The Steam news from the 23rd has a video of a desert fort where you can see elements of the new interface in action.I appeared on the Stack Overflow Podcast.So yeah, the first part of the month was mostly catching up on stuff, as described in the first news post. The Steam news from the 9th hasA short gif and summarized the cleanup I'd been doing early in the month. You can play these games like Dwarf Fortress on PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PC, iPhone, Android, mac.All Versions Current Development: RSS Feed, Release Feed, Hmm, the chugging along continues.

So far so good - we've recaptured the functionality of the old squad menu, in that you can give orders to squads or individual squad members. The working theory is doing everything from there, reserving the military info tab as a way to get an overview and for whatever multi-squad equipment/schedule controls are useful. They'll likely change a bit more as we get to the military stuff, and we'll need to do a pass on their bugginess now that they are back in the game.The military stuff is also underway! I'm starting from a squad window, which like many games these days is handled in a popup on the right under the minimap. Ah, I did add the ability to 'pause' burrows, so you can quickly turn them on and off without worrying about alerts. You can place them, assign dwarves to them, give them symbols, and set their workshop behavior like before. That part hasn't changed - we'll probably just be focusing on cleaning up issues with them rather than changing how they work.

We're also taking this opportunity to finish updating all the different location details interfaces, e.g. Doctors will also be assignable to the whole site as before, if you want them to work in multiple hospitals. This led to doctors being left in a strange spot, and ultimately we decided to change doctors into a location occupation, and upgrade hospitals to a location, which means that hospitals get historically-remembered names and can span several zones. The next task has been handling occupations, stuff like tavern keepers, performers, priests, scholars, that sort of thing.

I did another interview with BlindiRL about developments near and far.For me, menus within menus! As of the last news post, we had done stockpile links being created from workshops and were working on work orders. The summer video update post (video link on YouTube).I also did a more code-oriented interview over on Stack Overflow. The report to start August.

Here's a look, adding to the news post's add work order menu:The main new thing on the work order list is the ability to change the number left in an order at any point, doing either an infinity order, or from 1 to 9999 completions. We've moved them to a 'suggested conditions' section which is hopefully easier to understand. The conditions for work orders related to products and reagents are a lot less cryptic now. But those are done now at least, ha ha.

So far I've mostly finished up the coding on the creatures and tasks tabs, which cover the old 'u'nit and 'j'obs screens (aside from the manager, which is now its own tab). The Steam news from last week has the trade screen image I showed here, but also vertical bars and a floodgate with some flowing water.As we started to think about labor and military stuff, it became natural to just put it all into an info screen with various tabs. A report, for July! The monthly Q&A as well! And a Steam news post concerning the new information hub! Then we can finally move on! You can use the buttons in the top right to add your own custom conditions that you tailor in that way, and also to add order-based conditions so you can set the order in which work orders are completed.I think all that remains here is getting building-based work orders up from the building sheet. The type/mat/adj buttons pull up the filterable lists that you might remember from the current version, but generally suggested conditions will be enough.

Profit/mood, etc.) Also notably, there are item string filters now. It's basically at a good spot now, though there are various bits that could be added, probably most notably the ability to view items again (it's not compatible with how we have our item sheets set up now, but I can work through it), and a few new lines of text to make the hidden haggling mechanics a little more sensible (to new players, counter-offers feel like they trigger at random, but it's actually based on skill rolls vs. Here's the last Steam News, concerning beekeeping, from earlier this month.Since then, I've mostly been working on the trade screen. She is also fierce and ridiculous.

This month, not unusually, there is a monthly report. Civilian item assignments.) That's also bound to get a little messy, ha ha. To the military stuff (through e.g. These sorts of things add up to make each of these screen rewrites take longer than expected, but another one down brings us that much closer.Next up we'll probably be looking at finishing the labor rewrite, the workshop profiles, and then how that all connects up e.g.

Hopefully that'll all pass before too long. But it has also knocked me out for days, and I've still got insomnia and I physically tire quickly. Which is good, because that should convey a healthy chunk of anti-Covidness. Most notably, the apartment move is done.

The next big project is the trade screen itself. Even though it is easier to select things now, it's sort of fundamentally unsatisfying to have everything so centralized, so we'll likely also allow the player to select individual items or entire stockpiles to be brought to the depot as well. Pack animals are shown with graphical saddlebags now to indicate roughly the number of items they are carrying.I've also mostly finished up the new 'bring stuff to the trade depot' screen. Wagons no longer pull all the way into the depot but stop short so nothing is obscured.

Regardless, of course, work has been ongoing. Moving very soon after 12 years in the same place, which is a load of distraction to say the least and will continue to be an issue through May. My Excuses, he he: first Covid shot! Birthday incoming.
