Wait for the next release. I want usable mugs damn it!

We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

You know how depression seems to be one of the themes for this thread? Well... yeahhhhhh.......

I love the idea for a radio show. But, I still need to finish the Vanya stuff... I guess motivation is the current problem. :\

Am I really the ONLY ONE LEFT??

I got help for mine thank you very much. Didn't help on the motivation front but at least I'm nowhere near as much of downer as I once was.

[TalonisWolf]

  Well, that took longer than expected. Sorry about that, I have no excuse.

  I ended up splitting the image into an general overview-sorta shot, the left side, and the right side. It was the best solution I could come up with, due to my limited editing power at the moment.

Overview-Sorta:(WHY IS IT UPSIDE DOWN!!)

Left Side:

Right Side:(...Why is this side bigger than the left? The pics are the same size on my Ipad...huh.)

 I drew this from the POV of one of those Surveillance Cameras Mr Frog holds dear, so it isn't a view of his whole room... but it's a start.

That is awe-inspiring.

I think I am going to destroy the image I made today now...

 NOOOOOOOOOOOO! STOP RIGHT THERE!

 Wait a few days, then take another look. If you still hate it THEN, throw it out, if you wish.

 Remember, you are your own worse critic (and if I hadn't followed my own advice, that piece would have been thrown in my scraps. Close one).

Edit: Does Fischer have a growl? He/She/It's been protrayed in so many ways that I'm not sure how one would decide to voice Fischer.

There aren't nearly enough mugs in that picture. I only counted three.

[Aseaheru]

In comparison to those images it is trash.

If you're thinking of throwing something away, do it in such a way that you can learn from it. I would just sit there and coat it in graphite 'til it looks better. (translation: draw until you like it or it's so messed up you can't hold it without getting covered in black powder and eraser gunk.)

Okay, it took a bit of experimenting to prevent bizarre bugs, but I currently have, in my arena, a limbless, headless, bloodless and mutilated dwarf torso that is nevertheless kept alive through benevolent faerie magicks. He is blind, helpless, and in excruciating pain, and yet does not die. In the event that something happens to put him out of his misery, the Endless Witch (Umineko reference) Giantess I have in the arena simply resurrects him.

I deem this project a success. Now to attach the interaction to a region effect and do some Dwarf Mode testing.

E: I should point out that this is all because of Starweaver giving me inspiration   Aren't you happy with yourself, Starweaver?

E: Unfortunately, it appears that butchered skin is resurrectable, which results in quite a bit of weirdness.

E: Okay, so it turns out most of the weirdness only happens in Arena Mode for some reason. Took a bit for the dwarves to haul the resurrected corpse to the hospital to be stitched up, but it happened eventually. Now I'm watching to see what happens when a dwarf dies of dehydration and is subsequently resurrected.

(Not sure why I'm posting all of this in this thread, come to think of it...)

Did anything ever come of this? It certainly makes good biomes a bit more interesting, and I'd love to take a look under the hood.

[TalonisWolf]

What are the results of Fortress Mode testing?

[Mr Frog]

What are the results of Fortress Mode testing?

Fairly-buggy. Resurrected animals would drop off the Animals list for a while (rendering them unable to be butchered), and when they came back they'd be listed as Not Tame even though they actually were. Also, resurrected dwarves are incapable of being selected for noble positions.

And then there's the small issue that it actually crashed after a bit. Not sure if it actually had anything to do with the resurrection effect but I'm willing to wager that it did.

E: Good job on the artwork, by the way. I'm impressed at the detail and perspective.

[Cynm]

Speaking of the artwork I composited the left and right sides together, see results below. TalonisWolf, you did a fantastic job. I like the frog moss specimen on the wall.



Full size.

Edit: I just noticed my composite is a little askew, I'll try to fix it later.

@Starweaver396:

There aren't nearly enough mugs in that picture. I only counted three.

 But how many are in the cabinet? Huh? Did you think of that? 

@Mr Frog: What could cause that sort of bug?

 And Thank You for the compliment- boosts my overinflated ego. 

 @Cynm: So much better! Thank you Cynm.

Concur. This is Mr Frog's room. There is literally no reason that cabinet wouldn't be bigger on the inside.

@Mr Frog: What could cause that sort of bug?

Probably the fact that Toady never really intended for resurrections to happen in Fortress Mode and so put in minimal handling for such an occurrence. I was shocked that it worked at all (although it did crash eventually a bit after a troll got in and tenderised some animals -- my instinct is that someone's pet was resurrected and the game didn't know how to reassign it properly).
