The Bay 12 Games Report, September 1st, 2008
Mission Status (ThreeToe):
The adventurer, leveling up before the final battle, sent kobold after kobold by the grace of your contributions, fights for right and truth, growing stronger and more experienced after every kill. Soon he will strike out to make a true, novel stride into the future. A boat with neglected rigging will not sail, but with the wind of your support in the air, and all the stitches true, the ship will soon rocket into sunnier climes, with adventure on the horizon.
Programming Schedule (Toady One):
In September there are eight weekend days. This means I'll be doing Dwarf Fortress from the 1st through the 22nd and the month-end project from the 23rd to the 30th.
I was mostly focusing on smaller changes last month, so I'd like to get back to the
Future of the Fortress list this time around. We're leaning toward a balance between (1) military restructuring and (2) wholesome caves and other underground changes, but I might have to dip back into some of the other items first, because the elements related to randomization on the list might figure into getting the underground working properly.
I also received a computer from an anonymous contributor (I'm not sure if the anonymous contributor is anonymous or not, as I haven't yet asked, he he he), and I've managed to get two partitions booting up on it -- one for Windows XP and one for Ubuntu Linux. I've also received a Linux port of Kobold Quest from somebody (who will be credited when I figure out what attribution this person would like). There should be some movement there at some point this month, and I'll set aside time for that as I trickle over from one computer to the other.
Fun with Numbers:
Still going strong! Thanks to everybody that helped out this month.
