Adventurer Skills Not in Next Release???
« on: May 29, 2009, 04:21:35 am »
I noticed adventurer skills aren't on 'The List'!! Is this an oversight on my part, Toady's part, or are they just not in it at all??? Please tell me they are still going to be added!

It's probably in the release after that. There's no oversights, its probably just that there's an obscene amount of work to be done on Fortress mode and Adventurer skills got put back

Oh well, we can't blame toady, he's working hard. Just wish time would pass faster.

I wonder if toady should be dedicating his time to programming a ToA.I.dy. Then no matter what, someone is programming DF.

That is a bad idea. Toady's A.I. would reprogram then entire internet to be Dwarf Fortress. Then all of reality... And then drown us all in magma.

No, WE would drown us all in magma.

What are you referring to here? I don't believe magic was ever intended to be done in anything resembling the near future.

I know, but I was hoping for maybe a mention  of what it might entail. I'm curious, what with toady's awesome mix of realism and fantasy.

It would take Toady so long to program it, that it would have to finish programming itself. It might still be in progress at the end of civilization.

Adventurer skills are up on dev_next but aren't currently being worked on.  For the release after the upcoming one, maybe.

Here's what he's said on the forums.  If you're as curious as you say, you'll find some interesting tidbits.

Armok 1 notes on magic and the supernatural.  Some of those ideas are doubtless still relevant.

And of course, there's discussion of magic in the dev notes, and you can probably infer some possibilities from ThreeToe's stories as well.

I wonder if, when adventurer construction is added, you'd be able to build an ice fortress in the desert.
