Minions of Mirth - The Titan
First thinigs first. Magnus Blikstad of WiT Entertainment totally rocked out on this guy!!! He's the biggest playable race to date. The ever-mighty, power wielding, good natured, gem encrusted, TITAN!!!:



Wooooot!!!!

Some time ago I wrote some automated game documentation generating stuff. This has been extremely helpful to player. It has also been invaluable at spotting World Database errors. Another benefit is that it shows us where we need more content :)

Ever since doing this, I have wanted this information available while playing. There is now an extensive hyperlinked World Encyclopedia available from inside the game.

From this:

Looking fantastic! I'm wondering how much Python contributes to making so much progress so quickly. :)

Awsome!
Magnus is cranking the models out like crazy.
It might be time to retire the dwarven warrior for a Titan.

Yay for my titan character!!! It totally rocks now! :)

The hyperlinked encyclopedia is very very cool technologically.

But my first impulse is to say, "Won't this spoil the sense of discovery for the player?" But considering that in many MMORPGs players pretty much constantly tabbed out to informational webpages ANYWAY, maybe it's not so bad.

Still kinda bugs me though.

I totally agree and this is why it will dynamically fill in as you explore :)
