We are ready to present Editor 0.8 with Player. The live session will be held at LiveCoding SOON. We will show you how to create a simple game with sounds from scratch. And this time it will not need an Editor to run.

The exact date and time is to be announced in the coming days. Stay tuned!

. . .

As you know, according to the previously published roadmap, we now have sound system in place. However, we decided to go further and implement the first version of Player. We wanted to get it done by December, but, unfortunately, more work resulted in the change of dates.

Here's the revised roadmap for the first half of 2016:

1. Editor + Player 0.8.0 (January 2016): Sound system, Whac-a-mole game with sounds
2. Editor + Player 0.9.0 (April 2016): Networking system, simple ping pong game for 2 players over the net. . .

You can download the resulting project here: https://github.com/OGStudio/liveSessionWhacAMole/archive/master.zip

The latest editor can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/osrpgcreation/files/Editor/jenkins/422015-11-1308-16-46_0.7.4/. . .

We're glad to annouce that the LiveCoding session will take place on 15 November 2015 at 12:00 CET. Join us!

As we have promised, we are ready to give you Editor 0.7 which is capable of creating the complete test chamber. However, after recreating the test chamber ourselves, it became clear that:

1. it takes more than 8 hours to recreate it (too long)
2. it's inappropriate to be presented in the form of an article (too boring)

Therefore we decided to hold a live session at LiveCoding SOON to show you how to create a simple whac-a-mole like game from scratch.. . .

After the recent bankruptcy of Desura's parent company, we decided, that we need a new place for our Deluxe version. Something better, more modern and more trustworthy. We have chosen the Humble Widget, with which you can buy the deluxe version of the game without leaving our site.

Here it is:

We haven't received a single penny from Desura (due to the minimal cache out limitations), but if you bought the deluxe version from them and experiencing any problems with downloading it (right now we see no problems with that), send us a letter, tell your name on Desura, we'll figure something out.. . .

As you know, the main goal of Editor 0.7.0 is the ability to create the test chamber with it. It needs Actions' system and a few stability fixes for that. We are going to publish a detailed article describing how to create the test chamber, too, so that anyone could create their own test chamber!

We estimate to complete it in October.

. . .

As promised, we have come up with a list of milestones and their approximate dates for the coming year:

1. Editor 0.7.0 (October 2015) - Actions' system: we recreate the test chamber
2. Editor 0.8.0 (December 2015) - Sound system
3. Editor 0.9.0 (February 2016) - Particles' system and minimal UI
4. Editor 0.10.0, Player 0.1.0 (April 2016) - Player to play what Editor produced: we create Shuan prototype with our engine. . .

We completed Editor 0.6.0. You can see 0.6.0 in action here.

Editor 0.6.0 got the following new features:

1. Camera and light node positioning
2. Node rotation along X axis
3. Node scripting support
4. Thumbnail dialog to preview models when editing scene node model properties
5. Node copying and pasting
6. Node selection by LMB click in the scene
7. Window geometry and state restoration after restart

We don't have 0.7.0 completion date at the moment, because we decided to take some time to set up a roadmap for Shuan and Mahjong 2. Once done, we will share 0.7.0 completion date and its feature list along with the roadmap.. . .
