Also, some of the stuff he did before the list came around might not even be on it. In fact, I'm almost certain they aren't, because the list started out all-white.

[Muz]

Judging solely by the colours on The List, Toady is over half-way done. At least, more than half the entries are green. This isn't really considering the size of each entry, though.

It looks like the harder stuff are green, but I'm not a good judge of what stuff is hard to program and what is not. I'd assume the health care ones won't be too big a deal, just changing some behaviors, I suppose. I'm so looking forward to the next release. Wrinkles!

Just remember... coding is 10% writing and 90% debugging.  I imaging there's still a ton of work putting the game back into a playable state, even if all the pieces are all tested and working.

Debugging in anything that isn't glaringly obvious/lethal-to-computers on a basic runthrough is actually more our job description. I expect at least the first two months after this release will be bug-fixing.

[Zironic]

Toady usually tries to test and debug as he goes, if you read the devlogs. However, some interesting ones always sneak through. Like the sleeping dwarf sickness.

[KaelGotDwarves]

And carp.   

It still amuses me that Toady accidentally giving carp a default bite attack is what started all the carp horror stories and ended up making the game that much more fun.

Elves are just swingers,

More like that, yeah

When this tread doesn't get update for like one day my heart sinks a little and i know it won't be a good day

Chin up. It'll be better! They're doing that podcast soon, so maybe he's busy with that.

I'm hard of hearing and so I wouldn't get much of what they are saying on the podcast. Unless you managed to add captions.

So, Toady, could you make a way for hard of hearing/deaf players of DF be able to know what went on during the podcast? please?

[TheDJ17]

Speaking of the Podcast when will it be released.

Or a transcript or something, but yea you get the idea.

I believe when the area around where Toady lives stops being on fire.

Go to the podcast thread and suggest that, it's a reasonable thing to ask.

I had a dwarven hero try to kill a bronze colossus seven times, and each time he lost (including one time where he got boxed in the ear). After the third duel, he began worshipping his enemy, which is appropriate for these changes, I think.

from the latest devnotes..... so after fighting and losing 3 times, he starts worshipping his enemy.... then carries on to fight another four times? that's some dedication to a goal right there.

Urist McAxedorf has been sad lately, he was forced to attack his idol lately.

[Footkerchief]

^^^ Haha yeah, I was wondering about that too.  It's excellent to hear that megabeasts will make it through world gen now, though.

Kind of reminds me of the "Eleanor" mustangs from the Gone in 60 Seconds movies..   you can have respect for that thing which evades you.

Pretty cool.
