So, last night was filled with alot of additions to existing maps, to make them more interesting, and more 'filled out'.
Right now i am trying to think of all the different 'Magic Runes' that we should have for the game, here is what I have so far.

![Experience,Enemies and AI, Oh my!](http://www.edigames.com/enemymap.png)
So, last night I implemented the new experience milestones generator, and it seems to work good. I tried to break the system by adding crazy amounts of experience gains, but it held it's ground and gave me the proper amount of points and wouldnt let me 'over-level' past 100.

I was having a thought for a while,

More Help
So last night I had a talk with, Tarviathun, he's a new member of the isometric forum (though apparently he has been lurking for a while), he seemed very interested with the work my team and I are doing on Morning's Wrath and decided that he would like to get involved if he could.

So last night I took the stats that I computed and moved them into thier respective .sprite XML files.
I was pleased with the results, it provided a good spread of easy characters, mediums and hard ones.

So for my next trick (alakazam and all that ;-D),
I will be doing a revamp of the lost region gravestones,
I am open to some design sugestions *nothing involving crosses though, since it would conflict with the game's religion* so if you've got some pictures to post *before 7pm tonight, I'll take a l…

So, it was decided a while ago, that us with full time jobs and/or college should take things somewhat easy on the week days, so that we are nice and ready for the weekends.
So i tend to do graphics durring the week, since they are fairly low impact, and I spend all day at work programing.

Long time since I've made a journal entry (busy, not lazy ;-D),

The meeting last night went fairly well,
There were unfortunetly three people MIA,
one genuinely (i knew he wasnt going to be able to make it),
and later i found out one was having internet problems, and the other simply forgot i guess (grits teeth).

So today,
with the large weight of change on my back, I set forth to update our todo-list, until this point the todo list has really only applied to me and my tasks, but I think now (with the very low output) I should broaden the list and make it availible online, I think doing so, and making sure e…

So, I guess I will start things off the right way and give a little rundown about our project.
