It lacks any challenge, so I'm not too sad for those who exit early. I would've done the same. :)\r\rI still have to look into the availability issue. I guess it is caused by a DNS change I did a few months back.\r\r@inappropriatebeeguin:\rI implemented a minimap but dropped it, because it felt useless. May with 4 markers for the skulls, it would've helped.\r\r@Larry:\rI think I'm going to write something about in in the entries post-mortem. The current behavior is pretty simple. When no task is assigned, each minions iterates through the list of open tasks and search for one it could reach (pathfind to), then it assigns itself to this task and start moving towards it. Since it doesn't search for the closest one, this could lead to interessting behaviors."},{"author_name":"TeamQuadratic","author_uid":"18547","time":"Apr 27, 2015 @ 11:19pm","epoch":1430176440,"text":"It took me a while to figure out how to do anything, but once I figured it out this was pretty cool.
