Damn.  I'm just off visiting my family right now.

Currently one river indoors and one river outside.  There are floods and some weather effects.  You can dig channels and make aqueducts and floodgates operated by levers or pressure plates.  No dams currently.

I should be back on task on January 2nd, although during the last six months of grad school things could get hectic of course.

You going to make your dissertation public?  In theory I'll be able to understand some of it!    :p

That's what I've written up so far.

Dude, it's called Christmas. I hope everyone that was out of there hole enough to notice it had a nice one. That is all.

Rofl. The funny part about that is that I -didn't- realise it was Christmas, the day it was.  :p Slept till like 1:00, and everyone was annoyed with me.

1034...  not exactly fast or anything, but I managed to do a little work over the break.

[Toady One]

1022...

Toady, what will you do if the dwarven fortress game becomes as well known as some of the rogue likes out there such as ADOM or Angband?

i'm curious as to your hopes for what this project may achive in the way of recognition in such communities.

[Toady One]

What do you mean?  I'll do the same things I've been doing, I guess.  I imagine it will play all right with some of those people.

Two months after releasing Dwarf Fortress, Toady One will be dead of carbon-monoxide poisoning in Johannesburg, a suicide at 33. His red pickup truck will be parked near a small river where he used to play as a child; a green garden hose attached to the vehicle's exhaust funneling the fumes inside. "I'm really, really sorry," he'll explain in a note left on the passenger seat beneath a knapsack. "The pain of life overrides the joy to the point that joy does not exist."

998.  But since I have a little over 6 years to finish now, according to my obituary, I can sit back and do one every couple of days.  The living's easy...

[Toady One]

986...

[Demon]

At that rate you'll be finished on April fools day.

[Toady One]

973.  It will probably take longer.  The end always takes longer.

And here I was under the impression that this was a minor side project like WWI medic...   :roll:

This does sound like a kickass game though, I can't wait!
