So. Eskil finally added Monitor Lizards (see Twitter if you don't believe me). But we now have another one of those newfangled concepts that Eskil talks about on podcasts: Infuse. Once upon a time, it was described that players would be able to use matter mixes for a duration on themselves, possibly in the form of dive gear. Well, the dive gear option is out, but we still get the results. It'll possibly involve the yellow tribe. I'd prefer to be able to do it ourselves, but that's a different matter. Eskil's making progress, and that's what counts.

Eskil has put out a barebones release. No, that's not a link to Monitor Lizards. All jokes aside, this release should have a lot of the features highlighted in the podcast (see old post). As always, we'll be on teamspeak (teamspeak.quelsolaar.com:9987) to field any immediate questions and friend account requests. The fun starts here.

EDIT: not yet. as of 4 pm. Central time Eskil has screwed up the release and you can't play. I'm sure it'll be fixed later tonight (my guess is around midnight?)

EDIT: as of 1 am-ish, Eskil made a fix, so you can actually log in and play, but it's still a bit...difficult. Some issues with icons and colored tokens for now.

EDIT: Around 12:00 AM Monday (American Central time) Eskil made a server-side fix, that should make everything playable again, minus the icons. Tokens should be visible and present again.

Hey guys, had a good talk with Eskil today about the (unheard of) Upgrade system. Expect a server and client release tomorrow (for America, Today for EU, and Yesterday for those time travelling NZ/AUS people....). This sounds like a good thing. That persistent pod inventory will finally see fruition. Anyway, here were the notes i took:

You unlock tools one by one
unlock tokens every few minutes
after all tokens are unlocked, you start getting slots
you get slots for DOING things.... (whhhhaaatttt)
everyone goes through once, then experienced players are done.

saved mixes
pick up a triple mix, hit "save" and it's in your tab menu
cooldowns - probably 5 minutes.
can have more than one of same type
pod slots - 256 max WHATTTTTTTTTTT
so screw ups aren't that big of a problem
pods are persistent in "inventory", Server restarts wash them away. (for now)

Podcast 8 is now live! We talk about Eskil's absence while at GDC, moonlighting, and the current and pending state of Love, in a RAW and unedited 2 hour extravaganza of manners and being polite. Until we get tired of that shit mid-way through and relax. Text-ins were finally implemented in this episode, for all of you non-talkers and listeners out there. Join us on teamspeak next time. I will post announcements in the Steam Group, "Modern Lovers." In addition, Monitor Lizards have leveled up and learned the new ability, "Ice Cream Encapsulation." Enjoy :D

Since Eskil's Teamspeak server is down, we are currently using the Love in Verses Teamspeak server until Eskil stops being a jerk (puts the server back up). The ip is loveinvers.es and the port is 9987. Feel free to join us there.

There's a good journal-styled review of Love that deserves mention. It's always nice to see how other people experience the game for the first time. I'm looking forward to the rest of it being released.
