               better idea of his schedule. Creepy.   The leading players

12:37 < Taiya> Silver has won by fame!  Talvieno has won by fame!
12:37 < Taiya> Most politicians are greedy thugs, but not Condom. it has
               chosen to be an upright, well-meaning leader that its people
               are proud of - and the Esori System eagerly accepts himher
               as their new emperor. Only time can tell whether they've
               chosen well, but chances are, they have.
12:37 < Taiya> Condom is a an amateur leader with practically no money to
               its name ($20), and is mildly unhappy with its life. The
               Francis, its ship, is in perfect condition, but has horrible
               weaponry. Right now, its list of contacts is impressive;
               it's earned galaxy-spanning fame, but no infamy. The local
               law enforcement isn't interested in it.
12:37 < Taiya> Bugmonster is a an amateur leader with practically no money

               Bugmobile, his ship, is in perfect condition, but has poor
               weaponry. Right now, his list of contacts is godlike; he's
               earned galaxy-spanning fame, but no infamy. The local law
               enforcement isn't interested in him.

Day 22
Second beta test day was messy because people were really excited about getting a chance to break Taiya. She got kicked for flooding once, even. I fixed a LOT of bugs (check patchlist), but I'm sure a lot of them still lurk out there. To anyone that lost games midway: I'm really sorry.

Winners yesterday were Cha0zz (1), Talvieno (2), Silver (1), and DigitalDuck (2).

On another note, I've fixed Taiya to be able to use Unicode. Hopefully it'll work without breaking anything.

Some recent news has left me somewhat at a loss, and I probably won't get much done today. If you find any bugs, please add it here as a bug report and I'll get to it as soon as possible.

Patched since yesterday's beta session (ver 0.13.3):
Spoiler:      SHOW
ADDED:
  • Character starting sequence randomization: Characters are now randomized at start so you can't as easily tell who is who
  • Players should now receive warnings when their happiness or hull integrity is low
  • Taiya will now kick players that don't play for two turns in a row.
  • Taiya will now only give the first player the option to start the game
  • Added character name invalidation to keep from breaking things
  • Added the ability for a user with a master account to kill corrupted games (ANY corrupted game, including Image Mashup)
FIXED:
  • Fixed a few ActionVS typos
  • Fixed a bug where it would repeat loss messages for everyone
  • Fixed Taiya getting kicked from "Flooding" - i.e. talking too much (Hopefully)
  • Fixed a large number of bugs with joining active games
  • Fixed delays from mismatch of players and actions
  • You are no longer able to add new characters midgame with the same names as current ones
  • Fixed some commands missing from the command list
  • Fixed rare error with cash
  • Abandoning the game will no longer cause delays for other players
TWEAKED:
  • Tweaked how easy it is to get fame
  • Tweaked character generation
  • Tweaked scoring for fame/infamy to make it more obvious when someone is going to win by fame/infamy (should be better, may not be perfect)
  • Cash calculation now makes more sense (25% cash is roughly equal to $10,000, 50% cash is roughly equal to $1,000,000, 75% cash is roughly equal to $50,000,000, 100% cash is roughly equal to $1,000,000,000)
Total game progress: approximately 79% Complete (+5% bugfixes)

I haven't really gotten anything done in the past couple of days because of the previously mentioned news, the DF succession game, jobhunting, helping gf, and trying to make a REKT post. I will most likely be able to get more done today, though... probably. Tomorrow is a better bet, but I'll try to get some work done.

Day 26
We've done many more beta tests and ironed out many more little bugs and imbalances. I think at this point it's just stable enough that I'll be able to keep moving forward with the project.

