Brace for the bugs!!! Incoming!
« on: January 30, 2012, 06:09:01 pm »
It starts with a faint noise, then a rumble, like a coming storm or a thousand-horses strong Tatar army. And then it's here - a new release, a monstrous thing of maddening complexity with its inevitable share of entropy manifestation - bugs, glitches, and crashes.

Reading the dev blog, I fear it will be massive this time.

The entire content consists of senseless murder, a pile of faceless naked women and zero regard for human life in general, all in the service of the protagonist's base impulses. It is clearly a cry for help from a neglected, self absorbed and disempowered juvenile badly in need of affectionate guidance. What a sad, sad display.

There will be more bugs than an ant colony for sure, but there's always the really badass ones...

Today was the sort of day where I thought things were working out. Then I test-embarked in a different town, and bandit leaders were embedded in the walls, dungeon rooms came up through the street and into the center of stores, the sewers were completely inaccessible, amphibian men were hanging out in a farm house and a gigantic frozen river of ice raised up from the ground and partitioned the town except where the bridges cut tunnels through it. I fixed all of those problems to get back where I thought I was when I started.


Also, Loud Whispers, what's with your avatar? IT CHANGES EVERY TIME I REFRESH! :o

I'm not sure coining is the right word...

I just happen to be in the right place at the right time every time forever.

"This is a masterwork bug. All craftToadyOneship is of the highest quality. It menaces with spikes of exploits. On it is a masterfully engraved image of a masterwork bug. The masterwork bug is surrounded by dorfs. The masterwork bug is making a plaintive gesture. The dorfs are laughing. This image relates to the weaponisation of a masterwork bug in the new release of Dwarf Fortress."

My money is on some hilarious bug related to undead raising in evil biomes. Like it happens instantly after death, all the time. You'll end up with hundreds of chopped off zombie upper arms, lower right legs and first toe, left foots all over the place and no way to dispose of them. Except with magma.

Alternatively, something screws up in the werecreature attack thing. Leading to a fort full of werecreature dorfs.
