Create a custom theme
This week our focus has been on the development of the skill system. Unlike most games the server owners will have near full control to make their own abilities. To do this we must define a very robust system with very basic rules that will govern all other aspects. The idea is to provide them with spell/skill types and let them mix and match as they choose or use the basic ones we will add throughout the development process.
Our biggest hurdle is to come up with the foundation that will define all of this. Our first task was to sit down and define categories of spells so that they can be classified into groups. Once the basic classification type was set we could define the spell further by talking about how it might react. To do that we needed to define types of skill/spells. Here is what we came up with:
In other news we have added our project onto IndieDB and some other sites to gain some more exposure. Pass us around if you like our project!

Can't wait for more 
The end user will not really see any of this system other than ( spell a does this and spell b does this ) and that will be a simple as clicking 1 - 5. This is more or less a powerful system for server owners to create their own spell/skills for use within their own servers.
What are the links to 'and some other sites'
That's very interested I haven't heard of a game that allows custom spells like that to be made. Interested to hear more about this!
