Also because doing anything that involves a user interface is almost always a pain in the ass to code. :P

Yep.

In other news , just nerfed Niten Ichi-Ryu so hopefully folks won't explode zeds with their bokken anymore, and have a PR in the pipe to make minefields marked.  (Zeds can't read.)

Thing is that the PC *doesn't know* how widespread the Cataclysm was.  You'll eventually find out that it's knocked out the whole eastern seaboard (Washington DC is likely overrun, though we don't expressly say that anywhere) but there's nothing on the global effects.

(We operate on the presumption that everywhere at least took the first hit, but they may have done better or worse than the US did in the New England region.)

Most of the US military was deployed to Korea at the time as that was getting awful close to a shooting war.  It's safe to assume any zombie soldiers you see are National Guard, and the tank drones are about it for heavy armor.  Abramses and such are Elsewhere.

Air power, sure, but with global infrastructure not happening where's the fuel going to come from?

OK, what's the story on this Planetfall thing?  Free someplace not DRM'd?

Hmmm, maybe I will try with a combination of molotovs and dynamite (by the way, does dynamite explode instantly if you throw it towards a tile with fire?)

Dynamite should cook off fairly instantly in a fire: if it doesn't, that's a bug.  C4 might not.

There's someone on the radio telling people to head west, is there really gonna be something if I go there?

Only by coincidence.

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDjamjFb7Muqy9sp51LnvIoYqnKgSt0kJ been talking through the updates the past few weeks.

Lemme know if you actually want to hash out the interview schedule--I may get busier in the next few months.

Tried to check on this via the DDA forums, never heard back.

w00t!  Liked what I saw when I tried the last version.

Thanks! If the version you meant was beta 6.5, then you'll find quite a lot of improvements in bleeding edge.

Yeah, was the last time you posted a new version.

Unfortunately, I've hit a few errors (got the popup bug-reporter) in this one:
1) Can't configure prayer (seemed as good a place as any to get some insight into how the system works)
2) After retreating to level 0 and back once or twice, made it to the Next Level downstair (first time ever!), took it, and ended up in solid rock.

You seem to use your Git issues for an internal TODO so I didn't want to unilaterally post there.

Sorry for the bad news, though I appreciate the concept and look forward to actually making forward progress in the game.

Curses / Re: LCS Leader's Heart Stat

I typically don't bother with seducing, since I'd have to have my main character sleep around to get it to be any good.
(snip-KA101)
It's all about how you prefer to play, really.

Second sentence kinda salvages the first; conversely, I've never been able to justify/RP having my recruits sleep around/prostitute if my leader isn't doing (or at least honestly attempting to do) the same.  Sexual revolution, like all others, is led from the front, dammit!  ;-)

Hmm. So what kind of z-leve support are people looking for, exactly? The same kinda thing you have in DF, or something more complicated?

DF would probably work; I've never played it though so can't guarantee.  Here's the Git listing.

It's still not a rocket.

 >:(

Ed: Though, takeoff assist rockets would probably go in the same modpack.

No z-level support, so yeah, vertical rockets are unlikely.

Yeah, we do need rocket boosters though.  X-D

So much stuff was lost :(
If you have a shovel after it burns out you may be able to go digging through the rubble and retrieve some of the less combustible goodies.  Will definitely need a shovel though, I've noticed you can't get items out of wreckage and rubble anymore unless you use a shovel to unbury it first now.

Oh, so that's why dead zombies disappeared on rubble tiles when I killed them. Lost some potentially nice survivor stuff to that. Maybe things that are dropped onto existing rubble tiles should not be swallowed up by them?

Easier said than done, IIRC.  It's come up before.

Does the UNARMED_WEAPON flag in the item browser mean it doesn't interfere with Unarmed martial arts, or just that it goes off unarmed skill?

Should be compliant with any MA/tech that's unarmed_allowed.  There are lots of stories of boxers/KM users with a punch dagger.

Probably an issue with Robust Genetics/lack thereof and bad/good traits not getting chosen.  Or could be a bug, there've been a few.  Throw up the save and I'll take a look.
Any idea what was causing the problem? I've been looking at the game code and I'm curious.


I'm thinking of either streaming Cataclysm or making a let's play to show off the game to some friends who are really into survival games but aren't trying the game because of the way it looks. Wondering if anyone here would be interested once it goes up, if so I'll probably put some more effort into it and make it decent.

Just grabbed it, been a bit busy.  Will update.

Update: Um.  Are you sure that's the right file?  I opened your @ screen and it shows you as having Ursine Muzzle and Hibernation.  Frankly, it looks like you're pretty Bear'd out there.
