Questing Quests

Anno Maidplay Vibeless (Cheshire)

“Sorry, boss! Still cleaning up this mess…”

Well, that was a fun, wasn’t it?

Things seem to be getting back to normal around FenCo., slowly but surely. The forums are still very much a work in progress, so bear with us while we get those into shape. And by we I mostly mean our Lord and Savior Gedan, who has done an ungodly amount of work putting out the many raging fires that the old site getting sucked into a black hole caused. Seriously, if you haven’t already, take a moment to say thanks to our local dragon-coder.

Anyway! I’ve been working away on the next big dungeon (KaraQuest) while the site was coming down around our ears. Ended up re-writing about half of it — pretty much the entire introduction and outro, and generally adding a lot of stuff throughout. It’s almost as big as Queen Taivra’s Palace now, which is pretty fucking big. Got two last scenes to poke at and then the ever-fun process of editing to churn through (though based edit-bro Johnathan Roberts did a whole lot of that for me)! So right now, we’re looking at something like seven different enemies (including a repeat appearance of Shade, this time with some serious backup) and a couple unique bad-ends. Plus blowing yourself up with a nuke, I guess — that technically counts, right?

Probably a nil chance of the dungeon being in a patch this month, but hopefully soon! Next week, I’ll be restarting SyriQuest and getting ready to move my favorite puppyslut over to the next planet, Uveto. Speaking of which, there’s a planet design doc for Uveto up on the forum (in Event Submissions). Go check it out if you’re interested!

Oh, wait, The Phantom Pain comes out next week. Uhh, maybe the week after, then 😛

Might as well christen my first new-blog post with probably my favorite piece of CheshireCat art ever. Holy shit hnnngg. (There’s also a vibe alternative if you snoop around her FA!)


Shut Up And Read My Submission!

shutUpAndReadSubmissionNope! I did a bunch of them over the last week. With all the confusion, I don’t think I mentioned the new oral scenes for Carrie that Nonesuch wrote or the three new Renvra scenes by Zeikfried that I coded in. And that’s on top of all the bounty board stuff that got in the 0.6.2 release.

I’m going to take a step back from other people’s writings to whip up a shopkeeper for the Myrellion DMZ. That planet is sorely in need of energy weapons and shield belts, so she’ll fill both needs. She’ll also be a furry for those who like that (or hate it). I needed to do something that didn’t involve chitin for a change.

CoC, FoE, & TiTS Status: Back Up For Play and Download

urta_avatarIt is as the title says. They’ll open up in a new tab for play. I’ll have links to the android/iOS versions up shortly.

We’ll probably be sticking with this theme for a while, and we already know about the bug with the chat/wiki links not working. It’s an issue I’ll need Geddy to help me solve.

Big thanks to Geddy for logging a huge amount of time getting the server up and running (and configing software, and dealing with my clueless ass).


What’s Goin’ On Here?

escalation

It really did. Some of you may have noticed the website looks a little different… and is missing all the content. Well, there’s a reason for that. Let me break it down:

  • Fen purchased dedicated server hosting from a company his friend recommended.
  • A new company bought out that company after a while, and Fen kept using them.
  • The new company decided to go out of business, and for whatever reason, the notification email got eaten by gmail’s spam filters. I don’t know why. I got invoice emails from them just fine.
  • Thus, when the servers were turned off and plugs pulled, I lost access to that server and everything on it.

So what’s the plan going forward, and why does this site look so ugly now?

  • We got a newer, better, stronger server. It should take a lot more to overload the site, and I have a gigantic data cap.
  • We’re going to rebuild fenoxo.com. We can make it better, stronger, faster, and with just as many onahole advertisements as before.
  • Note that the current wordpress theme is probably going to be changed. This is basically a quick placeholder while we get all the back-end pieces in place.
  • We’re upgrading to some better forum software. Word on the street is that they’re more or less up and running, but there is a ton of administration stuff to do to get them up to spec.

Maybe this time I’ll remember to backup the server more than once every two years. TL;DR: Old server got eaten by forces of Chaos. Building up a new one, powered by the forces of Slaanesh.
