January 2013 Final Status Report

[Azerax]

January has been a very interesting month, M&F was unofficially announced, and Solari began work on the mobile site again.  It should be mentioned that aside from Tom, no BM development resources are working on M&F.

January's overall status: Green

January2013 Goals:
Continued Doctrine Conversion - In Progress
Test the New Message System on all islands - Evaluating Feedback
Continued Facebook updates - On-going
Embedded IRC Chat - Live
Food Balance Tweaking - On-going

Items Not Planned:
Mobile Site Development - in progress

Notes:
Here's some specific details on the Doctrine Conversion:

Primarily: Doctrinifying the guild/religion turn script.

A major part of this is, as I posted the other week, overhauling religion spread so that it's not so absurdly counterintuitive.

I will also be doing my best to ensure that there is no chance of the total religious belief in a region going over 100%, as happened earlier and caused so many problems.

For time reference, I would guesstimate that the work I've put in so far on the Doctrinification of this script has taken at least 15-20 hours.

Once I have the turn script Doctrinified, I will be going through and Doctrinifying the remaining Guild pages, and then the various Priest pages. At this point we will be able to do away with the old-style code in guilds.inc, replacing it entirely with Doctrine-friendly code.

As always, questions and comments are appreciated!

Cheers,
Scott
