| − | '''02-18-08''' Just a friendly note -- if you send me a message via the contact form, please, please make sure your email address works. There are a couple of people out there who forgot their passwords, but I can't contact you because your email address isn't working.<br><br> | + | '''06-01-20''' [[The Wok of Stars]] is the spot for [[spotter monocular|spotting]] this month.<br><br> |
| − | '''02-17-08''' The chat channels have been condensed. Channel 1 is Newbie, Fun, and Games. So that's great for asking basic questions, and for goofing around. Channel 2 is Gameplay and Trade. That's for more game-related conversations, spoilers, and financial transactions.<br><br> | + | '''05-07-20''' Added another way to get [[memory tube]]s for the [[C.H.I.P.S. (Casino Heroes Investigate Purported Scandal)|casino quest]].<br><br> |
| − | '''02-16-08''' One more summoning item has been added to the Pouch of Lost Things. This won't be a regular occurrence, just something I'd been meaning to put in.<br><br> | + | '''05-01-20''' [[The Wok of Stars]] calls for aid. Well, it's more calling for stars to help you [[mayday bell|call for aid]]. But you get the idea.<br><br> |
| − | '''02-14-08''' The /who command now works. It will show you anyone who is in chat (or has been in the last 60 seconds ... may not be more precise than that). I anticipate demands for a /hide or /lurk option almost immediately. This will cost you $10. :P<br><br>
| + | '''04-12-20''' Today, a [[Easter|chocolate bunny]] has brought eggs and crafting recipes for all the heroes of Twilight.<br><br> |
| − | '''02-10-08''' There's another leaderboard--heh--with the other boards on the Star-Board Port. Heh.<br><br> | + | '''04-01-20''' Happy April! I'm sure [[April Fool's Day|nothing strange]] is happening today.<br><br> |
| − | '''02-09-08''' On the wear page you can click the equipment category (helmet, gloves, etc.) to jump to that section of your inventory. When you're down below you can click the category name to jump back to the top. Interfacilicious!<br><br> | + | '''04-01-20''' It's [[Nunya business suit|business time]] at [[the Wok of Stars]].<br><br> |
| − | '''02-05-08''' If you have a full Pouch of Many Lost Things, it can be dumped out all at once rather than clicking multiple times.<BR><BR> | + | '''03-28-20''' High level heroes can now talk to the police to begin [[Who Stalks the Stalkers|the Stalker Quest]]. Like the [[Asylumbreak! Battle of Shiloh|Mad Scientist Quest]], this will be added in stages, so it can't be completed yet.<br><br> |
| − | '''02-04-08''' Chat has /whois, /exit, and /help commands. Details, as always, in the manual. (Which, by the way, is probably a better resource than /help.)<BR><BR> | + | '''03-26-20''' In real life, Opening Day is postponed. But don't let that stop you from beating up some [[Frank's Ballpark|baseball-themed badguys]].<br><br> |
| − | '''02-03-08''' There's a money changer in the casino so you can convert your chips into items. Mostly this is designed in order to hide your wealth if you so choose, so I can change the character page back to show chips again. This may also be beneficial for those who tend to mis-click on expensive items in the Auction House.<BR><BR> | + | '''03-08-20''' Despite the defeat of the Daylight Saver, time continues to wobble along its course.<br><br> |
| − | '''02-02-08''' Space station construction continues apace for those who have unlocked it. And for those who haven't, if you meet certain criteria Susan Novak will give you a hint.<BR><BR> | + | '''03-01-20''' The [[marching baton|march of time]] has resumed and nowhere is that more apparent than [[the Wok of Stars]].<br><br> |
| − | '''01-31-08''' Feb's item of the month is in the Wok of Stars in Somerset Square.<BR><BR> | + | '''02-29-20''' Twenty... ninth? Sounds like [[Leap Day|the work]] of the nefarious [[Daylight Saver]]!<br><br> |
| − | '''01-30-08''' The "searching for U.I.T." effect is now called the "T.a.I.L.o.R." effect. Because it's funnier. The "amulet of corruption" is now called the "corrupt amulet". Not because it's funnier. The "reinforced harness" is now called the "sturdy harness" because it's less misleading. Might as well get all that out of my system at once.<BR><BR> | + | '''02-14-20''' Happy [[Villaintine's Day]]!<br><br> |
