Companions 2.0 Info · on 09/23/2011 03:27 PM CDT 1084
You know me. Everything is better with a 2.0 after it.

What follows is a LITTLE bit of information, as much as I can say at the moment. This in no way encompasses the totality or anywhere near that of the revised companions system.

- Companions WILL include a quest to acquire them; scope will be expanded.
- Companions WILL NOT be acquired as babies and develop into adults.
- Companions WILL however have an "age" component in some fashion.
- Companions WILL NOT become senile and die.
- Companions WILL NOT get lost and die because they couldn't find somebody or similar.
- Companions WILL require some minimal attention to ensure maximal potential.
- Companions WILL hunt for their own food, but may or may not achieve maximal potential (see above).
- Companions WILL be able to be fed (see above two).
- Companions WILL NOT instantly die from bad food.
- Companions WILL grow over time in prowess naturally and through training.
- Companions WILL include raccoons and wolves.
- Companions WILL MOST LIKELY include additional beasts.
- Companions WILL NOT include non-natural beasts nor monsters / critters.
- Companions WILL have abilities. Abilities WILL be trained. There WILL be some kind of cost.
- Companions WILL teach various skills through interaction with them.
- Companions WILL NOT be combat pets except through a cyclical spell.
- Companions WILL NOT have such cyclical spell developed upon initial release but WILL be added later.
- Companions WILL be able to find others with similar restrictions as now (the tracking bit).
- Companions WILL be far more diverse.

This is about all I can afford to tell now.

Companions may or may not be released by Christmas. All I can say is the feature list is quite long, I won't be doing a partial release based on that list, and I am fully working on them at at least 90% as of now. It is nearly impossible for me to make feasible estimates at this time.
