Generally, when I release a new major version, there are two possibilities. The first one, the one I experience the most, is that I receive many e-mails about bugs in the latest version. The second one is the one that happened this time : I just receive a couple of e-mails, with the same contents (bug report and "oh that's a great new version nevertheless !"). I have a preference for the second possibility because it gives me less work to do...

So it seems like my online gaming mode is not as buggy as I feared, finally !

I'm already working on the next version... I'm making a lot of tests on my code to see if I can convert the layout editor to the 3D mode... Well that would be something good ! Unfortunately it doesn't work perfectly for now... I have a lot of trouble getting the correct tile coordinates. But it works better than yesterday anyway. I'm still working on finding the cause of these small problems though. I hope I won't have to drop the idea of a 3D layout editor... Hmm, nothing to add. If you're currently having fun playing Kyodai online (either on a LAN or on the Internet), please drop me an e-mail and tell me your thoughts ! Thanks !
