Not like there's anyone behind toady pointing a gun to his head while he codes anyway.

why do you think i only type with one hand?

Although, I am not going to sign a petition for Toady asking/telling him to take a break.  I will sign a petition agreeing that Toady DESERVES a break and will not think less of him when he does...though I would be most grateful if it happens after this release and the immediately following bug-fix patches.

Why would Toady need a petition to do something he can decide on his own? Not like there's anyone behind toady pointing a gun to his head while he codes anyway.

Mrs Adams: Tarn(Zach? I think thats threetoe, right?), You finish Programming that game for the nice people, or no dinner for you!

Toady: But Mom!

Mrs. Adams: No buts Mister! Shoo!


Toady:Fine. *grumble*

He needed some bone for his fey mood.

This is version 41. It is crafted from human sweat. All coding is of the highest quality.

He'd better not go berserk or melancholy in the middle of this artifact-quality game. It's been over a year since he started construction...

There is an engraving of three dwarves in a dining room. The third dwarf is a soaper.

This'll probably be like BoiledPrinces, and PlanePacked combined, with all of the objects needed to build it on the other side of the 6x6 ( Regional tile ) map.

Anyways, a guy needs to fall unconscience after a one-year cluster.

Any idea when he'll release this? I've been assuming it'd be Christmas day, but....

Not that soon, no.  There's been basically continuous speculation in the List thread about when it'll be released.  Best estimates say early/mid January.

Ah, this thread reminds me of the good old days, this isn't the first time Toady has been asked to take a break by the community, you know. I think the last time was after the z-level update, but I can't seem to find the topic.

Yup, Toady deserves a break after this. After some bug fixing, that is, of course. Go enjoy the sun and the skiing weather after this update, Toady, you've earned it.

Well, his family used a modded version of Dwarf Companion (Cat Companion, that's called) to avoid it.


Anyway, I have to agree with Footkerchief and Dakk : not only will a lot of new bugs appear after this release, but Toady is also old enough to know if he need a break. Showing him he has our support if he want to do take some rest is great, forcing him to do so is not.

There is an image of a Fortress in human sweat. The fortress is Fun. This image relates to the creation of Version 41 by Tarn "Toady One" Adams, Codecrafter, in 2009 "The Briganded Eels"

It's description was a few pages longer than PlanePacked, and used somewhere around a hundred more materials to to make, anyways the let down was when it was way cheaper than PlanePacked, people who know of it call it the World Quern.
Mainly because the amount of historical engravings on it has outnumbers PlanePacked.
