Uadjet: Hello, and welcome to the Developer's Q&A!
Uadjet: Everyone here knows how it works, so no need to explain.
Damola: Any news?
Uadjet: It's a good thing you mentioned that you couldn't see me.
Uadjet: Being invisible would have completely ruined my plan to conduct this meeting through semaphore.
Gonger: Hehehe
Gonger: And next time in morse code?
Rykia: Hi everyone.
Uadjet: Heh, we'll see how long that goes on before someone dusts off the "Emergency Break" procotol for GMs.
Damola: Need a break, Uadjet?
Damola: Kga, Gova.
Uadjet: Nah, that's what to do when a GM either loses it or starts abusing their power.
Uadjet: They did mention a former GM applicant who tried to give their player character more tria. No names, but it happened.
Gonger: Utter disgrace!
Uadjet: My response was something like: "Tria? That's the least valuable thing in the game!"
Anysu: Thank you for being awesome GM Uadjet!
Damola: While still maxing out a char tria can be sparse, but after that. you just keep collecting it without paying a lot for anything.
>Anysu waves at Thosor
Rykia waves back
Anysu: Done
Uadjet: text waves back.
Uadjet: Yeah, /impersonate is still bugged.
Thosor: Don't give problems with too much tria talk here in this govt building...
Thosor: They'd be glad to ask more taxes.
Uadjet: Okay, so Talad has finished this round of texture and mesh improvements for characters.
Uadjet: There will no doubt be more adjustments, and maybe even another round of upgrades, but I think he's done for now.
Uadjet: He's still working on race-specific weapons.
Uadjet: Those at yesterday's event should hopefully be aware of the new klyros dagger.
Uadjet: If not, check your inventory!
Anysu: still need robe, chain, leather, and plate to be seen on female Ylian.
Rykia: Maybe even a long hairstyle like before too. ;-)
Thosor: And a sore back?
Anysu: That to Rykia!!
Gonger: The Hookknife.
Gova: I don't suppose we could steal the hair meshes from BG3? ;)
Rykia: Nice looking dagger
Uadjet: Yeah, the sixth word in that question implies the answer.
Anysu: Want to get my paws on that new enki blade!
Anysu: Nice meshes there Gova!
Uadjet: There are some new tools for blender that make hair easier to do, if anyone wants to check it out.
Uadjet: As for the new weapons and shields, Talad has plans for just about every race to get their own, unique style.
Uadjet: Nolthrir get galkards, which already exist.
Uadjet: You've seen the Klyros dagger, but not the sword.
Uadjet: I'll try to get some basic, unenchanted items out there, for players to see.
>Anysu cheers happily!
Uadjet: I'm not sure if they'll be made craftable any time soon, but Talad does have a plan to make them more regularly available.
Uadjet: I think Kran eyes are a work in progress. They currently have a rather intense stare, that was freaking me out during the event yesterday.
Thosor: Like eyes after a long night...
Anysu: creepy...
Rykia: Pupils seemed pretty tiny
Uadjet: They're fracture patterns, not pupils, so the central point is no thicker than the lines. I think.
Thosor: Good for reFRACTing light.
Uadjet: He's wanting to will the furnished towns. Delver has NPCs, but the quests aren't added yet. Well, one is, but it's just a means of getting players to Delver.
Uadjet: Once the Observatory quests are in, I'll do some Essential Trail quests. Many of those involve Delver, given that it's a good place for fishing, hunting, and farming.
Uadjet: Homestead needs people. There's one merchant there, and that's it.
Uadjet: Raurim only has the small huts, so it's not really ready to populate. I might be adding a lumberjack there, as well as one outside Hydlaa.
Gonger: The more the merrier.
Gonger: I still like my idea of the meta quest "Create a NPC".
Uadjet: And there are plenty of other towns that don't even have a marker, like Kormia or Hetsan.
Anysu: Does Kormia and Hetsan have an actual map/place to go?
Uadjet: Well, the locations exist, but there's just grass and trees there.
Uadjet: Kormia and Homestead swapped places at some point.
Anysu nods
Uadjet: There are some very basic buildings in the Diaboli style that existed where Homestead was planned to be, but they were removed at around the same time as the giant floating spheres.
Uadjet: Thosor?
Thosor: I have asked about bugs, then told they are in the bugignorer, um tracker. examples:
Thosor: 7859 chat scroll, 7589, interface buttons like timestamp do not stick.
Thosor: For a couple cycles, I think, are older ones looked over?
Gonger: I think there are so many bugs that Talad works on whatever pleases him most at the moment.
Uadjet: I don't think they're looked over, but there is quite the list on the bug tracker and Talad only has so much time. Something like the settings not being saves is annoying, but not especially critical.
Thosor: ok, just I don't get logging if I forget to timestamp.
Uadjet: Talad also showed a new creature that's planned for the future. It's something purchased in the marketplace and then edited..
Uadjet: I think it's planned for the desert area past Oja.
Uadjet: That's a great area to populate with critters and maybe an Enki village/camp.
Thosor: Is it edible? Does it want to be eaten?
Anysu: Showed? Is a picture someplace?
Uadjet: We have sand arangmas, which could go there. And Talad has a scorpion model that could be added and made into windscorpions.
Uadjet: It's a 3D model in the latest stream on youtube and twitch.
Thosor: Wind scorpions, eek!
Anysu: Hunting camp sounds like a good idea,
Uadjet: I don't know if it'll drop meat or not. Honestly I think PS is mostly a game for vegetarians. Trepor heart? Coamti tongue? Not especially tasty.
Anysu: Nice if can make poison from that stinger of scorpian.
Thosor: Serve in the restaurant at the end of the dome.
Thosor: The stinger could be a weapon component to loot.
Damola: Time for me.
Damola: Thanks for the updates.
Uadjet: I think I've covered everything, other than my repeatedly trying to be clever in quest writing and then having to revert to a previous version when cleverness fails. :)
Uadjet: Any last questions?
Thosor: no questions, Your Honor
Gonger: Thanks for the updates.
Gonger: Don't forget to leave the building before quitting.
Gonger: That is a bug I would like to see fixed...
Anysu: Thanks for update
Thosor: doesn't bother me, I just fall a short bit.
Rykia: Always nice ot hear about the progress being made in PlaneShift thanks to all those who volunteer their time.
Thosor: Thanks, all.
