Your interface design has always been top notch, and the games are unusually intuitive to play. It's really nice not having a huge learning curve between the player and the game. Keep up the good work! Your instincts (including getting advice from others) are a big reason for your success.

I was just about to post something asking for an update, and lo and behold here is an update. Very exciting news and can't wait for the trailer!

This week I have been working on getting some new features into the combat round and trying out different combat music tracks. Who is providing the music for TRC? The music for Eschalon was wonderful, and I know you really care about how that ambience affects the game. Any hope of "Glorian" providi...

Whew! I'll work my ass off through the end of the year and then try to give you some more info on the game when we hit the 2 year mark of my first real "post-Eschalon RPG" update.

Make the update a Christmas present to your loyal fans

That Riegsecker Prick.

Won't work - BW has already said the first word is "The".

Well, I for one can read your post and reply

New attempts!

The ___ Passage
The Red Planet
The Rogue P___

Okay, I can't stand not taking a bit of a guess - sort of....

The ____ World
The ____ Wars

BW - this is really, really exciting news. Obviously you have a way to go before you have a finished game, but I am absolutely thrilled that your engine is finalized. Content next - sounds like great fun.

One question - is this to be a stand-alone game or a series of books like Eschalon?

Thought you might be interested to know that I downloaded Book I from the iTunes app store successfully. Don't know if the white squares will re-appear, but the game seems to start up smoothly and looks normal so far.

I think you've complained about this in the past. Is your Mac fully up-to-date, and are you using the very latest version of Book 1? The Mac is up to date. I just re-downloaded Book 1 and got Version 1.06, which is the version I had before. Strange huh? What is new is that I now have a BlitzMax err...

I started a replay of Book 1 a couple of weeks ago. Decided to make it challenging by using no magic and making my distance attack Thrown weapons. However, I play on a Mac. The maps covered in white squares is just too painful, so I dropped the idea.

So, the first question is - what is your difficulty level? If you are going hardcore, you need to be aware of Foraging. You will starve to death without it. Also, Repair is nice but is wasted at this point. Any blacksmith will fix your weapons for a nominal fee. You will want Divination eventually, ...

Well, I would probably tweak those stats a little myself. Maybe forget the Divination for a while, and put a point or two in either Unarmed Combat (barrel smashing and emergency defense when low on Mana) or Pick Locks.

Blissful belated birthday, Blatherbeard! We have one month left in our "Summer Crunch" coding session. I'll do a "State of the Basilisk" address in late August to share where we are at with our games. How about this? In honor of Blatherbeard's birthday you tell us which game (Zatmos or the RPG) you...
