Hello guys,
One word from the Yliakum Chronicler:
I did not realize how far I had fallen behind with the Q&A Proceedings. As mentioned before, this year has been challenging health-wise, but now that everything is under control, I will catch up as quickly as I can.
See you later today,

Uadjet: Hello and welcome to the Developer's Q&A!
Uadjet: So, if you have any questions please step up to the lecterns in front of the stage, and I'll start by giving a brief rundown of what's being worked on behind the scenes.
Uadjet: Since the last meeting Talad continued his work on city management.
Uadjet: There's a city management window in the supporters tab on Discord that's giving me serious Civilization flashbacks.
Uadjet: It's just a sample, but there is a lot of detail on the status of the city, including what resources it needs
Uadjet: And one bit I found interesting is that at least in the pic Hydlaa has a population of 1955.
Gonger: Which brings me to a question...
Uadjet: Yes?
Gonger: We have mixed-races marriages. What about the children? Half-breeds?
Gonger: I think that was an interesting question...
Resildren: meaning the models? or the concept?
Uadjet: Yeah, that's one where I'm not sure of the official answer.
Gonger: The concept. Models, yeah, good point as well.
Gonger: Maybe we should leave this for the moment as To Be Defined...
Resildren: that could be challenge, concept wise It's been RP'd in the past iirc
Anysu: I thought it was the child of a mix race would not have features of both races, but would be either race of either of it's parents
Anysu: Pretta had a ylian and a enki mate at different times. And rped it that she had four young. Two were enki and two Ylian.
Gonger: That would be the most simple way, of course, and I don't have a problem with that.
Resildren: as long it's got nothing to do with ulbers, i'm good with it
Gonger: One of my teachers at the University once said to me: "I cannot answer that question right away, and that means it is a good question."
Anysu: Modeling a mixed race character would probably be difficult to create.
Gonger: We would need a ton of new models.
Gonger: What Anysu said makes sense to me.
Resildren imagines a green dwarf with wings
Gonger: One of the Gods tosses a coin, and that determines what the child will be like.
Uadjet: It's about the only way it could work, though I can't say it's official. We do know that Diaboli+Elf=Ynnwn, at least in theory.
Thosor: or a Ylian with a tail
Anysu: Yet we do not have Ynnwn characters you can play anymore..
Uadjet: Not for now.
Anysu: Do not believe enki tails are prehensile.
Mohonin: speaking of kids, what wud be the minimum age of a kid in RL who can play this game?
Uadjet: I just went to look up tails for Diaboli and Enki. The Enki page doesn't even mention the tail!
Gonger: The game is meant to be equivalent to PG-13, if memory serves well, Mohonin.
Anysu: And if I recall right the Diaboli tails do not even show up on the models
Uadjet: So 13 up is fine. 12 and lower with supervision.
Mohonin: oh ok then 13 yrs of age and above can play this game, Thanks Gonger Sir
Gonger: If children play, I strongly suggest to add the fact that they are young to the OOC description.
Anysu: Which seems odd if you can put a tail on an enki model why not on a Diaboli model?
Anysu: But then I am no 3D modeler.
Uadjet: I don't know. They don't really match the description of Diaboli. They're short Ynnwn. Maybe there's a hope that more appropriate models will be made later.
Anysu: I'm still waiting for a Ylian female model to be seen wearing armor.
Uadjet: That... may not be as far off as you might think.
Gonger: Hear, hear!
Anysu: That be nice. Anysu made really nice armor for Kat but she can't be seen wearing it..
Uadjet: I can say no more on the subject.
Resildren: can you also not say anything on robes being expanded?
Resildren: my demorian robes are soooo drab
Resildren: makes me feel like a potato sack
Uadjet: Uhhhh... There's an AI-generated robe in the general section on Discord.
Anysu: I really fancied my enki robe in Legacy better then psu. But that is just me.
Uadjet: Yes, Thosor?
Thosor: Just noticed the #supporters tab is not showing in Discord anymore.
