Yep, it is still alive and kicking, and definitly not dead. Here's a picture on how far I've gone.
Well, yeah, nothing that much has been added. I still need a name for it. The game is basically a turn based strategy game with a fantasy theme. Any comments are appreciated.
A minor suggestion (feel free to ignore it!) for those separated diagonal road turfs, if you want to make them look joined: at startup you could cycle through all road turfs in the world. For each turf A, look at the turf to its upper left. If that is a road, and there is no road turf directly above turf A or directly to its left (basically you're looking at a 2x2 grid with turf A in the lower right), you can add an overlay with pixel_x and pixel_y offsets. Then do a similar check for the turf to the upper right.
