Dinowaurs-wise we’ve been furiously working on performance to make a much larger private beta more realistic. We’ve done that. No word on when the beta will open up to the proportions it deserves, but it will likely be relatively soon. If you had problems running the game previously, definitely give it another shot. I can run it competitively on my P.O.S. PowerBook G4 1.67 ghz 1GB of RAM. Before these performance optimizations, I wrote off ever being able to even load the game up on my Mac, as I have plenty of trouble even doing that with the majority of Flash games. Someday we will find a pot of gold somewhere and I will be awarded an intel-based Mac that can play any indie game, ever. But until then, let us all congratulate Mike with a warm “hoooooray” [ala Pink Floyd] for kicking some ass on this one. It was painful, but that’s the name of the game. Perhaps he’ll go into some detail as to what was techincally going on, but for now, we just wanted to post this sigh of relief.

July 18th, 2008 at 9:29 PMMike, you really did do an awesome job. I’m sure it was very hard to keep working on that stuff while we were moving on to other things. Way to stick to it and come out on top! You da man. B-)

Great job Mike! I am really interested to find out the technical side of this… that is, if you’re willing to do a little bit more work!
Looking forward to killing you all soon!

July 19th, 2008 at 10:27 AMI want to tell you a story
About a little man
If I can.
A gnome named Grimble Grumble.
And little gnomes stay in their homes.
Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine.
He wore a scarlet tunic,
A blue green hood,
It looked quite good.
He had a big adventure
Amidst the grass
Fresh air at last.
Wining, dining, biding his time.
And then one day - hooray!
Another way for gnomes to say
Hoooooooooray.
Look at the sky, look at the river
Isn’t it good?
Look at the sky, look at the river
Isn’t it good?
Winding, finding places to go.
And then one day - hooray!
Another way for gnomes to say
Hoooooooooray.
Hooooooooooooooray.
