Random You Tube videos Sat Jul 17 14:44:40 PDT 2010 So, one of our fans put an entire play through of Diib's Dilemma on the intertubes. Yay for them! Thought I would provide the link to all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeVKn9Y-IL8&feature=related Thanks for the shout out! ~ Random

Random More Mercs Updates Tue Jul 13 20:31:14 PDT 2010 OK. Helmets are now in the game. These are items available to all. The artwork is still in progress, so you have to deal with placeholders for now. Each zone should now be drawing correctly. Everywhere no longer looks like barant. Added several animations... most notably a water splash when you put out fire. Made the movement interface more clear by adding yellow and red squares where the terrain will effect your action options. Mercs will now gain experience for actions in combat. Fullscreen is now supported. Press F9 to toggle fullscreen support. Music coming soon.... Check it out here: ~ Random
