Just bringing everybody up to date on what’s going on: I’d been hoping to start the MS12 testing last weekend, but the last couple features ran long. It’s all been taken care of now, though! The build is now pretty much ready to go. What’s not ready to go is all the logistics around how…
New today: we now have support for towns and monster zones which have holes in them. I don’t actually know why anyone would really want to do that, but it was important for getting things set up for buildings that have an influence in particular regions outside of themselves. Still pretty much on track for…
We’re getting really close to reaching Milestone 12. Milestone 12 is primarily a user interface milestone; solidifying a lot of thinking around exactly how the user edits the world, and is mostly focused on towns and monster zones. I think I’m pretty pleased with what’s going on, there. It also has solidified a lot of…
I’ll confess; I’ve never figured out how to make animated gifs work well. They always wind up tiny, grainy, low-frame-rate, and huge to download. So it’s great that one can upload videos to Twitter directly, instead of having to convert them into those terrible animated gifs. But Twitter is very, very fussy about what formats…
Apologies for the clickbaity headline! Since MMORPG Tycoon 2 was greenlit about a month ago, I’ve been finding myself giving Greenlight advice to a lot of people who are struggling. And rather than typing out that same advice over and over again every couple days, I figured I’d put the advice here, so I can…

But as I’ve worked…
It’s been a very technical week for me, since MMORPG Tycoon 2 was greenlit! Apologies for the lack of images in this post; I actually haven’t done anything that’s affected how the game looks! Here’s a rundown of what I’ve been up to in the last seven days: Worked around a bug which caused a…
MMORPG Tycoon 2 has been Greenlit! We were greenlit as part of the very first Greenlight batch after we went live, which is fantastic! We finished at rank 22 out of about 2400 total games on Greenlight at the time. So it’s all in progress! Short blog post today; I’ll post more about the new…
MMORPG Tycoon 2 is now on Greenlight! If you use Steam, please go vote for us if you haven’t already! So MMORPG Tycoon 2 has now been up on Greenlight for seven days, and we’re now sitting at rank 27 out of the 2,300 games currently on Greenlight! It’s been amazing to see so much…
