GLORIOUS NPCS.

I think a couple pages ago there was discussion of a new tileset, right?  It looked pretty radical, but I noticed the key/legend/whatever on the text-bit on the right-side still displayed the regular ASCII "Z"s and stuff instead of the proper tileset-graphic.  Is that just unsupported, or was that due to the tileset just being WIP or something?

This release promises to be either really fun or so stupidly hard I never touch this game again. Probably somewhere in the middle that has me gnashing my teeth over my weapon breaking or getting killed by a demon far before I could fight/run away from it properly while screaming "I AM HAVING FUN!" at the top of my lungs.

There were a lot of stability improvements, NPCs randomly causing crashes is pretty rare now.
I recommend turning on static NPCs at this point, because...

Sounds fun!  And judging from Arcvasti's post, there's weapon durability too?  Are we able to fix up our weapons?

From what I remember from an experimental version I looked at, there's repair kits you can build and stock. With DUCT TAPE. Which, in the last stable version at least, was more valuable then gold, being so useful in so many crafting recipes while being relatively hard to find.

Duct tape is much more common now.

Also, yes.

Mixing text and tiles is unsupported, though tilesets can and do add ascii fallback tiles, so it looks like it's mixed on the map.  In order to support mixing ascii and tiles on the sidebar, we'd have to overhaul that whole thing to actually display tiles that have ascii on them, I'm not sure we'd get around to that... ever.

You can however have three different fonts set, one for terrain, one for sidebar and menus, and one for the overmap.

New version, wooooo! Thank you for your hard work, fellas!

One minor gripe - it seems my guy is freezing at unreasonable high temperatures. I mean, I live in the Arctic and I don't need anything on my hands at the level where my character's fingers are freezing solid. On the other hand, I might be just used to it. So maybe add a trait "Northman" or something that makes you resistant to cold?

Yeah, I suggested that a few pages back. Coming from a (moderately) chilly region myself, I definitely agree that C:DDA characters are just whiny bitches when it come to cold. :P

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

So I finally get a bike and every, and get set up with a full metalsmithing shop so I take my bike out to explore. Run into a farm, kill 10 zombies easy peasy, and harvest up some farm animals.

Then fucking MOOSE OUT OF NOWHERE.

Oh well, guess it's time to update to stable :P

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

Meanwhile, I managed to kill a moose by throwing rocks at it until it got to point blank and then punching it the rest of the way.
