    The demo to my class was well received today.

    A couple students noted (this happens every time I do a class like this) that they can't just *play* games any more; once they start knowing all the "tricks," they can't help but see them.

    Two things:

    1) The students thought the water looked too thick, slick, and oily.

    2) The "corpse explosion" spell was a massive hit! Not sure what that says about my students... ;)

    Did you ask them about Lord British's idea about adding Cannibalism?

    I agree with the water sentiments.. Chris needs to keep playing with it some more until he gets a better result.

    We will be eventually making improvements to the water shaders & splash particles, have no fear!
    The corpse explosion spell is one of my favorites, as well:)

    Yah... I figured the current water was a placeholder.

    On an educational note, we found an interesting spot of pure white where we could see under the water and see the texture below it! It was an illustrative bug. (Will file it as a bug report in the usual spot when I get around to it).

    I'm interested in where you saw that. Any screenshot would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for the great QA!

    My directions are awful, but in Kingsport if you come in the entrance, walk along the coast and out past the guard tower and other side of town you can keep on walking past the borders of the map. There was a white spot there I recall eventually as you swim you reach land again but you swim right through and under the land. I eventually found a spot where I fell off the map and reaappeared at the entrance to Kingsport.
