i haven't heard any new updates on anything for windemere, and the team is way behind, if you check out the project status page. please don't let windemere go to waste, team. the fate of the sequel to dreamweaver depends on windemere.

Check here-http://dink.sourceforge.net/
and the changelog. Last count its going well, but if someone could help with the editor that would mean there is something useable by months end
*edit* Nice that you guys are looking forward to Windemere, but something this big takes time, especialy to get it right! I've made over 1600 graphic frames and I haven't even seen the editor yet. The engine hasn't reached beta yet. I would make Dmods smaller, but I wouldn't stop making them. This is gonna be done right.

Um, if your dmod "depends on windemere", why are we making it backwards-compatible?

because as well as being backwards-compatible, it will offer new features that are vital to some of the stuff i need to do in my new dmod

What new features?! The first release of Windemere will be feature-identical to Dink. We're only going to add the extra goodness when the codebase is mature and stable enough.

Well, the variable limit will have been lifted. And I think I set the per-screen sprite limit at 666...

I think Windemere was attacked by fire boncas or some sort and Dink has to save Windemere. This was featured in some DMOD somewhere in the Downloads page. Someone could go check it out.

I think you missed Shinryuu's point there Glenn. I thought it was a joke, and quite an amusing one too.

Yes, that's exactly what he is talking about Glenn.

At first, I thought it was a clever joke, but after scanning the board and I'm starting to think I gave him too much credit.

Shinryuu talking about Windemere getting attacked by bonkas and Dink saving it.
I picture a firebonka chewing on my hardrive( right on the Windgraphics folder) and Dink writing c++(helping you with the editor???).

I think he's hinting that "Dinky Dimensions Thwee!" will take place in Windemere...oh wait it was destroyed in "Dinky Dimensions Too"

I'm trying no to, be it's pretty hard. Did you read the thread at all before posting? It has nothing to do with that Windemere.

It's nice you are trying to help people though.

Oh... Sorry SabreTrout.

No need to be sorry, just check the thread next time, and make sure you haven't got the wrong (and worryingly sticky) end of the stick.

That came out... weird.

The sticky end of the stick?

SabreTrout is that some sort of sexual reference for Shinryuu?

In the event that you are referring to Sabre's sexual organ, the following are what would constitute an actual stick:

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=stick

The only definition that even loosely covers the male sexual organ is number 3. That one's debatable, considering the tip and all.

Edit: I forgot that our lovely dictator chose to censor a word that begins with the letter P and sounds similar to "Venus."
