Polka2 was under development a bit, by Edwin_, but atm our dev7 entry is prio again. After newyear we've new time again for P2. I didn't continue 5tile anymore, lack of motivation (which usually happens to me for each project, after a while ). I do have an experimental 5tile II, I actually used it for our delayed MRC megachallenge entry, but that's not in such a state that it can be released..
Maybe P2 will become so modular that our Polka2 tile editor can be transformed into a sc5 editor.. :-)
The first 5tile was as finished as you saw it on that fair back then. Minor issues apart, it surely did the essential things, be it tile-related, not free-hand. One of the reasons I kept on developing is because I'm less a designer than e.g. you. So, I'd need more tile/gfx management, while you perhaps don't. Contrary to popular belief, one with less skills actually needs more functions, to compensate for what one lacks..
I could look at it again if you like? And give you some feedback? I am busy drawing cells at this moment (not this very moment but you know what I mean) and maybe I get some ideas...
Yes, same goes for all of you! Point your IRC client to irc.rizon.net and /join #msx so we can do some nice MSX chatting again, it's been a while... :) Of course you can also use rizon's webchat if you don't have an IRC client...