Next on the list is reaching 100% in expanding her text to the optimum level. This will probably take a while (maybe a few weeks or more?), but I'm quite confident I can get there. I've written several novels before, after all. :)

Patched since last time (ver 0.13.6):
Spoiler:      SHOW
ADDED:
  • You can now choose a random class by typing in "random" as your stats (e.g. Talv,male,random)
  • You can choose to have random stats assigned by typing in "random" or "rnd" for a single stat (e.g. 0,1,5,rnd,9)
  • Taiya now counts out the number of people that join so you know when it's okay to start the game
  • Removed: Taiya will no longer permit you to join a game in progress; too many associated problems
  • You can now say "ir" as a shorthand for "ircrpg" when making a new character
  • Asking Taiya "What's the holdup" will now have her put the names of the people that haven't finished their turn in main chat.
  • Taiya will let you start a new game from the #LTRPG channel
FIXED:
  • Fixed bug with turn completion
  • Made another attempt at fixing flooding so Taiya won't get kicked
  • Taiya will no longer undo pregame ship name changes
  • Fixed at least two typos in win messages
TWEAKED:
  • Tweaked hostile actions again to make them more difficult to accomplish
  • Game now starts a maximum of five minutes after the last person joins.
Total game progress: approximately 82% Complete (+3% total, +2% patches)

[insert_inspiring_text_here]

