Well, I have decided to move this weblog to: http://www.santiagoz.com/blog !

You can get my RSS feed there... stay tuned!

Advanced over techniques a lot today, now you can setup your defensive deck.

Also enhanced the buddy setup for facets, now you can preview your buddy with different hair/beard styles.

Ok, so things are changing a bit. I am adding techniques you can use in battles.

This is a somewhat big change in the combat model and also adds some screens, but I think it is worth it, to make fighting a bit more interesting.

Also, Mr. JConde did some quality JS work over the item buying screen.

Done Today:
* UI Enhancements over the buy Item screen, now you can try items before buying them

I had been pushing it for too long, so one week ago I decided I would do it, I had to make the Roguelike World Map a dynamic website in which:

* Mantainance was possible and not manual
* People could add themselves out
* You could get a listing of people
* Different views could be developed

So I jumped on it. After something like 20 hours of work, users feedback and lots of coffee. It is available at http://www.roguetemple.com/map

Today, Mr. Konijin joined the dev team, hopefully we will pull out another view for the map, one that seeks to be even more roguelikish (I am talking about outputting HTML for the map instead of an image and locating people there instead of doing floating divs for each). It will probably look cool, and we already started!

Ok, after taking some important choices for the project (spliting it into two projects, as described on http://pixalnation.net ), I made some advancements toward the completion of the first one (pixalguild).

* Friend Requests model have been changed from user-> buddy to user -> user, which is much less clumsy
* The duel model has been changed, now you first pick your target, then the attacker.
* The profile page has lots of changes
* Each user has a main fighter now
* Lots of changes on messages and notifications.
