Eldiran posted:Please let me know what you guys think. This is great! You're good at introducing the mechanics so that the player has time to experiment with them and figure out exactly how they behave. In particular, the way the enemies and the crossbow reload function makes it clear that the game is not combat oriented (at least as far as I've gotten). I haven't finished it yet, but when I got to the chase sequence, I got really pumped up. The minimal music really adds to the atmosphere; it reminds me of Link's Awakening at times. My only complaint so far is that in the big room before the crossbow it was easy to miss the intended path. I spent a while luring the elephant bones to shoot the lever for me before giving up and exploring again.

I just finished Depths of Boatmurdered and it was amazing! I loved what you did with the shadow that followed you; especially when you kill it with the masher later. There were two parts where I was worried the game was going in bad directions, but thankfully that was not the case: escorting the kid, and the mashers in hell that you don't have to backtrack through with the jumpy boots. The latter made me smile.  Other feel good moments included killing the worm miniboss, outwitting the line-of-sight skeletons and purple archers, and killing the final boss of course. I think maybe crossbow spam was too good on the final boss. I could shoot out all the fire before it got to my platform. The game was very effective at making me feel without using words.I see on your website that you are working on another game. I can't wait!

I had a very helpful assistant while experimenting with necks: an unnamed elf who kept coming back to life when I took a nap. You can behead people by aiming a slashing attack at their neck. If successful, you should find a matching neck lying on the ground. Butchering the neck creates all of the usual head gibs, including upper spine nervous tissue. Did that used to happen?

Don't ask sleeping people about local troubles. The game crashes if it tries to give you a dialogue menu with no options.

Spanish Matlock posted:I just found an interesting bug. When you chop down a tree, if you've built a wall underneath it, it'll destroy the top of the wall without destroying the bottom. So you have a wall tile that's just "empty space" at the top. I believe this was patched in 0.40.04.

Nearly lost my fort to the tantrum spiral after elves killed my swordsdwarves. A migrant wave comes in, and while they freak out over the bodies a flying leech forgotten beast shows up. The new expedition leader kills it on sight, then succumbs to being punched in the head by a child throwing a tantrum. Everyone in the hospital starves. I've got two workers left, just churning out caskets and piling up the corpses. The outpost liaison said he hopes to see us next year. rear end in a top hat. Let's hope the new migrant wave doesn't reignite the tantrum spiral.

A troll stood outside of my cavern entrance. I didn't notice it because it wasn't moving or fighting. It just chilled while my dwarves went to plunder animalmen corpses. The dwarves didn't mind, either. Then it got aggressive, but fortunately it stepped on a cage trap.

Thanks. I was experimenting based on some cavern critters, and I couldn't get my new guys to show up in the arena, even though I removed the arena_restricted tag. Back to the drawing board, I guess.

Is there a way to prevent modded creatures from dropping gibs? It's weird to have Solid_lightman 43's solid_lightman upper arm lying around in the arena.

Toady One posted:infrequent enough that it shouldn't be a new cause of fort collapse Looking forward to unintended consequences on the needs system. A party of metalsmiths move to the desert, but won't work because they desperately want to see the ocean. The ghosts of infertile dwarves can't be put to rest until they have descendants. Resident vampire hoarding leather pants. The mayor uses diplomatic meetings with the elves to satisfy her need to argue. Actually, those last ones are pretty great.

Toady One posted:Toady One I finished up the various non-dwarf item code. The "foreign" weapon stockpiles are a bit odd now (shrinking as you add resident races), and mercenaries will mostly ignore you if you try to fiddle with their equipment in ways that would make them drop their owned equipment, but hopefully it works well enough for a first release pass. Diplomats will hang out in taverns for a bit after their official duties, and bandits will also occasionally arrive to relax as well. Diplomats and bandits are always welcome in my fort tavern, The Tap Trap of Blades.

Had a fey mood, and going through their thoughts I noticed I missed a god when putting up shrines. So I whipped up a quick shrine to the god of rain, and my dwarves decided this would be the perfect place for a statue of a blood man. I didn't even know those were a thing.

A giant mushroom destroyed my constructed floor, stranding my legendary miner in the first cavern. He was content to sit in the new well channel as it was flooding.  Later, I built a gem window out of two pieces of cut granite and one of cut chalk. If I'm reading the wiki correctly, the dwarves should be able to see through it, right?