| − | '''01-29-08''' Yesterday's glitch seems to have spawned a higher-than-normal amount of attempts to cheat. Just a reminder, folks: multi-abuse will get you deleted. If you've got more than one character, they're not supposed to interact with each other.<BR><BR> | + | '''02-12-20''' New talismans in [[the Wok of Stars]] offer insight into the inner lives of [[Death's dark feather|teenagers]], [[Eldritch's arcane annulus|sidekicks]], and [[Sweeper's curled rock|teenaged]] [[Favorite's untouchable apple|sidekicks]].<br><br> |
| − | '''01-28-08''' I made a small but disastrous error which gave everyone millions of chips. I had to roll everyone's chips back to their total from last night at rollover. Everything else should be untouched. I'm working on ways to try to be fair to anyone who may have lost chips because of this.<BR><BR> | + | '''02-08-20''' The last few years of items can now be listed in the [[International House of Auctions|House of Auctions]].<br><br> |
| − | '''01-26-08''' Some changes to the auction house. Sellers can delist an item if nobody has bid on it yet. However, sellers can no longer bid on their own auctions. They can, however, take an item at the buy-it-now price, if one has been specified. Also, there are now minimum bid increments in the auction house, as a function of price--I'm skeptical they'll help much, but a lot of people asked for them, so I've added them. The minimum increase is shown in the Notes column on the right.<BR><BR> | + | '''02-05-20''' The forums should be back up. Let me know if there are any problems.<br><br> |
| − | '''01-22-08''' There's protection in the Rock Paper Scissors code so that if you accidentally click away in the middle of a game you can return to the casino and finish the game. That's better treatment than most non-seedy casinos will give you!<BR><BR> | + | '''02-04-20''' There's a forum update in progress for a day or two.<br><br> |
| − | '''01-21-08''' Long rollover tonight, while the tech support guys make a change and reboot the server. Probably will last 20 minutes or so.<BR><BR> | + | '''02-01-20''' Get [[2020's hindsight glasses|tomorrow's hindsight]] today at [[the Wok of Stars]]!<br><br> |
| − | '''01-21-08''' There's a new store in the rooftops for those who have it unlocked. Might be a handy option for some folks.<BR><BR>
| + | '''01-10-20''' There's actually a surprising amount of [[Snow day|snow]] coming up.<br><br> |
| − | '''01-19-08''' It's been a cruel, cruel winter, and apparently that's made me a cruel, cruel game designer. One of the necessary ingredients for today's mystery puzzle wasn't dropping properly, and I missed it. I can't tell you how bad I feel about this. The new item is available from a man with a sword--either of two different men with swords, actually. I'm giving an extra hour to everyone at rollover for some wasted turns.<BR><BR>
| + | '''01-01-20''' New year means [[Father Time's scythe|new scythes]] at [[the Wok of Stars]]!<br><br> |
| − | Also, unrelated to this, each day will now start at 6 p.m. instead of 7. It's not giving you extra time, but it means you can squeeze in more turns before it's time for work, or not have quite so many pile up for Frayday.<BR><BR>
| |
| − | '''01-18-08''' Okay, so the item assembling puzzle is afoot! Remember the 48-hour no-spoiler rule, please. Also, the /r function in chat now works - it sends a PM to the last person you sent a PM to.<BR><BR>
| |
| − | '''01-16-08''' There's something new out there you can do with your computers. (Not terribly original, but new.)<BR><BR>
| |
| − | '''01-13-08''' If you've finished the university quest, Susan Novak is now visitable any time. She doesn't have much to say at the moment, though.<BR><BR>
| |
| − | '''01-13-08''' Your journal now has an other notes section to list some of your non-quest accomplishments.<BR><BR>
| |
| − | '''01-11-08''' A few leaderboards are now available in the Bayside area of town, at the Starboard Port.<BR><BR>
| |
| − | '''01-09-08''' Also just a little teaser: on Jan 18 (so rollover on Friday going into Saturday) I'll open up an in-game puzzle of sorts involving assembling a mystery item.<BR><BR>
| |
| − | '''01-09-08''' I've set it up so that auctions which go to their full duration also send the results (items or chips) to the appropriate parties via an in-game message. I don't intend to keep it this way permanently, but this gives me better record keeping to check for any bugs that may occur. If anyone notices any funniness (we're talking stuff that's not ha-ha funny), please let me know.<BR><BR>
| |
