So, how many games in the final total for the game pack?

Hey Chef I have a question! I think I asked you this ages ago on Frankie's stream, but here goes again;
Have you made any plans to release the ToG pack at some point for those who didn't get them from the kickstarter? Some of the stuff I saw on the stream was really impressive and made me regret being too broke to get the ToG pack before the kickstarter ended :(

I think everything available during this Kickstarter (other than the game) is only going to be available for now.

Chef Boyardee posted:

The problem is that a lot of them are games that we contributed to but aren't officially ToG, like a lot of the GZStorm games. First, they don't belong to us. We have permission to include them in the ToG pack (and we keep getting permission to include more games we worked on, so we're constantly adding to it) but they aren't our property. The second is that some of these games (like Sewer Goblet) break copyrights and we can't sell them.

Bcause of this loving posts Amazon now sends me emails about such products as "Cradle to the Coffin The Fable of Dracula and Lulu" or "Senpai: The Tale of the Gallant Dandelion - Book 1".

Thanks. :sigh:

I could also see how this would leave room for exploitation once people figured out how to manipulate the seed.
Why worry about that? As long as it's not an online multiplayer game, I see no reason why we should restrict people from cheating. If people figure out a way to manipulate seeds to create some sort of ridiculous supergun that fires giant missile's that kill everyone on the screen, why restrict them? If someone cheats in a game, they make a conscious decision to break the game for themselves. Why stop their fun?

Another method would be to make the gun's stats and such based on the seed, while the price is based off its stats in some sort of formula so people still need to pay an appropriate amount for their "max stats in every category" supergun.

I can't see gun's's'haring being that interesting, really. It'll just make loot less interesting since you can just have someone toss you a good gun's code.

They could always just be a mod for your gun's based on the other player's gun's. Or you could fuse them together to make a new gun's like Kid Icarus.

I'd imagine that it'd be balanced in such a way that redeeming a good gun's code would be really expensive.

Perhaps there could be a "combat sim" feature where you could punch in gun's codes and play around with them.

Here's an idea for gun's-sharing: If straight up sharing with other players can't be implemented, make some subforum on DwarfNET where some of the NPC posters post guns you can use, and the selection improves based on story progression or something.

With the caveat that all of the guns turn out to be incredibly lovely and useless in their own unique, special ways.

This idea is actually really awesome.
Also make it impossible to copypaste the codes from dwarfnet so you have to write them down on paper

So I guess mono has a learning curve.
The biggest risk, in case you didn't know this already, is that if you don't be kind to yourself you could have it for a long, long time. I have a bad habit of overworking myself when I get interested in something, so when the doctor said I had mono during my sophomore year of college, I didn't really take it seriously and kept working at stuff. I figured I felt better a month later, no problem.

That next year I did absolutely awful at school (for me, I didn't risk dropping out or anything), and by the time I came home for the summer I was kind of walking around like a zombie half the time. My father immediately knew something serious was wrong and told me to go to the doctor's, who promptly told me I still had the same case of mono from 13 months earlier.

So yeah regarding learning curve, this is what I learned: Mono will kick your loving rear end.

All the digital rewards are ready and done, we ran into a stupid server issue and we're testing some DNS stuff to make sure it will be able to handle a billion GB worth of downloads in the next few days. We want to do it very soon, like tomorrow or the next day, but we just need to make sure the server and script is ready.
