The battle to keep the moving circle out of the AABB rages on! There have not been many solutions since the last newsletter, mostly just tests. I have come to the conclusion that I cannot fix this problem without advice from someone who has done this before. Hopefully I'll be able to mention some good news in the next newsletter!

I finished a few columns and started texturing the roof. I don't like how the roof is turning out though, so I might redo it.

Community Spotlight

This week in SAO turned out to be interesting because Parrudo and miotatsu are tied in levels, at 49! The new monster seems to be quite helpful in leveling and it has turned out to be fun. Another interesting thing to see is that, since InvisibleMan's laptop isn't working correctly, HAL has been down this week. It feels so odd not seeing the chat flow into the moderating chatroom, and It made me login to the game a few times to see what was going on. I met some new players who seem to think the community is nice for the most part, so keep up the friendliness :)

Although Loradon 3.0 hasn't gained much progress, I'm sure the hold up will be worth it as the collision detection system appears complicated. I have an idea of what the secret feature 4 is, and if I'm correct, then it means the game will be very unique and fun to play. I'm sure you can get a hint if you read the twitter updates enough.

Though 71% is prolly a bit optimistic as when youre 90% youre normally about halfway

I'm not sure if you are complementing the progress page or the artist, but thanks either way :).

Progress actually is at 71%. The progress page is time based, so it is fairly accurate unless we estimated the maximum completion time for each feature incorrectly (we usually over estimate to make sure).
