can u give us an ETA?

Pardon me for ruining some of the hype but... Don't you need to pay a certain amount of money to put an app on the app store? I don't have a phone (iPhone or otherwise) so I don't really know, i'm going off of things I heard a while ago. That's why apps have adds though, right? And, correct me if i'm wrong, but I think many people would want this to be an ad-free app if at all possible.

So here's my question: Will you accept donations to keep this app ad-free? I think many people would want to donate if at all possible. Just a question.

Also: Will you be willing to share the code with someone as you progress, so that the person may create an android counterpart? (Not me specifically, the most I code is a few creatures)

Most of this answered somewhere above but anyway.

You need to have a developer account, which I have anyway because I have other apps published. The reason for ads is that devs want money (and you can't really blame them . This will definitely not have ads, so it will be either free or reasonably priced paid app.

Also: Will you be willing to share the code with someone as you progress, so that the person may create an android counterpart? (Not me specifically, the most I code is a few creatures)

I'll share the code for the server side, just a bit later because I expect certain things to change in the protocol, and honestly it's just a bit ugly at the moment.

*cough* any updates on the development *cough*

I'm posting status updates in my blog http://blog.mifki.com I wish I had more time to work on it though.

Hope you finish this baby one day

Will mods and DFhack work on this? Will we even have a method for installing mods?

The plan is to implement vanilla features first obviously, but trying to make better UI so that some of dfhack plugins are not required anymore. To access some other plugins that only add console commands, well, console window can be provided as well.

Mods should work, as I don't hard-code anything, so changes in raws should all work.

For those who's not following the development in my blog, here's a status update.

Recently implemented:
* units screen
* meetings, requests and agreements

Some time ago:
* squads menu (switching alerts, issuing move/attack orders)
* standing orders
* labour management
* status screen - better overview, animals, stone
* reports screen

Screenshots and animated gifs are in the blog.

Nice progress
Keep up the good work Mister!

And now to unit information screens, then game loading/saving, proper UI for connecting to servers, and finally, military screen. There will still be number of missing things (including world generation by the way), but at least it should be playable after that.

It "sounds" like it's not thaaaaaaaat far away from a playable product?
