Here's a little something I've spent a couple of afternoons on. It's fairly barebone at the moment, but should be playable.
I'm still pretty tired due to pollen, so GoT updates other than bug fixes and convenience features are unlikely until the levels decrease.
Let me know what you think. Should I continue with this (adding modding, backstory, multiplayer etc) or try and make another challenge dungeon for GoT?
2017-05-30 16:25:07 +0000 UTC View PostBy popular request, I've added a rankings page to BARE. Each season, your ranking will be based on battles won minus battles lost. To publicize your rankings in the top 100, you'll have to go to the Rankings page, select "show my ranking" and hit save.
A season will last half a year. So the first season begins at Jan 1st, and the second season begins at July 1st.
Currently there are no rewards for being high rank other than bragging rights.

Today I've added the following features. You may need to clear your SL browser cache for them to show up:
Consider this an experimental update.
I'm still swamped with RL work right now, but I'm hoping to add at least reagent trading, thongsmith reroll and bounty timers this week.
2017-05-10 16:09:48 +0000 UTC View PostThere have been some excellent suggestions on github, some of which I will experiment with implementing this week. Keep in mind that not all of this might be implemented, but I'll give it a try and see how it goes.
Out now to the public. Fixes:
A new public HUD is available from the JasX group, auto updater and jasx.org
New feature: Challenge mode
Challenge dungeons will show up on the map once you complete MQ07 (they'll look like red skulls). Party members do not need MQ07 completed to earn the rewards. Challenge dungeons differ from regular quests in the following way:
The first iteration of the Defenders of the Realm outpost is now available in Fort Erect. How it works:
New challenge dungeon has been added, Xlad the Impaler.
That's all challenge dungeons I have planned before the full release of the game. This means there's only one feature left that I intend to implement, which is the Defenders of the Realm outpost. I'm gonna get started on it right away, and hopefully it will be done some time next week so I can move this update to public....

The third challenge dungeon is now mostly complete. Unless something major comes up during internal testing, it will be released to patrons for testing tomorrow.
Challenge dungeons differ from normal dungeons in that they're short gameplay-focused quests for 2-4 players. Emphasis is put on teamwork, and on harder difficulties, you will be expected to bring a tank and/or a healer along. Dying on trash in a challenge dungeon will 90 sec to break free from (compared to 20 sec in story quest...
2017-04-19 15:53:38 +0000 UTC View PostThis is a first look at the challenge dungeons. It contains one dungeon (click the skull on the map). You will need a party of at least 2 to play it. Challenge dungeons are a bit under half a full map in length, but with emphasis on challenge and boss fights.
This first one should be rather easy. Let me know what you think of the difficulty and I'll try to make adjustments for...

First off. I have changed the Patreon payment plan to monthly. This should hopefully help users keep better track of their pledges, and let me make patron-only posts more often without having to worry about when I last charged people.
In some actual news. I've made pretty good progress on updating the HUD and server to accommodate challenge dungeons with up to 4 players!
What's done?
Since it's the Easter season, I've added a new card design with eggs. You can get it by unlocking the "Eggcellent" achievement in BARE. All you have to do is defeat a player between Mar 23 and Apr 23.
2017-03-31 12:24:17 +0000 UTC View PostKeep in mind the target self and target coop gestures have changed.
What's done?
All the planned features are now implemented and ready for bug testing. If you encounter a bug or have ideas for improvements, feel free to post them on the GitHub project.

2017-03-29 16:13:04 +0000 UTC View PostI've created a tumblr image blog for GoThongs related media. It has a link to where you can submit your own posts for review!
Right now it houses the art of the various characters you meet while questing (YAY dog tits!). Go check it out!
I'd like to add a 4 player mode, but I have a few points that need to be discussed before I start implementing it:
I'd like to push Game of Thongs into open beta this Friday the 31st. To help me fix bugs during beta, I would like to extend the playerbase. Most of the userbase haven't tried GoT or even knows if it exists. As such I would like to show more people what GoT has to offer.
My best idea for doing this is to get user generated media posted here and there. I could use things like:
Download .
This is a public post I intend to keep updated as bug reports by the patrons are fixed. These updates are present on the current patron playtest HUD, and will be included in GoThongs 0.10.0
Mar 29th changes are listed in bold
Quests
MQ01 - Imprisoned
This is a patron-only HUD. Patch notes will be added in a public post shortly. This will be the final pre-release of alpha. Once this HUD has been patron playtested, Game of Thongs will enter beta.
Note that this is a second paid update this month. But Jan/Feb had no paid updates so the pledge posts are still less frequent than once a month.

First things first: I'm still tired. I went to the doctor and did some tests. Turns out my cold was actually the flu and I should expect to start feeling less tired within a few weeks. In the mean time I've been working on easy stuff.
Adds the (long) final chapter of GoT. Visit longwood bridge to get started.
I'm still sick so development will remain at half speed for another while. This has been the slowest moving sickness I've ever had.
At least I have made some progress on enchanting. Only reagent drops are left to add before I can do a patreon alpha of it. I also intend on experimenting with websockets for the books to greatly speed up loading, and adding a library of sorts where most previously read b...

I'm still recovering from my sickness but I've gotten a bit better today compared to yesterday so I'll likely slowly be easing back into GoT work during the coming days. It woul...

The Patron alpha HUD with the final quest of the main storyline has been released. If you're not already a patron, consider pledging to test it ahead of time.
While this quest is being tested, I'll probably add in enchants. Right now I'm not 100% sure how players should acquire said enchants. Maybe something like WoW has the work order system. You place gold into research and after a day or so you gain various enchants of random qualities. I'll also be raising the level cap to 20....
2017-03-01 19:05:35 +0000 UTC View PostHere's a patreon alpha to all pledgers. Due to the large scope of the quest, and massive amounts of scripting going into it, expect a lot of issues. Please report them on the GitHub or post a comment here (though preferably the github).
The size of the quest also means it will likely remain in patreon alpha a little longer than other quests.

As soon as I get enough time to work on GoT, I get a cold and have to spend half my days in bed. Oh well. At least I've managed to make SOME progress. Here's what's done:
This year I added a drama section, because why not. Given 3 points for each Sexy AF vote, 1 point for Aight and -3 points for Shit Tier. This is how you ranked the species in the list:
This year's survey is now closed. This year it got 333 responses, compared to last year's 415. But last year's survey was also active for twice as long.
I'm going to go through some of the more interesting questions here (mostly the text fields). If you want to see the full results for yourself, you can see them here .
Do you have any suggestions for ...

Late 2015 I had the userbase take a survey to get to know the demographics better.
This year the survey is a bit delayed. I will publish the results and comment on it in February. The survey is anonymous.
For those who missed the survey a year ago, here's the summary of that:
