Just a heads-up Scott, general public can't view that thread.

Greetings all,

The "Developers" section of the forum is viewable to all who visit the forum. The "Development Corner" is only accessible to forum members who are logged in and also have requested, and been added to the "Developers" group.

If you enter your "User Control Panel", you should find "Usergroups" under the "Options" heading. It is from there that you may request access to the "Development Corner" section of the forum. It is intentional that this area is reserved for limited content and access to help keep the section more organized (for one reason).

Although the meetings follow an agenda of outlined material and ideas to cover at each meeting that are usually added to by the participants prior to the next meeting, there is also a fair amount of discussion that develops throughout our exchange of information and ideas. Many topics, either out of respect for privacy, or may be contingent upon further research, and therefore pending, are not items of information shared publicly.

[Zukero]

Yeah I posted that in the dev corner because I wanted the opinion of active contributors. It can be moved in the developers section if desired...

[tom1250tom]

When can we, the general public, be expecting new quests to be playable?

[Pyrizzle]

We are working on the next update (When we find free time to do so) but at this time there is no set date for release.

Happy hunting adventurer!

Zukero I can't wait to see where you get with this scripting engine! Very exciting stuff

Everyone should now be able to view the Development Corner, just not post in it.

If you don't like spoilers, read at your own risk.

[Zukero]

Ouch. Would it be possible to add a VERY visible notice about spoilers on this section ?
I'm afraid some people will be heavily spoiled by the content of this section regardless of precautions. ..

About the scripting engine, I posted a first proof of concept version in my github repo for those interested.

Edit. : I noticed some people posted more or less personal info on the dev corner (G+ profile & real name for example), and I think it would be a bad privacy practice to make it publicly viewable again. Actually, I would post my G+ profile too in there if it were to turn private once and for all. However, I have no objections to my thread being moved to "Developers" instead of "Dev corner".

Yeup saw it there (Github) that's why I'm so excited. Looks very legit. Can't wait till you have it up and running. And as pyro said in the reply, I'd also be willing to learn and add to my programming knowledge.

Haven't really had a look into the 'Dev corner' but maybe people how have access should take a vote? I was just pointing out that we couldn't see the thread (lol, I wanted to read in because it sounds super interesting) and as Zukero suggested maybe you guys should just move the thread. Then again, even that's not really that necessary, esp. if you follow Zukero's work on GH.

Once again love the idea, shoot me a PM Zukero if you need testers\guinea pigs
