Gehn.10 Live!

[janaba]

I am back from my first tour around the shard and I'm impressed and delighted ...

I now have my first Gehn Shard sparklie ... and I now have my D'ni clock, yeah !!! ...

I wonder, Deledrius, why you didn't mention that the door on the upper floor of
the Watcher's Pub is now open ... I believe Wam mentioned that somewhere else
otherwise I wouldn't know it ... Wow, it was so awesome to pass that door and walk
the way up towards the Great Tree, but you cannot activate the bridge and open
the door up there yet as he said, but it was a great feeling nonetheless ...

Last but not least I've been visiting 'Tre'bivdil' which is very beautiful and it is just
great to link to a fan age on an official shard lol ... What I didn't expect was that
this age is hood instanced, but of course it has to be so lol ... I wonder if anybody
linking to any hood could visit the same instance of the age like it is with Eder Delin
and Tsogal? ... but I suppose this might be the case ... As Acorn btw, I ran around
everywhere to test the borders and collisions and at one place close by a bridge
I fell down until I reltoed out, but you've checked this already, Deledrius ...

Yeah, thanks a lot, dearest H'Uru Team, what a wonderful surprise that was
for today ... Don't forget the AGM in about an hour ... See you maybe there ...

Oh yah! New updates and NEW content too! Cool! Can't wait to try it!

What a mighty awesome farewell gift, Deledrius

How sad you're going, Deledrius - I've just been reading the other posts, on the content licensing thread, to understand janaba's comment. Very many thanks for hanging in there to see Gehn 10 through to delivery - your efforts are really appreciated.

Don't forget the AGM in about an hour

I'm afraid I did forget, janaba - where was this AGM advertised? I'm obviously not reading the right threads or looking at the right calendars! You're very good at making the cross-linkages for us, though I'm afraid I'm going off-message in replying!

[janaba]

Awww ... Acorn, the AGM is always announced on the MOUL forums in the 'Events' section under the topic
called 'Monthly Kirel Guild & Group Fair' and most of the time Leonardo or Doobes are announcing it here
on the GoW forums as well in the 'Guild News' section with the topic called 'Guild Interest Weekends', it
seems they've missed it this time ...

[Deledrius]

I fail to find … a new fan age. Please advise.

C'mon man: we're explorers. Look around. There are clues. One of them is even in this thread.

The list was initially (in a pre-post draft) more explicit, but I decided to leave it slightly more open without causing people to search the entire game for it. I thought it would be nice to keep it at least a small surprise for people.

those 'Feng Shui Shaders' are your special treat for us besides the new fan age ?)

Don't blame me, Hoikas writes those "extras". Changelogs around here are collaborative like everything else!

I wonder, Deledrius, why you didn't mention that the door on the upper floor of the Watcher's Pub is now open ...

That wasn't a change made in the files... I'm not aware of it being intended, unless someone manually opened it (easy enough to do with an internal client).

Thanks everyone for your kind words. It's very nice to read such things.


In the lateness and hurry of last night's launch of Gehn 10, I unfortunately failed to mention in the opening post that we should all thank Kaelis and Lontahv for contributing to the new content this launch. Kaelis provided a ready modeled-and-textured book in the right place in the neighborhood so all I had to do was add a working linking panel, and of course Lontahv for the use of the Age itself. I ran into a few bumps here and there getting it all going, but without their contributions it would have been prohibitively difficult to get it all complete.

that was Hoikas - in the New Content thread, back in July

I think opening the puzzle room in the Watcher's Pub is a good idea. I can do that when I'm next on the shard.

but as others have noticed, the button doesn't work so you can't actually get to the tree.

I'm afraid the Feng Shui Shaders got me puzzled - I assume this is a joke but is it actually written into the build somewhere or is it just in your post, Deledrius?

Absolutely! Many many thanks to you both, Kaelis and Lontshv - and congratulations to Lontahv for the beauty of the Age!


Lontahv, I wondered whether you meant this

Show Spoiler

you seem to have stopped us falling into the sea everywhere except from the bridge that leads to the canoe. After trying to get into the sea a few times but finding I couldn't, I was running around without taking care and so was rather surprised to find myself panic-linking out after a long drop through the water. Again I replicated this..

I just checked, and you're right: there is no collision surface there at all. I wonder why he chose to leave it open.

.

Was there a game-related intention here?

The stairway was to add texture to that block and add the possibility of extending the age if I worked on it beyond the RAD competition. I also wanted to leave people curious.

Also, Lontahv, sorry to sound greedy: might there be some new content in the future?

[janaba]

I gladly join the appreciation party here and add our Kaelis and Lontahv to the list
of well deserved credits ... Many thanks and Kudos for all those humbly working in
the background, backstage while others get the burst of applause ...

As of the puzzle room in the Watcher's Pub, yes, I vaguely remember Hoikas mentioning
this, but I maybe didn't expect him to carry it out immediately and so I forgot about it, and
according to Deledrius comment it seems he did it in secret lol ... However, it was thus a
wonderful surprise and excursion, thanks for all those special treats ...

I had some distant memory of it, now jogged. It was long ago enough I'd forgotten too!
