Motivation for new Fortress is difficult with update in the works
« on: January 11, 2015, 02:11:49 pm »
Just wondering if anyone else has found themselves experiencing difficulty committing to a new Fortress since Meph began updating to 40.23 :'(  Even cycling through my current Forts, all I could think of is playing the leaner Dwarves with all of the fun baddies using Climbing and multi-Z trees.  Ok I'm done, /rant

Guys... Guys... thats a months-long progress. It makes no sense to wait, if I barely managed to do 1/4 of one race, ignoring all the general content and the other 7 races. Its... 2% total progress or something.

And tomorrow I'll be cycling again, probably without internet for up to a week. Except stops at restaurants/cafes with wifi to check my emails.

Hence the paradox, lol.  I'm aware of the dev times involved, just hard not to be psyched for it, inevitably comparing my current Fortress to what might be.  How's your trip been, btw?

Ah hi meph. :P

Dont worry, i have not only stoped because i wait. Have tried other games like rimworld and an more annoying game named Real Life. xD
Dont hurry and make your work good and more important have fun on your trip. ^.^

We waiting here for our teasing master meph. :P Btw your first updates were so fast... have you done other things beside coding?
Such vital things like eating and sleeping? Q_Q Stay with us meph we need you. ;)

Edit: @Immortal-D: Imagine... what you all can do with a new shiny version of actuall DF and with a nice reborn masterwork...*droll*

I've talked to a lot of people about a lot of DF related stuff, I hope to get a basic GUI up for the new version, and add more dwarf mode things. Maybe tonight...

Toady I wrote 20 short articles for my tumblr, did a youtube video for one of my sponsors, packed, planned the route to Poland, found two girls who invited me to stay at their places in Warsaw, made a backup of all my pictures... so even if I have an indoor-day with access to electricity and internet, it might not always just be DF. ;) Forum support and writing up the ideas for other people to read also takes time.

Jeez Meph, biking tour in Europe, modding DF in your spare time.  I'm totally jelly :P  The most exciting thing for me is paying off my loans, and just now starting to save towards a studio :-\  On the plus side, I think Masterwork 6.2 will hold me for a while, cuz this just popped out of my Archeologist's Study in the first year;

It helps actually, knowing the next release is going to be a while gives me plenty of time to enjoy the last one.
