Why try to eat Marlin's when you could eat Merlin

Fresh with that wizardly zest!

[King Zultan]

Most people prefer the fresh wizard taste of Merlin, when compared to other name brand wizards.

Meanwhile, back on the archery topic...



This is gonna be interdasting. Consensus is still universally in favor of bows not working right, and now a dev's actually weighed in agreeing with that sentiment.

[Damiac]

You could try, you know, complaining about things that are true. I would not generally recommend assuming random_dragon is accurate in these sort of claims. (eta: it appears even random_dragon realized this)

Random dragon asked a question. I see you've been attending the Kevin school of public relations...
But yeah I have no idea why people don't want to deal with the dev nonsense of DDA, it truly is a mystery.

How is disease working in the newest versions? Even simple colds used to be a player-killer a year ago or so. It was frustrating to starve to death because I couldn't even stand up to prepare a meal.

Have they changed the severity of or contraction rate of the diseases recently?

I've certainly never died from a cold in game.

Infections remain poorly modelled, mainly because we seem to not giving any information on early infection and jumping right into severe sepsis

[EuchreJack]

Better modelling of infections would help.  Currently, the Infected start is mostly lethal since the infection has progressed to the point where the player should be hospitalized.  They should have probably figured out they were infected and needed to prioritize antibiotics a bit sooner.  Even if you spawn with antibiotics, you can still die at the stage set by the Infected start.

It's mostly that the player's too weak to wake up and take the next dose of antibiotics.  Dunno if Intravenous Therapy (IV) is in the game, but that is probably what a human would need at that state to survive.

Actually, that reminds me of one of my major complains about drugs in general: They're all one sized, when they should vary more in dosage.  Pain killers in general are fairly fleshed out, and alcohol is pretty decent, but the illegal substances could be better in this.  And as above, an IV of antibiotics and a shot of antibiotics are all different than a pill of antibiotics, in about that order of potency.

[Erk]

The illegal substances are basically stubs right now. There are some decent plans for what to do with them but nobody has had sufficient investment to work on them.

[Egan_BW]

cly all the devs need to get together for a month and take every illegal drug on a camping trip for research

[Erk]

I feel like that would not get us further towards anyone programming anything...

[Random_Dragon]

Meanwhile in Arcana...first steps toward mod_tileset work for Ultica:



The four essence types, of course.

[scriver]

The Four Elemental Pixels

[Egan_BW]

Everything changed when the red pixel blob nation attacked.

[Erk]

It's been a minute since the whole thing started, but UltiCa is now the default tileset. 0.F will be Fine.

[Egan_BW]

Damn Fine!
