Hey, URR, you said you were in the UK. Anywhere near Exeter?

P.S. I have a couple of busy days and when I finally get some time on the forums, I find you've released!? Damnit!

[Ultima Ratio Regum]

Hm, well I downloaded it and made a soldier character. Then a dragon came and I poked it until it died (it didn't attack), then I left the map and the game crashed when I tried to leave the current chunk (By heading east, not via "t"ravel.). No error log.

Edit: Tried again, started a warrior and got mauled by wolves.

I notice even with skill level 30 in heavy weapon aim I still kept attack their legs even though I was aiming at their heads.

Oh, this time I *did* get an error message when I pressed "J" to quit.

Ah, the Dragon didn't attack? Bah. Were you standing right next to it? And could it reach you? Actually, #2 must be true; Dragons are taller than you, so if you could reach it, it could reach you. Hmm. Any more detail about its failure to attack? . That's because the skills aren't well implemented and are getting a major change for 0.2.0; and lastly, the bug you mention has been fixed!

Any plans on a forum soon? We could definitely use a place to discuss the game and such.

I've had another request or two about this, and I'll try and look into it soon. It'll definitely be around by 0.2.0, but after 0.1.3 I need to focus on my academic work for a bit while I get 0.2.0 off the ground.

Haha, apologies! I'm afraid not, I'm doing my doctorate in York and I'll be staying there until the end of that

Do you mean loading, or saving/loading chunks? And what do you mean by cannot proceed past? If you take 3/4/5 steps after a loading it crashes, and I know that one, and I've fixed it for 0.1.3 (this coming Monday).

[Ultima Ratio Regum]

Finally, version 0.1.3 released; a stable build with a lot of changes and bug-fixes in to keep things moving until 0.2.0 in a couple of months!

y'know, I think you'll have to write a tribute to us B12ers somewhere in the game, given the number of ideas and bug reporting we've done

See the acknowledgements page!

Volcanoes were still buggy, but FINALLY dealt with it. 0.1.3b tomorrow

[Ultima Ratio Regum]

0.1.3b released:

http://www.ultimaratioregum.co.uk/game/downloads/

Right, that's the final release for a while. I'm now working on combat and skill trees for 0.2.0, as I decided a skill tree system would be much more interesting, and much more balanced. It'll also allow me to put in choices for the player to make about prioritizing some areas over others rather than being able to just train any skill. Plus the original skills list was a little... long...

A little?

[Man of Paper]

As long as you don't Post-Morrowind the skill list (referencing The Elder Scrolls and the baleetion of a good 50-60% of the skills between Morrowind and Skyrim [not saying their skill list didn't need some clipping!]). I definitely trust you know what you're doing though.
This game being released, even in this barest of forms, has been one of my top highlights of this month so far (seeing Roger Waters perform The Wall is the only thing right now that I can think of that I was more amped for).
Even including the bugs that you've been stomping at an awesome pace, I find myself starting up URR before I realize what's going on.  As was previously stated, I can see this quickly becoming the game.

Also, you're awesome, and you should know that.

Finally got a chance to try it out last night. Looks great, good interface, played smooth. No crashes, but then I didn't get to do much. Mostly just walked around, picked up some random stuff (a wooden mace and an Amber? Halbard). Then got attacked by wolves.

Killed most of them, but died to the last one.

Fun! I'll have to try it some more. Although the random materials for items was a bit odd. How do you get an Amber Halbard?

Jurassic Park obviously. Which begs the question and/or suggestion. Can we have a secret volcanic island that would be home to dinosaurs on spawn. And perhaps neanderthals for a civ? Kind of like "The unclaimed new world" That would be a cool little adventure to have on a boat. Just saying. Then you could get amber-material weapons. Aww yeah.

[monk12]

I heartily endorse any and all Dino-biomes

[agertor]

Yeah, see Im not the only one who wants this lol. Of course itd be down the road, but something to think about.

[Man of Paper]

I don't recall if it was discussed, probably was knowing you guys, but I'd love to eventually have the opportunity to interact with tribal or civilizations similar to the Aztecs, Mongols, Native Americans and the like. They could have unique weapons and such, and of course their troops and customs would vary widely. It'd also add another interesting aspect if a base magic is introduced (I'm in favor of a magic system that remains mid(?)-fantasy, like alchemy and rituals and the like), especially with groups similar to the Central American tribes, centering it around a few high priests, sacrificial rituals, and neat junk like that. Of course, that'd be so far down the line (and unlikely to happen) that I feel silly mentioning it.
