New Anathema Character Management - Anathema Reincarnated

[TheSly9]

Bump for update! How goes it on the project? Hope you hard workers had a happy holiday season!

[joshopotamus]

just looking to see if any new info is out about this platform. Not trying to rush just hoping you all are good and that this baby is still chugging along

[Arian Dynas]

Well, I have good news and bad news. Good news! I understand Exalted Devs more than ever before! Bad news! I understand releasing EX3 more than ever before!

So, it seems the Christmas release was optimistic, largely because of a hiccough concerning JavaFX, (our programmer had a moment; "This is horrible and doesn't constrain to logic! I'll use another program!
("Augh! This is even less logical and more horrible! I'll try another! This is just as bad! Screw it, I'll go back to the original because at least that worked, even if it was horrible and illogical")

So, considering that most of you don't care a whit about that, I've got this!



Enjoy your sneak preview of our UI. Don't mind the mac stylings. Knai just had to replace his PC with a MAC he got cheap, so... it'll still work on PC though. Works fine on mine.And now it'll work on MAC too.

That looks awesome! Glad to hear this project is still continuing.

[Arian Dynas]

We aim to please the eye.

This sounds like an elaborate Sidereal ploy because one was a mac user the whole time.

Of course not.

And you never asked that question.

/waves his hand.

This looks spectacular! I'm super impressed visually!

This is probably too detailed to get into at this point, but if you're willing to answer, does Anathema support unusual setups like The Burning Name, where a merit creates a unique attack based on an Occult die pool?

[Kyman201]

Oh hey, great to hear from you again. And no worries about the delay, take the time you need. The only delay I wager most of us won't be alright with is "Yeah, we're dropping the project, it's cursed". That'd make me sad (but not angry) at least.

Been looking forward to seeing this released ever since it was announced and the teaser image has me pretty hyped! You mentioned that the Christmas release was optimistic, is there any chance you could make another release assessment? I know what it's like to expect to be done a programming project and then get caught up on the weirdest things. You know what they say, "he first 90 percent of the code accounts for the first 90 percent of the development time. The remaining 10 percent of the code accounts for the other 90 percent of the development time."

Seeing the teaser image is like looking at Richt's updates about the Deluxe Edition Core.

[Gonzo]

Keep up the good work! Me and my players cheer your efforts!!!

Well, as things stand currently... that's a difficult question to answer, actually. I mean for instance we're going to try and have support and combat tracker interhook between PC charms and... basically everything. (As I am sure you can imagine, yes, beta testing will be invaluable, thanks in advance guys.)

You have no idea how right you are about that. As far as ETA to open beta... well it's basically on a wait and see kind of point right now, but thankfully should be something functional by the time Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wilds comes out.

What? You mean you don't mark your calendar by such things?

Fine, fine, probably sometime mid Feburary.

I'd be happy to help Beta it for you. I got a few other STs I know who are keen as well. Maybe we can setup a gdoc or something similar to share bugs/finds?

Actually part of the idea is it's going to be an open beta, with a location to report bugs. We don't expect very many, but we know it'll take some work to get kinks out.
