Mythruna

Just decided to give a heads up on why progress is slow these days.

Once a year, I throw a big party at my house for friends and family.  Usually, I use this as an excuse to finally get a bunch of projects done around the house... that party was this past weekend (August 4th).  So last week I was sweating out in the sun getting the yard ready and fixing half a dozen broken things in my house (doors, toilets, whatever... handyman Speed to the rescue).

This week I have a bunch of day job work to catch up on because of time I took off from work and because there are some critical deadlines looming.

...and my family and I are taking a mini-vacation this weekend.

After that I should be back at Mythruna recharged and you can expect some new progress updates then.

Thanks for being patient.

your welcome  ;) and enjoy your vacation.

Everyone deserves a break after throwing a party. Get back onto Mythruna when you feel like it. We're happy with your progress as it is. Enjoy your time off :)

By the way, if anyone is at Busch Gardens Williamsburg on Saturday and sees a guy walking around with a Mythruna shirt on... say hi. :)

epic  ;D

Anyway, your last name is ironic.

In what way?

And while I still don't know why my last name is ironic, I will at least reply here to say that I'm officially back.

I have some day job work to catch up on but I hope to be back into some amount of Mythruna code as early as tonight.

In the first week, how much did you get done? how fast can you type?

In the first week of development when I first started Mythruna?  I had most of a working engine in the first week.  The first ever release represents only two weeks of work and half that time was lighting and collision detection, easily.  That first release is still up on the archive page for the curious.

Ok thanks, i want to see how much mythruna has exceeded from the beginning :)

Oh my gosh, I found soooo many bugs in the first minute. I know I don't need to go over them.
I am surprised that you spawned in a huge flat area. After witnessing what i just played, i have to say that i respect you Paul o_o"

I haven't played it in a while... but if I remember correctly the first version didn't save.  The world was limited to a 1024x1024 area (generated from nearly the same fractal that generates the world now) and I chopped out a huge flat area because it made it easier for testing.  Since it didn't save anything I did, having a big flat area to start with every time was useful.

I am just going to mention the bugs i found.

1)Jumping down from a high place sends you into the ground.
2)Water did not appear.

These bugs don't matter anymore :D

Happy to have you back.

Yeah Paul :D Nice to have you back :D!

Note: Also, I didn't realise (z) you had Mythruna (Why does it spell-check the name of the game? lol) shirts until I saw you xD! Might I suggest making the picture bigger, or adding an in-game screenshot of a nice view, maybe a sunset :3

I can do that sunset screenshot :)

The picture on the back is as big as it can be, I think.  It's tough because photos don't transfer as well as you might like... I had to go through a few shirts before I got something I liked.  Most of the shirt designs are setup with the small logo in the front and a big picture on the back.  Pretty sure it was this shirt: http://mythruna.com/forum/index.php?topic=607.msg2665#msg2665

Actually, I think that picture is of the one I bought for my daughter after reading the thread.  I'm not sure which version was the adult, white, that I was wearing.  Maybe one of the earlier darker ones before I got the color balance right.

...anyway, I'm not famous enough for anyone at Busch Gardens to have said anything to me. :)

Oh, I didn't notice that on the back.. Anyway, it's not like you have any in-game dragons you can take a shot of, like one burning down a village during a sunset, while your on the porch of your house, over-looking the village, on your neat mountain :3

Tek get on mythruna :(

Please explain to me, why you wan't me on, when you aren't?

To have a romantic date with you on a sunset.

Sorry for bumping the thread but I too have been gone a long while.

You last name happens to be speed but your complaining about how slow things are (which isn't so speedy). Sorry, I won't leave anymore comments just sitting there like that.

That's ok.  I was just curious. :)
