Still in development?

Post by Aerindeloras » Sun Jan 24, 2010 9:25 pm

Hey there.

Just checking up on things, as me and my friend are very interested in this mod, especially the reworking of the acts, as we have played those to infinity and beyond. We have played tons of mods, mostly Median XL, but while that was excellent, we still go through the same quests, bosses, etc.

Therfore, just to check on things, is this mod still in development? And do you have any estimates at all, as to when B5 will be done?

Thanks.

Yeah working on it (and sadly other RL crap + other games) but its moving. Been trying to streamline skill development so players don't get to confused with the crazy class stuff I come up with.

Should be noted B4 might end up being more of a... playground of killing stuff instead of quests. The current test version, for instance has A1 and 2 in but the quests don't really function and its just a method to run around and test out stuff. So I can make boss battles and whatnot, test out monsters.

Once I get the character skills and such in I'll be doing maps and monsters specific to each location instead of making a list of monsters to just have randomly spawned around like D2 had.

I was originally going to try and make a large library of monsters to use and paint em down where it made sense. After some monster tests I decided hand making the encounters will be the best method. So given I have time and there's still interest down the road I might end up doing a release with the chars, a single town and some questing areas and slowly add new areas in as updates. Till the worlds completely fleshed out kinda thing.

No idea though, we'll see.
