0.1.0 Released
2008, April 28th 10:36 AMQuickly on the heels of that alpha test is 0.1.0 official release. Grab it (nowhere, sorry, removed!).
What's different? Not a lot. There's an installer, and that's it. I haven't gotten any bug reports, so I'm calling this a release.
But there's a new site feature – I've added a site forum for discussions. Take a look, start a thread, talk about D-Net. It's still under very heavy construction, so beware that the layout and look might change drastically as you browse. But it's officially open. As always, I'd love to hear any commentary you have about D-Net or the site, and if you can't find an appropriate thread to post it in, head for the forum.
This is probably not the most exciting post you've ever read, but there'll be more coming. Not to worry.

I got a friend over and we had a lot of fun playing the two player.
I don't know if it was intentional, but the first player controls don't work on the side numerical section, only on the top bar. Or at least, we couldn't get 'em to work on the side.
It made play a little awkward, but other than that it was quite fun!

I am smrt.
Note made, thanks for letting me know :)

Would be nice if there is a "You are here!" thing. Or maybe make the white more different than the other slightly darker gray. It was confusing for me at first, but that's probably nitpicking! =)

I should make it do that automatically when there's only one human player though.
