Now I just want to double check, but what he mentioned a few days ago, did he say he was planning to update the new version weekly as he fixed the bugs?

Because I'm currently wonder if we'll see the 40d# merge in an update soon as in after it's complete within a later release.

If you look at past major releases, such as 40a and 39a, the series of quick-fix releases that follow them are often spaced only a day or two apart.  So it might be more frequently than weekly, briefly.

I can't tell quite what you mean about the 40d# merge, but the plan is to release the merged version as soon as it's done.  If you're worried that the merged version will be delayed until the next major release (with sieges or adventurer stuff or whatever), that won't happen.

I just hope the merge fixes the broken Adventure mode from the 40D## series,  you can benefit from the speed-modes in Adventure mode... plus I wanna explore Giant underground caverns SOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad.

That is what the merge is about. Toady needs to fix these parts of his code that caused bugs in 40dX versions.
Most notably broken adventure mode, and screen jumping to wrong places when linking levers to stuff.

He also needs to work with Baugn to update the code as necessary to deal with the new features; the d# are written against the 40d version; whereas DF2010 has new stuff in it, etc.

Once this merge is done, it should be smooth sailing from then on; the differences will be minor, if any.

DF in a week-ish made this Friday even better than most!

[Lost Requiem]

One week...

What are the chances the release date will fall on my birthday? Right now it seems very likely.

[bombcar]

It's now one week till DF army ...

but it'll still be two days till we find the save key ...


too lazy to do the rest.

To quote another game with a long dev cycle:

"Hell, it's about time."

[tigrex]

After all this time, it's finally about to happen.  Time to barricade myself inside again.

The four dwarfsmen of the dwarfocalypse are...hmm
Magma
Clown
Tantrum Spiral
Death
Siege

Hmm...that's more than four.  Maybe there should be seven, as is traditional for dwarfs.  Also, better name than "dwarfsmen"  may be possible, but I couldn't think of a good steed.  suggestions?

The last two are Parties and Catsplosions.

[Sir Finkus]

So when's the release party?

[Sean Mirrsen]

Right now! Party till the release, there won't be time afterwards!

I'm sure SOMEONE has made this joke by now, but the carp-rider comment made me remember I wanted to make this:

[Sphalerite]

You will be able to milk everything, even without the milkable tag.  It just produces _milk.

The _milk will then boil at zero degrees, instantly freezing the dwarf and the animal to death.

one week? International Choclate Egg Day, April fools day and the long awaited DF2010 all in one week? And it's some guys birthday too? DF2010 Launch party in my house!!!
