10-5-10? sounds special.

Anyway, I made 'breath'.
You can die now if you are too long underwater in Dirkels.
Very cool =D

14:40
Fixed another bug of the guards, who stick to the ground sometimes.
Its solved now.
Next to that, I've put more decoration in Grasslands 5, and fixed some things in the swamp 3.
The swimming engine ain't perfect yet, I am gonna fix it all now.

14:47
The swimming is AWESOME now.
You can only 'swim' when you are deeper then 32 pixels in the water.
So, I can also make 'low' water, wich you can just walk on.
Everything looks way realistic now,
like, your breath only goes less if you are actually with your mouth in the water.

14:50
When a guard dies or gets destroyed, his shield and weapon will also be destroyed. (this was a small bug)

21:08
Hehe, I've made more map in the Swamp 3.
the Swamp 3 will have alot of water.
It is almost a underwater level.
I am now, making places is the water, where you can get at, but is very hard to reach.
So you breath is almost down, and then at the final momet you reach the end =d
Gonna make an achievement there.

21:54
Tested the swimming a few times.
it is possible to get to the end I got now at the moment.
There are 2 stops to get breath now.
Here, watch this screen:


22:53
I done alot!
Finished the whole Swamp with tiles + solid objects.
Now I will add some decoration (nature).

Next to that, there is a new achievement now.
Very cool! "Find the Mona Lisa"
Aaand, for the underwater thingy, I still got this room, empty.
What should I put in it? I guess a note and a chest with moneh!

NEW AREA COMING UP!
The Forgotte Sea, a part of the Swamp, fully underwater gameplay.
It ain't big, but its a nice 'new' unique area for Dirkels.
Screens and more info coming soon.
Today I made a big part of this area.

17:11
I made a cool storyline for this area.
The people who live here, were once Swamp Monsters...
I am making quests now.
There won't be much quests.
Though, I need help with some quests...

18:22
Storyline is quite easy.
And it doesn't take long at all.
It only has one quest.
Lol.
I may make more quests, but there ain't much to do.
Anyway, I will make a shop, and this shop will sell 'fish heads'.
If anyone could design some fish heads, that would be appreciated.

Ok, I won't do the release today.
It ain't finished.
I also don't think I can work on Dirkels today.

I have to make time, because I got to test Dirkels.
And write all the bugs.
This takes atleast 2 hours each test.
