January 1st, 2004 - 5% done
Well, we have decided to switch development to Visual Basic, and C++. We still have all
tiles and sprites, just need to code it up a bit more. We added a new screenshot, of the
main server application. It seems now that we are looking for a person to host it, when
the time comes, The requirements are: Broadband on 24/7, and an ISP that allows
server hosting, with, but not limited to about 5gb of harddrive space, and atleast
190mb of RAM, and no bandwidth restrictions (Also running Windows98 up)! Remember, its not all required, but
will be, for hosting the TCG server. All maps will be stored on a webserver,
and automaticly updated by the client. - PS email me

Currently, most of the sprites and tiles are already done. Right now, I am heading towards coding more into the game. It will contain a complex chat system, and will allow very many people to connect to each other. So far, you can travel into 1 main room, and 2 mini dungeons in search of cards. Dont be frightened, we are only 12% done, and still working. The complete game is due by Febraury of 2004. That gives us enough time to finish and optimize the game. One nice function LoZ-TCG will have, is the ability to automatically update the game with new rooms and levels. One very exciting feature is... You will be able to auction off cards for any price ( as long as you have it ) and it will be posted on an all access website.
Soon after the final release, a program to create your very own server will be available to you. To use it, you will need at the most, a computer, atleast a 56k Dialup. You will need to allow people to connect to your pc for more than 10 minutes to be able to get a trade in.
