Hey, just wondering, do human civilizations and eras really even exist yet?

The downloads page lists everything in place; history and civilizations will start to appear in 1.0.x around the beginning of next year :).

The world won't end in 2012, that's just when world gen stops and some hero is going to start adventuring around the world.

Some random NPC in Dwarf Fortress, I think.

True story. OR IS IT?! Mini-update: enjoyed a day of adding awesome but pointless feature-bloat today. I think everyone will really like it, but I'm not going to say what it is pre-0.2.0. In the mean time, this coming Monday's blog will still be on all the skill trees. I've also finally separated world generation and character generation!

Four skill trees! I've taken (I hope) the advice on-board, and there have been some changes to some of the trees - I think each of the four directions now offer interesting decisions in themselves, though I am still undecided about how special attack requirements work out. Feedback would be awesome:

EDIT: updated skill tree graphics.

Skill trees look balanced and make sense, what with the knockback bonus for heavy weapons and the dismounting bonus for long weapons. But I'm wondering - will all weapons basically start out the same and only differ where the tree differs, or will certain weapon types have higher/lower stats, like, maces have higher damage but lower accuracy.

Also, I'm wondering how character stat progression is going to work. Will it be procedural and go up as you use the skills (like DF) or will you be raising whatever stats you deem fit once you gain enough points?

This seems interesting. I ran around, stabbed a cyclops to death, picked up a tempered steel stiletto, and crashed the game by attacking another cyclops.

Cool - no, each class of weapon has a different emphasis (or rather, will come 0.2.0) and each weapon in a class (e.g. swords/scimitars for slashing weapons) will be slightly different too. I know how slashing/heavy/long weapons will work, and I'm just working on balancing out short weapons atm. The progression was of that form previously, but now you will collect XP from various things and you can then invest them wherever you want.

NO! luck shall not play a part! you shall, I pay you to be utterly overworked and underslept!

I don't pay you money, but I do pay you respect!

:P

Haha; I am already overworked (though I try not to become underslept) but November is likely. I should have most of the skills stuff done by the end of this month, though... if we're lucky.
