ptw!

Progress is still going on, though life keeps on getting in the way of things. I started work on the dinner stage - you can move your hand around, clasp and unclasp it, and even try (and usually fail) to pick up silverware.

Looks awesome,when can we expect a alpha for this part?

This game sounds hilarious, but I was under the impression that when you break etiquette only your country got nuked. That could also be a solution to multiplayer griefing.

nah unless I got this thing wrong then YOU breaking proper manners (at least for the country that's watching) then everything somehow degrades into nuclear war

I want a game where you play a diplomat in a very formal embassy party. If you make the slightest faux pas, all the other diplomats and dignitaries freak out and rush to their suites to press the red "LAUNCH NUKES" buttons.

If one of them presses the red buttons, you get a long animation of the nukes flying, the counterattack, the detonations, and the end of all humanity. As the camera pulls back from the smoking ruins of earth, it says what you did wrong, like "You put the wine in the port glass."

Was the original premise, from the "Games You Wish Existed" thread. So, probably maximum ridiculousness.

What's next
The dinner stage is a fine proof of concept right now, but it's not a game. I'll add various objectives, such as having to pick up some food or pour some wine before the next release.

Want something implemented?
I've set up a google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kiJFw2GR8wVLfn_mrOS2cDILSWEJ82g5ZW4YoE-YMTw/edit?usp=sharing. Please add ideas here. While this thread is great, it sometimes doesn't give me very concrete objectives.

Tried out the latest version,must say that it's coming along nicely,added my two idea's/complaint's about the dinner part to the list.

This has a lot of promise,I wish I could help but I don't know how to code and don't really care to try and find out how.

I'd look around for a logo but I wouldn't know what would be illiegel and what wouldn't.

EDIT I can think of a logo concept,a nuclear symbol next to the words Diplomacy simulator

Woah what, how did this get 4 releases when I wasn't looking?
You work quick, Kofthefens.

The download page for Linux currently 404's, but congratulations on rapid releases!

I'm putting together a simple logo, although Bay12's many talented artists will probably put me to shame.

My bad. It should be up now - I just typed in the wrong number in one spot, so it was trying to link to the (nonexistent) release 5.

You work quick, Kofthefens.

Thanks. I tend to work in short bursts. I might not work on it at all today, but then would for several hours straight on Monday evening.

Great! Even a placeholder logo would be nice.

Yeah, that does seem to be the leaning for it now.
     Also, I'm decently handy with Inkscape, so I could help out with some mock-ups or the likes.

It literally looks like a wiener. Like it couldn't be anything else besides a massive, tall, glorious sausage.
