Title: A general feeling for when 0.31.04 will be released?
Post by: Unshaven on April 23, 2010, 09:15:51 am
Like the title says do we have an idea of when this will come out?
It's just some of the more recent bugs have been a pretty big hindrance to the creation of my fort.

Still I am a big fan of the game and have great respect for toady's game making skills. I made sure to send 20 bucks his way when I got my raise yesterday. So any speculation on 0.31.04

Speaking seriously - I for one really don't know. There hasn't been an update in the dev log for almost a week. I hope all's well in Toadyville...

6:27am April 24 2010 forum time is my guess.  I say we go from the first announcement Toady makes on the forum.

Possibly the government abducted him to turn DF into a weapon. Who knows. He's probably just busy squashing swarms of inane bugs one by one while trying to learn the best way to utilize a new bug tracker and also he mentioned some stuff about working on the forums. Toady, if you read this, see how much we love you! We even worry about your personal safety after not hearing from you for a few days!

PS: If Toady has been kidnapped who is joining the rescue party? I have some guns but we will need more. And alcohol.

Ya I too noticed the lack of updates on the Dev log.. which is partially the reason for me making this post.
BTW I think It'll come out 12:43pm May 5th about a week and a half away from today. What am I basing this on.. nothing of course. LOL

I could only join if he has been abducted to Europe. Alcohol would be no problem though, we have lots of Legendary Brewers here.

Excellent, we should meet halfway.

Iceland even has a volcano! If you think about it right (Allow me to arbitrarily decide both of your starting locations), that's halfway.

I'll join if you give me time to stand in the barracks for a few months slowly becoming a legendary fighter and a Master of whatever weapon you give me.

(I'm a dabbling knife user, and I have some low quality wooden training weapons!)

The lack of bugfixes suggests to me that he's working on the merge. Mac and Linux players are still (largely) left out of things.

I put in a vote for "When Eyjafjallajökull's big brother erupts." That is likely to be in the next 6 months, if the past 2,000 years is any indicator.

A weaponized DF? What would that be: DF controlling robot behavior?

I can see it now, put beer-powered Dwarf-bots in terrorist infested town, have a DF player control the bots (complete with unintuitive interface, of course) from afar, and then have the player make the robots build a mega construction involving magma and water. Invariably, the end result would be burning terrorists and robots.

A weaponized DF would be an aggressively fun and violently immersive game. It swallows all troops with no regard for alliances, even entire countries.

Oh, wait, we have that already.
