All alone

As you may know Dev Admin is without internet at the moment, from lengthy telephone conversations with him, it also appears that while he has no internet, he can not conect the the database which contains the code for updating the game.

So what we are doing at the moment, besides hounding the broadband company daily, is coming up with new and exciting directions to take the game. Unfortunately not having the internet isn't helpful as you can imagine. In the world before internet, I am amazed anything was ever done. Alas, we stuggle forward.

We have come up with several key ideas, which are all now on paper. To give you a brief glimplse of these, here is an example:

• Food
• Alliances will be a vast expansion to the game.
• Ships may become damaged or fall into disrepair if not used.

These are just some of the things we we're thinking about, they may not even happen. We will keep you posted.

In another good news story, we have now today passed 800 active user accounts. This is a huge triumph considering we have not yet advertised the game. Today, I am concentrating on updating a few things around the site, and researching translating the entire game into other languages. I was thinking about Google, however on testing it appears that if your logged into a page, and you use Google to translate it redirects you to their page, which doesn't work, rather annoying. What we may have to end up doing is literally getting every single piece of script and translating it and have the user select their language. That however is a huge undertaking.

Never the less we press on and forward. Till next time.
