    I've put up the new development blog, which will chronicle the process of creating GSW. I will try to post updates daily, except for the weekend when I am away and don't have access to a computer. You'll have to register a separate account there to post comments, I didn't want to bother integrating it into the forums.

    Check it out at: http://gsw.goldensun...ate.net/devblog

      It's a good idea. I'll be glad to see how GSW is shaping up, especially since I hadn't joined when it was last available.

        Nice to see we'll be getting more updates. And a closer look that we didn't have before. Nice work, Max.

          I can't register. I click on 'No Comments' and when it says 'You must be logged in to post a comment', I click on 'Logged In' and get a 406 error. It says that the resource cannot be opened by my browser. Is this your fault or mine? D:

            Split, I'm not getting that error on my end, I'm not sure what you are doing wrong. I would recommend trying another browser to see if it is still the site or just your browser settings/cookies.

                  It's a redirection fault that lies in Firefox, I believe. Just delete the redirection, aka, use THIS link.

                  EDIT: But it won't do you any good. I can't seem to post comments in Firefox either.

                    I'm using IE, so I guess it's a universal error. But thanks for the link, Blink. :)

                    [EDIT] Okay, this is wierd. I signed up for the service, got the password from my Inbox and logged in for the first time. And now it's taken me to what appears to be an admin control panel. When I try clicking the links, it tells me I do not have sufficient permission. So I went directly to the Blog, which acknoledged that I was logged in. And now when I try to post, the post doesn't appear. This doesn't look good.

                      Sorry guys, I had an option misconfigured in the control panel. Your comments are now visible (I deleted the test ones) and anyone who registers can post a comment right away. Sorry for the inconvienance.

                          Ah, I found the problem. At least, on my end. The old URL is...

                          http://gsw.goldensun-syndicate.net/devblog...et/devblog/?p=6

                          But most of the links on that page use the # sign, so I threw that in, and now it works.

                          http://gsw.goldensun-syndicate.net/devblog...et/devblog/?p=6

                          Odd? Yes, but that's because I don't understand the programming. Is that something you can fix on your end Max, or is it WordPress's error?

                              Yes, there are a couple errors (a couple template errors and the login link error).

                              Good work, Max. I look forward to reading it.

                                  Well that hard drive failure certainly killed the blog. xD

                                  Hope that everything turns out okay for you Max, but at the least, you've inspired me to keep my own kind of mini blog about the progress on my own project, which in turn is helping me keep track of everything. :P

                                    Yes, Blink, the hard drive failure kind of killed alot of the momentum. But late next week things will pick up again, so keep an eye out for more.

                                      The blog is great, excellent idea. You should have handled the GSW site like this from the start.

                                        Not necessarily. Starting it over the summer is a perfect idea, but from the start? I'd say no, otherwise it would depress people to see such long periods of time without any progress.

                                        ...then again, this looks like it's going to go through the school year, according to "Roadmap".

                                          Max, why haven't you fixed the log-in bug? I'm being forced to use Blink's link to post messages.

                                            Sorry, I didn't think the issue was still there, as I'm not having any issues logging in. I will attempt to fix this when I get home from work today.

Discovery]<br /><br />'...Behind my beloved waterfall, in the little room that was hidden beneath the cave, I <br />found it.

I had no idea what it might be, but it was beautiful...'<br /><br />'...I learned to lay my fingers across the wires, and to turn the keys to make them sound <br />differently. As I struck the wires with my other hand, I produced my first harmonious sounds <br />and soon my own music! How different it could be from the music of the Temples! I can't wait <br />to tell the priests about it!...'<br /><br />What can this strange device be?<br />When I touch it, it gives forth a sound<br />It's got wires that vibrate and give music<br />What can this thing be that I found?<br /><br />See how it sings like a sad heart<br />And joyously screams out its pain<br />Sounds that build high like a mountain<br />Or notes that fall gently like rain<br /><br />I can't wait to share this new wonder<br />The people will all see its light<br />Let them all make their own music<br />The Priests praise my name on this night<br /><br />[IV. Presentation]<br /><br />'...In the sudden silence as I finished playing, I looked up to a circle of grim, <br />expressionless faces. Father Brown rose to his feet, and his somnolent voice echoed <br />throughout the silent Temple Hall...'<br /><br />'...Instead of the grateful joy that I expected, they were words of quiet rejection! <br />Instead of praise, sullen dismissal.
