Even if you don't like Pbat's style, I'd suggest watching Part 23 of his Let's Play.

He's got Blue on as a special guest doing a good bit of Q&A.

Read this as: In the latest video, PBat cheats and gets a bunch of items I don't remember him picking up. :')

I'm fairly certain XNA is pretty modular, by the way, so modding (or adding of items etc by the devs) shouldn't be too hard with hacking.

Yeah, that was something Blue mentioned in P's latest LP: The dev team is actually expecting folks to go in and hack around, add mods and stuff, and at least sound like they're not going to overtly try to stop that sort of thing, but there's no current support and future support'll probably be limited to client-side reskinning, at least at first. Seems fairly realistic expectations from their side.

Adding of items by the devs, specifically, is definitely planned. They've got crazy ambitions of still being in the process of releasing content 5-10 years from now :P
I believe the specific intent, paraphrased, was, "We'll keep adding junk as long as the community still wants it." Bold words, heh, but perhaps heartening.

In other news, the horseshoe looked like a really subtle, really vicious diss on P. I was somewhat amused :P

Well, he did take triple-digit fall damage twice in that video.

Anyone else thinking we need a brand new thread for this game when it's out?

Blue: "If you use Dungeon blocks to build under ground, you will actually create a dungeon. If you use them above ground, they're coded not to spawn monsters."

Playgrounds, danger rooms and monster item farms. Love. It.

Blue: "One of the things me and PBat were talking about is it would be cool if there was a dwarf race that was shorter, that wouldn't have to dig that 3rd block out."

Tee hee.

Blue: (Paraphrasing) "We don't believe in people crafting books, so all books are found on shelves in the dungeon." "Carrying around a blue candle will attract more monsters to you."

"Carrying around a blue candle will attract more monsters to you."

And then PBat immediately picks up a candle.

That is interesting, does "dungeon blocks" include the normal rock you dig out?  Does this mean making a basement in my house/mansion/fortress is a bad idea?
