Calling Notch a game dev is funny given he hasn't produced anything in years and appears to have given up on anything other than twitter shitposting.

I'd like to see you keep your day job after a 2 billion dollar payout. I'm just surprised he's not been found dead after trying to snort a life-sized coke statue of himself.

Page snipe edit:
Cogmind is still great, still eating my face. I wish somehow the lore was more easily accessible/integrated ingame. Turns out I've known the keycode to the locked Recyclingdoor since almost day one, but didn't get a prompt to remind my dumb rear end when trying to hack it. Would also be nice to be able to not have to precisely recall how things are spelt when trying to do Schematics(), or even moreso for Query(), as I'm still in the phase of 'do suicide runs in order to unlock more lore'. Also I found a typo: In the description of explosive damage type, it says "...tend to reduce the 0 of salvage...".

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.

people are still exploring the new stuff, but there's a city with monks and poo poo in it that want you to find the orbs. no idea what's gonna wind up happening with that, but there's a bunch of monk related artifacts being datamined (that are overpowered as gently caress) so it might be endgame poo poo related. i'm excited to see teh dumb poo poo that biskup added

e: turns out at level 30 kherab will give you a third quest, telling you to "kill the seraphim champion of Order". cool

I suspect this ending may involve killing Andy without being crowned, and may provide a way to do it without saving Khelevaster.

I know what the ending is actually, but I imagine it changed a lot in the last ten years since it was a player idea on the forums. Supposedly it involves glitching Chaos so it overflow errors into reality, ending existence entirely.

Chainmail of Raw Steel. Oh boy. More useless items that hyper corrupt you without benefit. Now if that whip or murder knife had chaos on it, THOSE would be worth the risk/reward.

also turns out balors are 40pv. keriax is 50 pv and the angel has 400 more hp so yeah it's more than barely higher... buuut if it doesn't have threatening ranged options then it may as well be a moloch probably. but the new enemies biskup has been adding are loving threatening so he may be a real fucker.

So apparently Biskup is going to be developing ADOM full time now, and create a new game called Ultimate Adom (instead of JADE or ADOM II), which by the looks of it will take place across multiple dimensions and may have a multiplayer online component to it. Crazy poo poo. Details:

There are so many small changes that I'm not used to get in ADOM. Like walking into a closed door bringing up an open or kick option, instead of a do you want to open y/n? Or the new pay menu.

But the one that annoys me the absolute most is esc doing nothing instead of letting me cast my loving spells. In what world should cast spell be capital Z?

I mean it's fine, the pop ups only happen for doors and like two other things now, I'm just gonna stop playing until 3.0 anyways because ADOM has changed so much I don't really feel like slugging away 1.1.1 style

But God please keep posting all the datamined lovely player artifacts, the statues were already embarrassing and these new "same as X art but MURDER BLACK and does OCTUPLE DAMAGE" are rich rich poo poo after ten goddamn years of the Black Tome, Cat's Claw, and all the other tepid garbage

https://pastebin.com/iiNwMd3q look at these ridiculous things. they're loving crazy.

btw testing on the new stuff is hitting a brick wall because the new staircase it adds to the air temple (something about crystalline staircase or something) crashes the game. then the normal staircase crashes the game. also if youdont take the quest and the staircase never spawns it still crashes the game. hell yeah. there's like a randomly spawning goblin fortress that has a captive swordsman and loot in it which is cool, also a random town with hirable companions and the monks. people are still looking for where the dinosaurs and fungi spawn though.

e: the Whip That's Vanquisher But Better was confirmed to not a quest artifact btw. lmao

It grants luck.
It makes Fate smile upon you.

biskup said he'd be back in germany in like two days to fix the horrible bugs he made so you could wait a bit. the rolf quest backer pre-releases needed a couple revisions before they stopped having horrible game ending crashes with all the new content. so uhhh you could always wait, i guess!


speaking of new content, grond found the fungi place, it's a new staircase in the animated forest and it's 3 floors long and filled with dudes that are kinda wimpy but some of them have paralysis attacks and mean status effect breaths. neato.

Biskup's already been hacking away at all the broken 3.0.0 still while he was listening to further talks at the Roguelike Celebration, so I imagine things will shape up in due time.

Definitely the surprise news that stole the show in terms of ADOM having a secured and terrifyingly bolstered future---JADE was always going to run into a brick wall on account of the aims of using the bloodiest bleeding edge of Java combined with NotEYE not actually supporting Java on top of everything else. Bring on Ultimate and all the ensuing madness, Biskup has 2 years to become more powerful than he's ever been with Shadow of the Wyrm and Numenfall having the liveliest of competition and camaraderie afoot~

Also looking forward to seeing how the prism of madness and anime filters all these extravagant ADOM happenings to the folks behind Elona+...
