Are convoluted victim profiles going to go in? For example, a serial killer who only targets former bosses?
I think he said we can form victim profiles ourselves.

There will be range of victim profiles in different categories. You could select fat men with dark hair, or tall, attractive blondes, and you'll be able to set how vigorously your character must adhere to them, so that various penalties and adverse effects will be placed on your character if you don't kill the victims that appeal to your character.

Former bosses, no. The purpose of days jobs will be solely to earn money. You won't form relationships with coworkers or bosses.

Every time I try to reply, there's four or five new posts. My hands are dying  :-[

Hey, it's cool. That's a marker of the buzz this is generating on another forum entirely, man. I wonder what it looks like on its home thread?

EDIT: So you select it at chargen, or can it develop naturally over time? For example, if your starting profile only includes Fat Men, but you start to attack Attractive Blondes, will the negative impact be permanent, or will you grow to enjoy attacking Attractive Blondes?

This thread alone has taken TheCrimsonKing from Escaped Lunatic to Bay Watcher. O_O

No, Toady doesn't believe in post count displays, which is why we don't have them. You're either escaped lunatic or Bay Watcher (I think EL is 1-5 posts, Bay Watcher is everything after that)

The only one I'm aware of is the devil one.

To add onto the character creation question, how will development of your character work? Will it be through practicing the skill you want to get better at? Which is risky considering some of the skills could be illegal.

Most skills will improve through practice. It'll be like Dwarf Fortress in that respect. But, again, almost everything I've discussed is planned and not implemented yet, and I don't know how long it will take after the first release to get the more advanced features I've discussed into the game. It could be months, years, I don't know.

This game is officially the evilest thing I've ever seen. No, not because of what you can do in it. Because I have to wait months or more for it, and that knowledge will stay with me for the rest of my life. Until its released. Anyway, I'd like to know, can you write notes or create symbols at the scene of the murder?



And can you uhh, release the buggy version now?

Well, the video alone looks pretty cool, so keep at it! We're all rooting for you, apparently.

Don't worry, bro, we're Dwarf Fortress players! We're used to this kind of stuff!
