Was going  to download it Jim but I think my Firefox has just updated it self and now I can't download zip's
It keeps cumming up with Index.php as the file!  :-\

Do you use Kaspersky antivirus or other web security tools?   If so you could try temporarily disabling them.

Wow! That's really great Jim! I especially like the grass.  The cracks are a bug?? I thought that was earthquakes cracking the ground, it fits well anyway, especially considering the compo theme :)

Really nice!

Really cool intro Jim. It's cool to read how much work you spend on the general framework itself (screen selection, bitmap loading etc). It works just great. I tried it with another PNG (pixelated portrait of mine) and it just works great (see attached screenshot). The grass rocks too. Really good stuff!!!

Hmm ... yes, that sounds like a general problem then (refer to http://www.dbfinteractive.com/forum/index.php?topic=1377.0 (http://www.dbfinteractive.com/forum/index.php?topic=1377.0)). Maybe its some browser/own system specific resolving problem...since it happens only in firefox on some machines and I guess only with files ending with .rar.

That was great jim, I have always been interested in CG hair/fur as it's a difficult thing to achieve even with CGI software. 
Well done!  :clap:

Great work Jim!  I really enjoyed watching this, the scroll text about how you went about making the fur effect is interesting too.

The draw distance is good, but I get a lowly 10fps on my best hardware.

The textures look great, and the lightning effect is also effective.
