Another Update (a while later)

So this should be a reasonably short update, just putting this here for reference reasons.

Sorry for neglecting this update blog for so long, it's really a valuable resource and should be something I use more often, definitely.

Since the last update, updates in team members:

jackjt8's been given the role of Community Manager and has been doing valuable research for me, and really helping hold this project together.

Liddy's helping with the 2D Graphical Design and has made some brilliant banners for me, which I have put in the first post on the pi forums thread: go look there for more frequent updates, also.

That's all the roles currently assigned, but a few other people have been exchanging emails or PMs with me and are interested on working on the project, which is great, so thanks for all the support and interest!

Programming progress:

There still isn't a first 'version' of the PI-MMO, but I've been working on a back-end for the project by creating smaller test versions of various features.

I've managed to get some 3D simple colored graphics that can be moved around, and are moved by the server. However, I've got both machines on a local network and it's still rather slow, as I'm just using a couple of Bs at the moment.

Graphics progress:

Rather slow. We've only just got our first person who's happy to do graphical stuff, and we've got some banners, but that's it, but we've got some graphics on the pipeline, to make a feasible prototype.

MAJOR UPDATE:

This project is going to be pi2 based, and for the pi2, so pi1s might not even be able to use it as at the moment. While in very early development, we're just doing one version for the pi 2 that would work on that, and seeing what we can do for the pi 1 after a few stable builds are released with a feasible game: the in-dev umstable versions will only support the pi 2, but might run on the pi 1: to summarise:

WE ARE ONLY STARTING BY SUPPORTING THE PI 2 WITH RASPBIAN

  3. There is a free working Raspberry Pi MMO http://lostravenmmo.com
    It runs on the Pi 400 and will probably run on a Pi 4 as well.
