Just fired this up again today.  I am glad to see some new skills as well as some new items.  Also glad to see that the aim skill is fixed!

I took a little summer break, but we've got another patch with some nice overland improvements coming up this weekend.

Amazing!  I won't get too far in this game then, if you're going to be releasing a new version.

Forgive me if it has been asked already, but at some point do you plan on utilizing what we Dwarf Fortress players refer to as "Z-levels" to create 3d, or multi-level maps?

Well, the engine supports it; the world is fully connected in 3d, but doesn't have connections, like hillsides, that flow smoothly up and down. It could be done if I thought it would really improve gameplay, but I think it'd probably just make the interface quite a bit more complex without a whole lot of real gain.

[Carrion]

Fair enough.  It would probably be a lot of work as well.

Personally, I think that it would add a fair amount to the overland exploration as well as possibly being tactically useful during combat.  I often am wishing that I could climb the walls when fleeing from enemies, or trying to ambush them.  Even if it only meant that there is ground level (like what you have in place now) and an upper "cliff" level.  I like that you've kept the interface simple so that the other aspects can be developed and I agree that adding any other map levels would make the interface more convoluted, or complex.  I personally don't have a problem with that.  I think if nothing else, the added complexity could make it more rewarding, in some sense. 

Obviously, these are just my opinions and thoughts.  Make of them what you will.

Awesome an update!  Thank you for your continued work!!

[Carrion]

I second that.  Thanks unormal, I really look forward to biting into this one.

[enigma74]

What a sweet update!  Time to dive back in, haven't played in a few months.

[Mephansteras]

Nice. I'll have to check it out tonight.

[Ahra]

huh i havent played this for an reaally long time, guess its time to try to acctually surrvive golgotha again.

[hachnslay]

Ok, downloaded it a few minutes ago and going to play in a bit. It probably is in setup(8).exe, since that is the latest ...
Maybe you should consider changing the executable name for the installer.

Then again, the .exe is only a compressed container for the .msi ...


Also got my first CoQ error - i did install it over an older version, though. Deleting all but my keymap and installing again solved the problem.

Code: [Select]

RunSegment:System.NullReferenceException: Der Objektverweis wurde nicht auf eine Objektinstanz festgelegt.

   bei XRL.World.GameObjectFactory.LoadBlueprints(Boolean bInherit, Boolean bCallLoadBlueprint)
   bei XRL.Core.XRLCore.Start()
   bei XRL.EntryPoint.Main(String[] args)
Edit: you sure added a lot of stuff to the game, like looking at a green f making you 'lovesick' ... next time i won't try to find out why they don't want to trade with me.

For some reason that made me laugh ^^

Also, would it be possible to see a timeline of what's going to be implemented?
