Task Progress Report - 10.05.12
Posted: Thu May 10, 2012 1:23 pm
This is not going to be much different than yesterday's so you can just skim through it, new and moved items have slightly different color.
Finished Tasks:
DESIGN: The final number-crunching for the effects of cards that make your opponent consume tempo is done, and the result is that for most of those cards, charged tempo will be consumed, giving another defense against Responcers. (see Tasks in Progress for a related item)
COMMUNITY: Syrius has finished his Common Decks task and I'll be working on making those available soon. (anyone else who wishes to contribute to them, please do)
CODING: Automation of Black Carpet and bugfixes in some runes and Fleeting Force are all done, courtesy of Vinushka.
Tasks In Progress:
CODING: The code changes for the cards that make your opponent consume tempo are in the works, so let us know if any issues are encountered, including the situation where you think a card should consume charged tempo and it is not currently doing that.
ART: Django(capn) is working on the base art for Mammoth Trumpeter which I intend to use to 'test' the card layout.
DESIGN: Players who have specific requests for card effects should make the card they wish for in the Create-A-Card forum in Intermediate Duelist area for discussion.
COMMUNITY: The new concept for how one gains Mentor status or Advanced Duelist status is currently being worked out precisely, you can PM me about it but the short version is that Card Reviews and some Rulings posts will be involved (for Advanced and Mentor statuses respectively).
COMMUNITY: Term Glossary and more detailed rules are now being worked on by ZeroVash with a little 'direction'/help from me (i.e. he's doing the work and I'm nodding)
ART: I've given Micky my vision for the card template, so he may get that worked up at some point, but I still have not given him my personal sketch draft. I think our communication was clear enough but as he is also in 'studious mode' this item will come when it comes.
DESIGN: Syrius is now working on some concept cards for set 3 (just a few) and I am as well.
BALANCE: Testing on Photosynthia, Floral Empress is almost done, with the result leaning towards reducing its power to 5000 but leaving its Damage 2. Let me know if you have any other data, especially any that shows why this is not the right choice.
Tasks To Be Started:
CODING: The Deck Analyzer needs to be returned to KP soon, I suggest that Thenarius take this task on.
CODING: Release of cards from set 3 bit by bit since this is probably better for the community overall and player interest (see thread in the Development forum for more details on this)
COMMUNITY: Promotional copy content (text) is still to be generated, Mikara has volunteered to be head of this team, those who wish to help should contact her on Forums by PM.
COMMUNITY: The FaceBook page still needs some content as well, we currently have no one in particular working on it.
COMMUNITY: The more simple Common Decks still need some work, as well as the fourth which Syrius handed back to us. Those being Ice-Water, Gravity-Water, Earth-Fire, Lightning-Radiance and Ice-Wind. Anyone may work on or contribute these decks.
DESIGN: If we are keeping with the idea of race support for set 3 being a primary goal, the upper costed cards (Creature:6. Creature:7+, Creature:8+, Spell:6+) need to be designed, and not by me.
If anyone has any further suggestions for tasks, reports on task status, or just need to remind me about something I've forgotten, please post in this thread.
