Been busy.

I personally have been working hard on some player skins, I plan to release these all at once (as well as some from previous posts) in one big happy skin-fest! so keep your eyes peeled for that,

In other news, my contest to try to find a new default texture pack has completed entry stage now, and the entries can all be seen HERE.

Thanks to the people that entered I wish you all the best of luck! and I hope we the player community can come together to decide on which if any should be used in future releases of the game.

Let's hope that with new textures we can see a new dawn on the progress of Manic Digger

Hello, Hallo, Zdravei, Hola, Saluton, Salut and Privet! to all.

In no so many words I'd like togive a special hello to all those that read this, I've been doing some poking around on my stats and info, It would seem that a LOT of Germans are visiting!!

A special Screenshot for you folk over the way..

I'm really happy that you spend the time and effort to come and read my English language blog! If anyone has any links to a German blog about manic digger, I'd be happy to link to it, just send a message to Maniacal.Digerer via the forums (or just post it for me to see)

To all the other international readers, Hello to you all! I dont have flags for everyone, but here's another that I'd seen on exe creative 5... 'hallo' to any Dutch players.

On a side note, my antipodean counterpart; Tacobuilder help me link up the 'statue of liberty' with a rail-line... for which he built a rather excelent bridge!

The other thing which I couldnt help but notice was a HUGE tree complete with hollow top with a room in! oh and the 'green' cubey thing next to it.. a bouncy castle!! (which I confess to having had a go in)

News time!

Hi to anyone silly enough to read this, here's some headlines...

• My 'new default texture' contest has been extended until the weekend (sat 26th final date for entry)
• I've come across some interesting finds

• A game called 'blokked' which apparently used the manic digger engine, I'm yet to see this game, or actually find information about it, all I have to go on so far is an 'offline' live stream which was supposedly showing 'blokked'
• On Sourceforge I found 'Manicdigger2' and am going to have a nose and see what it is...

Other than that, hello to everyone that was playing on exe creative a few nights ago, had a great time finishing off the statue of liberty which is now open for visitors!! there is a rail link that leads directly to it... I'll have to create some kind of signposting for people...

here's a rather so-so skin I've done for Dr House.. its not the best, but it's passable [to save it, click it to link to the proper picture of it... then right click that picture and choose save as]
