The 3D Editor is available in Mac and Windows flavors, so it's useful either way. Check it out here.

EDIT: Which reminds me that it's about time to prod KernelKnowledge again.

That would be a great answer if all of the digable area is supposed to look exactly the same. If so, I highly recommend that. If not, then you're stuck checking locations.

Shaper hypocrisy vs. Shaper tragedy (SPOILERS) in Geneforge Series
Off With Their Heads
Member # 4045

You know, it's not a pure dichotomy between "serviles as slaves doing work for the shapers" and "serviles doing nothing for the shapers." People do work because they get paid (or, more generally, get some reward).

Also, I was under the impression that employing the death penalty on the mentally retarded is even more controversial than the death penalty itself is. Human beings with the intelligence of a battle alpha "go rogue" sometimes, and we have serious moral qualms about just killing them.

I will fully admit that I haven't read this whole argument, but if one side is arguing that creations are essentially non-individual and replaceable, like ants or bees or something, then that argument seems plainly false. Serviles (and drakons and others) are clearly individual in ways that are not easy to replicate — how would you propose making a copy of Learned Darian? Shaping something with similar traits is not replacing the actual servile; to say so is like asserting that identical twins are, in fact, two of the same person.

And if you're claiming that thinking, individualized beings are easy to replicate and therefore have no personal value as living things, then in what way does that not apply to humans?

My understanding was that the essence of the GF dilemma is that serviles and people are exactly the same, save that serviles were deliberately created at one point and people just evolved or something. Serviles (and drakons) are no more machines than humans or shapers are.

Yes. The phrase "could care less" is entirely wrong and senseless, and I've heard that it damages your potency, too.

Seriously, it's one of the worst errors I've ever heard, bad because it makes no sense and worse because it's very common.

As far as WKS, though, he'll be back in a couple of weeks if he wants, so it's not that big a deal.

1) Ignore TM.

2) As was said, start very small. Start with, like, the smallest part of the story that you can and make that first. It will suck, but that's okay, because it's your first scenario.

The number of states could be fairly large (say, in the low-double-digit powers of ten), given the processing power of most computers right now. Heck, since one would only have to create the lookup table once and the only computing required after that would actually be using the lookup table, the number of states could be quite high indeed.

We're still talking many, many orders of magnitude simpler than chess, but pretty complex nonetheless.

As I recall, I once complained about bad AI in Lost Souls. It's possible that RW's main game-design problem was that his AI's were not I.

Hey all testers,

This weekend ended up being a lot more hectic than I anticipated. Somewhere this week I'm going to try to find time to respond to comments and fix up a new version.

You can feel free to keep playing and send me notes, though. I think I've heard from four people since the latest version, which means that about half of you have sent me nothing in the past couple weeks.

Those who are waiting for a more polished, releasable version, you may be waiting until September.

Is it really the case that GC is extremely easy, as people were saying four years ago? I've never played it, although I've intended to, just for laughs.
