Great idea! It also makes it more fun for people to play by adding a competitive element imo.

When will market place be open? :o

Should we keep some sort of dev diary? Because it sometimes takes a while between updates.

Yes, give us a development diary/progress report (I like second one's name better) on the updates for the game. We're all dangerously curious about what's going on.

Couldn't you guys host an older version when you are still busy with an update?

Since they're actually two people, that should be possible.

Progress report added to website (go to News and click on the link in the most recent post)

Yay

According to the website, I've lost all my magic logs. :(

I've lost mine too. D:

Glad I never had any magic log =D

You really expected me to turn a blind eye when you dupe for 30 magic logs? ;) You haven't lost all btw, you still got 5.

Special easter themed server is UP now!

Not pinging hopefully?!?!

and I could never buy Birdie's in the first place =(

dupe? What's dupe? :l. How do you dupe? Is it a new feature or something? ;o

I spent ages on getting them D<

we spend ages getting those logs, and what is dupe? :l

And, the server doesn't exist. :l

Karrot Shire is a dupe hotel :(

He means you cheated

So duping is cheating? I'm still confused as to how I "duped" or what exactly I did that defines "duping". =l Well, I guess I can just do the same thing again. That took me forever though D<

You know he will just delete them (evily) agin, right?

You really need to get a life

No comment.

If you guys have serverlogs of somesort you'd know we didn't cheat for our logs, and... the server still doesn't exist.

The server was up yesterday and was shut down at about 9:30PM GMT I think.
Found quite a lot of secrets, 22! :D

Spaz18! please watch out website more often, we had a training yesterday, and having one every tuesday now at 15.00PM GMT. Btw, Wadlecury, I know Rag and I can't believe that he would be cheating.

Is this... DEAD? It can't be D:

I don't think so. Probably a MAJOR update in progress or something.

Since JJ2+ is now out, I've been wondering if that is gonna be used with KS.
Will we have to use normal JJ2 to join KS servers?

I think they'll make it compatible. Wouldn't make sense to make an addon for an outdated version of JJ2.

It would if it's DEAAAAAAAAD D: D:

[reassuring voice]

Of course it's not dead. It's just that there are a couple of things going on at the moment:
- Exam time!! omg, there goes my valuable time...
- We are looking at the possibility to make KS so that it would be single player with the option of multiplayer. i.e. you can host it yourself if you wish.
- We want to FINISH the storyline. We have some great new quest outlines, only we have to make them, which takes time. You know it would be disappointing if we took the time to host KS and there would be few new quests/features - we want it to be good. In other words, "it will be done when it's done".

Sorry to those hoping to see it back online in the short term. But I will only probably have the time to do some serious work on it in June (and seeing as I am the one who does all the programming, the project will probably not progress much until that time. Hopefully I will be able to persuade Carrotpie to work on the level some more).

So hang in there.

And of course, I will do my best to make the Util JJ2+ compatible. Though I can't see how it would not work anymore in relation to the old version. Oh well, I'd have to test that.

Any input is welcome, of course.

[/reassuring voice]

I see no reason that the utility should not work with jj2+.

JJ2+ apparently can display text on the jj2 screen.
If it could draw other stuff as well, I might consider building the entire utility on top of JJ2+. Much better integration & fullscreen!
No. Way too ambitious...
Still, I'd love to take a look at the jj2+ source to see how the text drawing is done.

I do belive jj2+ draws it's text by calling jj2's own text drawing function. And you can draw any other stuff if you really want.

Will you guys revive Karrot Shire....?

Yes, we will.

The project's getting better. I like it. Keep up the great work on this multiplayer online game. I can't wait to see this! :)

Well, if it will be hosted just a little more often, we should be able to test the stuff that's ready. ;)

When?

Well, the good news is that I've picked up work on it again. Let me unveil a bit for you. Mind you, it's still going to take a long time until we hit version 1.0.

Ingame CTF is about half finished, ingame duels are up next. In these competitive modes, you will be able to win money from your opponents.
When that is done, a high score system is up next (also a competitive element).
More secrets will be added. Finding secrets will give you hints for other secrets.
After that, some 10-20 more quests will be made at least.

And about hosting more often... We find that we do not have the energy to pull it off regularly (typical...). We want to have new stuff every time we host it, and we need to everything up to date! We think our newer model will work better (but we need to work it out first, obviously).

Wake up all you happy people!

i think game will die before karrot shrine is redy.
