Just thinking of the possibilities for future games is exciting. Some thing like DoP 2 with random towns, even more dynamic quests, world modifiers, and multiplayer would just rock.Working on seeing how hard it would to be play movies in the engine today (nothing fancy of course). -> Finally have my movie code working correctly, just need to clean up a little bit and get it working on the Mac. -> Got all of my movie stuff finished finally, including support for the Mac and all of the little details. I was investigating.working on movie stuff because we might add some kind of intro movie to the expansion. Nothing really fancy of course since we don't have an entire department devoted solely to cinematics.

Ok, I setup a new forum for the next game here. Right now it will probably just be guessing at what we are doing, but eventually we'll use it for real discussion about the next game.

I've been playing and looking at a bunch of games this week for design ideas. I can't say which ones yet because that wouldn't be a hint.

It must be great to play games all week and call it "research".

It's usually not as fun as it sounds. It's kind of like a writer reading the first chapter or the blurb on the back of like 50 books. You get a feel for the game/book, but you really aren't "playing/reading" it. So far I've played or looked at about 30 games in the past few days.

Now I might actually play a few of them more and that would probably be fun.

I'm now putting direct hint tweets over in a hints thread in the new game forum instead of here.

We've been working on the art for a little while, the design was really just started, and code wise the only thing that has happened is the codebase was split.
