Wait a minute. "God guards"?

Does this refers to the adventure mode overhall where new entities can take over civilizations (or like a vampire/demon posing as a god and taking over a kingdom)?

Or is this something else?

In the FoF thread he mentioned that he added heaven. Well, heavens--Olympus and Elysium kinds of places up in the sky.

Oooooooo. Like Scamtank said, this was a proof of concept from a long while back, and it looks just as good as everyone thought it would. Given that there's a precedent of folding in display stuff (the SDL code) back into actual DF, maybe this will find its way out of DFHack and into DFACTUAL.

Oh look, I'm Bad Munki, hey the new version of Dwarf Fortress was released! Ohhh, just kidding, bitches!!! LOLSASAURUS just a devlog!!!

Devlog posted:

The truck is still trucking... I should keep doing this dev log thing though. So yeah, what did I play with... pets vs. fort retirement, alarmed bystander tests, all sorts of brokenness with how guards are allocated and shuffled around during site (un)realization, more date checking and am-I-outmoded checking for rumors (though some of them still seem to linger), and a whole ton of data entry for gait stuff. We continue to be on track.

Why is Scamtank always insulting us?

Also, devlog you miserable worms:

quote:

It was an army truck for the last while, and a food truck today. Just about everything that could go wrong with invasions in dwarf mode did, but I think it is sorted out now. Even the grizzly bears the elves ride come from actual populations now, so make every axe-chop and drowning count and you won't have to deal with that particular site's denizens for a good long while. I put in hopefully-good-enough init file caps for the burgeoning number of seeds, with some periodic handling, and I think I sorted out all of the mess that was happening with brewing jobs (which weren't working, or were producing non-specific seeds, or whatever else). I'm going to do some overdue optimizations tomorrow, and then we'll be titrating in some final bug fixes until the release suddenly appears.

There is apparently a less coherent and perhaps more morally bankrupt (I don't remember) recording of after-interview sound from the Red Pages Podcast (Extrasode 2).

Michaellaneous posted:

Restarting over and over does not sound really fun, nor like a succession.

That's because you're thinking it's fortress mode but instead of one year with an overseer you get one life with an adventurer or some other arbitrary thing.

The best way a 2014 DF LP could go is if each successive player got 7 days of real time to do whatever the hell they wanted in the shared world. If they want to create a series of forts to make the Great Wall of Dwarfdom, then that's fine. If they want to found a fort and play classic overseer, that's fine, and if they want to reclaim a previous player's fort, that's fine.

And if they want to spend their week adventuring and dying to sponges over and over again, I bet that would make a good turn, too.

And the added benefit is that if the turns are in real time instead of dwarf time, then we don't run into the plague of all DF LPs: turns that consist of weeks of nothing but posts by the current player apologizing for not having the time to finish their turn.

Oh, you're going to do that, too? How many is that, like seven .40 DF LPs at once?

Mine will be the best. It'll feature Grey Hunter and Bad Munki taking alternate turns to reenact the entire first three seasons of DF Gladiator Challenge thread...
