Due to the limited amount of time I now have to spend working on or thinking about TD, I'm looking for someone to help me with the runnings of the project.

The duties for this position will include helping to find and hire staff, some managing of staff, organizing of tasks (mapping, deving, and programming), relaying objectives and such to staff for me, and any other areas I might need help with.

The requirements needed to hold this position are the ability to communicate fairly well and efficiently between myself and the staff (and therefore the ability to use instant messengers, e-mail, and the forums), good organizational sense, and a willingness and ability to follow directions. Actual programming / coding and mapping abilities are not needed (though you should at least be able to tell the difference between a nice map and a bad one). The amount of time you will need to be able to spend on this position will vary with the situation, but if there is a lack of time during a certain period it will obviously be understandable.

If you are not interested or cannot apply for some reason, but know someone that might, please let them know. To apply for this position or if you have any questions, please post on the forums in this topic, or contact me with the information below:

We need the community's help again in deciding on an issue. Question 2 asks whether we should wait for a better base engine or go ahead with the coding and move forward now. For details and to submit your thoughts and opinions, go to this thread on the forums. Responses are preferred before Thursday evening.

We got the host computer fixed, so we will resume working on the game soon. Also, a fix of sorts has been put up for that problem in Eclipse we were waiting on. I'll be testing the updated server with the fix sometime this weekend, and I'll try and post an update after something happens with that.

Not that we had a date set or anything, but we've come across two major problems that are basically halting most work on the project.

First, the Eclipse engine (which we're trying to use as our base) is working on an update - one that will fix a ton of the problems we're dealing with now. So instead of working on these problems and never getting anywhere, we're just going to wait and let them fix it for us. The only downfall to this is that we don't have any idea when they'll get the update available and stable.

Second, my desktop (the host PC) has a problem with its power source, and will therefore not turn on. We're trying to get it sent to someone to fix, but let's just say we're having a problem getting it to the guy. So we can't work on mapping or developing either right now... yay us.

Let's all hope that Eclipse gets their updates out and stable very soon.

Over the past few months we've managed to prepare the classes, finish up about three fields and dungeons, complete most of the first tier of items and Spells, and most of Mac Anu. And recently, Rott coded the new Gate system for us, which will be going through testing monday. Here's about what's left to be done before we release the Open Beta:
- Implement and test the gate
- Code in a minor (but necessary) change
- Map Mac Anu's interior (shops, etc.)
- Finish Field 1 (DrunkenNinja's area - he's been having trouble with his net)
- Finish setting up the first tier of items and Spells

After that's done, we will let players come in and start helping us test in the Open Beta. An account wipe may not be needed, but is possible, once the first full version is released. Also, the first tier of Arts (physical skills) will be added in if there is time. Otherwise, they will be added during the Open Beta period.
