Переведите с языка жабы, вроде на английском пишет, но я всё равно нихуя не понял. Сколько ему еще осталось сделать до того как он начнет работать над релизом в стиме?

The necessary map work I was set to do this week is now mostly completed. That included bandit and mercenary forts, merchant company counting houses, guildhalls, monasteries, and improved necromancer towers. The necros still need a bit of work, but overall it's in good shape. As usual, actually creating the maps and populating them brought various bugs and nonsense to the surface, some of it very old. I fixed the problems that I found, with the occasional collapsed roof and infinite pit to the underworld along the way.

We've also been convinced by this process that doing the map rewrite as part of the Big Wait is necessary. For instance, I was able to get guildhalls and counting houses to appear in non-player dwarf forts, but it was an iffy thing, and there are bandaids all over the place. The inability to extend map code smoothly is going to inhibit a lot of what we want to do with magic and beyond, so we'll definitely be tackling that. We were leaning that way anyway, since planes and portals and multiple cameras (e.g. seeing off-site dwarf battles while running your fort) are all pretty cool, but now it feels compelled. There are a ton of benefits to this, but the Big Wait will indeed be Big, even if the map rewrite is most of what we do at first.

(As a reminder, the Big Wait is the development time for the first myth/magic release. This will happen after the Steam/itch release, and after any immediate improvements that follow Steam/itch - candidates are listed on dev, like improved sieges, adventurer mode medical improvements, etc. The length is unavoidable due to the interlinking of systems, but we'll try to make it as short as we can.)

We'll be easing into adventure mode villainy now! Then to adv investigations, and fort mode. How we handle evidence and interrogation and so forth in adventure mode will directly inform how the player deals with villains in fort mode.
