Hehehe, wow... I've never seen a useful post turned into uselessness so quickly... first reply, new record I think... heheheh

I would also like to know how steel blue is going? Has it been scraped, with just continual updates to CB planned? I think in general it would be nice to know what the devs have planned for the near future, far future, pipe dream etc.

What the devs have planned will remain a mystery unless Talad shares info, and Talad shares info at his own time (http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/2497/usedusedusedcx3.gif) Some interesting new things have been shared in the CS conference presentation of PlaneShift, particularly about tribes.

There is a list of goals for SB, but right now we are just focusing on the next release, 0.3.016. Those little goals lead to the bigger goals, and with every update SB is closer and closer. That's all, folks!

Guys, the devs are like kidney stones...very quiet, very mysterious, then all of a sudden, they'll hit you and it's all over!

...Gee, I don't know if that analogy worked.

Hahah! Seeing how much effort our updates are to pass along, you just may be right.

Well, some seem to think that some day you will wake up and "OMG, Teh SB is releasedd!!"
Every release Planeshift will be updated and one day the release will be called SB, so technically you're already playing SB :P

Can you give us any info that is going to be implemented or in the works.

Whether that be for Cb Sb, or anything else.

Pretty much, what are you currently working on, what are you going to do next, and what's after that.

Kinda a checklist of what you guys are on.

Hope that's not too hard.

A lot of information is under the NDA (non-disclosure agreement) and we cannot share it without Talad's approval. And as I said, Talad shares information at his own time :} It keeps people guessing, with an element of surprise. A checklist kind of ruins that.

I do like being surprised so , i guess you've made your point.

I'll come on one day and everyone will be riding dragons lol, that's planeshift for ya.

Considering it has been predetermined that there will never be any dragons in PlaneShift, I doubt that will be the case.  More likely you'll come on one day and everyone will be riding Gonrads, or some other odd name for a creature that remarkably resembles a dragon.... lol thats planeshift for ya.

I like being surprised but i think you could still have a general list of overall features that are being worked on on a status page or something.  You can still surprise people simply by not disclosing EVERYthing you are releasing.  Easy to say... working on improvements to the crafting system, implementing ranged units, and a few surprises as well.  That still keeps people guessing.

Well. to be honest I'm just bloody pleased  at  what they have accomplished so far. Granted i havnt been in game for a little while, but I found the last couple of updates quite astonishing. And I still think that they are.

I wish I could fast forward time in a way that I don't age or that nothing happens except for PlaneShift getting developed...well..I'll keep trying at that and than we'll see..

Really all i'm hoping for in SB is that all the races will at least have some kind of skins, and that the female and male Klyros will be not all look the same. UNI-SEX!

Inudane I really hope they do not call them "Gonrads" ... like, I just flew back from the Stone Labyrinths and boy do my gonrads hurt...
Title: Re: Any news on SB?
Post by: Induane on August 30, 2006, 10:51:53 pm
Lol!

gnorads is just an anagram for dragons though....

That said when I read that last post I about died.

duh gees guys wasn't there an "ask the devs" thread just last week? how come you waited til this week to start a new thread? You might have gotten a better answer. Maybe if you are lucky they will consider adding it to the questions posted in the right place as I think that thread was a little bare.
Title: Re: Any news on SB?
Post by: dying_inside on August 31, 2006, 05:06:51 pm
Well... Seeing as this is  3.016 or whatever....
Isnt it a little early to be asking about stuff  thats seemingly further down the line?
I mean maybe I've got it wrong but, were at .16, three digits after the original  means that we need 100 releases until 4.blah SO .... I dunno... Seems incredibally early to me.
But then again i could be talking out of my arse.

I think some numbers might be skipped, besides, if no numbers are skipped from 0.3.016 to 0.4.001 there would be 985, not 100.

Really I think the developpers are doing their best, if you think they're too slow or that you can do a better job, go to this site: http://www.planeshift.it/helpus_recruit.html

Lol, I think they are going along fine. I have noo dispute with the development team. I'd rather ait and get good results, than rush and have a second rate game.
I was more pointing out to the people rather than the team.....  ::)

Well If you'd look this thread is nearly a month old, far predating THIS WEEK.....
