Hey, a required work level for tough work! Neat. Though my worker had no trouble with it the last two times... Maybe give them an automatic +5 to work level? Or remove the check for worker types, I dunno how your coding works.

Yeah I can definitely do that.

Also, if you go to city you can now see that I am starting the compass thing... but I can't find an icon for it. It has to be small like the clock on forums, or the skull in PvP. You can steal it from a game, I don't care, I steal like everything lol.

The clock kinda looks like a compass. I don't think the icon really matters much, to tell you the truth.

It adds flavor. People identify things by icons. You should've seen monbre before I had any icons. It was very bland and boring.

Edit: So I've set it up a bit for New Orsa - how does everyone like it? I think I'm going to have small goals for each area that generally need to be done, like barns and house upgrades. So once you upgrade your house from shack, the newbie areas will all have that crossed off their compass.

True, it does look a lot better than the average purely text based game. I'd check out the compass if I was still in New Orsa, but I do have one question. Crossed off as in it'll still be listed, but listed as completed?

Not actually "crossed off"

I've completed everything on my Compass except defeating Gloria, so thats the only thing not in bold. So when you complete something it becomes bolded.

Striking it out might be nicer, or having the ones you DIDN'T do yet bolded. Obviously you'd figure it out, but what else are we here for other than to nit pick?

I actually tried striking out first and it just looked really messy, especially when you have tons of them.

Anyone have any good idea for what to call the compass? I was thinking a list sorta thing but I'm stumped for a good name. >____>

Tasks?
-- too day-planner-y
Directives?
-- too tactical
Goals?
-- too school counselor-y
Missives channeled from the mind of the unkowing Yggotudeph?
--PERFECT.

Checklist it is. It'll be way easier to find an icon anyway.

I've actually just selected the picture of a checklist. Is it okay?

You're right, it does look nicer like that. Now to wait for you to get to where I'm at with the checklist...

Checklist is done. Expect us to get super popular around Monday. I'll make an announcement and send an email on Sunday.

Any other features you guys want, tell me now or forever maybe possibly hold your peace.

( I may redraw a monster or two ) ( but mostly I'm done now )

Just out of curiosity, are the lakes/kichu nest/etc. shown on the minimap actually there? And would I be wasting my time if I wandered around trying to find them?

Edit: How far does the checklist go? I'm in Kah'Lir, and it's just showing a big version of the checklist icon for me. Does that mean I've got it all done...?

Also also, the "do the mailmon job in x place" quest from the guy in the inn/tavern/whatever it was in New Orsa still doesn't show up in the quest log for whatever odd reason. Which is why I don't have it done yet, because I don't remember where exactly "x" is.

Edit edit: What about a nice little green check mark for the completed things? Just occurred to me while wishing that another game would bold/unbold its voting sites so you could distinguish between the ones you'd done and the ones you hadn't.

And, on that topic, have you registered MonBre on any voting sites? I don't know what you'd give for rewards, if anything, but having a handful of votes is better than nothing at all. Also, I may have already brought that up. Can't quite remember.

No, the kichu nests are not actually there but if monbre succeeds, they will be, and they will be treated as dungeons. At the very least, wandering mobs.

I'll see what I can do with the check mark.

Yeah, we're on just about every voting site except for Apex, which I will be adding us to soon.

Well, hook us up with some voting links. Also, want me to grab a couple of random ones from other games? Less competition is always good, although maybe you just went and googled "voting sites" and went crazy. Either way, I could do that.

Dungeons would be neat. Some kind of system with keys specific for that dungeon to unlock chests only in that dungeon would be kinda cool, like kichu key gets you a chest in the kichu nest, etc. Or, a bunch of chests at the end after the boss or whatever, and you can only open as many as the keys you got. Maybe mini-bosses which drop the keys?

Dungeons, in my head, would be designed like a really advanced story. In fact, I'll be coding a similar system for the end of MonBre. Meaning, the final boss fight. It's so epic, I swear, I have it all planned out and it's just great.

Edit: also, I will be postponing the main member-getting ad-releasing etc. until either tomorrow or tuesday as I have found some bugs in PvE that I've been meaning to conquer. (also I added cool stuff) (just little additions)

I was kinda surprised that Mokul wasn't the last god you had to fight. It does make sense this way, though.
