Huzzah!

[ComputerWarrior]

Whales is no longer actively working on Cataclysm? :S Sure, it has been a while since I had last visited the Cataclysm forums (a minimum of two weeks) so I have been left uninformed about the latest happenings in Cata's development, but still...

Well, anyway, if that is the case (as in Whales not updating Cataclysm anymore) then I wish thou all who shall continue the development of Cataclysm or ensure its survival in other ways good luck!

[Donuts]

GlyphGryph, thou hath my blessing.

[Sergius]

Posting to watch, and I have a suggestion.

I remember Whales wanting to tweak the chargen a bit. Specifically, to segregate skills from the other build points so that people wouldn't feel they're "wasting" points in skills instead of more permanent stuff.

So, why not add a separate "skill point pool" in the chargen that only works for training skills?

[Trapezohedron]

This new thread intrigues me, primarily about the question of whether Whales is still hands on with this project.

PTW, and what did I miss concerning Cataclysm's events?

[Robsoie]

That's the good side of having a project set in open source, if a coder is not interested anymore in his  project, if another coder is interested he can take over or fork it without a problem.

Great to see that Cataclysm will then see more development this way, it is a good game with a lot of potential.

[ChairmanPoo]

I think I hated you for some offense I can't remember, but for maintaining Cataclysm, now I like you.

[Leatra]

PTW. It's good to see this game getting revived.

Inquiry: is there a changelog stating what's different from the last Whalesian version?

[GlyphGryph]

I'll see about getting a changelog together for you guys and adding it to the OP. I know (at the very least) most of the major bugs have been fixed, there's a new and improved lighting system, and that there are a lot more recipes.

And as of last night, wild animals are afraid of fire (including crafted torches) and you can open certain windows from the inside.

Obviously, there is a LOT more than that that has been added though.

Edit:
Okay, see: http://www.cataclysm.glyphgryph.com/smf/index.php?topic=6.0

[The Darkling Wolf]

Yeah, I'll do a better changelog up at some point, but that highlights some of the new shit.
E: Also, the lighting system works fine on Windows.

[Greiger]

I can not post to watch hard enough.

Whales if you happen to come by and take a look at this, I'll miss ya man, but it looks like your creation is in good hands.

[Leonon]

Would the emulator image found here update with your version without any editing?

[GlyphGryph]

I don't see why not, although, again, I should specify that there is, in fact, a windows version...

[Greiger]

I entered a cave.  I then found that an ex handiman with a hatchet can not take on a bear.

Nice touch with the curtained windows.  I also found a lawnmower in a hardware store.  I can only imagine what that is used for.
