So peterix was part of the Khazad project?

through DFhack (and apparently other things) he contributed to it yes, but seemingly in the end they took it too far. and impaler is just an ass.

Code? Creature tile? It is a bit vague, though since its consider a mistake to be release, I doubt we'll get much more then that.

I would like to point out that until May 23, 2010, Khazad was just a Visualizer, like many that are in development. it is only very recently that a decision was made to go from being a visualizer, to being a fully fledged game. I have been working somewhat on that code (if you can call adding an FPS indicator working on it), and from what I've seen, the only work Peterix has been doing on it since the code reboot that happened recently, was fixing some issues with the as-of-yet unfinished visualizer function, and as far as I know, has nothing to do with the clone.

[Adultratedhydra]

he really is shameless. was poking through his so called "planning list".

"
Defered concepts: Not nessary for initial release but could be added later

Skill gain by individuals
Proffession graphics for individuals
Individual pesonalities querks
Temperatures
Flowing liquids (water/lava)
Goverment/Nobles
Combat/Invasions
Quality levels of Items
Complex Geology/underground
Body systems for individuals
World map"

hes pretty brazen about the whole thing.

[MrWiggles]

Yea, there not even a noticeable twist.

[Mr. Accident]

There was also more badmouthing associated to #dfhack, and apparently they are digging through some symbols that I released on accident, which I consider unethical.  They can do it, legally, as far as I know, but if they want to gleefully capitalize on my mistakes they shouldn't expect my respect.

I was in #dfhack at the time that was going on -- I wasn't really paying a whole lot of attention, but my impression was that nothing malicious was happening; just some guys having fun poking through some interesting things. A bit like kids in a candy store. If there was any intent to "capitalize," it went right by me.

I don't recall any badmouthing, but maybe some happened when I wasn't there? I don't know.

Impaler's insults speak for themselves, but I don't claim them for peterix, and I have no reason to believe he insulted you guys or advocated starving me out the way Impaler did.

Yeah, I see now that Impaler was a jerk. I'm still hopefully plugging for peterix, though. I have my reasons! He doesn't know it yet, but I am carrying his dwarven babies. 

Seriously, though, this hurts for me because I've been working really hard lately on a nifty utility that uses DFHack. If I post that am I gonna get banned by association?

[Sabin Stargem]

It seems like there was potential in Khazad, if the screenshots I looked at are any indication.  Unfortunately, with Impaler being a bit too arrogant, it probably won't ever get integrated into Dwarf Fortress or become an companion mod.  Ego sucks when it gets out of hand.   

Still, I have to wonder if any of the other Khazad developers wanted to divert Toady's funding to themselves.  Was it solely Impaler trying to fulfill some vendetta using the project, or was it a group effort?  A fair question to ask considering how messed up this is.

judging by his posts on various forums and the list on the khazad thing its just him (corrected below)

peterix isn't involved in the clone.

[immibis]

Indeed. As previously stated all his contributions were from when it was just going to be a visualizer.

Once again, all I have to say is
