Noticed quite a few ‘floating’ doors, that is, doors without an adjacent wall in 0.6.0-a1-2367-g4080444. Haven’t seen this before in the (non-developmental) release version.

Yay! I used your HowTo telnet instructions and they worked like a charm. My minotaur earth elementalist levels up a few times and stays alive in my first-ever online session. Thanks for the fun. :)

There’s a How-To post covering Unix and Unix-like access to CDO; I’ve been meaning to update it to include access to CAO as well, but I just haven’t had the time. It’s here.

Basically, all you need is a terminal and the ‘ssh’ program, which should be installed by default. The only other thing I can think of is that some Mac systems have issues with the black and darkgrey colours, and you may need to change these to blue or something similar (especially for out of sight areas). Hopefully, yours doesn’t!

Feel free to ask any questions here, I can ask one of our Mac-users on the team to reply. :)

I would really like to play online but unfortunately from my iMac I have just never figured out the instructions. If you all have an incredibly easy basic step-by-step I would gladly follow it.

Keep up the great work. Best game ever. –David

Hi David!

Actually, our current development is aiming towards the target of 0.6. 0.5.3 will happen if there are major bug-fixes that need to be released, but new features and major overhauls such as the ones that have been happening in recent trunk are left out of minor version bugfixes.

As regards to when: you can play 0.6 right now on CDO, or get binaries (linked above), or even build a copy of it yourself. There’s currently no release date planned, but we’re getting closer to hitting all of our targets, and then it’s just a matter of smoothing everything out and fixing all the bugs that we can find.

Thanks for the comments! It’s good to know that people are reading and enjoying. :)

I assume all these changes will be reflected in 0.5.3… is that getting near?

Thanks for the blog! It’s great to see the team communicate.
