New Version Soonish?
« on: December 09, 2013, 01:44:36 am »

Been gone for a long time... How far off are we from the new version? Feels like forever since the old version was released.

It should be out before this time of 2016. I wouldn't expect anything sooner. :D

Nah, it should be done by early next year or so. He seems to be working on the final notes now.

Maybe February, but I doubt it'll go that long.

You can't rush perfection. I'd say somewhere between now and the heat death of the universe.

I don't think we've ever gone this long without a new version?

But that's far more than 10100 years away! I can't wait that long!

The previous great hiatus lasted about this long, though this hiatus is very close to becoming longer than the other one, if it hasn't by now.

On the other hand, the lifespan of this release will probably be the longest of any previous release to this point, if by the end of the bugfixing releases sweep it's relatively bug free again, what with complete sites and world activities during play

Live long if you can, and prosper by any means necessary.  Any means, Urist.  So pull that lever, or by Armok, I'll lock you outside come next siege.
He who plays with dwarves must take care that he does not become a dwarf.  And when you stare into DwarfFort, Dwarffort stares back into you.

Quote from: spambot, saved because lol
The past excellent break survived about this lengthy, though this break is very near to becoming more time than the other one, if it hasn't by now.

December 29 is the day it gets to finally be longer.

Searchcode "Taylor Swift". (You'd be surprised at how little people say the names of pop stars on these boards.)

Post-worldgen history continuation, complete combat overhaul, complete personality overhaul, complete conversation overhaul in adventure mode, complete tree overhaul (now multi-tile!), dwarf sites in adventure mode, elf sites in adventure mode, goblin sites in adventure mode, new Hidden Fun Stuff in adventure mode, complete movement overhaul, small trading overhaul, complete questing overhaul, complete politics overhaul.

That's off the top of my head.

Now if only they could make adventure mode combat easier.
Or is that what you meant by complete combat overhaul?
