Release 0.0.4 of the game code has now been uploaded, accompanied by a new screenshot. See the changelog for details.
You may have noticed quite a bit of SVN activity in the past few days. This is in sharp contrast to the several-month lack of updates. The project hit a stand-still when I ran into issues with the scenemanager and the GUI version I spent weeks learning and coding into this project. I have continued to monitor the problem over the course of the past few months, only to find out that the GUI I had chosen, based on a commercial project, has now gone partially defunct. Therefore I am looking into new GUI systems, and will be ripping/replacing code as I go. Hopefully I will be able to get a new, stable release out in the near future.
Since the updates to Ogre and CEGUI were scheduled, there hasn't been any project updates posted here or on the project website. The changes to Ogre and CEGUI put a temporary halt to the project work, as porting code to the new version proved difficult.

I'm proud to announce that a wiki has been set up! It will be the main webpage for the project. It can be reached via swordsandstaffs.sourceforge.net or by clicking on project->web site
Obviously it needs work, but it is a good start.
Enjoy! Please provide feedback!
Updated core ruleset - now version 0.0.4 - has been uploaded. An updated Gantt chart is now also available (as version 2). Please note that the gantt chart has been changed for the version 0.0.4 coding section.
Also, the Gantt chart will follow a different version format since it will be updated less often.
A new version is now available. This version includes improved/updated doxygen documentation, a basic "module" and character framework, along with the first release of the RPG ruleset.
I have decided to try using the Gantt project to create Gantt charts for this project. Tracking progress is a great idea, and will give everyone something to look forward to.
Gantt charts are in both .gan and .html format, and are available for download in the download section under Project Management
