Hey everyone,
The boards are quiet lately. Anybody have any neat projects underway they would like to share?

Well, since you asked :)
I am working on a prototyping tool for board game designers. It is a software program (Windows) that simplifies the task of creating boards, so you can concentrate on designing your game.
It's hardly ready for prime-time, but even so, it has a slew of neat features.
* Grids up to 30x50 (great for dungeons)
* include your own graphics
* Randomly generate boards (helps you play with balancing)
If anybody is interested in being notified when the program is ready,
visit http://www.morphodesigns.com and sign up for the free e-zine.
Please note that the site has older pics: the new version pics will be posted once I stop fiddling around with the interface! (I need a cure for perfectionism, since there is no such thing as perfect software.)
Some of the aspects of the project are in my journal.
I probably need to segment the program, get a good basic working version up on the site, then add all the "extras" as free upgrades.
Any suggestions on that are most welcome.

I plan to sell it, but the free version would be usable, too. I guess the paid version would include advanced stuff that only 20% of users would want.
If you visit my website and join the mailing list, you'll be sure to be notified when it is ready.

It's normal, the vacations are over, which mean less free time (^_^).
But that's OK for now, it takes less time to read and answer the threads.
That's wicked Mitch.
Are you going to sell it, or is it freeware? I'm suggesting Freeware because I want to use it and not have to pay for it. I'll give you a free copy of every game I design with it though.
Let us know when it is ready!
