The Bay 12 Games Report, August 1st, 2010
Mission Status (Threetoe):
Thunder. Your generosity echoes throughout the ages, reflecting the glorious past and into the glowing, unstoppable future. Who would blink and miss a moment of victory? All is as one. Courage, Hope, Majesty: all these are yours, for all time!
Programming Schedule (Toady One):
This month we'll be starting up on one of the more nebulous development items, which is entity populations. The basic idea is to have more numerous intelligent civilized critters with a bit less history for most individuals. The increased population should immediately lead to a much greater sprawl of civilized critters on the world map around their previously isolated towns, and the new site framework there should also give us adventurer-made sites in short order, so that you'd be able to, say, make a wall and have it waiting for you upon your return. There are a number of other dev page items which will rely on entity pops later on, in both modes. I'll also be fixing up more bugs, though I haven't decided on where I'll be focusing yet.
