We continue to the hard work of making the game release ready.  Archmage is ambitious and our goal is to make something as deep and interesting as Dwarf Fortress or Crusader Kings II, yet accessible to everyone.  In this update we show the beginnings of character creation and customization, life aspirations, and the detailed NPC relationships view, and announce something weird that is happening with Nic.

We continue to refine, polish, and improve the playability of Build 11.  This week we show some of what we've been   This week we show some of the things we've been working on. 

Still don't know the release date, still 29+ outstanding issues before it's ready for the world.

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.
 

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.

In this final update for 2017 we share our progress on build 11.  We were supposed to be feature complete today.  We came close.  And Thomas wears a hat.

In this short update we discuss progress on Build 11 and the addition of the new medieval insult engine thanks to the crowd sourcing of insults this week.  Enjoy the video and don't be a goblin-bedder!

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?

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.  

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.

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. :-)
