Myth Development Update { Gholsbane }
Myth II
First up, you should all grab the latest Myth II update from Project Magma. This is the final candidate for the 1.5 release and needs to be battered with tests; this may well be your last chance to voice any issues you may have with Myth II as it stands now. There should be very few bugs outstanding, but if you come across any, make sure you submit them to the bug tracker so they can be resolved once and for all.
Please note that this release is not compatible with any previous version of Myth so if you're seeing red games, make sure everyone is using the final candidate.
The final 1.5 update is expected to be released very soon after this final candidate testing period, so it would be extremely helpful if you took part now.
Myth III
Secondly, Project Magma have recently announced that they are swinging focus back to Myth III, with a brand new build that brings it up to speed with improvements to the Myth engine made during Myth II development.
So grab the update and start thinking about all the issues you have with Myth III. Be sure to log your concerns in the bug reporter or wishlist at projectmagma.net.
Ever since the game was launched, Myth III has lacked the one thing that could prolong its life: a usable map-making tool available to the whole community. For this reason, the Magma dev team will be mainly working on bringing such a tool to the masses, before moving on to focus on any outstanding issues with the game itself.
There's hope for The Wolf Age yet.
