I hate how our new security room has no curtains on the window, and only has one light for the entire room that's tucked in the corner with no ceiling light. So at night you can't see jack shit and during the day everyone sees everything you do

If I didn't respect the person and their wishes I wouldn't be doing it. It's more out of a sense of respect and the fact I still want to be friends with said individual so I hope this can be a sort of olive branch. More a "Hey man I don't like it, but I respect it, and wish you all the best" because before recent events we were fairly good friends. That said I have been able to dig up some old room descs of a former iteration of the project. It's not complete metropolis but thanks to a bit of help provided by another contributor we should be able to make a working metropolis grid out of what's left in time for the soft alpha launch here in a few days/weeks depending on how fast we can put the simple placeholder character generation together.

@tinuviel Giggidy!

I have every intention of making the game I want to make. At the end of the day I'm the final say on what I actually put into it I just love the idea crafting that comes out of this thread and it really helps me solidify the kind of ideas I want to explore with this project.

Good news everyone as of 5 minutes ago at time of posting our combat system is complete. There may still be some bugs to work out but I have to say I am VERY happy with how it turned out now we just have to finish chargen and we'll be ready for open beta.

In sad news the Metropolis grid will need to be reworked as the person who had graciously donated the majority of said grid has revoked our right to actually use the grid they provided and asked that it be removed. Out of respect for their wishes I'm removing the work they did, and am going to do my best to rebuild it in a manner unique from the way they had crafted the city. Unfortunately that means metropolis needs to be built from scratch. Again. On the bright side Gotham is good to go. If anyone wants to connect and get an early reserve on characters maybe start RPing we're looking at doing that here shortly. Run a nice small contained plot to get people into the world!

Edit: The plan at current is to speed our way through finishing the +finger code, then build a very basic placeholder chargen system. This would just be a quick and simple Background you can set power descriptions you can set and the number of dice you use for each power. Eventually it'll be replaced with proper chargen where you have point totals and need to buy your powers/skills but it should hold us over while our coder does his best to build the chargen proper.

Hey @Mr-Johnson, a friendly note:

You seem to be doing okay with the input, but it's okay to think that Game Design by Soapbox is one of the worst ways to do it. Take everything said with a grain of salt or two. Or ten. Hell, have a whole salt-lick.

Only just noticed your post on that, and I'm aware there's quite the risk to taking on advice from musoap land, but I don't exactly have many other sources of inspiration out there you know? Even wrong advice is still something you can research examine and come to your own conclusions around.

@arkandel It happens on both my laptop and my desktop at work and at home I've tried switching themes I've tried wipeing the cache. Every time I view that thread it just goes wonkey.

@bobotron That's vaguely familiar, when was this?

B-b-bbbut @Auspice ! You made his boner sad.

That's practically a war crime, you heinous bitch!

Nobody wants a sad boner. :<

As a mostly-straight woman who really likes dick, can confirm. I generally prefer happy boners. Perky, even.

9/10 straight women agree: Happy boners best boner. Angry boners come in at number two, and way at the bottom of the pack, nobodies favorite: Sad boners. Poor, poor sad boners. No body wins with a sad boner. T-T

Studies confirm that sad boners are the source of 98% of half-hearted "I was just trying to be polite!" handjobs.

But those are the absolute worst kind!

Ah man Dimitri Pushkin in Moscow. It'd be great. Right to the moment you can't find rp because people can't find an excuse to globetrot. Word of advice with such a big grid make a really easy excuse anyone can be anywhere. Like let's just say for example transporters from Star Trek are in vogue in your game or something of the like

I love how RIGHT NOW Smashmouth "I'm a believer" is playing on the rock oldies channel.

@auspice

@tinuviel I can certainly see that. What I think I'll wind up doing in the end is opening up independents AFTER the prologue as a way for people to continue playing their characters from it who might not initially pick a side. Use the prologue as a testing ground to see where the wind blows with the playerbase, so long as we can keep a stable playerbase.

Now, while I'm doing writeups and waiting on a clean version of the DB (We've got a DB, but some of my staff want a nice clean version so I'm giving them time to find it while I do work that can be rapidly transferred to the new clean database. I figure if they can't find it in say a week or so we're pretty much a go for just using what we've got and working with it!) How would people mind giving some planet sugjestions/corners of space for us to hang out in? I'm thinking to start we go one planet per faction to start with (Plus an independent world during the prologue for people to get in that sweet sweet cross faction rp.) So what worlds do you guys think we should add, and who should control them? If you think we should have more planets then that what AREA do you guys want to see us use?

@bobotron That didn't work for me so I don't think it's a universal fix.

@tempest The bug happens every time I view that thread and goes away after like a half hour. But comes back when I go check that thread.

It magically fixed itself.

Yeah same here, I think the webzone is experiencing trouble.

All I hear when I see this is "more code MORE CODE MOAR COOOOOOOOOODE" and it scares me.
