I'm a computer scientist who discovered The Mana World in early December 2004. Recognizing in The Mana World the project I had been wanting to work on for about 2 years already, I immediately got into contact with the developers and joined the team as a programmer.

On the 4th of July 2007 I finally finished my master thesis, which took me over a year to finish while I was working part time at Fraunhofer IPSI and IGD. From September 2007 I have started working full time at Trolltech in Berlin. Unfortunately this means I don't have much time for The Mana World anymore, but I keep up with development as much as I can.

  • 2007-07-07: Ported to Guichan 0.7.0.
  • 2007-07-11: Fixed resizing windows by their resize grip.

Planned activity (whenever I get around to it)

  • Release Tiled 0.7.0, with embedded tile palette, enhanced stamp brush functionality, tile instance properties and import/export of configuration.
  • Add support for an arbitrary amount of map layers to TMW.
  • Keep the trunk up to date with changes to the 0.0 branch until it is discontinued.
  • Implement a more flexible listbox to be used in the buy and sell dialogs for showing item icons and aligning price better. Should at the same time be able to function as the base of a reimplemented ItemContainer.
  • Help implementing several subsystems in our own server.
  • Develop a small tool for building content updates based on Subversion revisions (will probably require Subversion >= 1.4).
  • When feasible, write a browser interface that can dynamically create animated GIFs from player base and chosen equipment sprites. Would be neat to also be able to download a layered XCF file to work on it with GIMP.
