Tarn to guest on Red Pages Podcast
« on: February 24, 2016, 08:17:43 pm »

Hello! Sorry for the first-day request, but we're having Tarn on the show again and I thought you folks would be the best-equipped with questions for us to ask him.
The last episode he was on is here: http://redpagespodcast.com/listen/throw-the-vampire-down
and if you're interested, there was a good amount of extra discussion that made it into its own episode.

Thanks!

Edit: Show's all wrapped up! I'll post a link here once it's edited and uploaded. Thanks for the questions!

Since the doom-mongers seem to be in full force a couple of threads away, do you have a concrete plan in place for optimizing when DF eventually becomes too slow to play even a small fortress due to technology limitations (like single-thread processing speeds, etc)? Even just a yes or no is cool if you don't want to get into details.

Just a few questions I have lingering in my mind:


When it comes to immersing yourself in a game, do you feel that there's a peak to how deep games can take us, or is the no bound to how in-depth games can become?

Are there physical or mental barriers you face when deciding to take the development in a new direction?

How much do previous plans impact new ones as they arise?


Thanks!

Ooh, ooh, I have a question!

Do you view community megaprojects, and if so, do you have a favourite? And do you know that someone recreated space invaders with magma physics?

Yep, he linked to Armok Invaders on the dev page.

What is one feature you want more then anything to be in the game that is not already done?

We have a rich tradition of percussion instruments as well, all of which are based around a musician smacking variously sized hollow rocks.
It was quite brutal actually. Who knew you could suffer major head trauma from undergarments?
