Nic didn't make a video last week (Boo!), but the team is back together again (Yeah!) and we continue to battle bugs as we prepare the release.  And we discuss a fan's suggestion we do a kickstarter.

Update 55: #NoCrappyBuild

Today is the day we predicted Build 11 would be coming out.  And it almost did (on the beta branch), but further reflection revealed no one is served by a crappy build.  Here's what happened.

We're real close.  So we made a short list of the core features we are focused on publishing in Build 11.  Do our objectives line up with your expectations?

Update #51: Simulator Goofs and Bugs

The game is broken.  Can't show you anything.  But what we can talk about is all the weird and goofy things you can do in the worlds most advanced mage simulator.

Update #50: Adventure in a Real Living Breathing World

In this special 50th double length episode we finally show the tech we've been promising for 3+ years.  It's real.  It works.  The simulated people, places, and monsters all intersect to create interesting choices and quests worth doing.  We've summited everest.

Update #49: 4th and Inches

This week we get one step closer to being feature complete on Build 11's simulator: towns now spawn settlements and NPCs move to the new frontiers seeking fame and fortune.  Well, a job at least.

Significant progress has been made on performance tuning the world generation so it no longer takes 30 hours to generate a world. Your welcome. :-)

Update #48: Grinding it Out

In this update we have nothing to show, so we answer a question about play time, talk about AI decisions based on desires, and Nic's never ending battle against simulator performance.
