On the Lordlegacy.com web-site's news page, Michael Preslar announced sometime
in October I think that new work was being done on the LORD v4.08 beta
programs. Nothing was said about how anyone can get the beta compilation
archives to use. I've got questions about what has
been fixed in the games, and would like to know some answers to them.
1. How can we get the betas? The old
[email protected] email account no
longer exists, so it can't be used. Which begs the question of whether LORD
betas are going to be available to the public or not.
2. What problems from the September 2006 compilations of DOS LORD v4.08 beta
and LORD/32 v4.03 have been fixed so far? Has the bug where *any* purchase of
any armour, regardless of its number/cost, results in the player's defense
points jumping to 32,000?
3. Which BBS's are being used for testing the new compilations so that those
like me who are interested can see for ourselves if problems we know about have
been fixed - or not?
4. Besides myself and Michael Preslar, is there anyone these days who is
actually doing LORD programming?
5. Has anyone heard anything in the last year or so as to what happened to
Joseph Watson and his WT-Lord igm programs development work? His site has the
appearance of being on auto-pilot sometimes, so its hard to tell if he is still
around or not.
Two Non-Lord questions. 1: How many BBS door games are still being developed
besides the LORD games, and Dennis Collins's in-progress Sorcerer door game?
2: Since Sean Dennis is not going to be moderating any echoes for awhile, who
is going to take over moderation of the DoorGames and Lord echoes?