Code: Select all

[12:07:52] <DWMagus> taiya, start the game
[12:08:15] <Taiya> Okay! I'm starting the game. The current characters are: Democracy, Pompus Cirillius III, Nozomi, Cronus, and LorthumV.
[12:10:49] <Taiya> >>> Events in Turn 1: Democracy stalks LorthumV for a while to get a better idea of his schedule. Creepy.  Cronus manages to swap out Nozomi's shipment of fuel for a gigantic order of custard pie, and leaves her to deal with the details. This totally ruins his day.  Pompus Cirillius III and Nozomi play ping-pong, and have a great time together.  Democracy tries to ruin Cronus's day, but fails so
[12:10:52] <Taiya> miserably that it only ends up amusing him.  LorthumV stalks Nozomi for a while to get a better idea of her schedule. Creepy.   The leading players are Cronus and Democracy.
[12:13:07] <Taiya> >>> Events in Turn 2: Cronus and Democracy talk about your dreams, and have a great time together.  Democracy tries to swap out Nozomi's shipment of fuel for a gigantic order of a single red rose, but it utterly fails to work, leaving both parties unhappy and confused.  Pompus Cirillius III spreads some nice tales about Cronus on Waterloo, making him slightly more famous.  Nozomi meets up with
[12:13:10] <Taiya> Pompus Cirillius III and have a wonderful conversation into the wee hours of the night, strengthening their friendship.   The leading player is Cronus.
[12:13:17] <DWMagus> "your"?
[12:13:19] <DigitalDuck> *their
[12:13:31] <cuisinart8> "a gigantic order of a single red rose"
[12:13:31] <Talvieno> where your?
[12:13:36] <Talvieno> rofl
[12:13:42] <Talvieno> whooops
[12:13:47] <Talvieno> forgot the gigantic order part :V
[12:13:51] <Talvieno> just remembered the shipment
[12:14:02] <Talvieno> "a shipment of a single red rose"
[12:14:12] <Talvieno> I had to get creative :V should probably remove that one
[12:14:37] <cuisinart8> lol
[12:15:01] <DigitalDuck> Democracy is just trying to ask Nozomi out. :D
[12:15:20] <DWMagus> Nozomi is courting democracy?
[12:15:24] <Talvieno> xD
[12:15:25] <cuisinart8> lol
[12:16:15] <Taiya> >>> Events in Turn 3: Nozomi sends some creds to Democracy's account as a gift. Democracy feels very grateful.  Cronus meets up with Nozomi and have a wonderful conversation into the wee hours of the night, strengthening their friendship.  Democracy tries to swap out Nozomi's shipment of fuel for a gigantic order of soured milk, but it utterly fails to work, leaving both parties unhappy and
[12:16:21] <Taiya> confused.  Democracy stalks Nozomi for a while to get a better idea of her schedule. Creepy.   The leading player is Cronus.
[12:16:44] <cuisinart8> rofl soured milk
[12:18:14] <Taiya> >>> Events in Turn 4: LorthumV does some legwork and manages to get Nozomi a small promotion. She is very grateful.  Cronus does some legwork and manages to get Pompus Cirillius III a small promotion. He is very grateful.  Pompus Cirillius III stalks Democracy for a while to get a better idea of his schedule. Creepy.  Democracy confuses Nozomi, making her think that Democracy lives somewhere
[12:18:20] <Taiya> other than he does.  Cronus sends some creds to Democracy's account as a gift. Democracy feels very grateful.   The leading player is Cronus.
[12:18:32] <Talvieno> Democracy is mean :(
[12:18:39] <cuisinart8> he is lol
[12:18:42] <Talvieno> Anarchy is better
[12:19:16] <DWMagus> lookup democracy
[12:19:17] <DWMagus> whoops
[12:19:24] <Detviet> :D
[12:20:01] <Talvieno> :D
[12:20:09] <DWMagus> Hrmmm...  that might be a bug.
[12:20:11] <Taiya> >>> Events in Turn 5: Pompus Cirillius III discovers that Cronus has been trying to slander him and puts a stop to it.  Democracy confuses Nozomi, making her think that Democracy lives somewhere other than he does.  Cronus spreads some nice tales about Nozomi on Waterloo, making her slightly more famous.  LorthumV spreads some nice tales about Nozomi on Nacre, making her slightly more famous.
[12:20:14] <Taiya> Nozomi tries to frame Pompus Cirillius III for committing a crime, but the authorities don't buy it, and he is quickly cleared.  LorthumV confuses Democracy, making him think that LorthumV lives somewhere other than he does.  Democracy stalks Pompus Cirillius III for a while to get a better idea of his schedule. Creepy.  Pompus Cirillius III confuses Cronus, making him think that Pompus
[12:20:14] <DWMagus> Or at least a partial balance issue
[12:20:17] <Taiya> Cirillius III lives somewhere other than he does.   The leading players are Nozomi and Cronus.
[12:20:26] <Talvieno> what?
[12:20:44] <DWMagus> If RNG is not your friend, you can suicide because you're not getting any options to increase your happiness.
[12:20:51] <cuisinart8> nozomi, you bitch!
[12:21:22] <Talvieno> hmm, potentially, could look into that
[12:21:40] <DWMagus> Are actions a pass/fail or is there a spectrum?
[12:22:22] <Talvieno> depends on the action.
[12:22:56] <Talvieno> some actions are pass/fail, some actions always pass, some actions can fail, pass, be neutral, or pass have negative consequences
[12:22:59] <outlander> does joining in the middle of a game work?
[12:23:01] <Talvieno> no
[12:23:05] <Talvieno> took that out completely
[12:23:09] <outlander> ok :D
[12:23:14] <Talvieno> and probably won't try to fix it. there's just waaaay too much to deal with.
[12:23:24] <DWMagus> Good choice
[12:23:27] <Taiya> >>> Events in Turn 6: LorthumV sends some creds to Cronus's account as a gift. Cronus feels very grateful.  Democracy flies out and attacks Nozomi. Nozomi is caught completely unprepared, and takes heavy damage before she can get away.  Cronus does some legwork and manages to get LorthumV a small promotion. He is very grateful.  Nozomi sends some creds to LorthumV's account as a gift. LorthumV
[12:23:30] <Taiya> feels very grateful.  Democracy stalks Nozomi for a while to get a better idea of her schedule. Creepy.   The leading player is Cronus.
[12:23:38] <Talvieno> SCREW YOU DEMOCRACY
[12:23:45] <Talvieno> AND YOUR OPINION OF MY JOKES
[12:23:51] <cuisinart8> man, democracy's a dick
[12:23:53] <Talvieno> my jokes are awesome
[12:23:58] <Talvieno> yeah, he said my jokes sucked
[12:24:04] <DWMagus> You must think Democracy is a joke. :V
[12:24:10] <Talvieno> xD
[12:24:16] <cuisinart8> lol

Democracy feels very grateful.  Democracy flies out and attacks Nozomi, but Nozomi sees him coming well before he arrives, and manages to jump to cruise mode just in time.  LorthumV does some legwork and manages to get Cronus a small
[12:26:08] <Taiya> promotion. He is very grateful.   The leading players are Democracy and Cronus.
[12:26:20] <DigitalDuck> Finally, a successful happiness event! I'm not going to commit suicide this turn! :D
[12:26:25] <Talvieno> xD lol

[12:27:20] <Talvieno> "like, oh, thanks for the creds, I want your ship too now"
[12:27:21] <DWMagus> Democracy is still not laughing.

