This Genesis 4 is still alpha and seems to crash more often than Gen 3.xx; stability will depend on Toady fixing reportted crash bugs.

Toady's next release is very likely to be easy to integrate, changing raws it not that difficult. Worst case it's 2-3 hours work for Deon.
Expanding on the new stuff, well, that depends on how much Toady has hardcoded things and how much new options or tags in the raws.

Fans of Genesis, I have released OldGenesis .34.11b today. See the superlong Genesis thread, or my sig.

[Meph]

Deon is taking another break ?

Deon is taking another break ?

...

I am learning C# to write a roguelike based on Metro 2033 series, so I am not modding for a while, but it doesn't mean that I don't want people to play my mods .

It's gonna be a while yet, gentledwarves.

[Meph]

Thank you. Less a break and more being busy somewhere else then

[Gavakis]

Errmm... The Link broke.

[TomiTapio]

I message you Genesis fans (no not the band Genesis) with this: my variant OldGenesis .11c is out now.

[Deon]

The 4.1 version is out.

- Added dire wolves to cold regions. They are huge and ferocious predators, so beware.
- Added twilight cats to mountains. They are crepuscular gray mountain lions.
- The weapons have been tweaked. There're now short swords, broadswords, bastard swords and longswords which have different from vanilla attributes. There're also new hammers. "War hammer" is more of a hammer and less of an "iron beak" now, his old stats belong to a new weapon "crowbill".
- Armors have a "critical failure" chance, it means that even a plate mail can be penetrated by a dagger in a very rare case (it's approximately from 1 in 100 to 5 in 100 depending on armor or helmet type). It's there to reflex ability to hit weak spots and slits.
- Added fletcher's workshop. You can make bows and rocktip arrows/bolts there.
- Added potted plants (decorative workshop).
- Added alchemical workshop with transmutation reactions.
- Added anatomical theater, training crutch, scriptorium and library to train various skills.
- You can empty buckets which were "stuck" filled with water in kitchen now.
- Races get additional nobles.
- Nords can build tombs now. More noble types may be buried in tombs now.
- More info in the .xls manual.

To do:
- Next are plans to expand fantasy bestiary. I want to replace night creatures and bogeymen (as I've done before).
- Also a new smelting tree is ahead. Expect to see different metals with very specific uses (some hurt ghosts, some hurt werebeasts, some hurt undead, some hurt dragons etc.).
- Gems will be reworked. There will be less variety in gem types (a few different opals will be just "opals" etc), but there will appear magical gems and other things. I want to expand alchemy.
- Dragons will play a bigger part in the game. You will see what I mean once I'm done with it.
- A plains/desert race is about to come, a race of traders and tricksters, known for their carnivals, menageries and lies. They will be the ones who sell all types of animals, sulvans will be tranformed into a bit different race soon.

Enjoy and leave feedback please!

does this come in an ironhand tileset
plz pm

[Ebullient]

Sadly, no. You can always port it yourself, though.

Oh, and, welcome back Deon! Can we expect (somewhat) regular updates or are you still hampered by real life stuff?

This is pure ASCII for now, but once I make tiles for the new creatures, I will release Ironhand and Phoebus versions.

Sadly, no. You can always port it yourself, though.

Real life stuff doesn't disappear, but I will try to focus my free time on Genesis again, so you should expect updates pretty frequently .

[Meph]

The gem furniture from your royal carpenty will not be stockpiled, if I am not mistaken.   

[Deon]

I'll check it, thanks! If anything, I will make a replacement stone to fix it. I'm also almost done with graphical version. All those creatures, all those tiles... My head almost hurts . You know how it's hard to sort all graphical files in a proper order, copypasting and making new tiles on the go, Meph . I decided to make it harder, making graphical files to follow the raw file structure, so yeah...

[Sprin]

Deon I had a thought.
How about two orc races!
Feral orcs-seige
civil orcs-Trade goods
or something like that.
