For those of you that are wondering about the status of "This is a Game", it's going to be a couple of months until the next release. My plans for the next release are pretty ambitious so I want to take the time that's needed to make V5.0 as awesome as it can be.

A sneak peak of what I want to do:
- Magic and magic classes
- Add Magic stat (along with strength, agility and life)
- Add Magic monsters (battle either on strength or magic)
- Make the game board 3 x 3 screens now (i.e. 9 screens of 7x7 tiles, 9 times the current size)
- 4 elemental temples each with an elemental seal needed to complete the game
- equipment stats will vary (ala Diablo)
- character status screen
   - more equipment slots to hold extra weapons and armor and items
   - equip and deequip weapons, armor and items
- character save and load
- leaderboard for character rankings and bragging rights
- midi background music
- And a whole slew of more equipment, story items, quests, events, enchantments, etc...

As you can see I have big plans for the next release and I hope to make it a jaw-dropping release, or at least as jaw-dropping as I can. I'll post updates as time goes on and maybe toss in a teaser here and there.
