I wouldn't mind if the night creatures still not implemented get postponed for a later release, to be honest.

Yep.

It seems like they can be added pretty much anytime so I would not mind them to be delayed and added to some other later release that would otherwise lack new enemies...

[freeformschooler]

...to be honest, when I heard books, I was thinking secrets of the living dead in an abstracted physical form, not actual written content from what the author knows  that is impressive.

Patience people, please, I don't like hearing Toady being encouraged to dump features just so a release can come a few days earlier.

Or at very least, a good heavy book is also a good weapon.

Two words.
Toilet paper.

[Mephansteras]

Cool, books are going in! As usual, I'm going to have to redo a bunch of the work I just did on my mod.

This update should be awesome.

Do you suggest then that we wait for DF 1.0, I suppose?

I am going to have to start to make suggestions about allowing parts to be given individual graphics for the sake of tilesets.

Haha, exactly my thoughts too; just didn't want to be a dick pointing it out.

Whoops.

Are you suggesting we shouldn't?

Thanks Toady. Its really awesome to have some back and forth with you and what's going on with the game. I love seeing the devlog too even when its just general 'working on X today' and not zombies getting suspicious and chasing off the necromancer that raised them.

I'd love to see constructed night creatures and the horrors players could put together but there is already a ton in this version so I guess I will be happy either way.

For the long term do you have any idea what kind of role writing will play in dwarf mode? Like writing books about whatever the dwarf wants like engravings (books about books about cheese) or where dwarves actually record information that gets used for something later on?

I imagine at the very least the book keeper will have a record of some kind. It would be useful for adventurers to look up info about stuff from the fort. For people who play with Legends Mode empty the book keeper's books could easily provide you with the arrival of dwarves, masterpiece, and artifact events. As for use in the fortress, I imagine maps, info on other settlements, and info on monsters could come in handy once the army arc is in place. There is potential for a lot of different things and more.

Do current interactions that are not forced have a chance of being done by the creature, will always be done by the creature, or something else entirely? For example, will a necromancer with an interaction fire breath choose between raising dead or breathing fire?

No, you suppose incorrectly. I'm just asking for patience. I could have requested some perspective, too, but that would be over-reaching.

You can relax. If toady adds books without first notifying the playerbase and if he still intends to add other features he's already flagged, it doesn't mean we won't have another release before the game is finished. Neither does it mean we shouldn't support him. Support is a good motivational tool.

You can't ask for perspective if you didn't have none when you thought I was asking for Toady to dump features. I was simply saying I would prefer he left those features for future releases.
