Project Name: ETL
Latest release 10.11.2014
Have you ever wanted to watch an RPG being made, from the ground up? Does talk about BBcode, image compression, and Functions turn you on? Are you looking for a professional, talented, and sexy person to look up to? If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions then you are in the right place. Not only am I sexy but I am also very professional at being a professional and designing professional games. As I always say, "You don't need experience, if you have passion".
My goal in this RPG... I really don't like using the term RPG. Isn't every game a roll-playing game? I'd like to consider my game as a "not-so" interactive experience. What does that mean? I believe that people/players enjoy being told what to do. How many times have you logged into a new MMO just to spend the first hour customizing the bust size on your new female archer? When you finally login to the game world, how many times have you been overwhelmed with just dozens of UI windows, half finished tutorials, and game mechanics that make sense or take days to figure out what or why they are even there in the first place?
Let's take Everquest 1 for example. EQ1 is undoubtedly the most content rich and... this is turning into a blog post I think. Wanna read more? Come to my blog.

- Option Icons now appear when an inventory slot is selected/touched. (Now only triggers if there is at least one item in the slot)
- Each map now has two controller variables. One variable will control how many monsters spawn, the other will control the level range. This of course makes it very easy to change at a moments notice. Events with level 99 Wolfs in town? Saaaaweet!
