The Wallasalking is happening Stu, we NEED these arrows.

New skill: Wallasalking.

Earn Wallasalking XP every time you sneak up behind someone and say "I am the walrus" at them.

Alternatively, it could be a collectible card game. Tragic: The Wallasalking.

Then Mod Abe also deserves all the love in the universe. Though the humor and writing styles are so similar I’m now convinced Abe is just you from an alternate timeline.

We both seem to have been 'blessed' with a RuneScapey sense of humour. It's been a great match and lovely working together!

Thank you - I'll pass on your message to Mod Abe!

Twitch chat gets all the blame for "wheeze wax".

"Vis", to rhyme with "fleece". I don't make the rules. I just nitpickedly enforce them. #BlameLatin

It’s a Mod Stu update, it was almost certainly Mod Stu who is beloved and cursed for his sense of humor. He’s also just generally a very fun guy to interact with and deserves all the love in the universe.

Thank you kindly!

I should emphasise, though, that this was a two-dev project, and Mod Abe is responsible for most of the dialogue and his fair share of the examines.

TL;DR The puns are not entirely my fault! (Though there's about 8k words of text in this update, so that's a lot of puns either way.)

(And this particular examine is one of my faults.)

Using a cattle prod.

Is this where one of the background images that shows up on the mobile login screen is from??? I've always wondered where that screenshot was from. Crazy to think there's been a brand new tutorial for mobile users in the game for like a year and I didn't even know it existed lol. Comped btw xD

Precisely. That Davendale. :)

Huh! Weird. It works for me on multiple (non-JMod) accounts.

Shout-out to Mod Abe (who you can also thank for Tortle Combat). He wrote most of our dialogue! (And his fair share of the examines.)

Davendale, currently the tutorial primer for accounts created on mobile. Here's a pre-release Stutorial slideshow if you're morbidly curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0RqHwN05Hk&t=1280s

Ok, now you just need to turn this whole experience into a quest!
Player: "Why can't I take one of these as a pet?"
Granny: "...You don't want to know"
Player: steals like 10 of them "I'll sell these as unobtainable pets...I'm gonna be rich!"
Cue cutscene loosely based on the above screenshot of them running amok and damaging your pof

Ship it.

Makes me wonder if someone could place a family of innocent NPCs enjoying lunch on a beach somewhere...

This reminds me of when the dog/Bartok gets turned inside out during The Fly II (spoilers - for a movie that's 33 years old).

But granted my video tape was pretty stretched from repeat viewing.

Anyone knows if you can get a skilling pet from these activities?

Yes, all the skilling methods we've added in this update have skillpet, strange/golden rock and (if on Anachronia) Roar of Osseous:

  • gathering, incubating and boiling good/bad eggs
  • carestyling (cut and/or dry)
  • feeding baby rexes at the 4 troughs
  • burning Potterington Blend #102 Fertiliser into dinosaur 'propellant'
  • imbuing dinarrows with resonant anima

Oooh, that's a very cool tool! Thanks for sharing. :)

Is that putting the cache assets through an industry-standard tool like Maya, or a bespoke anim viewer?

Earlier today, a player asked if they might be able to get the berrysaurus/branasaurus/beanasaurus/rootlesaurus featured in today's update as pets.

You are right about players not liking pets that cannot run, there were lots of complaints that pets would lag behind and teleport to the player.

I had a look into it, but nah.

While they use a similar rig, the T-Bone anims were built around a bunch of dino bones magically bound together, and the visual gags that provides.

So for example, T-Bone's run animation drags the bones out over about twice the dino's usual length. Consequently if used on the regular baby tyrannosaur, their flesh stretches out like it's made of rubber.

I leave the details of that transaction with you. I can only hope you'll be a responsible parent.

Yes - Jas dragonbane arrows are essentially high-level dragonbane arrows.

Not a chance.

We focused our efforts on the bane types players actually use.
