Well, considering we are more or less the final bug catchers... He needs more players. After all, he can't take over the world test a game without alot of people.

And apart from a pill which causes one to turn into a super genious capable of figuring everything out instantly... Not all that much would speed up development in this case.

I hesitate to click the last spoiler tag because I expect there to be Elder Gods in it or something.

That 'pill' is known as an AI. Thats what he should be working on, an immortal incarnation of Toady's programming abilities.

An awesome Chrono Trigger reference.  One of the best points in the game in my opinion.

P.S. I belive Toady's computers are donations from players.  Or at least one of them is.  As for their specs, I have no clue.

If you really want to help.. he could use a 64-bit computer.

DF might or might not be compilable in 64-bit mode without too much trouble. BC certainly was. Problem is, he doesn't have a computer to do it on.
