Aaaah ok

It's up to you, though, anyway.

(I really need to figure out how to add new emoticons to SMF one day...)

j/k Don't worry regardless, The Game will still be awesome anyway.

Wow, those screenies look great!  I like the Balkstone moving around.   * ZTrumpet cries with DJ over the fact the there will never be any shadow.

[semi-offtopic]I was watching South Park last night, and there was a reference to alien lifeforms called Toosians.  Care to comment Hot Dog? [/semi-offtopic]

Remember, I didn't say anything about NO shadows.  I only said it's not a huge possiblity, I have to see how things go.  I really want to make the game the best it can be, but not have to worry about hangups in the game.  Who knows, it might be a lot easier than I think

About South Park...I never watch it.  The name "Tosonians" was completely thought up, and any reference was accidental.  Either that, or South Park realized that I had picked the name "Tosonians" and didn't want to copy ME

I think It kinda depends on how serious you are taking shadows. If you just add them but not really care about them it should be quite easy, just add another 8x8 sprite that is drawn on the units current position with 'and' logic. If you really care about shadwos being accurate on the terrain you will need to add heightmaps which will take up more precious space. Altough I like the idea of shadows (and I am currently tinkering about a fast asm routine to do it) I think AI, pathfinding etc should have priority.

On a side note, I can't really work on SADce atm but I am quite curious about the AI in this game (is it it being developed already?)

Shadows would be awesome, but i can see how they would be terrible draining Dont worry too much about them!  The game has enough awesome as it is ^^

EDIT: Ninja'd by 3 shadow unrelated posts, just pretend mine was up there ^

Whether you'll implent shadows or not I'd surely make them optional so they can be turned on or off.

Good idea...
