@ harlekintiger: ehm, you don't have to buy/rent servers, you can host them yourself.
If I host them myself they lag much more and there aren't online the whole time! My computer isn't made for running a game server infinitely...

nah DC will just do the same thing he did with CS2D... probably
I never liked that kind of game, therefor can you please tell me how he did it there in short words?
You could make videos about the development... I'd watch them
I just saw the landscape again and there was a question in my mind: Will terraforming be possible? Will I can just dig a hole or make a hill? Just like in "Wurm online"? That would be amazing...

Yet DC said that he will be using heightmaps in that same post.
@ pirate of island: Not sure about the characters yet.

This is theoretically possible and it's not even difficult to program that stuff. The problem is that it simply requires tons of models. Young and adult, male and female...
Well, for young and adult you could do as minecraft does, small and becomes bigger with time but, you know, stuff and things.
it's better not to have lions or sheeps or mamals like them,i mean how the hell those animals got to the small island like what we see in S2
it's more realistic to have snakes,small mamals,more insects,fishes,birds,rats,...
just imagine you are walking in the jungle and suddenly a snake appears (and you jump 1meter high )that makes the game more active...
and if u think im stupid about what i said about lions,ok use them but at least can they RUN? noone see a big cat walk just a little bit faster than you when he need u as a food
what about hidden caves with some native culture in it?some big statues,beautiful fountains,some gold coins,...
or some hidden eastereggs under the water?
and i think it's much better to have at least one friend with you in the island who was in your ship,and now stranded(some stupid friend)
what about some pirates who attack your island with their ship every 30days or so(or more random missions)?it makes the player to have a purpose and the game doesn't go boring after a while,in random island after you play a little it gets boring.
after all i really appreciate DC for this game in my dreams i always wanted to know how it really feels to be like robinson crusoe and S2 what so close to my ideal game
On Topic:
How the work is going on? well I know it's only coding and coding and coding... but can you tell us some of yours new ideas and stuff which you crated ?