Uadjet: The link to the post about Kran robes:
https://discord.com/channels/378244034348449792/378244034348449794/1292564331287810108Anysu facepaws and rolls eyes at robe before listening to Thosor
Uadjet: Or you can search for the text: "AI generated robe with gems, but needs to be adapted to a kran."
Resildren: looks good for a kran
Uadjet: If you're a supporter it should show up. Maybe ask about it on Discord?
Thosor: Ok, couldn't find info a couple mins ago i will check later, Thank you.
Uadjet: As for robe colour, I think having... 7 or 8 different colour schemes would be nice. One for each Way, and one or two generic.
Anysu: Would like that, colors for Ways.
Resildren: we do have tailoring under the jobs tab,maybe it could be incoperated into the making of the robes?
Gonger: I see the Supporters tab, Thosor.
Uadjet: That would be nice. Even being able to change the colour of the default clothing would be huge.
Thosor: Gonger Patreon shows still supporting, hmnnnn.
Anysu: Sara can change hair color. An npc that changes clothes color could be a thing,
Gonger: Thosor, on Discord you are NOT shown as supporter.
Uadjet: Have you tried reloading the page or client, Thosor?
Thosor: I'll check it out later, thanks, just don't want to miss anything. I saw the armor, etc posts on Patren app.
Anysu: Any other news Uadjet?
Uadjet: Yeah, Talad is currently working on dice games.
Uadjet: You'll be able to gamble with NPCs (well, a few I think) and he's working on a poker-but-don't-call-it-poker dice game.
Anysu: Isn't there already a gambling npc in Hydlaa?
Uadjet: Yeah, but it's just text. This will have animations.
Uadjet: And that NPC will surely be one of the ones with the game.
Uadjet: I haven't given out dice boards in a while, I just realized.
Uadjet: Oh! And there will be sleeping!
Mohonin: so i guess there will be a sleep animation, is it?
Uadjet: Talad has some sleeping animations that he can add, and he ran a poll in Discord not long ago asking about increased regenration for players using a sleeping roll and/or tent.
Anysu: Will new models be needed for that?
Gova: I've relied on relaxing sleep and healing flash for so long I forgot that recovery is an issue.
Gonger: Whenever gambling comes up, I have to think of Paajah... Hehehe...
Anysu: Paajah is a storyline I would not mind seeing again.
Uadjet: I'm not sure, Anysu, but tents and sleeping bags are likely models that are in packs that were given out free by Unreal at some point. The just need to be scaled for each race.
Uadjet: That could happen. It's a good character.
Anysu: If it does I have another alt that might work bit better for that storyline.
Uadjet: Heh. I'll give a tip if I bring Paajah back, so you know who to bring.
Uadjet: Any other questions?
Anysu: Thanks about mentioning a tip.
Gonger: Memory refresh: Paajah was the leader of the group who ran the illegal gambling hall in Ojaveda. The group was brought down, but she escaped...
Anysu: If new dice gambling game was implimented before a return of Paajah be handy for a newly opened underground gambling place.
Uadjet: Last I checked the entrance to the gambling den was missing or underground. I'll have to take a look and see if it can be used.
Anysu: Oh maybe that is a part of storyline... Paajah came up with that new dice game as a herald to her return...
Gonger: Surely not the same spot...
Anysu: Be a way to explain why it appeared in world.
Anysu grins
Thosor: Oh, there is a book about upcoming drifter races floating near the marketplace. Behind a house
Gonger: There is a book like that on the door behind me.
Gonger: And it has been there for a long time.
Thosor: Same, I think...
Gonger: There were two races, I think, before the people behind no longer followed it.
>Uadjet picked up a book
Gonger: One race was in Ojaveda.
Uadjet: Got this one. I'll get the one near the market once we're done.
Uadjet: And speaking of being done... We are!!!
Anysu: Thanks for the update Uadjet and Gonger
Resildren: Thanks Gonger ,and Uadjet for the updates
Mohonin: Thanks for the dev q&a, ill leave now, cya all later
Gonger: See you around. Don't forget to leave the room before quitting.
