New blog update about maps of KoDP and Six Ages:

Apparently David doesn't remember how he coded KoDP's map data files.

Nonetheless, a really good update this time. This image of KoDP's map zones should make any KoDP fan jizz:

TIME FOR REPLAY!!!!!

Text scaling is noted as a likely feature.

Note that you don’t need to explore every hex to get the achievement.

From a narrative sense, there is no way to see a visible distinction between say the Grazelands (where you are likely to be taken captive by the Horse-Spawn) and other parts of Dragon Pass.

Exploration is likely to work a little differently in Six Ages.

New blog, on map making. (exploration will be quite different in 6A, it seems)

David Dunham's interviewed on a Glorantha podcast and says nearly nothing about Six Ages. )

Has David mentioned anything about the possible future Kickstarter campaign yet?

 

[Merlkir]

Nothing I can say, I think. It's something we talked about though.

"As in #KoDP, #SixAges advisors have personality. Besides coloring advice, this can now inspire people (i.e. give bonus to relevant choices)." via Twitter.

HeroCraft just announced that King of Dragon Pass, in the updated iOS version, will be coming to Steam soon. (4th of July most likely)

(though David just reminded me it's not the most up to date iOS version, rather the Android one, which is still somewhere between the GoG version and the iOS one.)

 

[Shaewaroz]

I guess I'm buying KoDP for the 4th time then.

 

[Archibald]

What about GoG version?

 

[Luka-boy]

Damn, I prefer the original one.

 

[Shaewaroz]

(though David just reminded me it's not the most up to date iOS version, rather the Android one, which is still somewhere between the GoG version and the iOS one.)

Why is it not the most recent version?

 

[Archibald]

Wasn't Android version done by some other guys? Maybe they are doing PC "port" too.

 

[Shaewaroz]

That would make sense, although it's unfortunate.

 

[Merlkir]

That is exactly the case, all the ports are done by HeroCraft.

 

[OSK]

Why can't they update to the latest version?

 

[Merlkir]

OldSkoolKamikaze : I can't really say. (because I don't know.)

Twitter:

Turning back to the combat system, mostly designed (with new options) but only partly implemented.

Scenes written: 243. Scenes coded: 137. Scenes tested: 0. While the game is not really playable yet, we are starting QA today.

 

[Merlkir]

Jet Wong: will you be licensing the tools for Six Ages? Is there any room for custom stories?

A-Sharp: Be happy to license. And while it is much easier than #KoDP to add content with the new tools, user-created is not a focus now.

 

[tuluse]

Why can't they update to the latest version?

I think they can, there is just some delay between the iOS version and the android version.

 

[Merlkir]

KoDP’s like a Neanderthal—didn’t win in the market but chicks dig its big brain.

An unexpected KoDP-Grimoire connection?! :D

 

[Barbarian]

You know what I would really like? A spiritua sucessor to Darklands. Why so many people never get tired of all the fantasy crap is beyond me.

Have you tried Serpent in The Staglands?

 

[Trash]

Serpent in the Staglands may look like it copied part of Darklands artstyle, it really doesn't play anything like Darklands. And it is defenitely fantasy.

Anyway, have been hoping for a sequel to Darklands since getting the original boxed copy. Such an amazing concept and game that felt like it could do with an expansion or sequel to flesh out the lesser parts. Only getting missions for removing spiders from warehouses does tend to get dull after all. What's depressing is how the original (and amazing) manual clearly stated that they wanted to make a series of games out of it. Alas. No great content mods either.
