A short while ago I asked for help in finding a new design for ADOM II (formerly known as JADE) - the blog, the main screen of the game and the manual. A couple of people responded with design suggestions (thanks to all of you - I highly appreciate every submission) and here now are the results...
Welcome to the official blog for all things ADOM and JADE!

Further rebranding, new DevState
I'm slowly changing more parts of the website to account for ADOM II: Legends of Ancardia as the new title of the game. This evening I changed all the headlines, modified the subpages and specifically posted a new (still pretty basic) model for ADOM II Deluxe (formerly known as JADE: The Ultimate). Let me know what you think...
Oh, and have a look at the revised DevState. I have decided to do an ADOM II 0.2.9 release instead of directly proceeding with ADOM II 0.3.0 - in order to get my act together a bit faster. Some features have moved a bit down the line and I really urge myself to get into a more effective "release early, release often" mode - but I still need to work on myself ;-)

The websites are paying for themselves... for the first time in 10+ years!
It seems that it was the correct decision to add advertising to this blog. For the first time in ten years the website plus the hosting of www.adom.de are paid for by advertising - which is incredibly cool. Thanks for the huge number of visitors and thanks for occasionally clicking on an interesting ad! Spread the word, help ADOM II to surpass ADOM!

Scrolls ported from ADOM to ADOM II... finally
It took much longer than expected and the past couple of days have been filled with work but finally I'm done porting almost all the scrolls from ADOM to ADOM II. The missing ones are either story related or only work for items that do not yet exist in the game. Some testing still needs to be done but that hopefully will be finished a lot faster.
One more feature crossed out from the DevState :-)

The hand of Fate in ADOM II
Going back to a suggestion by Glen Oberman a couple of days ago (which again went back to a comment by Jacob..., probably in a discussion on Facebook - I couldn't find it here) I changed the whole way good and back luck work in ADOM II. And I'm happy about the new way.
The ADOM II design competition deadline is over!
Ok, it's the 25th of January, the ADOM II design competition is over. The number of suggestions is quite limited (less than 6) so we won't have to discuss much. Thanks to all submitters for your work - it is highly appreciated. I will post the results for discussion and voting over the next couple of days (today and probably also tomorrow I sadly am to busy to do them justice) so stay tuned.
BTW does anyone know about a good voting tool (preferably integrated into blogger) that could be used to vote for the best submission by category (e.g. logo, blog header, ...)? Please post suggestions here.

Updates concerning the ADOM II design competition
Folks, it's still time to get your ideas in and become a part of the legend ;-) The 24th of January is the deadline so you still can do it and become a submitter for the contest - even if you submit only a partial proposal!
One submitter (thanks a lot!) actually notified me of something stupid I did. The original call for designs included the following statement:
And now keep more submissions coming - we could need a bit more input (although I already got cool stuff). But considering the amount of people implying support for a graphical version I would have expected a bit more input :-) !
One submitter (thanks a lot!) actually notified me of something stupid I did. The original call for designs included the following statement:
Include a note stating that you grant all rights to me to use parts or the whole of the submission for whatever use I decide upon (see above). This point is important and submissions missing that will be ignored.Naturally I only meant that for the selected submission. I do not intend to "rob" anyone of their creations and even if for some reason I'd like to use more than one submission I'll talk to you beforehand to discuss that. You do not need to give me a free permission independent of the final outcome of the contest.
