I've heard that the character data will be saved online somehow and not on your own computer, does anyone know if that is true? If yes, I guess it would stop inventory hacking, but damn I'd hate to connect online every time I wanted to play :/

[Max White]

For the entire world? Red must be high! A large world is half a gig, I don't want to download that every time I play.

I mean I don't know how the rest of the world is, but in Australia you just can't get non-capped internet plans. If I need to download half a gig to play, and then upload half a gig to save, then is going to eat more of my internet then I can afford. Even steam isn't going to turn me off, but this very well might just do it.

Character data and world data is not the same thing, so you're overreacting a bit..

Although you can exploit world saves just as easily, so I'm sure they'll have to do something to stop that.

Sorry, don't know why I read that wrong, but your right.
Regardless, red and blue and wandering into the realms on insanity once they start doing something like this. If I had to stab in the dark, it is because they want to update the game, and allow you to keep your character, so they keep everything on-line where they can update the save files themselves.

Hell, I know redigit isn't a very good programmer, but he can't figure out file versioning in he's context class? I'll give him a free lesson if he fails that baldly!

[Cthulhu]

Maybe it'll upload a hash (Almost positive that's not the right word.  Checksum?  No idea) to the server and use that to make sure the world hasn't been tampered with by comparing the save to the thing on the internet.

I don't know though, I may as well have said maybe they'll use quantum reflex aggregation.

I honestly dont remember where I read that, it might even be a fabrication of my tired mind for all I know, hence I asked "does anyone know if that is true?"

 I understand you mean this in jest, but you keep saying stuff to the extent of "Man, if you are THAT terrible then may as well stop" you come off as a gigantic douche.

 Now say, theoretically if one were to get the leaked game and play it, how would they access your multiplayer shenanigans? Is everyone just rocking the Hamachi?

[Hugehead]

Is everyone just rocking the Hamachi?

Rockin' it hard!

[Frumple]

From what I understand, most folks are rockin' the hamachi. I think some have managed to just go about using the program's native stuff, but I haven't exactly been paying attention to the MP portion, yet. Mostly just all the delightful news that's streaming in due to events, heh.

Oh, I never said he should stop, just that I would give him a free lesson, and I would! And honestly, I don't think there was a single OOP pattern in the source given out, so safe to say he hasn't been to school on the subject.

Also, rock'n.

[Frumple]

Yeah, Redigit's openly said he's not done much in the form of formal schooling in programming, etc. A few tries at it early on, but found it not really a match for him and went on his merry way. I'm not entirely sure if he even has an AA, much less bachelors or higher (or whatever other-place equivalents are, hum...), at least not in comp-sci stuff.

[Max White]

Andrew (Redigit) Spinks is an avid gamer who has always aspired to create his own game, and eventually his own game studio. To that end, he began by teaching himself how to code. First with Visual Basic, and then onto the much more powerful C#. He decided it was time to have a crack at making the game of his dreams, and here it is!

Self taught, no degrees.

EDIT: You know how in DF you sometimes get like 8 ambushes at once? Why did I just got the goblins from the east message three times?
EDIT 2: Ok, now that they have been cleaned up, let's check for loot... And nothing but spike balls! Ah well. One day rocket boots.

[Haspen]

They gave me few nice gems and harpooniter too.

Also, let's brave the Sea of Boundaries, yarr- what the hell?

Spoiler: Why always the weirdest places? (click to show/hide)

[Max White]

I had one crash into the dungeon ceiling. Made fighting skeletor interesting... Still, it upped the challenge when I was hitting more then he was.

Also, what is the harpooniter?

EDIT: Also, purple and green swords? Descriptions, names, and locations?

[ggamer]

fuck, is this game already out?

is it on steam?
