Just Yammerin'

A little bored today. Writers block, etc. keeping me from wanting to get any work done. Sun is shining - so I think I'm going to go enjoy it in a few moments.

Just wanted to check in though since it's been over a month. Some bullet points:

• The voyagecraft server is down for the time being so I'm without a multi-player minecraft home.
• Rakuhana.org is where you want to head if you're not already on the forums there.
• Apparently EO keeps chugging along - for reasons beyond me.

I might get back to my playalong minecraft series a little later on. Maybe a music vid too. Something along the lines of:

Hey, U U U U.
This is crazy.
Plz Gimme free stuff.
Call me Newbie.

Later!

Minecraft Multiplayer Server

Hey all,

Just popping in. There's a new multiplayer minecraft server that houses some of the EO crowd. Here's the link.

Direct link: mc.voyagecraft.co.uk

Pop in and play.

If you're wondering...

I don't play EO that much but when I do:

Qwaartz, xWikkyx are my two characters.

The more you know.

Okay...so this is the next big thing being developed over by the Rakuhana crew. Alex and Zenpher have put together a browser based MMO concept and have been developing at a very rapid pace over the past 3 weeks.

Remember - this is 3 weeks worth of work in their spare time - took Vult-R roughly 3 years to get here.

Anyways - yes - they're using the EO sprite base but that's not going to be the end result - it's simply a matter of convenience as they work on proof of concept - they will bring on a pixel artist if it turns into a viable option for them.

What makes this exciting for me is a few things:

1. HTML5. This means that the game has the potential to be VERY cross platform. It already runs on Macs and PCs (optimum on Chrome right now). But think about it running on Ice Cream Sandwich Droid or iPad. I'm pushing them to ensure compatibility because I want to play on my tablet.

2. The developers. These aren't the hackers. They aren't the scammers. They aren't Sausage. They're motivated coders who actually do good work. And creating their own server code and their own client in 3 weeks is damned impressive.

3. The Old Guard - what's left of the real EO community hangs out at Rakuhana. Of all the EO related projects on the go - this is the one that has the potential to connect - especially for we who have no desire to play a bug and backdoor infested EOserv clone.

Anyways - check it out. It's way pre-alpha at this point but it's worth the look see.
