I know, you're surprised they're back

January 4, 2010 9:37 PM from

Yes! The Elemental Twitter Updates have returned after a 3 1/2 month absence! $\o/$ I know, you can barely contain your excitement

For previous weeks' updates, go here:

Newest updates will be at the top:

TeamElemental

Is pretty happy with 1g...quests, dynasties, and faction customization are proving to be enjoyable additions!
http://www.screencast.com/users/boogiebac/folders/Jing/media/fa728803-e110-4a81-99ac-52e5a27aa26c Beta 1G testing in action...how many bugs can YOU count?
Cool Gamespot preview! Hope we can delived on expectations (lots of excitement in the comments section) http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/elementalwarofmagic/news.html?sid=6250185&mode=previews
Working on city improvement upgrade system and Crest Editor -> http://content.screencast.com/users/boogiebac/folders/Jing/media/beb95aaa-07e5-4580-98a0-2eadbb2c6524/CustomCrestEditor_v1.png
To address concerns on the matter: 'YES' you'll ABSOLUTELY be able to create Santa-themed factions in Elemental - http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/5471/elesantaz.jpg
*sigh* The portrait generator's gone from 'proud metrosexual' (http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/1592/hasnin.png) to 'creepy pervert' (http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/511/peepinginfocard.jpg)
Just got custom factions with custom sovereigns reloading in a fresh game...I can practially see the Hobbits, Elves, and Dwarves being made.
needs to remove the "bWorkIt" variable in the random offspring generator... http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/1592/hasnin.png
Why yes, Charm spell, I ~would~ enjoy the company of two spiders to do my bidding. How thoughful of you.
lowered the land under my sovereigns feet and lost the game. I shouldn't be suprised....but for some reason I was.
Starting work on the terrain deformation spells...if only my oceans would properly raise into tiles of land
v0.001 in the UI for Multiplayer: http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/7457/elemental1264179490.jpg Needs work, but still exciting!
@DHStom No, this build isn't released...just doing some internal testing ATM. IIRC the next Beta release scheduled for Feb 4th.
sits down with a fresh build to play with Dynasties, Quests, threadded AI, and a slew of other changes from the last two weeks.
kicks the code that suddenly wants to trade MANA between cities. Certain things can be hauled via wagon...tapped mysical energies aint one.

We've been told Elemental should have a custom name for its currency, with fancy symbol and everything. Brad:"No Gil or Rupees allowed!"
Next public beta will be in a few weeks, once we get some significant gameplay headway made
Back to work on Dynasties, Quests, and the Conversation Editor! Nothing better than a 2 week break to refresh ones cold, fragile MI spirits.

The map is not the territory...

"I accidently killed myself"

Accidentally. Suuuuuuuuure. I can see the good people at Stardock in anohter meeting. But this one is not about how ugly they can make the offspring of the Sovereigns. This is one is about in which different (and funny) ways you can kill your Sovereign.

A giant bird drops a turtle on your head (I think this actually happened to some Roman emporer).
You die of fright when you see the first glimpse of your daughter's firstborn child.
Four hobbits steal what you think is just your wedding ring and throw it into a volcano.
You die of depression when you realize you are the only thing in the game that doesn't age.

If the best he can get with a Charm Spell is two spiders... I mean, where are the ladies?

Good to see that the basic magic system is getting finally some attention. It really feels weird to have Elemental: War of Magic without any actual magic to use.

The spiders probably were ladies, at least if Elemental giant spiders are as social as they seem to be. Social spiders tend to have a female-biased sex ratio.

Yup. Deadpan humour just doesn't work that well through these danged inter-pipes.

Updated.

Imagine how that pose would work with the ugly spawn of Satan half-human, half-fallen offspring. Try to get that image out of your head

You're so sexy, sexy sexy
I need your love, I need no hesitation
You're so sexy sex sex sexy
Feel me now and stop the conversation

No, no, no don't stop the desire no, no, no, no, no!
No, no, no higher baby higher, no, no, no, no, no!

I can imagine that as OST for the pic. Go Romeo, go!

HA! That just made my day.....

Is there a slight chance that this might not be fixed for the next beta?

Updated. I almost missed this one; one of the downsides of being away from my computer for 11 hours a day, the tweets can get buried. But don't worry, I'll always get it updated eventually

I'll give you Karma... eventually.

Ah, the number oh joke mods grows constantly... I feel like writing a thread of just joke mods.

Wait, I already have one. Only need to add to it (and change title).

kyogre: Glad you saw that some new posts went up. Keeping up with our twitter account was one of my NYR's. One of my other resolutions was to use less emoticons ( ** resists urge to wink ** ).

wintersong: Michgian spirits...cold and fragile due to the sub-teen temps we've been 'enjoying' over break. DAMNIT, one slipped in!!!

We've had a mild winter this year.

I live about 8 miles from Stardock... been thinking when I should start camping outside their doorstep for Elemental like Duran Duran tickets in the late 80's.
