Hello everyone, the rough plan is to release 0.8 in March. This requires a lot of work, as usual, most of it bug fixing. There are some old and new construction sites we should try to clean up first:
* Ashenzari https://crawl.develz.org/wiki/doku.php?id=dcss:brainstorm:god:ashenzari God is playable. XP boost needs to go. We still need to devise what cursed items should do (beyond piety). (Adam and I can manage, I think) * Zin (Eronarn, David) * Holy monsters (Jude) * Baileys (I'll balance them before release) * Troves (Elliptic and I will address these) * Manual Dated in many places. I will look at it, help is welcome. https://crawl.develz.org/wiki/doku.php?id=dcss:manual:rest I just learned that some in-game help is dated or wrong (e.g. targeting help). If you know such cases, tell us! * Feature mimics Currently, players can (and perhaps do?) throw rocks at features. This is bad; feature mimics should not react to ranged attacks (in particular take no damage). They should only attack in melee range. There is also an issue with glyphs. Neither item nor feature mimics give any visual indication they're not items/features after you have discovered them. That's bad and I suggest some branding to keep the flavour but make them standout. * There is a list of problems to be tackled under https://crawl.develz.org/wiki/doku.php?id=dcss:planning:0.8_features * AC/EV Luckily, this seems to be much better than before, without any pressing problems. (Of course, that could just mean matters are just as overpowered as they used to be, but feedback indicates otherwise.) There's definitely stuff missing -- tell us! David I suggest we don't spend effort on these: * Sprint, ZotDefence (bug fixes are okay, of course) * Miscellaneous itens; divinational items; planting traps * SquareLOS: the devteam is somewhat torn. Let's move on to 0.8 with good old CircleLOS. The matter will be on the table in the future. * God wraths: I have a plan, but it is too large to be squeezed into this release. The gods can patiently wait. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
