Im not sure that I would make that prediction. Illwinter games tend not to be finished and fully patched on release. However they do tend to be eternally patched and upgraded for free.

Yeah, of course I meant over time

. Shadow Magic was told to receive more patches after the unfinished 1.3 and did not.

No. But I SURE wouldnt mind some wandering monster immune to their poison that liked eating mushrooms. They can be a real pain

This type of talk brings back memories of playing Angband and its variants. Hopefully there will be slimes and molds in CoE3 as well

There are Molds. And Gelatinous Cubes.

Edi · #6 December 28th, 2011, 09:23 AM

There are also new versions. The dev log announces v2.87 today.

Yes but many of the most common complaints about Dom3 are no longer easy patch fixes. They would require extensive rewriting which is one of the reasons I think the new project was started. To incorporate lessons learned.

Reacts to all player actions. Uses intelligent moves, and not just a large random generator (ps, a large random generator can work, if you just log which results worked and which didn't). Detects cheesy anti AI moves and counters them. etc.

Ow right, you wanted to bait me into trying to define something that could not be defined, amirite?
