Damnit man, now I have to start reading Homestuck again.

[Isher]

So... this is a shorter arc, right? With a due date sometime soon, after which there will be a longer arc? Cause if so, I can actually bring myself to play it a while after release. I usually wait until the beginning of a long arc.

[voliol]

This is a half-long arc, which is supposed to be finished at the end of the year, bug fixes and all. The first (unstable?) version should hopefully come out within a few weeks. Then begins the Big Wait, which is supposed to last a few years, before the myths&magic update/arc.

PTW

[Urist McVoyager]

I can hold on as long as we get at least monthly devlogs. We usually get them every week or two, even during those long hauls, so I'll be fine.

I can hold on as long as the current version runs without unbearable bugs (like Mousequery messing up, as it currently does in 44.12r1)

Isn't that a util/dfhack plugin thing?
Work on those won't stop.

it worked in 44.09 and since they merged twbt and dfhack, they chose to dump the working one and used the one that refused to work on nonwidescreens

And that has nothing at all to do with the development of Dwarf Fortress. "they" will keep working on 3rd party utils throughout the Big Wait, probably more so as there won't be any version catch up to put up with for a couple of years.

[Untrustedlife]

Forgive me for my ignorance but I'm yet to find out what the whole villain thing really entails. The dev notes aren't exactly clear since Toady just comments on how villains form relationships for reasons but I still don't understand the purpose of it all.

How do these "villains" affect the game? Are they just quest objectives or do they have anything special going on for them? Are they going to be involved in fortress mode in any significant way? The notes say "extort from the fortress" but that sounds mostly identical to the current sieges.

What it means is there will be actual villains with plans and cronies and such to create narratives. He mentioned if you pester them Enough in adventure mode they may hire people to assassinate you. You could interrogate people to find more information and such  It basically means adventure mode can actually have some kind of procedural narrative for you to follow. I can’t wait to uncover global conspiracies and stuff and track down and end them. In adventure mode, this is incredibly exciting. If you have read many of the threetoe stories this is the piece of the pie we need to actually start creating proto-versions of those kind of immersive narratives.

well, maybe i have to poke them enough to fix it then

[RenoFox]

I'm definitely excited about having more characters react to my actions and forming grudges.

In all honesty, I'm also looking forward to all the new memes the bugs of the first release is bound to create almost as much. Like, maybe towns will make peace with wild animals by marrying their daughters to them, spies infiltrating armies as warhorses, or power of friendship solving all the world's problems. It is inevitable.

Those all sound like features to me

you forgot the king declaring war to the clams and sending all their soldiers to drown inthe river.

Nonsense. Everyone knows the giant sponges are the worst threat in the water.
