    You'll realise why we aren't doing this with the limited time when you try, it's going to be a massive effort to get that working in an ergonomic way :)
    You're welcome, trust me there's been no hiatus from our point of view but I figured an update would help sort out the confusion people have been having.

    Read the post, this is the plan for now :)

    Yeah, we're thinking about what to do here. We aren't going to shut down the old game since that wouldn't be fair to anyone who wanted to play it, but yes I think it's a good idea to make a demo of the new engine. Only issue is that attempting to content limit it will backfire because the scripting systems could be used to recreate anything, so I think we'd have to go time-limited on it. This is the full game though, so I think people can deal with paying for it. If it just so happened to be on steam then there'd be no issues along the lines of "HELP! I AM FROM SOME COUNTRY NOT SUPPORTED BY YOUR PAYMENT SYSTEMS AND 12 YEARS OLD!" since steam wallet would let them get around that.

    The new collapses work on a new, better physics system than the old one. Trust me that they're much more realistic, do not leer to any side and squish you nicely. They also sync better because they're using entities, which means that they're more expensive to sync but much more reliable. As long as your server isn't about constantly collapsing everything it should be fine though.

    Hum, it's a new game, but it doesn't mean we'll have to pay a second time right ?

    One question: will TDM, swordfight and zombie mode be polished up after the release? Or will all work on the game cease immediately? If the former is the case, I don't see the need for a name-change unless you're considering it from a style POV.

    How will spawning work in the new WAR Mode? Will farming have something to do with getting more lives?

    Ooo, i like that idea AKF, Minecrafters can make the team more lives as they fights!
    15v15 game
    Both sides start with 50 extra lives
    Upgrade shops and set out to the new islands
    Fight a TON.
    Gather lives all game (Farming doesnt only have to be food in a game, you could have slower growing extra team lives, or this could be a mod)
    Over Take your enemy!

    That or this is all BS, and you have infinite lives as long as your port is around lol. Both ways work, i just like the idea AKF had.

    Btw... about the tech progression... do you mean like the way gabriel7080 does it?
    If you ever been in his server. He has something called age wars where u go from wood age, stone age, gold age... etc etc...
    Is that how its being done?
    EDIT: btw the gabriel im speaking of is Zer0... the one who really owns the server and always borrows gabriels account with the clan tag Hero, or Zer0.

    Yes! I've been on that server, it's awesome. Even if everything's OP and you progress insanely fast...
    New classes, animals, minecrafters FTW. :p

    Aw, now my dream of my very own "constantly collapsing everything everywhere forever 24/7" server will no be a reality. Oh well, fair trade for non-confusing-and-bullshit collapses.

    On a side note, I really hope multiplayer Zombie Fortress will be tightened up before release. I know I just said I liked how the devs where focusing the most on one really good game mode, but I feel like a co-op mode like Zombie Fortress should be implemented in a slightly less broken way.
