26/July/2008 (Interrupt)

19/March/2008 (Powerc80)

  • I didn't have much time this week to work on the project, as real life work got in the way again, but I will continue to update the site and the news whenever I get the chance. In the meantime, Interrupt has been taking care of spammers who attack our wiki.

  • I was busy this week, and as a result, I did not have any time to work on the project this week, but I thought I'd work on updating the site again.

16/February/2008 (Powerc80)

[edit] 2007

[edit] December

25/December/2007 (Powerc80)

  • It's that time of year again, and so in the spirit of the season, I wish all of the project members a very 'Merry Christmas'.

13/December/2007 (Powerc80)

  • DragonSlayer has added a nice Christmas logo to our Dungeon Hack site, which makes our site feel more in the Christmas mood. Another thing, our wiki is continually vandalized by bots using the "W" page (see the "Recent changes" page for more information), one of these days I'll have to get around to deleting those if I can.

10/December/2007 (Powerc80)

  • I haven't been able to get a lot of time during the Christmas season to accomplish any serious amount of work on the project, due to the fact I've been rather busy this time of year. I've also noticed that the OGRE logo has been added to the bottom of the page.

[edit] November

11/November/2007 (DragonSlayer)

  • There is a smaller logo for the top left hand corner called Dungeonhack_logo_small.gif although it needs to be set by an admin in LocalSettings.php I believe.

10/November/2007 (Powerc80)

  • I noticed that someone added a Dungeon Hack logo to the top of the site, which I think looks pretty good, and it makes us look a bit more like a professional project. The only thing we seem to need for the site is a "$wgLogo" for use in the corner of the page.

[edit] October

27/October/2007 (Powerc80)

  • It seems like someone has been editing the wiki, which is probably a good sign, as it means that we're still on track to accomplishing something. It look nice so far, so keep up the good work, but if someone has the time, try to make a decent logo we can use for this site.

1/October/2007 (Powerc80)

  • I haven't had as much time as I used to a few months back, and I haven't been checking the forums regularly, but I am not dead, and neither is this wiki. Feel free to add whatever content is necessary to help those of us project members who can still work on it.

[edit] August

14/August/2007 (Powerc80)

  • The new "Port Las" page created by zingbat, which details information of the town and it's surrounding environment, has been added to the "Game Text Archive" section. In the meantime, zingbat has been working on additional game information, while I have been working on a wood stove for the tavern.

10/August/2007 (Powerc80)

In the meantime, I've been working on various models for the tavern, while zingbat and act smiley continue to discuss and create the setting in which the game will take place.

[edit] July

27/July/2007 (Powerc80)

11/July/2007 (Powerc80)

  • I've organized some more of zingbat's documentation into the "Game Development Information" page, which you can find in the "Dungeon Hack Wiki Links" section. I also have been working on a new chair model to go with the cheap wooden table model.

5/July/2007 (Powerc80)

  • As the "Dungeon Hack Wiki News" section of the main page began to get cluttered with too much news, I created a "News Archive" page, which contains old news that I've archived, and you can find it in the "Dungeon Hack Wiki Links" section. In the meantime, I've been working on a new wooden quarterstaff, and ajuss continues work on the NPC guard model.

[edit] June

29/June/2007 (Powerc80)

20/May/2007 (Powerc80)

  • No major news to report this week, but various forum members have been hard at work making 3d renders and discussing the project. I also created the section "Addition Links" containing a list of programs relevant to our project.
