I am glad we know it for sure now , about the linux and windows thingy.

It seems to me that there arent many bugs left so i expect the demo really soon. But you never know what will happend.

To all devs , keep going , you guys are doing great.

Gion.

MAtzeb,

About the quest.

There could be 2 npc who dont like each other and hade a figth.
They dont wanna talk to each other but they r brothers and their mother want them to be friends again.

They have to talk it out but they wont talk to each other.
So the npc1 gives you a msg , you walk to the other npc2 and got to type the same msg. That nps2 give you a awnser and you go back and so on.

Dunno if this is a option but it was the first thing that i could think of with only walking and chatting for a quest.

I hope you can use it
Gion.

good, idea
though I had other things in my head. Why writing stupid scripts, if we can have real 100% NI (natural intelligence :), someone (a real person not a script) should take the DM role and play the 2 brothers. And we\'ll have funny disputes I hope. Not just telling the same sentence again...
I\'ll ask our 3d team if they can provide a new skin for 1 of the races, so that the NPCs look different to the normal players...

One idea perhaps for part of a dialogue based quest could be based around riddles or questions that you must solve to be allowed to pass to a new area, or to get to the next part of the quest. Progressively harder riddles (or questions) must be answered/solved in order to progress with the quest - you could even evolve it into some form of competition or ranking, based on your progress, if you can come up with enough material. This quest could be reset and replaced with new material after an allocated period of time.

Might be too difficult with only a couple of NPCs though, heh imagine the crowding. Maybe stuff could could be announced or posted in a central location. Don\'t know how you could handle it really - just an idea though ;)

Thanks for the ideas above. The 2 brothers fight each other theme combined with riddles and questions should make a funny thing. I doubt that\'ll be too crowded because we have to limit connections anyway (I\'m sorry). We\'ll only let 10-20 people on our server depending on how big the load is.

Some wrods to char creation:
Well char creation will work for all races right now. ALthough you\'ll notice that only the 3 above will be displayed, (all others will look like stonebreakers :)

Also I doubt that you want to keep your char from teh first demo on. Because we don\'t have that much rules defined yet, it\'s hard to say wich stats or stats combintaions will be good, later and you can\'t gain experience points at the moment. So the demo is more or less getting a bit of flair for the game. The main reason for the tech demo is more to convince ourself that we\'re able to do it and to attract more developers helping us...

Only 10-20 people allowed on the server at anyone time? Oh no - how will we all manage to get a taster? ;(  You going to have somesort of queing system?


NPC stands for non-player character - i.e. not controlled by a player, but automatically by the PC or maybe by GMs.
