Boosted productivity, and a pic of my new netbook



I just wanted to show my new production machine in action, though you might have seen this already if you're following SU on twitter. It's the HP Mini and I was finally able to workaround resolution issues so that gives me two to three hours a day I get to spend testing and editing on my way to/from work.

Specifically, I've added footprints and and finishing up another minigame. In addition, 6.06 is more or less done. I'll update it once I nail everything and figure out any other issues. This should hopefully be my last revision before my next major release. That's all and thanks for reading.

So how far would you say the game is from begin -fully- completed? A good ways away, or is it close?I want a finished version of this so bad. =O

I remember the first time I gave it a download (back when it had the name "Dragon Heart," I think) and got lost after venturing out in to the world map once completing some temple (or after that...can't quite remember =/)

I think I'll give it another download!

Also, nice little contraption! Although...it'd be a tad too small for me. =O

Hehee, It's about 2/3s done. I'm really hoping to wrap things up in about two years.

It's gone through a lot since the Dragon Heart days, but of course there's still tons that needs to be done. :]

I've actually been considering getting a netbook for stuff like this- what do you think of the HP Mini thus far?

I like it! The main issue I've had with it is its low resolution, but for simple production and testing it holds its power. Plus it's very handy for it to be portable! I got the upper-end one and it has VGA ports and 150gb disk space (as opposed to the lower-end having no VGA port and 15gb disk space...)

For web-browsing, full-screen mode is also a must!
