Sky client
Thanks to the work of quite a few people, especially Emajekral and Schmurk, now we have a sky dome, and a much larger viewing distances and viewing angle.
Everyone is very happy with it, and we hope to make it the next official client. There are some more tests to be done, but things are coming up nicely.
People with slower machines might have to use the 'standard' mode, where the camera angle is limited, but they will still benefit from the new light colors, which are much better than what we used so far. For example, the light color changes at dusk and dawn.
It is really amazing to see how much our little game evolved. Here are two screenshots, the first being about 5 years old, and the second is with the new client (pre release).

The new screenshot is really nice.
Congratulations to the team!
It has evolved greatly Radu! Seeing it grow has been an awesome thing to watch and be apart of.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks, I am as amazed of the growth as you are. It's always good to look back and see how much has changed!
Wow, it's changed alot :) :O
btw nice inv :p
Excellent! I think I would love this new client.
So you can now see a lot further which from the screenshot looks great. Although if other players and creatures can only be seen from 12 squares away its going to look really odd having a detailed - but seemingly unpopulated world visible. Do you have any intention of increasing this distance with the new client?
I am impressed with that screenshot & now it is worth upgrading my computer as alas this one would die with those graphics lol

Keep up the great work
I started playing this year only. I wish i started earlier. I've been using Linux only for so many year now and it is really hard to find good quality games that run on Linux. EL was the first online game I try and I'm really amazed by the size of the community.
Maybe you guys should discover a Continent 3. ;)
Thanks Radu,
Best Regards,
Hussam.
radu uses gc!!!!!
