I thought I would whet your appetites with a little preview of a new feature I am working on. Locations will have a new tab, showing any objects or characters that have been defined in the room:

You can also drag objects and characters onto the list to add them automatically to the location.

Very nice :D
Thats going to make it a lot easier to keep track of everything in a room.
We can see at a glance if we forgot to add a static object for anything mentioned in the room's description.

Do you realize the danger of showing things like that before actually releasing them? :shock:

A really useful new feature, Campbell!

I assume there will be a check (Are you sure?) for the "REMOVE ITEM" button?

I wasn't going to actually, as it just removes the item(s) from the location, not from the game. But I can do if you think it would be better?

Yes please, just in case the user (i.e. ME) clicks the wrong button....as I frequently do! Thanks.

Hmmm, that is such a tempting feature. I just might have to find something else to tilt my monitor and pull out the 'ol game book and see where I left off.

Nice to see you KF! Miss you!

No, it's literally holding my monitor at a tilted angle so I can sit back in my big comfy chair and play pc games, with my headphones and super-awesome gaming keyboard.