| − | '''01-07-08''' - They've been too small to announce individually, but more than a dozen new items and a few effects and whatnot have gone into the game over the last week or two. Mostly additions to older zones and recipes and such. Also, outboxes now display the name and picture of the sent item instead of just the item number.<BR><BR>
| |
| − | '''12-29-07''' - The way critical hits and fumbles are calculated (and described on items) has been changed.<BR><BR>
| |
| − | '''12-26-07''' - A number of foes have either elemental resistances or elemental weaknesses.<BR><BR>
| |
| − | '''12-24-07''' - Merry Christmas, everybody. I know I said I wasn't going to do it, but there's a little something waiting in your stocking for you.<BR><BR>
| |
| − | '''12-23-07''' - Fixed the bug where the wolf/buffalo weren't scaring each other off if someone else buffed you. Also caught a server clock issue that was causing auctions to end two hours prematurely.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''12-22-07''' - A small (but fun!) set of items/mechanic has been added.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''12-21-07''' - There's a new zone tucked away in there somewhere.<br><Br>
| |
| − | '''12-17-07''' - The game no longer burns a turn if you visit a place with nothing to do (like the beach when you can't go under water), or if you accidentally end up someplace you shouldn't be (double-clicking a choice adventure).<br><br>
| |
| − | '''12-14-07''' - The bugs causing you to be able to fumble when you shouldn't fumble should now be fixed.<br><br>
| |
| − | '''12-10-07''' - The 3-day auction has been returned to the auction house.<br><br>
| |
| − | '''12-02-07''' - The auction house has been updated to show a) auctions that you have running and b) open auctions for which you have the highest bid. The auction house also now shows how many bids an item has received.<br><br>
| |
| − | '''11-28-07''' - Fixed the bug that was preventing the main map from giving you any pending buffs.<br><br>
| |
| − | '''11-27-07''' - The level 5 quest has been implmented. See Rand for details.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''11-24-07''' - Rather than completely rewriting chat, I'm hoping I can adjust it incrementally. I've added multiple channels and reduced the font a little--hopefully both will make it seem less crowded.<br><br>
| |
| − | '''11-21-07''' - By popular demand the Auction House now sorts items in each category alphabetically. Additionally, auction durations have been shortened to 1, 3, 12, and 24 hours, and the estimated "time left" has been fine-tuned a bit. Also, caught a time bug which was causing evening auctions to end half a day early.<br><br>
| |
| − | '''11-19-07''' - Oh no! [[Captain Buzzkill]] has broken out of jail and is threatening the entire city with an unhappiness machine that he's set up in [[St. Anne Park]] in [[Downtown Twilight]]. Only you can help!<br><br>
| |
| − | '''Nov 18:''' There's now an FAQ section in the Game Manual.<br><br>
| |
| − | '''Nov 15:''' Terribly sorry, but a massive security hole blitzed everyone's inventory. I've had to roll back to last night, meaning anything since yesterday's rollover has been lost. I'll be sure to reinstate any donation items as soon as I can, but everything else will be lost, unfortunately. Again, my apologies.<br><br>
| |
| − | '''Nov 14:''' All of you who had computers stuck decrypting something should have been given the effect to get it unstuck. Please send me an in-game message if I missed you, or a very detailed message if it happens again.<br><br>
| |
| − | '''Nov 14:''' I posted in the [http://www.twilightheroes.com/forums/ forums] but forgot to mention here: rollover has been changed to 11:10 Eastern time (that's GMT -5, I believe). Yesterday, because of some issues with the server clock, it went off two hours early.<br><br>
| |
| − | '''Nov 8:''' Sorry to say this, but I had to put the game on pause until I can get the new servers going. I received 150 bug reports today, of which all but a handful were directly related to the lag, and the 500 errors are getting ridiculous. The longer I let this go, the more time I'll have to spend cleaning up screwy results, and I don't think anyone wants that. Hopefully it'll just be a couple of days, and then you can get back in and make up for lost time on the new servers. Thanks for your patience.<br><br>
| |
| − | '''Nov 8:''' Twilight Heroes: now with [http://www.twilightheroes.com/testimonials.php testimonials].
