Game Development: Some Newb Stuff

[Phalacrox]

One can eat ants all day and just boost his stats! I'm very disappointed in Lorb and Joftar, wth do we need these things. I understand you're attracting players who want to grind but that's not what this game is about!

We've been developing tonight, and here's what's new.

Primarily we're working on the combat system, but tonight we have a small content update for the wee people of the hearth.

Hm, why take step two before you take step one? Wouldn't it make much more sense to first alter the skillsystem? I mean, if you plan to do that anyway a new combat system will become obsolete after the implementation of a new skill system.

Well, because I don't think that the combat system will become obsolete after the new skill system. We'll probably have to rebalance it a bit and maybe add and remove a few moves, but I think that the new combat foundation will handle the transition quite gracefully, and assuming that is true, it would be good to get to play around with it a bit first and get the feel for it.

apparently you can wear nettle and linen pants at the same time.

You could. Though it should be fairly ineffective for anyone save the weeest of newbs.

Well, that's still a pain and they still taste bad.

sez u.
personally i enjoy some raw ants every once in a while, as they are quite refreshing on long forest walks, and there are plenty people into non-standard foodstuff that enjoy 'em roasted.

I find them acidic and raunchy. Especially fire ants, which are annoyingly common where I live.

What the hell is with the starcraft sounds while you raid an ant hill.
