I may have missed this, and I'm sorry if I have, but...Might have to wait until Laws & Customs (~6 years).
Are you planning on working on Guilds and/or Societies relatively soon, now that you're trying to create reasons for people to form relationships?
Time to violence the entire world with style, then.Will we be able to play villains?Yes. Isn't that in the devblog already? Has been covered in fotf at least. You can give orders to your party members, which can be of the villanous kind. So essentially you can set up a bandit camp and play warlord.
If only. It's a clone of Chrome.Yandex Browser got a UI update. Neat, but it has a small refresh button. It's annoying.
Is that some sort of yandere simulator/pokemon crossover
How did she get involved with a Virtual Assistant?Somehow.
Can we not do that? Blatant and completely irrelevant ad hominems are against the rules.I don't have that syndrome.Unfortunately, GC is one of those people who only lose if their post is not the last one when the thread is inevitably locked.Unfortunately, it looks like he's not the only one.
not sure i'm convinced of that
Good worlds are boring for me (and many other people).Enjoyment. I would like to play in a dystopia, either as the oppressed or one of the oppressors. It's not like the "people" are alive. I'd like to see this somewhere around Economy since that is an additional framework for such things. We have plenty of spare development time either just before or just after the Economy arc. You seem to be not aware that the "Villains -> Magic -> Laws & Customs -> Starting Scenarios -> Boats & Moving Fortress Parts -> Economy" progression is not the entirety of the path to DF v1.0. And even after the full release, the game will keep being developed (like Minecraft).
I was basically asking why is it enjoyable? Also why does having spare development time mean it should be spent on bigotry rather than improving a whole range of existing mechanics.

I am willing to argue on fair terms, and I can accept defeat if I am faced with a convincing argument.
(GC just called me evil for wanting to create an oppressive world. How's that for arguing in good faith?)
I didn't call you evil, I was just asking what the motivation behind people's desire to be able to create bigoted worlds is, given that any resources spent adding such worlds into game needs to come out of other things? There is a price to pay as it were, but where does the value of the thing you are 'paying for' come from?
