There was some talk about doing the caravan arc out of order a little while back so, Which caravan arc topic will you be doing next?

I'm pretty sure he mentioned that he'd reorganize the dev page to show the new order once he and ThreeToe worked it out. That said, from the last thread, release 5 and the personality rewrite from release 8 are strong contenders.

I can definately see the point of getting release 5 moved up, since that's essentially laying down another layer of depth to the game as big as adventure or fortress mode. Being able to see the changes in the world is a great thing, but it seems like having worldgen continue during play should be put off rather than bumped up seeing as how it really needs most of the things from the caravan arc to be at its full potential. Granted if we got it early I certainly wouldn't complain...

I would really like he followed his own goals for once.
After a long development like this one, it would be nice to have some short feature releases for a time at least. But it looks like big releases are more financially interesting. I can see their reasoning.

I've actually been looking forward to the personality rewrite -- due to how it is necessary/helpful for 95% of the features I'm most looking forward to -- ever since it was first listed. I'm hoping against hope that it's in Release 2 no matter how much longer it makes it take.

Especially hilarious on maps with waterfalls.

I was also really confused about people saying he 'ignored' fortress mode, seems people who complained were taking what is obvious in to consideration, but not the subtleties that add up.

also, i dont generally give a damn if YOUR not an adventure mode player, others like it, hell im not sure but some people may just play ONLY adventure mode and get mad about fortress mode getting more attention.

considering that the most fun thing to do is play a long standing world with multiple forts and adventurers, then im happy with adventure mode getting some attention, it has been sorely neglected for all too long.

Man, dem suicide fisherdorfs.  So many "missing" fisherdorfs.  So many. 

[bombzero]

ah yeah, the missing thing makes fortress mode very interesting...

although there was a big fire and one of my woodcutters is 'missing', found a bronze axe and an artifact sock by the main road though...

Oh C'mon... Really? You think goals that Toady already finished aren't his own? .... and the implication that toady is doing it for money! oh... are you from around here? Do we live in the same world? ...and I don't wanna stir up a discussion, just couldn't believe someone can have so distorted view....

I was referring to Toady setting objectives (for example, Release 1 - towns and markets) that was supposed to be fast, but took 11 months and ended up with much more than what he planned; the fact that he is now considering to change the other planned releases - it is not the first time he does this; and though he aren't doing it for money, he needs it to survive and it is a fact the long development cycles give more money... though I don't think he is doing it on purpose. But if he does, it is his right.

It sickens me!

WHOA did Toady get a LOT in February.

Once again I am back to wondering what exactly Toady spends his money on... Knowing it is probably something boring like food and water.

Major release. I thought it will "generate" more money than DF2010 [..since the playerbase must be much bigger now] but I was wrong, since DF2010's release = 16k income for Toady in that month. Weird. Oh well, it's still a very nice amount of cash.
