Last Month
November has seen more progress in Dragon Empires
with buildings being created left right and centre
and the first of the creatures being created and
animated. We also had a lot of work completed on
the characters and you can see some of that in the
Art
Development Diary that was posted last
Friday.
Special
sneak peak!
As a treat to all you beta test list members I have
included two special sneak-peak pictures of the
new engine build. This is an update we've recently
received and I think you will agree the result of
the engine upgrade is simply stunning! The upgrade
has given us new and stunning water effects and
a new way for the engine to treat mountains and
the landscape (among other tweaks).
Forum upgraded!
Our upgrade to the forum has been completed and
you can now get to the new forums here.
Note, to log in you will need to use your email
address, NOT your old login. This has caused a few
problems for people so read again, your login is
now the email you registered for the forums on.
The default colours of the forums have changed,
but if you go to your control panel (User CP) you
can set the format to Dragon Empires to get that
old school feeling back.

Forum

Darkessa started an interesting discussion about
lag in online games and how
do you combat lag?
It's not too technical a discussion so do drop in
and find out what players think and what the developers
have to say about the matter!
