I made a post and it accidentally caught fire.
February 28th - via: kickstarter.com
Oh my good gracious. I made a post last night on Imgur before going to bed, and lo this morning I'm on the front page? Wowsers. Hello to all the new backers! Fun fact: I made the post because I needed the gif for the Kickstarter. I made this post... (Read More)
So when I restart this tomorrow..
February 28th - via: kickstarter.com
There will still be a $20 License for Life, limited to 30 to account for all current backers and a few extras. The new video is nearly done; I've spent about an hour adjusting texture UV's on a couch. I had hoped to have photos of the new physical... (Read More)
Working on a feature list.
February 26th - via: kickstarter.com
I'll be sending out a feature list shortly. I'm asking everyone who has backed the project to think about what's important to them in a tool like this. Examples could be, the grid, a better fog of war brush, being able to save the fog of war, or... (Read More)
Fixed firefox menu clickability
February 25th - via: kickstarter.com
Hmm, Firefox users weren't able to open the menu by clicking it. Found that out yesterday. Fixed. Once again, thank you to everyone who has backed this Kickstarter. It's raised just over 1k in 2 weeks, I'd call that a major win. I'm glad it's... (Read More)

February 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
Heads up, a new update was rolled out. The sidebar, is now toggle-able using the escape key (open and close it using the escape key). I tried to get the grid to respond to mouse events but it was taking too much time messing about with a few caveats,... (Read More)
Planned improvements based on personal use
February 22nd - via: kickstarter.com
Eating your own dog food is a saying in most any industry that says, use your product to know your product. In this case, my 'product' is the DMGE. With 6 days to go, I've got a slew of things to improve and ideas to implement, but time is money... (Read More)
Fixed the grid size.
February 22nd - via: kickstarter.com

Just a last minute proof of concept before I go to bed.

Now open pdf files
February 20th - via: kickstarter.com
The system now opens PDF files. This is a clunky implementation similar to the YouTube embed. In a complete tool, we would use pdf.js to directly embed the elements upon the page as canvas (native element that does amazing things, like the fog of war... (Read More)
A day of 'marketing'
February 19th - via: kickstarter.com
There have been some updates to the interface, sidebar information, and I've 'unmuted' the videos in the video tags. I will be putting a mute button in the sidebar, or maybe some custom controls. However most of my efforts are being spent busily... (Read More)
YouTube update is online along with some other tweaks
February 18th - via: kickstarter.com

Update inbound
February 17th - via: kickstarter.com

Kickstarter is live and project is a-go
February 14th - via: kickstarter.com
I've spent today trying to make a 'compelling video' but that didn't pan and I ended up spending more time trying to make the video then I did anything else today. The important thing in my mind is showing progress on the project and so that's what... (Read More)
