Don't know, maybe a update on how the kitchen works on DF is coming and we have to be prepared with new fancy kitchenware?

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?
My ship exploded midflight, but all the shrapnel totally landed on Alpha Centauri before anyone else did.  Bow before me world leaders!

You mean dwarfs can now make more than just biscuits, stew, and roast out of anything edible?

Not until the tavern releases, most likely.

You guys have reported the spam already, right?

I haven't seen such heresy around here much. I'm always vigilant to report spam however.

Now that combat has had a few changes and pulping is in, are weapons that deal mostly or entirely blunt damage, such as hammers, maces, ranged weapons, and ammunition in flight going to be more effective?

Given current events, I've altered my profile pic and I'm sorry it took so long to fix. If you find the old one on any of my accounts elsewhere on the internet, let me know by message (along with the specific site) and I'll fix. Can't link the revised avatar for some reason.

For what I have understood, the only changes concerning combat are an active defense/passive defense -thing, a new way to handle speed and multiple attacks and a vision arcs and moving during combat. DFTalk #21 stuff, you know. Like you're going to get negative modifiers when you are fighting against a large mobs because of passive defense isn't as effective as parrying, but I think that effects of the weapons haven't changed. Blunt weapons are still bone-breakers and pain-makers and crossbows are still machine guns.

How do you decide the order of the arcs to work on?
Do you have everything planned out, or do you just start on whatever suits your fancy at that moment?

Really excited for this next release! Seeing as unarmed combat will be a large part of nonlethal combat, and perhaps even lethal combat, when might we see gauntlets and boots affecting unarmed strikes with their respective limbs?

Presumably that'll happen when Toady gets to the combat "arc" proper, which could be a while. It could happen sooner if there's a compelling reason for it or if it somehow becomes a low-hanging fruit. Either way, there's no timeline for it.

What do you have in mind to work for the next release? I mean, after the obvious bug fixing and relatively "small" introduction of new features cycle. Or what do you think it will be the next logical step after this release with the world becoming dynamic and all?

1. Print this page.

2. Pin to wall.

3. Throw darts.

Any item within one foot of where the dart lands is possible, but not guaranteed, for the next release cycle.

Apparently in-fort taverns are on the near horizon.

I understand that it is disappointing when a dwarf makes a spiked loincloth instead of an axe.

Yeah, those seem to be on the near horizon, as in a successive "short" development period. I'm wondering about the "next big" thing, that of course if Toady has thought off something yet, or have a preference for something, or if he's waiting to see where the post release bug fixing and development leads him.

Witty's answer is pretty much as good as it gets. We won't know until the end of the end of the bugfix cycle, when Toady'll decide on it.

Quote from: Witty
While this may be a bit presumptuous, what are your plans for after the usual post bug fixing ? What should we expect will be next on the dev list?

I really don't know.  Knight Otu mentioned the thief role and taverns and inns (both modes) as things we've floated in the past to do after we do the bug fixing, and those are still on the table.  Handling some management/job prioritization stuff in fort mode is there to be done.  Handling start scenarioey stuff and hill/deep dwarves as they relate to the fort opens a lot of doors.  Hard to say though.
