Hi everybody! Today, 09.04.2010, at russian forum, in
conference topic, Cvet answered a lot of questions. Half of them are related with TLA server only, but there were some, that may be interesting to you. I will try to translate those:
1. The first release of TLA and SDK will be at summer, jule-august, can't tell you precisely yet.
2. There will be two server versions: empty one (with minimal content), to create your own game from the begining, and TLA-based, which you will be able to use as an example, to create mods, or just to play.
3. Also, if nothing goes wrong, there will be single-player version of engine.
4. "In this case I will be able to apply any settings to the engine, and finally create the game I am waiting for two years on my personal server?"-<ПирогсЧСВ_и_с_демагогией>.
Yes, you will, if you have enough desire and opportunities.
5. "Will the engine contain global-map-tools?" -<Krizalis[in_FOG]>.
Probably, yes.
6. "Will there be cross-platform version of engine?" -<stone>.
No, may be I will work on it later.
7. "Will it be possible to completly disable turn-based mode?"
Yes, it will. And there will be a lot of options to change global variables.
8. I will make the official announcement at the site, when I have time for it.
Ps: hope I didnt break any rules by putting this info here
