out for sharp edges.

The biggest update to look for is the functioning of shops within towns. Donate resources to the Civic Works “shop” to develop the town, enabling more shops. This might be difficult to do, due to the dearth of content. Also, the Civic Works interface does not work exactly right, so just put up with it until I redesign that shop.

Also look for the Settlement Project “shop.” This is another resource donation-based civic works project. After a trail is built, a remote settlement can be established. The settlement becomes a new town elsewhere in the world, which is how towns proliferate across the landscape. Trail and road building won’t actually show up on the surface yet. Once the road is complete, travel services become available to the next town. Give it a try, but don’t expect it to work yet.

I do not anticipate any more development until next week. Don’t eat too much turkey, and make sure to bundle up Friday morning.
