Andor’s Trail Project Meeting #32
2013-07-14
Present: Oskar Wiksten(oskar.wiksten), Matthew White(nyktos)

1. Follow-up from last meeting:
Go over previous meetings TODO’s.

TODO: Scott & Oskar: We should prepare a new round of topics for a player priority survey.
TODO: Scott/Oskar: Send calendar invite for preparing a prio list.

2. Completed since the last meeting:
Several alpha versions released, lots of good bugfixes
Awesome input from a lot of people that have tested the alpha versions. Thank you all!

New features since last meeting:
- Weapon proficiency skills are now based on the weapon’s stats.
- Added game statistics to hero overview screen
- Add more settings to control how loot bags are presented
- Map alignment tweaks (thanks Tomcat!)
- Add description to RoLS. Congrats to everyone that has found one! Please don’t spoil the description to the people that haven’t found one yet.
- Remove crit. hit immunity from undead. Add crit. hit immunity to constructs.
- Add setting "Show quickslots when toolbox is opened"

Major bug fixed, thanks to Mety!
- Only remove one item per click when picking up single items from ground bags

Map alignment tweaks (thanks Tomcat!)

3. Things that are being worked on:
Is there really a way to distribute files from the Drive account of the Google plus page “Andor’s Trail”?

Web-based translation software needed
Option 1) Use some commercial website (that provides a free option for open-source projects)
Option 2) Install weblate or pootle ourselves somewhere (requires nasty django dependencies)

Final tweaks for v0.7.0:
- Need to update Fallhaven thieves guild / Umar dialogue about Lodar
- low-level healing
- description for more items (Bonemeal?)


Elythara quest still needs some work before being finished.

4. Discussion of some forum threads/posts that people have found interesting, or want clarification on, or maybe a question answered:

What about item categorization:

5. Open Discussion:

6. What should we have ready for the next meeting?
Beta release, or actual release.

TODO: Oskar: Evaluate more hosted translation sites, and pick one.
TODO: Matthew: Write short descriptions for more items, mostly the important ones such as the Bonemeal potion.

I'm curious about the changes in crit hit immunity. Removing it from undead is huge! But what is a ”construct”?

I just posted those same two questions in the Alpha 0.7.0 thread.

[SkrikRunkarN]

I think constructs is a shortening for constructions (/like buildings, gates or maybe catapults)?

I think you are way off here.

I believe Constructs would be man made creations that act like they are alive.

Like a cyber-hound, a giant rock golem, etc....

In some games Undead creatures could also be considered to be constructs too.

I'm waiting for a definitive response from the code writers!

lol, okaaaaay xD

[sdevaney]

Sorry I had to miss this meeting but I will be sure it is clarified in the next one.

[nyktos]

i finally make it back to the meetings...
and i get stuck talking to Oskar - ALONE?!?

Thanks, Guys!!!



man, it was freaking EPIC!

when i saw that it was just "us" i hooked up my web-cam!
both of my girls, just toddlers, were rambunctious.



after confirming that [yes] they are totally adorable,
we talked about the future of AT - as the girls were both trying to steal the show.

he was, as always, a gracious host...
but also very savvy & competant when brain-storming as an artist / creative machine.



we were throwing ideas out there & it was some of the most fun i've had.
thanks AT & everything that it encompasses. [yes, YOU!!!]

:: points at the screen ::

*cheers*

i will be posting some of what we talked about soon,
but i have other (game related) stuff to do before taking the time to make such a post.

reguards,

construct = golem

an inanimate object given life, unnaturally / magically?



c'mon guys (and gals)

[Antison]

Nyktos is alive! I was afraid that we had lost him.
Matthew, this sporadic appearance of your's is killing us
