Just thought I would mention that we are aiming for next Monday or Tuesday to have the new video and dev diary out.  I don't want to jinx anything, but I think folks will be stunned in a good way.

It's like Christmas in June.

Getting there! We're on schedule as far as having the code ready for Erik to start working on the video tomorrow night, anyway -- so that's great. :)

We're pretty much to the point where all the main work is done on what we want to show you in this video of the game, and now the work begins on the video, the dev diary, and all that.  After a last few hours of a bit more polish and a few last spells that I want to cram in. ;)

Translation based on previous experience with soft deadlines: video will probably be mostly done by sometime Sunday ;)

Deadlines aren't the brick wall, they're the hurdle that you trip on; you come to rest some distance away.

Hahaha.  Well, in this case the video work is not mine, so after I'm done with my part I just take the weekend off for the most part until Monday. ;)  Aside from the evenings.

Well, as Erik's boss, please have him put some speed into it. I know I'm not the only waiting for the big news! :-)

Or better yet, you could maybe give a quick spoiler to all the faithful forum readers of the game and tell us the big news here tonight! :-D

It's the sort of news that has to come all at once to really explain what all has changed.  I will give you one bit of a preview of the least interesting parts, though: we've got several new spells, including Seize, Fire Touch, and Ride The Lightning (those spells are actually all really cool, but to tell you what they do would get into some stuff that I can't discuss quite yet); we have something like 40 new buildings, and well over 100 new objects; we have several new character animations; we have the clothing colorization so that NPCs look more unique; we have a new inventory screen system, and we're working on finalizing our crafting interface (which won't be shown this video, but will be next time).

And none of that is the big news, not even close. ;)
