For the purposes of the thread about Gruntz Universe project, a Gruntz chat has been made on a service called Discord. Discord is in many ways similar to Skype, allowing for conversations in real time with multiple people at once, but also allowing for private conversations with individual people. It can be accessed both through your browser, and also through a dedicated program that can be installed on your computer. Discord can be found here, both the downloadable program and also the browser version: discordapp.com/To join the Gruntz chat, click this link here (provided that you made yourself an account): discordapp.com/invite/TUpMYb9 |

The status of the main post's invitation is still "active" according to Discord, but you may also try joining from a second, temporary invite link: discord.gg/SefJt3cu |

Here's a link to a couple of new tiles designed for the "High Rollerz" area: Google Drive. We also discussed the possibility of creating an EyeCandy copy of the golden plate, so that new custom patterns may be created by designers. Similar work can be done for other tilesets that have such tile features, for example the cracks in "Honey, I Shrunk The Gruntz". On the topic of the firewall program, maybe there's a way to add some kind of exception to its ruleset, so that the programs you've been using do not get blocked? |

This is something new, related to one of the recent updates to the firewall. And your link (same as what I tried on my own from Discord) still fails. Message is something like "could not connect to server". Of late, there has been no response to my queries about firewall related problems. For instance, ANY text message received in email is being 'scanned' before becoming available for me to read it! It may be but a second or two, but it is very annoying!
What I am able to read on the Discord thread is very promising. Things that I was unable to do, with the meager tools available to me (witness the grab of my GLEM page regarding tiles) seem to be easy for the author to do. Area 6 in the original game seems to have been done without regard to any of the previously designed tile sets. And Area 5's level change tiles are far less than attractive at the corners. Fixes to that, that could be fed back into the REZ file that I am able to use in the original game would be nice! I would happily re-load older maps that would now use the new tile sets to determine any (visual) problems that might appear when playing with the new REZ file. |

I went there, but was unable to actually post a general message relating to the increased cost of GoDaddy. Missing something (probably very obvious) required to post. 
I AM very interested in what I read about what is happening with graphics sets! High Rollerz is the area with (IMHO) the very worst level change tiles. Maybe someone can post here the images that have been changed in HR so I may comment?
