Present: Oskar Wiksten, Scott Devaney, Stephen Stalnaker, Matthew White
1. Follow-up from last meeting:
Review notes and wrap up discussion on. Good points were added after the meeting. ~ SCS
We’ll revisit the summary in the next meeting also.
2. Completed since the last meeting:
Dave(Davo) DQ dungeon maps finished. Scott will share through google drive.
TODO: The new dungeon maps will need monsters and some background story. Someone could help with his. Check in with Nyktos to keep everything together. Nyktos has some starting ideas for content here.
Development Thread Access
Structure for Map Makers & Quest Writers - collaboration...
Aviod Overlapping! (NPC’s & Questlines) =)
3. Things that are being worked on:
Actor Conditions Submitted by nether: see shared google doc
TODO: Someone could help with balancing these effects and also tweaking them so that they fit the game engine. (PM sdevaney)
New quests and other content (some of which ties in with the follow-up) ~ SCS
Looks like an excellent start, and a good story to build even more quests on. Would be interesting to read more.
Taledus helping on documentation/wiki.
Excellent start! The Andor’s Trail wiki will expand more in the future, with most of the stickies from the forums, and the wiki pages from googlecode.
TODO: Oskar: Add Taledus to list of authors in the game.
4. Discussion of some forum threads/posts that people have found interesting, or want clarification on, or maybe a question answered:
New tiles: http://andorstrail.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1977
Nice idea! It would be worth it to use these types of transitions. Memory issues by adding more tiles is a non-issue nowadays. It would require some work to go through the existing maps and convert them to using these tiles instead (since we wouldn’t want to keep the old way).
TODO: Oskar: check how we can combine these with clutter on top of them, so that the maps overall still look good.
A very interesting idea about structuring the submitted suggestions: http://andorstrail.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1958
Good idea! Nice work Taldeus! Let’s work with this.
TODO: Scott: Get the structure fully worked out.
How does immunity vs crits work?: http://andorstrail.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1995
TODO: Oskar. Reply that there are three separate die rolls (hit or not, damage, crit or not).
Issue with description of rejuvination: http://andorstrail.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1856#p21858
TODO: Oskar: Mad P is correct. We’ll change the descriptions in game.
More design info: http://andorstrail.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1996
We’ll combine the design document with the info that gets put in the future wiki. If someone wants to help with more background story, then that’s always welcome of course
Sword of Shadows Rage tweak: http://andorstrail.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1862
TODO: Oskar: make sure that after combat, each round starts in exactly 6 seconds, and not something less than that.
Buy/Sell cursor placement: http://andorstrail.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1984
TODO: Oskar : sure, that’s easy (i hope).
5. What should we have ready for the next meeting?
TODO: Oskar: Compile first alpha of v0.6.12
Brainstorm:
Why does magic have to be ranged?
Why not start with basic animation like what we do for conditions and regen?
{ideas for this - matthew}
Quest trigger allowed to make a mark on world map. (could also be covered during follow-up, as this was previously discussed ~ SCS)
Sure, for v0.7.0.
