Well, it's been a while since I've made an update and since only one person figured out my last riddle, I figured a new, 1000 word one would be in order.

Check it out:

[Fondusi]

Now, this looks good!

...Did you make a dummy account and comment on your own news post?
The game looks great! I like the rain effect. Weather makes a game world seem a lot deeper.

Is weather a thing/going to be a thing, or are some areas just always going to be raining? A procedurally generated weather system would be rad.

[Drackir]

Weather will, as in the old client, be randomized. Each region has it's own weather types which will change of their own accord. The only problem with the old system was that there wasn't actually any graphics to go with it.

Edit: Also, I have NO idea who Fondusi is.

I noticed 2 things here.

Both of were the title of the window.

[Kinewa]

Do you still have those sprites I made back in the day?

[Drackir]

@Megell:
I have no idea what you're talking about.

@Kinewa:
I probably have them somewhere. Were they in the beta? What did they look like?

[Kinewa]

I had a girl with green pigtails and a dude in a meat butcher's apron.

[Drackir]

I'll have a look.

[Megell]

@ drack: I just have always had a bit of an obbession with map editors.

[Drackir]

@Kinewa: Couldn't find them. At least, they're not in the spritesets. I probably have the files somewhere.

@Megell: Haha. I see. We actually just started working on the game client. We've been working on the Map Editor since August, though development was slow through October because we've been working on a new site and a site for a client. They're almost done now though so hopefully we'll have people walking about the maps soon!

[Caseyweederman]

Well, show us your new project!

[Drackir]

The new project is in the planning stages and we don't plan on having working graphics until most of the engine is finished, so that's a few months off. I will add a post here about that soon, though.

[Caseyweederman]

Coooool.
So is Fondusis on the back burner for now?
You know, 'free' to play games can be very, very profitable. ;)

[Drackir]

Yeah. We discussed monetization schemes for Fondusi's but I'm not really happy with any of them.

So we want to break into the console scene and, eventually, the mobile phone market.
