It's here

JADE 0.1.0 has been released: http://www.adom.de/jade/downloads/ja.../download.html

Kinda surreal, eh? I'd given up on this happening a long time ago... Not sure what to say about the game itself - there's a whole lot of interface niggles, but the world map and town generator are exceptionally impressive.

TB has reopened the forums to new users, with the promise of moderators to control any spambots. Hopefully we won't get an overwhelming tide

Oh, and happy birthday Thomas! I'll see if I can find you a card made of JADE

This feels historic: My first JADE death. I collected 1467 points, 111 xp. I'm not sure HP regeneration is implemented yet. If it is, I feel dumb for just running around like a crazed hippo.

Looking forward to dying tens of thousands of times in the future. And now, going to bed, seeing it's almost 6am in the morning. Did he stay up to release this, or get up way too early?

EDIT: Holy shit, reading the JADE blog just gave me a roguelikegasm.

Just had my first death, too, in that foreboding dungeon thingy. I might have died because of a bug, after picking up all the items in the shop and dropping them (ADOM habits die hard) and killing a goodwife and a farmer I became overburdened but I could still move. Had a speed of 62, though.

Played one game and now it's time to sleep Looking forward to reading all your experiences of the forum

[gut]

didn't manage to die. I went straight to a minotaur maze like dungeon
and got about 5 minutes into it without finding stairs. I decided it would
be too much trouble to try to navigate my way back out, so just quit.
Jade is big, that is for sure. Maybe we will get auto-explore in 0.2.0.

SECOND TRY:
Found some different dungeons, fought a bit more. Got this message:
"Unimplemented process:choose ProfessionForLevelGain"

Tried the command 'ctrl-h' and got a laugh

One major difference in game play between adom and jade is the
buffering of keyboard commands. I held down the 4 key and had
to wait 30 seconds for the keypresses to all play out before resuming
travel.

Careful no items get dropped on your staircase. The 'alt-l' command
isn't implimented yet, so you will have a difficult time finding the
stairs again.

Hmm, shopkeepers and thugs cannot cross water, but I can...

Awesome! Everyone together:

TB is The Best!

(will go play now...)

EDIT: Played some. After a while, I found a potion! Unfortunately there is no drinking command :-/

Dammit awesome!

I wish I didn't get hungry in future versions either xD

My brother just explored the whole world, without ever eating. It took him 14 years. If only real cartography was this easy.

400th post, whoopee.

It's quite nice demo!

At last! This is a historic day!

Here is my first JADE game:

G?lniok, male mountain dwarven fighter
Score 2,840
1659 xps
2585 turns
Killed by an orcish brute.

I found the game very playable for a 0.1.0 version, actually! Of course there are features missing but many are there too. And it has the ADOM look and most of the commands which is always nice.

I think the most disrupting bug I have found is that when you pick up items your inventory weight goes up, but when you drop them it doesn't go down, so if you get Strained there seems to be no way to unstrain yourself.

Also, we need copy-paste functionality in the high-score list!

And have to leave my keyboard with the numeric keypad today, damn.
