Projects exist in a time continuum. They start at some point, exist for an amount of time and then reach the deadline (hopefully). Keeping this in mind, we developed a timeline view to show progress and tasks – you can preview it here. 
This project is developed as a part of a bigger application – 5pm™. It’s a second generation project management tool, developed by our QG|Software division.
We plan to add editing capabilities to the timeline (imagine just dragging your tasks around) and other cool features.
To find more about this project and track its development, go to www.5pmweb.com. The beta release is coming out soon.
TheoWorlds Builder (TheoSDK 2) – a new generation platform for building online games and avatar chat worlds – was updated with new features:
- Elevations support. Now maps can have hills, different floor levels and so on. The picture on the left shows the map in the edit mode – a grid of tiles with different height covers the map, defining its shape.
- New map graphics. We worked hard on creating high quality maps and here is the preview of the first one.
- Map background/foreground support. Instead of covering the whole map with tiles, you can also use a background image. A foreground image can be used too – in this example the disco light installations are always in the front.

I have good news for those who are interested in how our products are made. We just opened TheoWorlds Labs – a section where we will be posting previews of our projects in progress. You will be able to see steps from our projects, before they reach the final release.
