I just realized that I haven't updated this in well over a month, so I better get cracking.
The current progress is slow. I am currently working on a map editor so I can pin down the exact map format, internally, that I want to use. There is a possibility that the editor will be included in the actual client so that idle players can fiddle with creating better maps.
On the actual map rendering front, I have added a Water Layer. It is almost good enough to post, but I am still working on the shader settings. My Next task, after finishing water, is to do the 'fluff', things like roads, trees, rocks, and such.
I will post images as soon as I can.
