Stay tuned.Art & Programming & Soundhistoric_bruno committed a plethora of fixes! He updated libpng to v1.5.13, fixed multilined text alignment and added a link in-game to the manual. This is only the tip of the iceberg though. For a full list of code revisions check this . Or maybe it was this one.stwf has been working on a complete rewrite of the sound manager. This ought to fix bugs and remove memory leaks in the code.Pureon has finished work on the 'Crannog' building and he has also made new technology, unit and building icons. He has also finished the Mauryan houses (which are a treat!). Check for yourself in the monthly screenshot!Mythos_Ruler also worked on the Mauryan Indians, adding new textures and portraits, among with some general balance work.Enrique finished work on a couple of Mauryan buildings, notably the temple and the stables.

Consider yourself lucky!Yves is working on a javascript debugger. As we are using javascript for many things, this tool will come in very handy. K776 is working on the web-GUI for the debugger.Last but not least we ought to thank Lordgood for his amazing design sketches for the Mauryan Indians.See you in a couple of weeks with the latest development news! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evropi Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) I watched a cartoon documentary about the Buddha once, the city he wasn't allowed to go to as a young prince looked just like this. Beautiful that is. Edited January 20, 2013 by Evropi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion.Kanzen Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 i missed this, hahaha, Fireworks, where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feneur Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Right about there:(I did turn up the hdr settings to make them more noticeable, and as you can see it's more of a fun effect than anything useful. Which is just as well as iirc fireworks weren't invented in 0 A.D.'s time frame (note: I don't remember exactly when they were invented, so I could be wrong)) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plumo Posted February 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Next report due this week/next week.They used to be weekly, yes. If I would have continued publishing them weekly they would be only half as interesting, as progress is sometimes slow, sometimes more speedy... At the current rate, it will be a monthly blog. But when things speed up, I"ll write it every two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
