Alternate University Quest

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008


There is now an alternate way to complete the University quest, along with unlocking a bunch of other content. Its a bit more puzzling than the main path, but even folks who have followed the main quest path should be able to unlock the additional content.

Some of the content includes three new subareas, three new contacts, and a number of encounters scattered through old content. Good luck!

Cheers!

University Quest In!

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008


The University quest is now in! Everything seems to be working but, as always, keep your eye out for bugs and use the bug report feature (or ingame mail) to let me know. This is far more complicated code-wise than the Docks or Southside Park quests, so I expect some problems to crop up.

Fair warning: be careful with this quest, because the enemies are playing for keeps. They’re not going to take you out, but others are under no such protection.

There is one notable loose end with the quest. There will be a side quest, probably implemented next, that will allow an alternate way to complete the quest.

And lastly, a few minor fixes:

  • Evasion bonuses now display on items and buffs. They were working before, just not displaying.
  • The bats attack you may have seen from enemies is now working properly.

Cheers!

Docks, Before and After

Monday, September 29th, 2008

As promised the docks (both above and below ground) now reflect the Fangs leaving. As part of this, there are actually two entirely new skills. (Of which you can get one. As always, choose your friends wisely.)

I think next on the agenda is going to be the University Quest (step 3 in the main quest line). There are also at least three little side quests that will get done as the inspiration strikes.

Cheers!

Southside Park, Before and After

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

You can now see the full results of the quests to clean up Southside Park. The Park itself post-quest has different, more peaceful, set of encounters. Don’t fear if you prefer a bit of the rough and tumble. There are some vicious combats available if you look.

A similar batch of content is planned for the Docks, reflecting the decline of the Fangs’ influence there as well.

Some minor changes:

  • The bug with certain experience gains (particularly Reflexes) not appearing until the next time you gain xp has been resolved.
  • There is now a section on Energy, Hunger, and Body at the info page.

Cheers!

Firefox Bug Squashed And Other Updates

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

First off, the bug with combat images not appearing in Firefox should be resolved now. If you’re still having problems (or other browsers start having issues), please post here or use the bug reporting feature in game. Thanks to Puyo for pointing this out.

A few other quick developments:

  • Added more encounters throughout the Docks.
  • The remaining items without images should now all have images. Yay!
  • Quotation marks will now display correctly in messages.

Up Next:
There are several quests branching from the current state. Along with the University Quest (3rd in the main line), I’m also working on some sidequests in the Docks.

Cheers!

Buff Bug Squashed

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

Corrected a bug that was preventing buffs from applying their effects properly.

Also, there are a few new encounters in Southside park and the crates from the Docks are now usable.

Cheers!

Docks Quest!

Saturday, September 6th, 2008


Hello! Welcome to our first real batch of new content. The second quest, set primarily on the docks of Metroplex, has been opened.

The quest is available to all characters that have finished the first (Southside Park) quest. You already had a hint in that direction, now you can follow it.

Expect to see a few new encounters on the Docks and Southside trickle in over the next few days. The next two major blocks of content will show the effects of your efforts at the Docks (with serious movement in both Southside and the Docks) and the next quest along the main plot (which will include the University district).

Oh and a few minor things:

  • The “adventure again” feature is in.
  • Fixed a minor login bug, if you were receiving login errors, you should be good now.
  • The Metros system is now up and running, which can mostly just ferry you back and forth from the Docks to Southside for now.

Cheers!
