ADRIFT Forum

Thanks for the answers folks. I tried 4.0 and liked it but held off on purchasing until 5.0 came out. I have been waiting for 5.0 for over a year now. I didn't know there was an official site. I am learning .NET through Visual Studio and am now more interested in the project because of that. I am a...

Two things... Firstly, I have decided to change my nick. this means that Cowboy will not be in use from March 1st (sorry about it folks) New nick will be Po.

I used to be a paper / pencil guy but I have found this little gadget which is well worth the money: http://www.cjmweb.net/GUEmap/ A few things I’m not crazy about or maybe it’s just me, but all in all it’s a great tool for ...

Update Feb 07 – 2010 28 wip’s so far, the latest being Kronos’ ”The Merlin Bird of Prey” I think it’s quite an impressive show of interest, but we’ve yet to see how many game will actually make it. ;) I have pushed the release date on D-Day a bit forward hoping to enter the Official Spring Thing 20...
