quick post,
we are doing a live event today on the PCD Music Lounge,
The Pussycat dolls are doing a video shoot, and hopping on to chat with fans today and tomorrow.
If you want to see what it's like with 100s of people running in a server at once install and log on :)

I gotta admit, this is pretty cool: "Kim" from the PussyCat Dolls using a Torque based product on a latptop.

"on screen you posted it's beta 4, but in real it's beta 5. but anyway, I just love your project!"
heh yep that's the same screen I posted last plan, hadn't taken any from today yet, it doesn't really look different though, more gameplay/ behind the scene tweaks for beta 5. But I couldn't post a plan without some eyecandy, nobody would read it :)
" can you share a bit how did you organized the online streaming of music?"
we are using FMOD to do the streaming. We use triggers to tell when to cross fade the streams that are playing. Each server has the same streams right now, but there are about 4 or 5 different streams going in different rooms. We have DJ's do different sets for us and change them all the time. Anything particular you wanted to know about the technical side of it?

whew done for the day. I don't know what it topped out at, the SF server was pushing 150 people, and I think SF and miami never got bigger than about 80 people."on screen you posted it's beta 4, but in real it's beta 5. but anyway, I just love your project!"

Heh, just teasing, thats a pretty cool project, a great achievement, even if it is centred around the Spice Girls ver 2.0. ;)
Sad to hear about Unearthed Gods though, I followed your progress with interest. My AI stuff is heavily inspired by what you wrote.
Well, good luck with your endeavors, hope you get back to RPG-stuff eventually.

I hope you manage to find the time, I know how difficult it is juggling a full time programming job and personal game dev. Damn this frail human bodies need to sleep!
And I'd love to read more about what you've done since your last update. :)
Keep the RPG flame alive brutha!

But I'm looking at your fantastic work on this project and reading about how you'ld like to do an RPG sometime.
Alot of our community members have commented on how fantastic of a job you've done with this, and how it's kinda sad you don't have time to make your dream RPG.
So go ahead and register at mydreamrpg.com (if you haven't already done so) and then PM Tom or xclondx and have them look at this thread per my request. I'll take it from there.
We'll help you get you a jumpstart on your RPG :)
Regards,
Dreamer

Thanks for the comments and offer for help. I'm actually a good way along on a single player RPG UnEarthed Gods check it out. www.unearthedgames.com I know it's difficult to tell from the screenshots I have there, but if you check out my other plan blogs here and posts in the dev diary you can get an idea of where I'm at.
Pretty much all of the RPG specific code I need is in there, although some more custom stuff will surely come before it's done. Right now I'm at the stage where all the content just has to be finished, and the story worked on...which is sort of a fun place to be, although a different challenge.
Thanks!