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''Nov 6:''' Sorry for the outage, folks. I wanted to try pushing a few changes that might reduce the load on the server. Not sure if it's going to help much, but it's worth a shot. Also, I've been alerted that the 500 errors are eating chips if you gamble. It's not going to be a quick fix, so please note for the moment that you're gambling at your own risk.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''Nov 6:''' Just wanted to affirm a couple of things. 1) I know the lag is horrible. I'm working on it. There's more in the [http://www.twilightheroes.com/forums/ forums] if you want details. 2) Please don't report slowness or 500 errors -- they're simply a side effect of the lag. 3) Chat is having lots of trouble and needs more channels -- it's my next priority after the lag. 4) I'm reading all other bug reports and messages, but they come in slowly, and for the most part, unless they're breaking the game I won't be able to do anything about them until after lag and chat are fixed, but I will read them at some point. Thanks for your patience and understanding!
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''Nov 2:''' Some foes now have elemental attacks, so you can put that elemental resistance to good use! Also, elemental resistance caps at 50% reduction.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''Oct 31:''' November's Item of the Month is available in the Wok of Stars in Somerset Square. For this month only, since it's a new thing, the IotM will remain in the store for two months (so through the end of December).
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''Oct 31:''' Hey, look! It's a web-based superhero computer game! In the style of such classics as Kingdom of Loathing, Galaxy of Fear, and Restaurant at the End of Las Vegas!
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | ''A Few Updates are missing here''
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''Sept 17:''' If all goes well, we're going to have a proper rollover tonight, with a forced logout and that most hated of all things known as maint.php.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''Sept 16:''' Talons of the Raptor has been significantly improved.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''Sept 15:''' There's a new area to explore in Bayside. (And before anyone asks, yeah, I'll try to rework the nav to fit it in.)
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''Sept 11:''' Clicking on an effect listed in the left-hand pane will now pop up a description of that effect. (Or a description of the skill, if the effect comes from a skill.)
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''Sept 11:''' A number of VR Center-related issues have been fixed.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''Sept 10:''' Getting beaten up now comes with the possibility of a few more serious consequences.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''Sept 9:''' A lot of foes have had their stats slightly retooled to fit a more balanced progression of difficulty. Foes at higher levels may be a bit tougher--not sure how noticeable the effect will be.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''Sept 8:''' There's a couple more late-night additions also listed in the same post below.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''Sept 8:''' I've made a number of small updates which are listed for brevity's sake on [http://twilightheroes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=798#798 this forum post].
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''Sept 5:''' Hey, sorry for the long slow quiet month and a half. I think I've got stuff in order so that I can start making progress again. Also, I'm setting a date for the game going beta: October 31, 2007. See [http://twilightheroes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=772#772 more details here].
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''July 16:''' Added roughly a metric ton (in other words, about 20) of foe and adventure images today. I think there's only one or two still missing images--if you see any that are broken, please let me know.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''July 10:''' A handful of foes got non-generic hit/miss messages today. In addition, a slightly larger handful of different critters got pictures today.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''July 9:''' Also caught a whole bunch of bugs that were probably keeping most skills that give effects from registering properly. These should all be fixed now.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''July 9:''' A bug in the sleeping draught is fixed. Also, I've been going through the foe and item descriptions, adding them where none existed and improving some of the weakest ones. I think I've gotten them all now, and I feel I can safely declare the game at a minimum 1% funnier!
