Progress Update
I've been continuing work on the in-game part of RTB4. I've had to spend some time doing a bit of framework stuff which is largely uninteresting. I'm working on finalising the chat window design for the chat client. I've decided to ditch tabbed chat windows for the moment because they're just a pain to implement nicely.
I've implemented the "is typing a message" statuses and I'm working on getting some nice emoticons to use for the chat. The font size is 12px and most emoticons are 16px or larger so I've got someone doing some custom ones for us.
Mostly it's just tidying up the code and interface for the beta now. There are a few more issues with usability that I want to fix and then we're ready to go. I want to stress that the beta will be very basic - the initial download will only contain the chat client and nothing else. I'll gradually re-integrate features in future betas.

IRC spam dramas just got a whole lot more interesting.

It would be nice if we have cookiemonster emoticons. :cookieMonster:
I'm excited.

It'd be a challenge to depict the cookie monster in all of his glory using 144 pixels.
