Happy New Year and Happy Holidays -

No update for December? Here is the latest about the Romtha project! The new GUI has been implemented for the server browsing interfaces and 'tab' menu. However the other GUI development tasks took a back seat to an issue discovered while testing client side game hosting. The issue prevented folks from joining other player hosted games. This resulted in players only being able to connect to our Wet Fire Games (WFG) hosted servers. After lots of eggnog and falling asleep in the strangest of positions, I can proudly say that the issue has been resolved.

As mentioned in the November update, we're still moving along. Due to the bug delay, a new release will be available on the website for download in a couple of hours from now. This release will have the implemented GUI elements mentioned above. The build will be released as a Prototype and all naming conventions on the site will also be changed to reflect the games status as a 'prototype' since technically this is the state of our project.

Our February post will include updates about our Character inventory, skills, and other menu screens that are in our closed testing build. The features work but are going through some bug testing and beautification! The goal is to have those features released in the next prototype build for February's post.
