Very kewl. Thanks for the enlightening update. Anyhow, the 2 class thing could still be an option for those who want to play "magic users."

By the way, talking about what we the devs are doing, today (Finnish time zone), August 24th, is the day when exactly eight years has passed since we started coding and IvanDev was founded. 8) With the same people, but with a different name and different project though. IVAN was started but half a year later, on April 8th 1999. And still we're going strong. With only brief one year breaks every now and then :)

You dudes rock!

Holybanana, Would it be difficult to introduce more screen sizes in the next version, or even make it so that we could "tailor-size" the size of the game by dragging with a mouse at the very edge of the game window?

can panic duration be reduced? or perhaps the time adjusted to fit the injury? (arms chopped off=1 hour; seeing powerful hostile monster=40 minutes, that sort of thing)

While this might be asking for a little much, how about introducing a couple powerful sentient weapons into the game? A +16 Justifier/Corruptor with an attitude? The weapon would mega-powerful, but it might also have charisma battles with you from time and time and refuse to fight. Also, I've a question about the new scarring system. If your character is completely healed, so the scar disappear. Or are all scars permanent?

I haven't done extensive testing, but I would think that if you have the same limbs, you have the same scars.

Freelance Berzerker- 08-24-2006

I see, so it's just an updated feature from the most recent unoffical IVAN release. I'm happy with that. Brings back memories of horribly scarred player characters from Arcanum.

can u guyz add joystick and mouse control? Iprefer playing the gamethat way

Freelance Berzerker- 08-25-2006

Maybe "bite" should be added as a weapon proficiency. After all, it seems to scale like every other skill. And our characters always manage to lose most of their limbs.

how bout some other races just human is boring

Freelance Berzerker- 08-25-2006

Id like to see the addition of some more elemental weapons. We have fire and lightning, what about ice?

Somagu- 08-25-2006

Then use wizard mode and stop complaining. While you're at it, stop posting in old stickies and spam posts.

g e l a t i n o u s . c u- 08-25-2006

Can you play any monster in Wizard Mode?

Somagu- 08-26-2006

Yes, just summon a monster and posess it, or polymorph into a monster for a long period of time.
