Update 1.1 has been rolled up and everything on the servers is going to be it for this update. A few features didn't make it because they weren't needed quite yet and the implementation of them is going to be different than originally planned. So for the 1.1 update the following features were added:

• Blog Comments with various permissions
• Registration System
• Blog improvements and simplification
• Account and Registration Success placeholder pages
• User, Tester, and more roles added

So that's just a general overview of the stuff added during the 1.1 updates, planning and coding for update 1.2 has now been started. The goal is to have the following things complete for update 1.2:

• Template redesign moving the Ubar to the top and the menu to the bottom.
• Improving the ubar and menu bar with more features
• myAccount, myProfile, myGames/Services, myFriends, and myEnemies pages
• Simple battle simulator in place

So there you have it, fewls. Update 1.2 is going to be pretty big if we get all that stuff done so it may take awhile, however early parts of it could be uploaded over time. The template redesign will be the first thing worked on and it might be pushed pretty soon. Stay tuned for updates.

Well I thought I was feeling lazy but then I got bored with games and decided to do some more of the work on 1.1 and to my surprise cranking out the Registration System code was a lot easier than I thought. Since I just reused a bunch of old code I had and changed a few names and fields. So the registration is fully functional right now and ready for testing. The success page is only a placeholder right now though and will be redone later.

After you register and log in you will be in the User role and will be allowed comment_create permissions, I know I said only testers would be allowed those permissions however I feel confident in my comment system. The serials will be given out for 1.2 to allow my testers to receive special permissions to some of the features planned for that release.

A small portion of the next website update has been pushed to the servers. You can see a preview of some of the things in the update as well as utilize some of the new features already. One of the complete new features in this push is the tag cloud links and filter. If you click on one of the items in the tag cloud list it will bring you to a new page that filters only blog posts with that tag. The rest of the features of 1.1 are either previews only or not present in this push and those include:

• Registration System - Preview page only, the form is not operational
• My Account Page - Not present.
• Add Game / Service - Not present, will allow the adding of game or service serials to upgrade account features.
• User and Test Roles - Not present, tester roles will be given privilages to test features user roles will have no privilages yet.

Those are the current planned features to be fully functional in the final release of the 1.1 update. The planned release for this update is by the end of this week and 1.2 will begin during the weekend, however 1.1 could be pushed as early as later tonight, 11-26-2009, no promises though.

Stay tuned for more info.
