All the farming tools now work.
As you can see, I cut down all the grass with the scythe, chopped all the wood with an axe and hammered all the rocks with a.. hammer. Also hoed that ground up a bit ;D
John's joined on as a secondary programmer and he's upgrading it to Dx8 (Because I hate converting to Dx8 xD) After I get it back I'll start work on the watering & seed planting.
Also had a change of plans. Farms will still be instanced, but the time/season will not. What this means? I'll have to code some 'helper elves' to do the work for you when you're offline. For a price of course. This means the more time you spend on the game, the more profit you'll get from your crops. It'll also encourage people to share farms and work together ;D
With Dx8 of course, I can add a much nicer day/night fading, rather than just changing to a darker pre-rendered tileset. It also means we can use John's amazingly sexy particle effect weather systems. Oh, and it'll have dynamic sized maps, like Essence, so it'll be a much more aesthetically pleasing area tbh.

Why aren't maps and shit loaded up in a dynamic array?
