Forums created

Hi everybody,
I've created a Google Group sort-of-forum-thing over at http://groups.google.com/group/dune2. Please leave any comments you have over there in the correct place. I visit the forums often and I'll be slowly filling the pages up with information over time as well, so feel free to join up.

0.8 Update

Progress is ongoing and really starting to develop. A few minor design changes get thrown in here and there, but it's all about finishing the code conversion and making things playable again right now. At the current rate of things I should have something that at least behaves like the RC3 within a month. After that the priorities will be, in order:
1. AI routines
2. Multiplayer syncing
3. Code optimization
4. New ideas
Stay tuned and help support this project in any way you can.

Also, by the way, that bit I said last time about "freeing" up units from cell-to-cell movement... that's a load of crap. I tried it out a little and didn't like it one bit, so we're back to the original Dune 2-style of unit movement.
