Website Improvements
Wednesday, 22 February 2012
Morning all,

I've taken some time to polish up the website a bit. I've updated various pieces of software we use, various forum plugins and I'll get around to moving us over to the latest version of MyBB later tonight.

I've also added a little script which checks the game server status every 10 minutes. If the server is down an image will appear at the top of the portal and community pages letting you know we're aware of the issue and working to fix it.

This is for your benefit as well, but the main purpose is to let me know. Before I'd have no idea if the server crashed.

I've also gone around and fixed all the htaccess and subdirectory re-directs. Now if something goes wrong or you visit a naughty place you'll be instantly sent back to t...
Crystalshire v1.8.0

Evenin' all!

This is not the big update we had planned. I simply decided to port over the current game data and let all the small changes which have piled up be released.

Here are the changes:

New Buttons
Saturday, 4 February 2012
Evening all,

If you come across a button which is not in the new style can you please PM me a screenshot of it? I'd like to get around to replacing all existing buttons with the new style.
Site Update
Wednesday, 1 February 2012
Hello all!

Sorry about the radio silence for the last month or so. I've been pretty damn busy with work and real life commitments.

Exciting stuff has been happening. I've been promoted to the head developer of the support website used by medical professional across the country, so as you can imagine things have been a bit hectic. I'm also set to get the biggest pay rise that has ever been authorised and I'm currently looking around for a new apartment closer to the office. The good news is that this gives me a bit more money to play around with in terms of personal projects like Crystalshire.

I've re-thought the game plan for the next engine update due to my current schedule and I'm going to port over all existing content (maps included) to run on the...
