I added lots of options to the game. Each window can be set to its own level of transparency. I am almost done coding tradeskills and only have crafting(which requires a GUI) left to do. I figured I would share this image for the control freaks out there. I wanted to make sure that I gave players plenty of options so they can fully immerse into the game.

I am making great progress on tradeskills and I wanted to share a teaser. The game development is much smoother now that I have a fairly solid code base to utilize. I have to say the worst part of game development is still writing the GUI code. It just never looks right or behaves quite the way I want. Below you can get a view of what the ‘foraging’ tradeskill will look like.
