Epitaph

Hi Omeka - welcome to the end of the world!

Good suggestions, I will add them to the list.

And also, 'fix the avatars on the forum' because I keep meaning to do that and then forget.

I think what I'd like to do for the next few patches is direct attention to existing systems and add content, revise the mechanics, and generally polish them up. As part of that, I'd like to throw suggestions for where that effort should go over to you guys. What systems would you most like to see g...

Through the small window you can see: Grandfather Game wanders off to take care of some private business. Through the small window you can see: Mister Game wanders off to take care of some private business. Through the small window you can see: Mister Game wanders in, doing up his flies. Through the...

It's the little things that really satisfy.

I hope.

Do you guys like board games? Why? WHY NOT??

What board games do you like? Why do you like them?

Let's get our meeples out!

Not just animals. Food deprivation is reaching the tipping point.

NPCs are getting pretty up themselves these days. Someone needs to teach them their place. :-/

I've temporarily removed the killzone from Caledonia so you can escape - no idea what might have happened there though, since the usual 'kick to the kerb' stuff works when I try. I'll look into it as soon as I can.

These should be fixed now.

Yeah, it looks like it was some backend stuff that rendered our existing wiki install incompatible. So I've updated us to a new, shiny Mediawiki and it all seems to be back.

Very bizarre - I just checked the creator wiki too and that likewise is all blank. The content still seems to be there, but not visible. I'll check it out, yo.

I've always believed that if you're going to say 'no' to someone who takes time to make a report or share an idea, the least you can do in return is explain why. I've found in the past too that a kneejerk 'no' has become a 'yes' when I realised I couldn't actually justify it in a report. But yeah, m...

BTW, the 'interactions' command should tell you the nitty gritty about what each of the various interactions do. I'm not planning to have a way of reporting relationships with NPCs though, since that's not quite in the wheelhouse of how I envision the system working. We'll see though - I'm not neces...

Thanks for your thoughts, Mara - I'll mull them over. But what I will say is there is zero chance of the soul system coming back. Remotes and emotes are what you have if you want to do non-interactive souls that aren't already supported by interactions. Having two completely incompatible systems to ...

Yeah, it's okay - I didn't think you should have. But I'd like to leave it for a short period yet to make sure that nothing that changed with the auto_loading is going to swallow it up when I replace it.

It's not fallen off my todo list. :-D

I can't look at anything until tomorrow evening at the earliest, but I've taken a copy of backups to make sure that nothing gets lost once I get a chance. Clearly we're going to have to take a look at loading and saving, and possibly weights and capacities too.

Hi Awanthi - welcome to Epitaph! If nothing else, exposure to Epitaph will let you focus on how bad the Walking Dead survivors are *as* survivors. You'll be more concerned with their poor noise discipline than the zombies themselves. :-D

To the tune of 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town': You better watch out, you better not cry, Don’t make a sound, I’m telling you why, zombie hordes are coming to town. Check all the doors, best check them twice, keep yourself quiet, quiet as mice, zombie hordes are coming to town. They hear you when yo...

It means that you and I are less than a Wallsy.

Look upon our works, ye mighty, and despair.

Drakkos.

Crikey, it's a fair sign as to how busy I've been since I moved that I had no idea the boards had gone all screwy. Anyway, they're back now so let's chat!

Drakkos.

Hi there - thanks a lot for the post. There's a lot to feel good about in your impressions of the game. :-) As to the initial difficulty, I can outline what my thinking is on it to see if it addresses any of your concerns with how Epitaph is evolving. In truth, I don't think it's so much a difficult...

Baby I'll Die Inside (To the tune of Baby It's Cold Outside) We really can't stay (But baby, we'll die outside) The dead won't go away. (But baby, we'll die outside) They've been trying to get in (We really can't win) All the damn day (I'll hold them off, and let you away) They look like they're sta...
