Greetings All,

I'm gonna take a moment to run down where Revel Immortal is, and our plans concerning the Spring Update.


0.20 Release

As you may have seen in the previous update we rolled-out version 0.20; it took overly long to prepare due to a number of new quests in Garranshall; and new staging for Shadowlith.

A notable complexity was adding server features so that we can work on Shadowlith, while regularly updating and making sure that nobody accidently wanders into it. Shadowlith is the first full-version only region in Revel Immortal.

Our focus for the forseeable future is enrichment of Garranshall (new quests, enemies etc.); and production of Shadowlith and additional full-version content.

Thanks to the effort of myself and writer Kevin Elliott we are currently ahead of schedule on the production of Shadowlith.

From this week until 3/31 we will be focused on creating the NPCs, Quests, Enemies in that region.


Deadline Push-up

Instead of our initially proposed date of May 1 for release, we are instead shooting for April 15th.


Version Format Change

Due to a recent issue concerning our version format (0.1 through 0.20); and the semi absuridity of it; we will be using a single integer version number from now on; with an associated project stage of 'Alpha, Beta, etc.' to denote solidity of imposed features and completeness of overall content.

Servant of the Lord

Reminds me of Minecraft, when alot of non-programmers were saying, "After version 0.9 must mean the next version is 1.0 - the full release!"

And the developer was like, "No, after 0.9 comes 0.10..." :)

Versioning is confusing to non-programmers.

Yeah it's a pain overall; and one I only held to given historical tradition.

But now it just makes sense to increment a single number, especially consdering Revel would unikely ever see a 'major' version increment over 1 (there is too much psycological signifigance to 'version 2' etc.)

With a single number at least folks realize 'higher is better' smile.png
