Longboats

[Yolan]

So... any plans on implementing some proper ocean/islands with deep water with the coming map reset?

I am just going to flat-out assume that long-boats are going to be part of this game. Viking style raids on villages would be hilarious. I've seen ships done quite well with the same nine-direction graphics ala Ultima 7.

Question is, can you hint when?

A) Next month?
B) In three months?
C) er... some time.. I dunno... leave me alone!
D) Longboats? We don't need no stinking longboats!

I think I can promise that deep water will be on the next map, and I'd love to implement boats. There are however many things I would love to do. B might be a reasonable answer.

Edit: Ga, Jorb beat me to posting, I still think my post is applicable however.

Deeper water is planned, I'm guessing boats may be on the list. As for time, you can chose from:
A: It's done when it's done
B: Valve time: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time
C: Or my favorite, RTB time: http://wiki.returntoblockland.com/index ... e=RTB_Time

I was always a big fan of Soon myself.

Woohoo!

B translates as 'Near future' for me, so I am excited!
