Wait for the next release. I want usable mugs damn it!

We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

I'll take .34.11 thanks. I want to know I'll get to kill things for sure.

Your girlfriend is... pretty stunningly inconsiderate, if that's the case O_o

I'm going to hold off on any major playtesting until .04, seeing as how any balancing I do will be thrown out the window once weapons work properly again.

It's fine, she's fine, she's promised to never forget that again.
So what vanilla things'll end up being edited to balance combat? Creatures or weapons? ((Or both '^^))

[Splint]

Most likely creatures. Granted if we do want to still include those custom weapons (the native railgun's a must I will say at a minimum; gonna need something able to drop anything with one shot,) we may need to fiddle with them if anything's been changed.

I don't mean to intrude upon this thread, but I think I need some advice on how to actually read this thread. From what I can gather from the somewhat intimidating OP, little glances at the PDF (I'm not sure how up-to-date it is), and posts that I have read, understanding this thread requires having read Boatmurdered, Headshoots, and Syrupleaf. The story also seems to heavily rely on supplemental material (an entire novelette's wort, at that), which makes it an even greater mess to tackle.

Supplemental material in Vanya's story helps but isn't needed, but OVerseer updates have been slowly but surely lost track of. The wiki not being up to date doesn't help either.

I started reading after the actual game ended as well, and have never read Boatmurdered, Headshoots, OR Syrupleaf. I started on page 1 of the thread and read every post to the end. It took me a couple months... ' I don't know if anyone has the patience to replicate that, but the thread makes... well not sense, cause that would be... Sensible... Anyways, I know what's going on. It was well worth the time.

I read every post until I reached the end, which was at that time around 500 pages. I only read the overseer updates, not any of the stories.

Yeah... much as I hate saying it, all of Vanya's stuff is pretty much unnecessary.

and sorry about the second post. I know I need to update that... but no, you don't have to read all the "prequels" to really get a good idea of what's going on. You can skim between most of the overseer updates, too.

[TheFlame52]

I did read all the prequels, though.

[Aseaheru]

I just read the main story untill i got in and I am fine. Ish.

[Splint]

and sorry about the second post. I know I need to update that...

I have learned from past mistakes in that regard. It's why my little story projects have a bunch of reserved posts now and why SBII will have them as well: So I don't have to burden any of you guys with maintenance of the updates, community contributions, keep track of casualties easier...

I'm kinda considering writing a song about Softa, albeit adapted from the lyrics of an existing song I really enjoy. Thoughts?

[Reudh]

Softa's Song (adapted from and to the tune of "From Off to On" by The Knife)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

We can not wait much longer
We want happiness back
We want control of our bodies
Everything we've lacked

I think I even liked it
If the feeling was mine
A little something about my body
Is it the warmth inside?

When we come home, we want it quiet and calm
We want you to sing us a song
When we come home, we want our friends around
Making sure that the mugs are full

If you come a little closer
I'll tell you what's my plan
It's every evening with Spearbreakers
Seeing Fischer and Splint

I had a dream about living and killing
Is it the feeling of having my old body...
Or is it the feeling of spawn?

When we come home, we want it quiet and calm
We want you to sing us a song
When we come home, we want our friends around
Making sure that the mugs are full

From dwarf to spawn (x8)

It's a real rushed piece, but I listened to this song and felt like the odd double-vocals and the crooning in the song fit Softa well.
