It's been months since any of the core team last made a blog post, and things look a mite more quiet then they actually are. Most notably, we seem to have missed our Sept. 30 deadline for a web client alpha release. While it's a thin replacement for an actual demo, allow me to write a brief update on things here.

Mid-August saw my first successful tests of the web client, playing Tic Tac Toe against a bot. After about a month more of tuning a tweaking, multiplayer support seemed to work, and we were on the verge of a releasable demo.

And then I lost my job, which provided an unfortunately sizable distraction. We tried to get a release out in early October anyway, but it was clear (after a rather unimpressive live demo we put on for some local friends) that it still needs more work, so back to the drawing board we went.

And there things remain, for now. I'm pushing back the alpha release date to Jan 1. Yes, this is originally when we said we'd have the beta done. But, being off by one letter isn't so bad.
