Developing Update 6.10.2006

Hi guys,

the *DBL 2.0 development is going on, but slowly. Database design is finally done. Some features and private troubles caused a heavy delay. However I have solved them now and the next steps should be easier ones.

The bad news is that I probably can't hold my personal release date of mid october. Right now I only can promise a 2006 release. There are still some difficult challenges how to add/realise/integrate certain features.

The good news: the features will be awesome.

A short overview of new features:

- Own clan website for every signed up clan
+ private clan forum and clan history(when did your members join/leave, past successes,...)
- Clans and players can look for new players and clans on an application board. You can also add requirements like how many cbs should a player have played before he sends an application.
- Players also have an extendend profile page with all won awards, blog entries, player history(joined clans, done interviews...)
- full automated challenge forms
- see all your upcoming challenges and new challenges at once
- buddy list
- clanbattle stats may also feature uptodate player stats(depends on the game)

Beside all the other features I have mentioned on this board.

If you have questions let me know.

Right now I'm working on the design, some smaller modules and create the database in MySQL. This shouldn't take too long. Once done I gonna form the long announced admin groups that gonna take care about upcoming changes and new games.

Stay tuned, the long wait will be worth it.
