[Erk]

Seven months since I started, about six weeks since we started working on it as a community, UltiCa now has a playable demo release.
https://github.com/I-am-Erk/CDDA-Tilesets/releases/tag/Demo_2019-10-30

[BikeRacks]

I fired it up, and it looks fantastic so far. Exciting to see a tileset like this actively being worked on, especially with MSX DP defuncted.

[duckman]

Deadpeople is apparently being worked on again, but probably won't make a return to the mainline until the issue that got it removed can be confirmed as being fixed.

[scriver]

Neat! I'm gonna try it out when I get on my computer. Is it as simple as a drag-and-drop to the right folder or do you have to do something more to install it?

edit: It worked great until the game crashed

The Bluescreen for more items in the same tile instead of the old apostrophe will take a bit getting used too, though.

[Erk]

The bluescreen is a default filler, I plan to use an ellipsis

This week's changelog went up, and I finally had a chance to cross-post it.

0.D Official Release Build (#8574)

Editors note:I-am-Erk and snipercup are doing an enormous amount of work on looks_like entries to improve tile set coverage.  I opted not to list all the individual Prs.

In other update-related news, I had a lot of time on Friday and worked in another release of UltiCa.

https://github.com/I-am-Erk/CDDA-Tilesets/releases/

[Vorbicon]

So I tried messing around with the Magiclysm mod and I have to ask, is it supposed to be incredibly weak? I was trying to kill a basic zombie with a beginner attack spell and was basically doing 1 point of damage.

[Dark One]

Huh, I haven't played this one in a reeeeally long time it seems. Might come back to it once Darkwood gets boring, I'm eager to try one of the experimentals and see how the new additions play. Also, I love that tileset you're working on Erk!

[notquitethere]

Years ago I added two hats to the game that are still in the main branch (the beret and the pickelhaube). One of these days I'll be sure to contribute some more.

My favorite parts of the game are the cyborg aspects, the mutations and the car stuff. I found it too difficult to actually build cars, as the chances of having the right skills and finding and fitting the right parts without being killed by zombies were too slim for me. So when booting up a game I usually load up the map and then sprint towards the nearest carpark and grab whatever vehicle is going. My favourite way to play the game is to drive from gas station to station, doing smash and grabs on shops along the way.

My most successful character ever had a zweihander and an electric shock implant. Unstoppable on the battle field. I had three shopping trolleys filled with useful loot in a shack in the town and was slowly clearing it out, block by block. But then she collapsed in an alleyway and died of an asthma attack: I'd accidentally left my inhaler back in one of those trolleys.

I haven't played in a bit but that sounds weaker than I remember. That said, the beginner spells aren't very potent, it's going for a d&d power curve I think

Cool, thanks! I hope you like all the new stuff. Making faction bases is a great time.

That is an incredibly Cataclysm story.

Magiclysm rewards studying. you're supposed to keep studying the spells via the spellbooks until they reach their maximum lvl. otherwise you're weaker at combat than people using regular weapons, your mana pool limits how much stuff you can cast on any given time so its not meant to be a replacement of other forms of combat, rather a supplemental way to get rid of the hostile entities in the cataclysm.

the spellbook itself tells you how much damage, range and mana cost you have per lvl if you wanna know. 

in other news, it seems the dev team announced a feature freeze which means we will get version 0.E Soon(tm)

[Erk]

Yeah, 0.E should be a month or two away. It will resemble the current experimental but with more of the bugs ironed out and ideally a bit more content finished.

I'm dearly hoping to get ultica into it.

[Talvara]

Just dropping by to say I really appreciate the changelogs.

[duckman]

Anyone remember if there was ever someone working on stamina and pain for animals? Because I vaguely recall some discussion happening after stamina was implemented for the player, but it seems like that never actually got anywhere.
