Mashime - Update #3

Hello there!

First of all, I want to apologise for not posting updates since New Years, Yes.. A long time ago.

Okay, this update it going to be about some special features on Mashime.

1. Creating and Visiting events/rooms.
I have talked about this on Update #2 but I want to update you on the changes we have made.
- You can create one event at a time.
- You can cancel your event and create another.
- When creating an event you can lock your event with a password [Password Locked].
- You can give your event a name, password and description about the event you're creating.
- Users including you can vote for eachothers events with [+] or [-].
This will make a vote on that event and the event with most votes will stay on top of the Event List. [Update #2]
- Your event will automatically delete after two hours unless you have over 10 votes a day [+].
[You can keep an event open longer with coins].
- You will see further updates on this when playing..

2. Walking and talking.
- Walking on Mashime is a big part of the 'virtual world' creation.
You'll be able to choose one of the 169 tiles in a room to walk on.. [Update #2].
- Here on Mashime we have an isometric pathfinding system that will find the shortest way of getting to your chosen tile, awesome right?
You may have seen or played another game with pathfinding.
- We have made several plans on the way users communicate on Mashime, floating bubbles, text above avatar and much more. I have picked a
more simple way of chatting/talking and a way you can still see everything going on in the game, we finally designed and programmed a
chatLog system that is dragable from the top of the screen. When ever someone chats in the current room, the dragBar will flash a green.
On Quackbay we realized that people were spamming our auto chatLog system, we are still using a auto spamming detecting system, but we
are also using a countdown from everytime someone chats, the chatbar will disable and countdown from three, two, one and then enables
the chatbar again.
- We may disable the countdown on some peoples accounts once we have checked their logs.




I'll be updating this blog more often.
