[Tokratan-announce] Major Design Decision

[Wouter L. <lie...@ho...>]

Dear Subscribers (yes, the three of you!),

Yesterday, the core of the team decided that if we want to get a working =
Tokratan version anytime soon (meaning this year), we'd have to make =
some decisions.

The version of the Tokratan client we will develop will use isometric =
graphics, instead of the initial 3D graphics that we went for.
The implementation language will be Java, to allow rapid development and =
portability.

This design decision should also expand the user base to both =
non-windows users and users with less performant computers, since the =
game will be less graphically demanding.

An example screenshot of the map editor in development can be found =
here: http://tokratan.servegame.com/~wlievens/tokratan/shot1.JPG.

Announcement on the website will come when we have some material (read: =
screenshot) to show off.

Bye bye,
Wouter Lievens
Project Leader
