¨jimkehn said:, for example to figure out the instructions to dig a tunnel were wrong in the tutorial. I have that much figured out, but simple things like instructing someone to haul stones or go fishing??? I know there is a way, but.....
if it's any help, as a <s>graphics whore</s> ascii-challenged person, i'd be willing to donate at the very least five sixths of a whole dozen of our fine and superior european currency to the cause.Mayday said:ETA- very long and possible to not even happen. I'll keep you guys up to date.Joe Krow said:I'm excited to hear about the sprite packs. I have been wanting to give this game a shot. Any ETA? Need a beta tester?
MessiahMan said:Yeesh, what a game. I'm afraid of fortress mode at the moment because in adventure mode, I can't even find the entrance to a cave to beat the first quest I was given. I must've wandered around the area for two hours now, no little circley thing. I had fun attacking a little kid with my last character. As I expected, though, the town gangbanged me, sprained my ankles, broke my brain with a spear, and generally skewered the crap out of me before I finally died from blood loss.
I will persevere, though. The entrance to that cave has to be SOMEWHERE relatively close...but I'll probably die of starvation (in game, I mean) before I find it.
Core50, TILESET SUPPORT, (Future): Allow graphical tiles to be used for all game objects.
Core51, SIZEABLE GAME WINDOW, (Future): Allow the resizing of the game windows, and possibly the support of variable width fonts to allow more text to be displayed.
Core52, INTERFACE OVERHAUL, (Future): A coherent interface, additional options and mouse support.
JarlFrank said:You have to look at your quest journal [press Q] and then zoom in on the area that the cave is in. If you're in that area, a block of blue o's will appear, and inside this block somewhere is the cave entrance. It's something like an "X marks the spot", still requires some searching but you'll find the cave entrance this way.
