Status update...

Built a new PC, my old one was too unreliable (Reboots every few hours). I'm in the middle of transferring my data from the old PC.
Copy/paste for specs...AMD Sempron 3500+, 2GB DDR2 ram, 128mb geforceFX5200, 250gb hdd, lightscribe dvd-rw, windows xp

I got my FPGA proto board. It's going to be a heck of a challenge, but the result will pay off (N64 dev cart).

Still working on the N64 modplayer. I can now playback a 8-bit 22050hz sample at 44100hz, 16-bit, using linear interpolation. Adjustable volume and frequency. Next is to write a mixer and pattern playback code.
It's kind of cool working with raw sound data, you can do a lot more than you could otherwise..

Oh, and I've been playing Half-Life 2 finally, after all these years. Still an amazing game.

well we can only hope this isn't killing oyu, what has been done is quite good, hope it is making enough progress to be considered so

Nice PC, a bit like the one i'm using now (yours is a bit better), can't wait to see more progress to the game!

Ok folks, we still need to consider what will happen with the game next.

Since no one is either able or willing to come up with a city design or plan, the game will be solely minigames. No changing that.

1. Should the name be changed? Any ideas on that?
2. Maybe a completely different kind of game (like a space shooter) for the N64 would be more interesting than GTP?

Feedback, peoples!
