About next version - (235KB graphics inside)

Bror · Post by **Bror** » Sat Feb 24, 2001 12:39 pm

As most of you know, we are currently working on the change to isometric graphics. This takes most of our time, but some other new features will be included:
- You can buy grain seeds in the shop. You can plant it on any grass field you like. After several minutes the seeds will grow to grain, that you can cut with a sickle, get the seeds with a flail and plant new grain (of course you get more seeds than you used). You can make flour in a mill and bake brad and rolls with it. The picture below shows some grain fields (they are good for sneak attacks to hide in too

)
- You will find no more gems while digging for ore. Instead you find raw gems, that need to be worked on, to make gems and create rings etc. with it.
- A few new monsters
- more stuff to fill the scenery like plants and trees
- some more furniture to let the houses look better (like paintings, ovens...)

I was wondering, is buying a house a long, long , long way away? Or maybe just a single 'long' way away?

Bror · Post by **Bror** » Sat Feb 24, 2001 4:47 pm

Building your own house will be a double long way away, buying a prebuild house might be a single long

But I think, if there is a guild, which wants to have a house, we might be able to place it in the next version, but not for single persons. But these houses (for the next version) will be non lockable, but with furniture as you select.

Will it be possible for housebuilders, to make a cellar ? (dig it) - would be great.

someone told me there should be a tool to tell how good an item is or what it can be used for. will there be one in the new version?

Sword · Post by **Sword** » Mon Feb 26, 2001 11:19 pm

I also think there should be locked doorslike in some games where you need a key to get in or something.
just a suggestion for the new ver.

Bror · Post by **Bror** » Mon Feb 26, 2001 11:32 pm

no readable signs, no tools for identifiying items.
lockable doors, not planned for next version, but I think about it

Sword · Post by **Sword** » Mon Feb 26, 2001 11:53 pm

how can you just knock out a person instead of having to kill them all the time?
and will there be one in the new version?

Sword · Post by **Sword** » Mon Feb 26, 2001 11:57 pm

Sometimes items within a box or bag will dissapear.(mold/rot)
i think there should be a tool so that when you store an item in a box(removed) that it should not dissapear.

I just hope we can tell the stats on our eq sometime.

Sword · Post by **Sword** » Tue Feb 27, 2001 1:51 pm

i wonder if the map will be larger.
will it be expanded?

Erdrick · Post by **Erdrick** » Wed Feb 28, 2001 1:54 pm

There should be new wall tiles and new roof tiles
for there to be some kind of variation between houses.
And why does the whole house inside become
visible from 1 window???

JohnJoW · Post by **JohnJoW** » Wed Feb 28, 2001 2:30 pm

the map will be expanded, but till the map-editor comes out... I don't think so.

There are new wall tiles in the new version.. (I'm lucky, I've seen them *grin*)

some people think the lizards walk funny will that be fixed?
and there should be a way to make grapes to fill the goblets with wine.
also a tool so you can sell gold ingots...

Erdrick · Post by **Erdrick** » Thu Mar 01, 2001 2:00 pm

Can we use the trowel to plant roses?
That flame sword looks worse than the one now...
Whats that big cross? did someone die?

Erdrick · Post by **Erdrick** » Thu Mar 01, 2001 9:17 pm

Is there going to be a release date?
Or a estimate?
Whats up with the penguins?

Bror · Post by **Bror** » Thu Mar 01, 2001 10:55 pm

No penguins, they don't fit here (at least not with sunglasses

)
The big cross is the new healing point.
Release in about a week, I hope.

Sword · Post by **Sword** » Thu Mar 01, 2001 11:24 pm

how can you knock out a person?
and will you please add a tool to sell gold ingots and maybe find diamonds which can sell for 400 gold?
they must be rare though

Bror · Post by **Bror** » Thu Mar 01, 2001 11:44 pm

diamonds and all kinds of gems can be found in the next version. I'll make the gold ingots sellable right now, but for a low price, since they are easy to produce.
Knock out persons is not possible so far

Sword · Post by **Sword** » Fri Mar 02, 2001 12:29 am

what about grapes?
can you make it so we can make wine or juice to put in the goblets?
also we need a tool so there will be soil.
then we can plant a rose usin the dirt on the pot then the rose
in the dirt and then add water.

Erdrick · Post by **Erdrick** » Sat Mar 03, 2001 2:46 am

Bror, can we transfer all our data to new version or so we dont lose our info.?
If not, what do we lose?
I just earned 5800+ gold so i hope that transfers...

Bror · Post by **Bror** » Mon Mar 05, 2001 12:02 am

everything transfers to the new version

Erdrick · Post by **Erdrick** » Mon Mar 05, 2001 1:17 am

Wow! Cool!
Um, why are swords up for sale in the shop?
and they look broken too.

Sword · Post by **Sword** » Fri Mar 16, 2001 1:51 am

Can you put up some grape seeds so we can make a grape vineyard?
also a tool so we dont just eat the grapes:)
and add the bowyer skill since many people make bows.
oh yes, there must be a way to make bricks but not able to make houses yet.
just some statues and vases using clay and some other brick stuff with bricks.
ok?:) :0

Sword · Post by **Sword** » Fri Mar 16, 2001 2:00 am