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''July 2:''' Thanks to oodleook for catching that some of the healing skills weren't working. They should be fixed now.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''June 30:''' Also, I've changed my name again. (I know, because it wasn't confusing enough last time). I swear it's the last time though. Probably. Anyway, you can find me in-game or on the [http://www.twilightheroes.com/forums/ forums] as Ryme now.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''June 30:''' I'm done with the massive invisible updates. As far as I can tell, everything is working exactly the way it used to, but now with about one hundredth of the load on the server on pages where skills were involved. If anything seems to be working improperly, please let me know, but for now it ought to be safe to get back in the water.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''June 29:''' Good news: I fixed a bug that made every turn consume twice as much time as it should have. Bad news: I'm in the middle of a complicated changeover on the effects, and it's likely that things are really messed up right now. PLAY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''May 13 2007:''' I'm not done, but there are some penalties now for being beaten up.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | Also, as of rollover tonight, auctions older than 1 week old will be deleted. Once the game gets busy, I'll probably shorten this, but in the meantime that should be enough time to use as a reference.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | Also also: The Wear Things page is a bit more organized.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | Additionally: Lots of new foe pictures today, scattered all over the place.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | And finally: The "motorcycle helmet not existing in the game" oversight has been seen to. It's not exciting, but it's something on a Monday morning when there are big real-life things afoot.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''May 6 2007:''' The item descriptions are now properly randomized to discourage peeking.
| |
| − | In other news, happy birthday to me! I just hit six digits (in binary).
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''May 5 2007:''' There's some non-welding craftable stuff. See your workbench for details.
| |
| − | Don't kill yourself looking for recipes, though, as there probably aren't a
| |
| − | dozen working ones yet. More will come as quickly as I can think them up,
| |
| − | though.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''May 1 2007:''' Just made a ton of back-end coding streamlining adjustments to the site.
| |
| − | If all went well, you won't even notice anything. But as I touched nearly every
| |
| − | file in the game, if anything goofy shows up please let me know.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''April 29 2007:''' There's a couple of new items in the military surplus store that might
| |
| − | be worth playing around with (once you go back to your hideout). The content's a
| |
| − | little short on pictures and descriptions, but the functionality is good.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''April 17 2007:''' We can now accept donations through PayPal. Anyone who donates more
| |
| − | than $5 will receive a fun and useful in-game gift. See the Donate link in the
| |
| − | top navigation once you've logged in.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''April 17 2007:''' You can now also donate through Amazon.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''April 14 2007:''' Don't get too excited, but the first half of the computer creation
| |
| − | process stuff is active. You still can't do anything with computers, though.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''April 10 2007:''' While the player base is still small, I've added a "show all auctions"
| |
| − | feature to the auction house. This will probably go away later when the house
| |
| − | gets big, but for now it's probably useful.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''April 7 2007:''' As far as I know, all bugs related to the move have been fixed. If
| |
| − | anything isn't right, please let me know.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''April 7 2007:''' Chat's back up. There's a couple small bugs I still need to fix, but
| |
| − | nothing major. Consider the site back in business! Also, I had to wipe the
| |
| − | [http://www.twilightheroes.com/forums/ forums], and I've set them up so that you have to notify me (Ross) in-game after
| |
| − | you register so that I can let you in. It'll be a pain, but so was the spam.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''Mar 20 2007:''' And lo! a mighty wind did sweep over the Wear Things page, and the faces
| |
| − | of the powerful equipment became ashen, and were stricken, such that what should
| |
| − | not be worn could not be worn, and it was good.
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | (In other news, apparently in 12 years of web design I've never used
| |
| − | strike-through text, because I had to look up the HTML code to do it.)
| |
| − | <br><br>
| |
| − | '''Mar 20 2007:''' Just got finished adding some security measures. I think I've tested
| |
| − | everything, but if you run afoul of one of these checks it will force log you
| |
| − | out. Please let me know if you run into anything funny.
