Hello everybody,

It took a long time (more then a half year) but now again i am working on this game. This week I investigated more then 20 hours to setup a new basis line. I have found great free graphics on internet which I will use. Previous development graphics were poor quality. The graphics engine will be based on the GRRLIB 4.1.1 library. I hope that round Christmas time I can release the first beta.

21/11/2009 Version 0.10
– Started programming in C++.
– Finding free graphics for game.
– Setup basic directory structure for new project.
– Store source code in Google code SVN repository.
