The editing interface is coming into shape. There are gaps, and I need to go over the scripting implementation one more time to make it slightly less stupid, but I'm hoping I can start opening this up to building next week.

Wow.

Shorah Belford!

I absolutely adore your Seltani project, the amount of hard work you've put into making something so simple yet so brilliant. I cannot wait for when we get to create our own Ages in-game!

By the way, Leafspin was very cleverly done. Took me a while to firgure out.

Heh. I was just talking to someone who's done real-life hang-gliding, who said I didn't get the cliff air-currents entirely wrong. :) Which is good.

She said I should put in a bird, also sailing along the cliff edge. I will, but I have to finish the editor first.

This probably sounds silly, but I just cannot get over how classy the typeface is.
Have Ages, and link to them without bindings. [Words 1:13]

Sorts Mill Goudy! It's open-source. http://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/sorts-mill-goudy

Only flaw is that it doesn't have a boldface. The browser fakes one up but it's not hand-crafted boldface.

Could we have the option to change the font to something else, if we so choose? Some fonts are easier for some people to read than other fonts.

Yes, that should be possible. Hm. Not quite as easy as changing the font size.

I'll add it to the list.

The world-builder font, in case you're curious, is Google's "Source Sans Pro". http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Source+Sans+Pro

(I tried the fixed-width sibling font "Source Code Pro", but it took up too much space.)

Fortunately that's something most browsers let the user override, for precisely this reason. At least for now...
