"Demo 3"

[adam_0]

Alright, the team's already dived into work on Demo 3. I just want to
define some stuff to see what we want to shoot for as far as a "Demo
3" - because we're working on everything, so I'd like to define some
goals for what we're going to make of the third demo - or do we choose
simply to go all the way with it? Here's what's going on, to present
as complete a picture as possible:

Alistair is working on AI, and it's looking really good so far. He's
also working on setting up a script that would convert all Ares XML
data to Lua tables, which is kind of a requisite to working on AI. One
other thing that Alistair will work on is implementing the final
features for the Apollo engine, like implementing mouse features and
fixing some text issues.

I am working on fixing various bugs that exist from the second demo,
as well as converting non-standardized routines to make them run in
any situation.

Andrew is continuing to work on getting Xsera's networking details
figured out.

Also, Andrew has recruited a friend of his, whom I only know as
"corhere" on IRC, to work on porting Xsera to Windows and Linux as
well.

The only thing besides this would be the script that would pull all of
this together, which I will probably be working on shortly.

I don't know if there is anything outside of what I've mentioned that
needs to be done... I know that this would be a lot of work, but
should we call this "Demo 3", or should we aim to wrap all of this
together and send Xsera straight to beta? Let me know your thoughts on
this.
