[Lightbringer-devel] First Release?

[Seth Y. <sya...@us...>]

Hi all,

It is good to release early, and the sooner we get a release out, the sooner we 
will show that we are not a dead project but in fact a very active one.

The code is progressing nicely. We've got walking/running around, jumping, even 
saving and loading.

But the player is trapped in a boring stone room! We need some art to make it 
interesting for a first release. We need a character model and nice-looking 
world to walk around in.

The first release will demonstrate the basic features of the game. It will be 
like celtest (the CEL test app) with a nice GUI and art. The framework will be 
there for the next release which will include combat and all that is necessary 
for it, like stats and inventory/equipment management (more on the next release 
later).

Things to do before the first release:

1) (Art) Model the starting world

2) (Art) Model a player character

3) (Code) Eliminate Python dependency

4) (Code) Eliminate Cal3d dependency - pending b2cs gets usable skeletal genmesh 
exporter

Regards,
Seth
