Hey i was just wondering, what is DROD: Architect Edition really?
Please don't tell me it's what i think it is, hehe. (it'd be very appreciated if it actually is a level editor)

Anyway, can someone fill me in with this? (what it is, when is it going to be released, etc).

- Thanx in advance.

What is it?

Like you said, it's a new version of DROD that incorporates a full-featured hold editor. After creating your very own dungeon of nightmares, you can export your levels and put them up for download and critique on the Architecture board.

When is it going to be released?

Very, very soon. Almost all the bugs have been ironed out, and it looks like we're only a few steps away from the final release. :D

Thanks sokko, that's nice to hear!

Now, have i ever missed on any early beta? or "they" (people leading the project) are just going to post it in the Downloads section when it's ready?

Again thanks, by the way are you working on this project? i just noticed you said "we" in your message...

if you are, good luck.

Its an open beta. If you want to get the lasted version go the bugs forum and you will find information there on the latest beta version.

Yes, there was some early beta stuff. We started with (I think) build 16, and now we're on Build 38, or so. It's actually in the "Bugs" section right now.

For your second question, I think we all feel like a kind of family, so the "we" probably referred to the DRODders. Most of us have done some testing, and Erik and Mike have done most of the bug squishing.

It's nice to see you don't feel like dying all the time.

But yeah, it'll be posted up ready to be downloaded as soon as I can work out what I've done to the headline. Note that I'm not convinced I'll work it out before the release of AE.

:D

Certainly a severe case of oxymoron...

You know, delete the 'oxy', and it still works!

Has anyone mentioned the support for multiple players? That's useful.

Matt

Multi-player DROD? How does that work without being trivially easy?

No, he means the fact that you can have several players each with individual saved games.
