Spinning Cubes

Milestone 5 is now released. More then a year since the last so we are thinking about calling them yearstones in the future . Download from the ZPG download page.

I have now setup a Linux computer for the first time in my life to use for development on Mistlands. Not that i understand much of the evil OS from the dark side but the Dark lord of the Sith, Darth Dvoid always takes the time to help me out with it . I hope to get some new snapshots on line so everyone can try to join in.

Mistlands have not been the most active project for some time now, it is in fact over a year since the latest 0.4 milestone. Online projects sometimes move slow but i think we have started to move forward again . We will put up 0.5 soon and then we will do a major rewrite of the engine as we have found some areas in it that we are not to happy with. So with the will of the sun the engine will be more stable and faster in version 0.6 . For games i play Oblivion and Bolling point right now and both of them have nice big worlds that you are free to walk around in. Something like that is what we aim for in Mistlands 0.6 .

No luck in finding work as a game developer yet , but I’ll keep trying. Why are there no game developers in örebro .

Scripting on the quests now. It’s get more easy as we move along as we don’t have to write new c++ code for everything that we would like to do from scripts. Screenshoot in gallery shows my current quest test level with quest non-player character’s standing around everywere and all the things needed to complete the quests. The wolfs in that levels die more then any mob in any game should have to and their sacrifice goes above and beyond the duty of any mob .

Quests and conversation have now been added to Mistlands and i added a image from it to the gallery. It’s now possible to walk around and talk to non-player character’s and get epic quests and complete them for gold and experience points . Right now we do the dialog in script but there will be a editor made for it also before our scripters go insane .

Added some images to the gallery from Mistlands .

Added support to form partys and share XP in Mistlands. Hope to test it later today and then add a new fine snapshot to the zeropointgameplay website .

Some new screenshoots in the gallery. Working on the combat system right now .

Added shops to mistlands. Feels nice to kill some monsters and then go in to the town and by a new axe .

I got a new gfx card now, a ATI x1600. Now i’ll try to learn mistlands to love ati .
