So is the Update after the big wait still going to be called DF2014?

Probably DF2020.

and then... theres me
don't remember any of that
crash landed just before a big wait
great isn't it?

So is the Update after the big wait still going to be called DF2014?

Or will they go with something else?

If something else, my vote is "DFM2"

For one, DF2014 is an informal name, and considering that it's:
a) going to come anywhere between 4 and 6 (realistically) years after DF2014
b) is going to feature significant overhauls and changes


I think it's fair to say it will NOT be DF2014 anymore.
My guess is that it'll be DF201x (where x is the year it releases in) much like DF2014, but DFM2 sounds nice too.


But really, it's most likely either that, or whatever actual version number it's going to bump into at that point.

[KittyTac]

My guess is that it'll be DF201x

It's not going to be released in 2019. Either 2020 or 2021.

[Putnam]

i'll just call it... 0.48 or whatever

minor chance it'll be 0.50, since 0.40 was also a 6-version jump, wouldn't that be wild

[KittyTac]

Magic takes up quite a bit of the dev page, so possibly 0.50.

[Egan_BW]

Nah, he'll go into a strange mood, and we'll be waiting till 2028 for DF 0.102

[Putnam]

it's be 1.02 at that point

Magic takes up quite a bit of the dev page, so possibly 0.50.

depends on how much magic gets in, right? the myths are pretty major too

[KittyTac]

Magic will be dependent on the myths. So at least half of magic will get in in the first pass.

[Putnam]

that assumes that at least half of myths get in; a pretty big chunk of world activities have been post-0.40.01, and inclusion of more is not just ongoing but the focus of the next release.

Sure, but myths are lumped together with magic on the dev page. So it's logical that magic will be in on the first pass.

to me, the big wait is waiting for a linux version of mephs pack-launcher.

I'm waiting for graphine/quantum magic computers.
I needs 16x16 forts with 2000 dwarfs

They will only become affordable after 50 years, if not more.

Soooo... right now we have just a small wait of months for the big villains update? And then the 1-2+ years of the myth/magic update right?

Been through several waits before (since 07ish?) so not impatient or anything but just wondering. Heck, he could spend 5 to 10 years on the next update if it speeds up development for all I care.

World activation was the greatest update ever. If he needs that sort of timeframe, or more, to do something similar or better, just do it! For the future of Dwarf Fortress!
