WBus v0.1 released

WBus stands for Web Bus and it is a simple all purpose method to get two or more clients (browsers) communicating using a web page as the communication channel.

Evolving WarWide look and usability

Probably WarWide is one of that (web) applications that will never leave the beta release status.

Every month, we apply new changes, improvement, fixes and creates features to keep users playing and giving huge longevity to the game. These two weeks we have decided to focus our efforts on ( other than, as always, on bug fixes ;) ) strategic panel’s usability and on a new set of icons.

WarWide italian community clamoured along for a more friendly and simple interface for army creation/unification and resources management… we answered with an improved (and more intuitive) panel for these tasks.

Then, two friends of mine, offered their creativity to design a new set of icons for military units, buildings and technologies … the result has been very impressive!
Thanks to Simone Poggi (aka motocarota ) and to FolkwineDelMark ( a WarWide player ).
