FFB Development Update XXII
WE GOT DA BOMB!
Encouraged by tester input I ended up adding the Bombardier skill after all. In the end the time spent for refactoring really paid up, as it has been nowhere as bad as I've believed before. The bomb can be thrown, intercepted, pass blocked, catched, thrown back (endlessly) and even Hail Mary Bombed (plus Diving Catched).
WhatBall has also been incredibly busy and besides providing me with bomb graphics, explosions and stuff he did a splash screen for each and every kickoff result. This is zoomed in and faded out on kickoff and looks really cool (and yes, there is also a rock thrown in at some point ;-).
With Bombardier and Ball&Chain the last missing skills have been added to the FFB Test version, so we are "feature complete" now. Some more bugs need to be fixed (Bombardier hasn't been released and tested yet) and I need to tackle that database migration.
That done we are ready for the 1.0 release. If no serious problems pop up until then we're now looking at a release in September (after the summer holidays).
Keep on gaming!

OMFG you rock so hard!
The splash image is awesome.
Any chance we can get that type of splash image with an injury? :D

Kalimar is the best. Thanks sir! \o/
@Synn: Good idea. I will work on some injury splash screens as well. I do still have to tweak a bunch of the kick-off results as some are quite generic for now.

Would be cool with specific screens for each injury, like broken leg and so forth, I am sure Synn can provide ample footage of mutilated limbs.

This is simply the greatest community on the internet and the level of contribution of many of its member puts my own involvement to shame.

For those interested in the updated Goblin icons that should accompany the new skills in version 1.0.0, you can check out pages 68 & 69 of the icon update thread here:

What a great job!
For those outside of the loop on testing, Kalimar and the team are putting a consistent high level of effort into the client and all of our fun. Whilst I’m attached loosely, I’ve had nowhere near the time to put in all of the hours most of the heavy testers have. It’s truly impressive.
Big hats off to all of you for pushing to make the client the best it can be. Community effort like this is why FUMBBL is top dog.

Saw on recent Blog list: tempted to rate 1 just to mess up the perfect score.
Read Blog Post: Cried tears of joy, was obligated to rate it a 6.

Someone rated this other than 6? They should be sought out and stoned!

(Well, I probably would if that wouldn't wake the kids and thereby deny my the chance to play Blood Bowl... but still! Awesome! Genial!)

Awesome stuff
And as a tester (sadly have only done a little of testing) I have been able to follow the work behind the scene. The tester really also deserve a cheer as they really put effort into testing and trying to break what Kalimar and Co. put out of the client.
Great job!

Yep, definitely. A BIG hand for the testing crew \o/

Wow. How do i rate seven or eight? That's absolutely awesome.
Posted by WhatBall on 2012-07-28 01:50:07
Forgot about Throw a Rock, then got it first kick-off. Awesome! It hit a Strig Lord right in the head and stunned him.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
When will the testing phase end? When will be able to pass block and bomb again?

Ahem. Pass Block can't be used against bombs.
Posted by WhatBall on 2012-07-29 20:42:48
Actually, Pass Block can be used against bombs. As the rules state, "All skills that may be used when a ball is thrown may be used when a bomb is thrown also."
Posted by Vesikannu on 2012-07-29 20:49:13
Yes, but Pass Block says "when the opposing coach announces that one of his players is going to pass the ball (but not a bomb)."

Posted by WhatBall on 2012-07-30 03:57:03
Ok, fair enough. Odd place to hide it. It should also be mentioned under Bomabardier where they state you can use all pass related skills. Poorly written rules...
Posted by WhatBall on 2012-07-30 18:45:38
The PB issue has been fixed. Thanks Vesikannu.
