As the Holidays come and go, we keep pounding away on the keyboard!
Since the last progress post, I have focused exclusively on the various external tools for the game. I have finished the Video Settings Editor. If you're on Windows, you may have seen our command line editor, this will be replaced by the new program. This program will also be ported to Linux and OSX toward the end of v1.21.2.
The Video Settings Editor may not sound like much, but it was the perfect program to write in order to learn the QT API. Upon completion I was able to hit the ground running on the Mod Tools! As of this post, I have completed the Main Menu and the City Editor for the Mod Tools. I've also completed the UI for Map Tools and AI Editor. The later I should have code completed in the next few days. The former requires a couple of editors (such as City Editor and AI editor) to be finished first before I can implement it.
For v1.21.2 the plan is to implement the Map Tool system, all sub-tools needed to create maps for the game, a map loading system in the game, and a couple of example maps... I would say right now, we're about 20% done.
Anyhoo, lets show off some screenshots!

good human beings save the world, so that bastards like me can keep creating art, become immortal.
