This required entering a semi-conscious data entry state. Before doing that, I thought I'd take a good stab at Classic and get a better feeling for how long it would take to do the conversion. As we're trying to figure out the final shape of the release, we ultimately have to make some decisions about Classic, Adventure mode, and Arena mode, as we've been discussing here and elsewhere for the last months.Here's the report for the month and also a Future of the Fortress reply.So what that the new one does it in nine? So what that it no longer takes half a day to test for a release bug? You know what? I don't care anymore. like 1000 times, each time taking fifty minutes.

Sure, the code compiles five times as fast, but that doesn't take away the sting of resting in a darkened closet while all the young computers live fulfilling lives.

I was side-tracked a bit this week, since we're doing a demo in Seattle on September 2nd at PAX, and I wanted to make sure some things were ready for that. Here's some video news that Zach made last week.Which is not this week! I didn't realize some people would be out of town (or continent, as the case may be, is.) Soon though, as we approach our PAX demo. Did some more Classic conversion as well, and a little more work on our exciting announcement ha ha. I don't see it anymore, anyway, though there are varieties and something rare may still exist. I believe I've taken care of all that now. For instance, I don't recall if it's in the last video, but you've quite likely seen either dwarves slicing through menus as they walk, or especially showing through the minimap. I've mostly been catching up on art, which we'll show in a few days, and handling random bugs. Somewhat distracted by my first potential root canal, ha ha.
