There is a new roadmap (kk_goals.html) in the alpharoadmap package in the alpha file releases.
Also, my schedule has changed *again*
I am now available Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, generally between 12-10PM Central Time (US).

The Kritter Kreator project is now 2 years and 5 days old!
2 new projects are related to Kritter Kreator:
myServer ( http://sf.net/projects/freeserver ) was started by Sergei Kozyrenko who was working on the client and server in Java here. He is now working on the 3rd Alpha release. This server will also be usable in other games.
GOaL (Game Object Language at http://sf.net/projects/goallang ) is the project that will handle the XML maps and game objects for Kritter Kreator. This language will also be usable in other games.... read more
The project's focus will now mainly be on the Client and 3D parts of Kritter Kreator. Everyone in the project should please indicate which part they are interested in (also Docs, Translation and Website)
Client needs to be maintained for compatibility with myServer (sf.net/projects/freeserver) and 3D still needs work.
I will be moving, so I will probably next be available in the middle of next month. I am NOT leaving the project and I never will! I will also be getting a Macintosh. (iMac 17")... read more
I have just thought of another part of the game that hasn't been addressed yet. Most RTS games have resources such as wood and stone, if you have suggestions for resources in Kritter Kreator or anything related to this topic please create a new thread in the Open Discussion Forum.
Thanks

The project has now been around for 1 year (give or take a few days, hours, minutes, etc.)
Good Work to all who have helped so far!

I recently posted a update on Linuxgames.com. It isn't on the main page anymore so just search for Kritter Kreator. The latest one is this "new" (recent) post.
The first alpha of the Engine is out; I haven't been able to use it, working on getting OpenGL drivers for my old S3 Virge board. Also, the Logo Contest is over and Brandon is working on a voting page so we can have our official logo.

We've had over 10,000 page views and 1,000 downloads! Plus we're number 11 in the top game foundry projects. Almost into the Top Projects on the main SF site!!! And this is just 51 days after the project was founded. :)
