Site upgrade, OpenID and spam-fighting

Posted on 3 January 2012 by Kai SD
The site software was updated to the latest version.
In addition, we’re returning the OpenID login and closing the site registration.
While the registration was open, the site was inhabited with several hundreds of spambots.
We have deleted a lot of these accounts, but unfortunately, some good accounts may have been deleted as well.
We’re very sorry for that.

OGS Mahjong 0.9 delay

Posted on 1 October 2011 by Kai SD
For the past few months we’ve been working to improve the interface of our game. These are tough tasks that require investigation. Sometimes we have to create another task to fulfill the previous one. We were planning to release OGS Mahjong 0.9 at October 10, but, however, we have to postpone it till the end of November. We need this time to complete planned tasks, fix the bugs and test the whole game.

New background work in progress

Posted on 22 September 2011 by Kai SD
We are glad to announce that Anton “Kif” Chernov has created a brand new background model for OGS Mahjong. It will replace the awful litany skybox, which accompanied us almost from the beginning of the project. You can see the new background on theese screenshots. Right now we’re continuing to work actively on improving the look of the game.

About the real mahjong

Posted on 12 August 2011 by Kai SD
We are studying the question of writing the real mahjong game based on our mahjong solitaire. To make this idea real, we need a consultant. It must be a person who knows the rules and features of the game.
Any volunteers?
