• See here for current updates. I still update the percentages here rarely as well.

----- Current Heroes:

For clarity:
0% = Not Started.
25% = Started, and may be functional, but is far from finished.
50% = Midway, is functional and most likely is going to be changed or added to.
75% = Almost complete, is completely functional and is working as intended, however is likely to have things added to it at some point.
90% = Basically complete, will only be modified if I have an idea that I think would improve it.

Note: Just because things like "Zoning System" is at 90% doesn't mean it's done. If I add in any classes that have pets, I have to make sure that the pets zone with the hero, as where Bard Charms are not allowed to follow across zones and will become un-charmed if the charmer leaves the area. 90% simply means that it's working completely, but may have to be added to if something new comes along such as pets in this case. Also, it's not finished because I always go around tweaking things making them better. Especially when I find bugs such as the Armor bug from a while back that made Armor far less effective than intended.

This is very soon to be asking I know, but when will we receive updates? Weekly? Monthly? Bi-Weekly? How are you going to be doing this exactly.

I know there isn't a huge fan base but the some of us that DO care are pretty excited.

[Lewt]

Well, I was just updating this, which does not send a signal out that there was a new post or anything, so it was just something you'd have to check on your own. But I haven't worked on it for a while because I picked up a PS3. (I haven't quit making it, just slowed down)

When I was working with Ventura, I'd compile everything I did between us taking turns and I'd make a patch note out of it, but, that's kind of hard when there's no break point like there was when I would send the map off.

Ah, alright then thank you for the information. Glad things are still progressing even if slowed, least we have hope for a new vquest am I right?

Good luck man.
