[Ddynamo]

Darkened the shade of riots so that they stand out from walls

[Urist Mc Dwarf]

Added Yellow blocks. These blocks are destuructible and take a sword hit to destroy.

[ExKirby]

Coded in emotions for civs. So far I have;

=D - Happy, near other civs, no nearby blacks.
._. - Near a person with a sword
D=< - Near Red when he kills a civ
=( - Near blacks
D= - PICKLE RAGDOLL TIME

[Mesa]

Added the lighting system. It is dynamic and features a simple day/night cycle.
Also began working on some detailed textures.

[ExKirby]

I reckon we should keep the characters as boxes. Give the special ones fancy clothing, mind.

[Dorsidwarf]

Add a Z-level system, you climb "ladder" icons to reach a new level

[ExKirby]

That was quite impressive, especially considering 3D, but the levels do allow us a touch more creativity. Hmm...

Ok, just coded in a small town generator which Red spawns in, with a dungeon on the outskirts. at the start of the game a massive swarm of blacks spews from the dungeon and the player needs to delve into the dungeon to get the pickle to stop the block onslaught. Simple!

I've coded in the White Cubes Faction.

They have a random chance to appear in town and reward you with small cube-pets depending on how many black you have killed at the moment.
The more you kill the better the Cube-pet is.

-Fixed no less than twelve different collision bugs
-General optimization, should run easily six times faster on low-end machines now
-Improved and more precise physics engine
-Lighting system no longer crashes the game upon entering dungeon
-Day/Night cycle finalized

[Mesa]

Looks like I left some dev cheats in by accident, he he. Of course, they're gone now, so don't bother looking, unless I made a colossal mistake.
Anyway, I've continued work on terrain and special character textures and some cool-looking special effects (most of which can be disabled, for you toaster gamers).

I've also added a few extras to the dungeon generation, to spice things up. Have fun!

-Fixed pathfinding with dungeon extras
-Actually, fixed all current pathfinding issues and optimized the pathfinding code quite a bit. Not sure who wrote it in the first place, but it was causing the game to slow down like hell on even high-end machines. What is this, Dwarf Fortress?

Coded in more PC ability's, and customizationm currently rogue, knight, and mage, they only affect what color you start as, and I Made Light blue mages, they dont do anything yet though, like class's.

Well, don't blame me, I didn't write this pathfinding code.

While we're at it, who is our modeler?
The models are really hard to work with and are grinding my gears. I can't work with this, so whoever you are, get on it so that I can continue doing my job.

Also, fixed a rare bug where the dungeon extras would not generate on certain Mac systems.

[LordSlowpoke]

so i went ahead and added polychromatic blocks with randomly generated effects on kill - most will spawn neutral, with 10% enemy and 2% allied, didn't revamp the hackjob of an ally ai we have now (you actually put all the combined arrays in a list and throw it an rng to determine what's being attacked next wtf) but now that we've got the framework you should be able to make your own color-changing blocks or switch color tones for the swat ones to show how many hits are needed to kill them

also patched up that weird bug causing a loyalty cascade when a blue hit a blue when attacking a black and blues spawning in dungeons by the bucketload if a green wandered in from overmap

[ExKirby]

For completeness' sake, here's the dungeon features I can identify;

Town Portal: Sends you back to spawn
Black Hive: Spawns blacks over time
Treasure room (standard): Room with a non-functioning chest inside.
Treasure room (trapped): Looks like above, but upon entry, you'll get swarmed by blacks.
Chasm bridge: A narrow wooden bridge, careful not to fall
Crypt: Has a coffin. Maybe mummies would be a cool thing.
Hammer Door: You walk through the door and get knocked backwards. Does no damage, but if there's a swarm of blacks...
Pickle Altar: THE ALMIGHTY PICKLE IS YOURS

What did I miss?