[12:39:01] <Taiya> Being a handler of information, an explorer gains his greatest wealth through friendships... and that is exactly what LorthumV has accomplished here. Everyone depends on him for their well-being, and no one would ever dare lift a finger against him.

Re: Taiya's IRC-based RPG

#118
Day 28
Things are progressing smoothly. I've discovered a number of new bugs, and am working hard to fix them. If all goes well, as I'm hoping, I should be able to start kicking out major progress towards the final version soon. Over the past couple of days I've managed to get out 100 new lines story text (think around 4k words) into her files. Most of the updates were to do with upgrading your hull, combat training with other people, and infamy-based self-actions. While all classes have their own infamy choice lines now, researcher is probably my favorite, because by the end of the game they can go full-on mad scientist. :) There's a whole new list of mad scientist projects they can take on. (Or, "mad engineer", as some would have me put it. :ghost: )

Most notably, I suppose, I've fixed bugs where Taiya would drop the game on disconnect, and (hopefully) fixed a major threading-related bug.

Taiya currently has 4410 lines of code, total, in her RPG... and it's only going to continue expanding from here. It'll be her single largest feature by a great deal... but I figure it ought to be worth it in the end. I'm learning a great deal about game balance and dealing with user feedback from this, and getting a lot of coding knowledge from it too.

Patched since last update (ver 0.23.11):
Spoiler:      SHOW
ADDED:
  • Added a list list of "prank items".
  • Added a list of "doomsday devices".
  • Taiya will now properly report ties from winning.
  • Taiya will now show who caused a specific death, if applicable.
FIXED:
  • Fixed a weird garden gnome bug Cuisinart8 found.
  • Taiya will no longer drop games if disconnected midgame.
  • Fixed a bug which was preventing five separate With actions from ever being presented.
  • Fixed a bug where Taiya wasn't implementing self-action friendship correctly.
  • Fixed it so that taiya will finally let you start games from #LTRPG.
  • Found and (hopefully) fixed an obscure threading problem causing Taiya to freeze games.
  • Fixed a major typo in the lookup/show info segments.
TWEAKED:
  • Made it so that the "argument" With action won't show up as much for friendly characters.
  • Show Info's "Masterful" is now "Perfect"
Total game progress: approximately 82% Complete (+5% fixes)

Re: Taiya's IRC-based RPG

#119

Code: Select all

<Taiya> Okay! I'm starting the game. The current characters are: taiya, Leon, Haste, Andrew Rice, and muhaha.
[...]
<Taiya> taiya has been killed. As an escort, it wasn't entirely unexpected in her line of work. (she was killed by muhaha.)  Silver has been eliminated.
[...]
<Taiya> Andrew Rice has been killed in combat, fighting over control of some dusty rock somewhere. It's sadly the eventual fate of many such leaders. (he was killed by muhaha.)  cuisinart8 has been eliminated.
[...]
<Taiya> Leon has been killed. Sadly, this is the #1 leading cause of death in explorers. Protect your natural resources, people! (he was killed by muhaha.)  DigitalDuck has been eliminated.
[...]
<Taiya> Dinosawer[mobile] has won by friendship!
<Taiya> While spies are rarely the most talkative of people, muhaha is a rare exception - a true diamond in the rough. Always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need, she is counted on and trusted by all - and no one would lift a hand against her in anger.
<Dinosawer[mobile]> wat
How to make friends: kill everyone! :ghost:

Re: Taiya's IRC-based RPG

#120
I know there haven't been any solid updates for about a week, and really, there's two reasons for that:

1. The DF succession game Hawkspears took up most of my free time. It was my turn, after all. :)
2. I'm up against a pretty big threading problem. Threading is important for Taiya, because she needs to be able to prioritize messages to IRC/game messages/RSS reading/forum spambot banning. She already has a number of threads she uses, and for some reason, it seems the RPG thread is "hanging" on occasion, effectively ruining a game. It's critical that I figure this out - I can't proceed until I do.
