Quote: How long have you alreday worked on this game?
About a year and a half with one more year to go. There's a ton more that still needs doing though. Anyone interested in helping out feel free to email me.
Quote: For the water: Always use terrains for it! And then give them a river/ocean etc. shader with fallback function which means that the water also appears, when the player hasn't got a graphic card which supports shaders! For this case, use a normal water animation code for this terrain as in AUM36!
Thanks for the info. Haven't tackled using shaders yet, but I'll look back on this post when I'm ready to. (and yes, I agree that Pinnacle Studio 8 is very unstable on saving stuff (particularly large projects)).
