Task Progress Report - 14.05.12
Posted: Mon May 14, 2012 12:58 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.
COMMUNITY: I have finished the first of the StrangeType Common Decks, and hope to post it soon (Fire-Water).
CODING: I fixed a bug in Fair Wind, and added Rius Meteor. There are not yet any reports of it not working correctly. See the Development Forum.
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.
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.
ART: I've seen Micky's mockup of the card concept design I gave him and it is executed perfectly so if he has time that may progress to a usable form within a week or two.
COMMUNITY: ZeroVash is making rapid headway with the rules and Glossary post, any contributions from others would probably be appreciated, talk to either him or me about it.
COMMUNITY: Advanced Duelist will now be granted to players who are sure they have advanced decks, or who write good Card Reviews. Some players may note that their previous Advanced Duelist status does not really count, but it will not yet be removed.
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)
Tasks To Be Started:
CODING: The Deck Analyzer needs to be returned to KP soon, I suggest that Thenarius take this task on.
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.
CODING: The new Ladder System upgrade is to be started sometime later in the week.
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.
