Guild of Writers

The GoW is gearing up for an update to Gehn Shard...and similarly, I'm getting updates and bug fixes ready for the GoMe Pub.

Even shinier new GUI popups so you can read some things a bit closer!

And a few more surprises are in store as well.

Let me complete your unfinished sentence

And a few more surprises are in store as well like, for example, the new accesses to the storage room under the stairs.

In this case, it looks like the timing works out, but... Isn't it possible for an age's files to be updated without having to line up with when the build is updated?

Yet I don't think I've ever seen an age updated on a MOUL-based shard (Gehn, TOC) without it also being at the same time as a new build. So I'm really wondering if that's done out of necessity or just convenience. I hope (and have assumed) the latter, but I can't be certain. It would be nice to know for sure.

Convenience mostly. I'd rather not pester the GoW to push an update to the shard every time I changed a little something unless they were adding or fixing their own stuff too. To be fair to them, they have offered, but it was my decision to wait until shard updates to put out my own. They've got enough going on without me bugging them all the time.

I'd probably only insist on an urgent update if there was a catastrophic problem with any of my work, but those are usually caught in beta anyway.

Another option for developers to explore would be to set a change based on a delay via the server timecode. We're lookign into something like this for the holiday decorations, ect....but is still ways off. However, in theory, could be used by an Age developer to slowly release new content and age state changes.

Again, just a thought on my part....not sure how such techno-magic works in RL feasibility.

It's relatively easy to do.

Oh, sorry...summoning Shards of Dreams there for a second.

Anys, I'm sure Doobes will find the info helpful, if he's not already researching the topic.

I just sent the latest version of the Pub over to the Guild, so expect that in their next update!

It's been over 2 months since that post, but I'm not sure what happened with this.

I don't know how I'd find something that is sent over to "the Guild". But I assume that means it was made public somewhere.
