Happy holidays everyone! I’ve had a quiet couple of days (at least, in terms of development!), but now that boxing day has come and gone, I’m back to poking around with MMORPG Tycoon. In the screenshot here, you’re looking at a couple of mountainous districts, separated by a couple of dead flat districts. And I’ve…

Second, it’s way too slow in its current form, and will need some extreme optimisation.…
