I am very pleased to be able to announce that the campaign Delfador's
Memoirs appears ready for mainlining. The WML seems in good shape, I
can certify the prose, fabi reports that the forum playtesters like
the storyline, and we have reached the stage where we are polishing
things rather than fixing bugs.
Besides being a reasonably strong campaign in itself, DM is an enriching
addition to the braid of storylines around Delfador and the Wesnothian
royal house that have formed the plot core of the game ever since
Heir to the Throne. It is particularly linked to HttT and (through
Kalenz) to Legend of Wesmere; indeed, some of the later scenarios were
origninally part of LoW.
There are, as usual, issues with missing art. Also as usual the
campaign could benefit from more balance testing. These things should
be addressable without much difficulty before 1.8 ships; we're at a good
point in the release cycle for this.
ShadowMaster wants to do the actual mechanics of mainlining for
technical reasons related to how he manages the umc-dev repo. Unless
we trip over some last-minute blocker issue before then, I'm going to
ask him to pull the trigger on Wednesday, April 8.
Props to tapik and santi for design, fendrin for his usual excellent
WML hacking, and zookeeper for QA and critique. As usual with the last
seven or so campaign lifts, I was a sort of combination producer and
script doctor; you can blame anything that's still wrong with the
storyline prose on me.
