Alex / I took a small break from blogging during Easter and now I’m back. Mars continues to work on the graphics of the game. Tony worked before leaving the city on the mass messaging system that we’ll use for important announcements ingame. Right now he’s working on making the connections between the design done […]

Alex / Due to the rather repetitive nature of the posts here (we finished that, going to start on the next task, etc), I’ve decided to post from now on some articles on different subjects gaming related. They’ll start showing up next week when I have some time. As for the current status of the […]

Alex / Well, Tony finished the chat system yesterday and we tested it for a bit. It works and its in real time with updates at 1 second. The private chats we decided to leave them for now, due to the load on the server. Maybe in 3-4 months once the game starts we’ll implement […]

I’ve setup a yahoo messenger id for the game in case anyone wants to contact us. We’ll probably provide support for the game also from this yahoo id. You can add this id in Yahoo Messenger if you want to talk with me about the game:  ImperialAges@yahoo.com

Alex / Well, I just arrived home from the city where Raywall and Tony live. I met them with Mars, explained the battle system and a couple of other things that they didn’t know how it should happen. The 8 pages of text that described the battle system for Imperial Ages isn’t as hard to […]
