47553, the best laid plans
Posted by Scarabaeus on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Just a quick note for anyone I've been interacting with in-game in some fashion, so you don't think you've been abandoned: hold tight for now, as middle of next week my time will free up again.
47555, Does this include those of us with goblin roles and descs chomping at the bit? :) n/t

47597, There was a staff decision to replace goblins with seasonal race: troll.

Oh yeah.
47602, goblins, etc.

I apologize to folks waiting on me for things. Time for research and analysis has been pretty demanding--and will be through the end of the year.

BUT, on the Goblin front: we've been able to do some playtesting of the basic functionality, Zulghinlour heroically added some code for mounting/dismounting wargs, etc., and we're getting much closer to completion.

On the non-Goblin front (and this is purposefully vague): there is some quest coding that presented itself as a prime opportunity to experiment with generic USE code for different item types, which I have wanted to see for a long time. (For example, if you wanted to burn away thick spiderwebs in a tunnel, you should be able to do that with ANY open-flame item and not just a specific torch.) We still have a ways to go on that, but that's something I'd like to develop more next year.

So, the long and the short of it is this: I'm still playing catch-up a bit, but we should see some fun new things relatively soon.
47604, I don't think anyone mind waiting for you or for Zulg. :)

We're just like kids the day before christmas. :P
47658, More or less. I will admit to being let down not to see goblins in time for October.

AND knowing that witch doctors/alchemists might be a thing sometime makes me wish that those things, and the shaman revamp, would be put front and center on the burner...

>Always shoot first and ask questions later.

Damn Christmas is rough in your house.
47659, Take y'all time...

Just don't let the complainers get you down as they will
inevitably voice their opinion at some point.
The bulk of us players are looking forward to what you and Z
have in the works..
