Alternatively (or rather: additionally ;-) you can support this website by buying from Amazon through the link below - it won't cost you any extra but will provide some extra income to me to support ADOM development. Thanks for considering!

Hi!

I wish you all a happy 2008! I just wanted to let you know that I already have the working blog setup in my local system and already love to post updates. Due to some technical upgrades required by my provider I'm not yet able to upload the new blog system to the website but this will hapen as soon as possible. You'll notice it when the website has a new front page in the next couple of days/weeks.

In the meantime I work on the JADE code to currently implement the first fully functional monsters (including equipment, etc.). More on that in the blog once it is up...



Fable Thomas Biskup recommends: Fable
"I love Fable for its details. The graphics are wonderful, the difficulty level is exactly right for me and you can almost feel how Fable II, III and IV will look. Hey, Fable IV might rival JADE in its level of detail ;-) We'll see who's finished first ;-) But seriously: Fable IMHO is one of the most wonderful and intriguing role playing games of the past years and it got me back into computer gaming. I love the quests, I love the detail and I love how all your actions change your character. Although there is so much that could be added to the game, it already now is a wonderful engine and I'm very much looking forward to future versions. Absolutely recommended!"

More details about this item can be found here: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany.

In Association with Amazon Please support this website by going to Amazon through one of the links on this website (if you want to shop at Amazon at all that is ;-). It doesn't cost you any surcharge, but provides me with ADOM-related income. Thanks!
