Also we have added a new item to the game, the (Ring of Freezing). When used, monsters around the player will freeze for a short period of time. It will be useful when you are surrounded with monsters. I have added a rendering effect on top of the default model rendering to achieve the (frozen) effect. This was an easy task, because new rendering techniques can be easily added to the shader. Coding the AI for this was not difficult too. This is a good example that adding new stuff to the game isn't hard. The good news is that the full source code for the AI and game logic will ship with the game, so people who want to add new items, monsters etc. or to modify existing code will be able to do it. I will encourage everyone who have ideas for add-ons to freely do it. Of course about 100.000 lines of AI code will wait for the mod makers.
