Today was the last day of the Conference here in Cologne, and I attended only one seminar. TomDuBois from OnLive held it and I think that it was the most important one of the conference. Two companies have been discussed here as Cloud Gaming providers, Gaikai and OnLive. I’ve always frowned upon the idea because of hardware... »

Allright so I’ve been in Cologne for the GDC now for two days and I thought I’d write a short sum-up of my impressions. The absolutely most interesting thing you notice is the sort of disruption that “browser” based (runescape) and “social” games (farmville) have caused in the industry. Most noticably social games since they... »

Since there was so short notice and it’s on a weekday in a small town people have a hard time meeting up. We’ll be at least 5-10 people but the more the merrier! We’ll be grilling, bathing, maybe playing some beach games, listen to music and in general stay soft and talk. If the weather... »

Allright I’ve decided on a date for the Wurm meeting in Motala, Sweden. We’ll meet August the 10th at 17.00 hrs on the beach below Restaurant Vättershall. There will be some kind of noticable gathering symbol. Everyone’s invited! That’s all I have for now but I’ll keep you posted! You can discuss attendance in the forums... »

I didn’t get to finish the fences or titles before I head off to vacation but I’m going to work a few rainy days anyways so they’ll arrive when that happens. Those submerged creatures I wrote about have been coded. The models aren’t finished yet but they’re coming as well. Now off to get some... »

So, feature creep these last two months. Or depending on how you see it putting important systems in place and removing a lot of bugs. Today I feel as if I’m resting on a ledge close to the top. This latest climb lasted for a few months and we have conquered hazards and obstacles such as movement... »

It’s slowly starting to sink in. I am slowly starting to believe it myself. I am looking at angles. Questioning reality. The minds and actions of others. Is it a scam? Has someone rigged the whole vote?  Nobody has pulled the carpet below my feet yet and it is slowly starting to make sense. Wurm may actually... »

The thing I’ve been working on the last weeks is something I call mission code. I guess you could call it quest code instead since it’s pretty much indistinguishable. The main purpose of it is to create missions in the tutorial though, and later epic scale missions performed by hundreds of players at once... »

On the wild server, the Mol Rehan kingdom is under large pressure from the champions of the Horde of the Summoned. Their priests are said to create death zones from which there is meagre chances to escape and few are lucky to emerge alive. I’m currently debugging the new deed system. It’s a lot of... »

I want to wish all the team members and all the players of Wurm a really Merry Christmas with all the snow, jingles and colors that come with it! »
