As of June 15th, 2012, we have so far raised and donated $34,494.20 for Child’s Play! That’s $3752.31 since our December update, all of which has already gone directly to the charity. In 2011 we managed to raise a total of $20,212.18, which smashed our 2010 numbers and well more than doubled our original goal…
Whew! It’s been a busy month and a half since A Valley Without Wind 1.0 launched. The release notes are available online in full, and I won’t even attempt to summarize all that has happened during this period. Microsoft Word informs me that the release notes are about 48,500 words long (the equivalent of 194…
This one is the third release candidate of the day, and hopefully the last release prior to the official 1.1 version. There were a couple of more performance issues still present in the prior RC version that we’ve now fixed, but beyond that all other issues that we’ve deemed important enough to go into 1.1…
This one is the second release candidate of the day. There are still a couple of very teeny things we want to fix up this morning, but aside from that this is going to be the 1.1 version unless someone finds a problem. So if there’s a problem, we definitely want to know about it!…
This one is yet another release candidate. There are still a couple of very teeny things we want to fix up this morning, but aside from that this is going to be the 1.1 version unless someone finds a problem. So if there’s a problem, we definitely want to know about it! In the prior…

This one does yet some more polish/fixes, as well as adding some new content. The largest bit of new content is an entire new region type/biome (for the first time since beta started). The visuals and feel of this new region type (craggy highlands) are already really different from the other region types, but they’ll…
This one takes another step back from doing release candidates for the official 1.1. Sigh. It’s not that the game isn’t ready for 1.1 — things are extremely polished at this point, and we’re seeing diminishing numbers of small things that need to be tweaked each day prior to 1.1. However, E3 has been more…
This one has another batch of changes and fixes, as we’re winding down toward finally releasing the official of 1.1. I don’t think it would be wise of us to try for that today, because I want a bit more testing time with it, so probably tomorrow is the day at this point. If you…
This one has a ton more polish, including addressing the anachronism missions bug as well as a variety of seeding bugs. Not sure if we’ll go live with the official 1.1 tomorrow or not, because of the scope of these changes. If you see any issues with the new version, or play a bunch with…
