Wind and Water: Mouse support release and Custom Avatar Demo

Saturday, February 12th, 2011

Hi guys and gals,

Just wanted to tell you that Wind and Water now has in-game Mouse Support as of version 1.05, download from our main website!

The video also shows how Full Set Avatars work (in case you don’t know, for $10 or $15 you can be a part of our game and play with your own W&W-styled avatar based on yourself!)

Here’s the video:

If you want to appear on the game, for a limited time you can grab your own avatar and support us! We’re also raffling 5 Custom Avatars at our Forums, participating is easy but you have little time left!

We’re also working on a Linux version which is available for beta test on the forums (the game works 100%) will soon be released.

Wind and Water has been reviewed at TIG Source and was tagged by indie developer Derek Yu as “Highly Recommended”! (Thanks Derek!) This means more players will be able to enjoy W&W, which is now free, and hopefully we’ll have the new online scoreboards and online beta testing running soon!

What do you think about mouse support?

Welcome to the Yuan Works Development blog! We’ll be blogging about anything related to video games, including development, our own projects, programming and art tutorials, and more.

Since we’re going to San Francisco in less than 8 hours we’re a little bit in a hurry. I promise to do a pretty layout for this blog too as soon as I can :)

Also, don’t forget to subscribe to our RSS feed to have the latest information about our participation on the IGF, as well as all the content this blog will feature!

NOTE: Clicking on some permalinks (for example trying to add a comment), the RSS Feed, or clicking on a particular post will not work for a little while since the permalinks need to be updated in our server. Please be patient and come back later It’s working now! :)
