Any work on the site has been slow to start but after playing around with LAMP servers for the past couple months I have decided to finally get something on the way. At the moment, I'm working on rewriting the WindRunner website into a Drupal framework. The learning curve is not pretty with Drupal and I'm finding it to be a pain but there is progress. The documentation is quite thorough but it's not the best. Makes me wonder if a CMS like WordPress might've been a better alternative.
In any case, I will clean up the directories for the website and once the Drupal site is done, I'll move it over here. I decided to investigate the use of a CMS like Drupal because I thought it'd be easier to incorporate something like a gallery using their modules instead of manually doing it with a perl/php script or something similar written from the ground up.
Shouldn't be too long.. Hopefully.
I have started to work on the site by fixing pages here and there. I'm kind of using it as an excuse to study but not study. One of the courses we undertook this sem focused heavily on web development so I'm experimenting with new things while working on Perl skills needed for the final exam. Anyway might be a few weeks at least before I make another post.
Some parts of the site might change randomly but that's all part of the excitement.
Until next time!
Well, it's almost been a year since any change has been made to this site. It is argubly dead but the team has learnt a lot through work experience and time at uni.
Another year of uni is coming to a close, leaving us with a comfortable four month break. Hopefully this site can be made more complete and gain some real content.
Turns out some of the team members have been keeping their works a secret but soon I will put them up here. This will include some graphics, art, flash games, blogs among other things. P1xellat3d will most likely help as well. (He's the main reason this site exists and continues to exist.)
Hopefully see you guys soon!
Good news! We now have our own official WindRunners Minecraft server!
To connect, simply click this link.
Or if you use a custom client, paste the following link:
http://www.minecraft.net/play.jsp?server=727d64ae65d597e4aa218f0966f22a5c
We are currently recruiting moderators for our server, so contact us on IRC @ irc.ra1ndrop.net, channel #WindRunners.
The server is backed up and protected at all times, so no griefing will ever occur.
We look forward to seeing you there!
We have switched our host back to 000webhost. Heliohost was down /way/ too much, it was getting quite annoying.
Apologies for any inconvenience, but the site will now be up 24/7!
Recently, me and dr4g0nus have been working on a new project, namely Wind Challengers: Episode 1.
We will work on this game from now to possibly the end of this semester break. The game will loosely be a 2D platform game, however we cannot release anything until we have surpassed the alpha stage of the production.
Stay tuned, we'll keep you posted about it!
