Is it frowned upon to make a mirror save before talking to petrus and use the same character to try a better ending ( I forgot to do that as well, but in case I ever manage to get another character that far I would like the groups opinion. its not exactly save scumming, but it isnt exactly kosher either.)

IMO, you have to make a decision whether you want to take what you have (by returning Elpuri's head), or risk and try the better ending. On the other hand, IMO making backups of your save is OK for learning purposes (although some might disagree and say that neither reading spoilers nor savescumming nor wizard mode is a legal method of learning). So, you can do a mirror save, and first get one legitimate ending, and then use the copy to see the lower dungeon, but that's for learning, I would consider it a half-legitimate win at most.

OK, It must be zeno, then. (I think my friend once had an e-mail address which was 7 chars in total, x@xx.xx.)

I suppose aliases would also be possible, so e.g. Ernomouse could be both emperor at attnam and ernomouse attnam

Is this thread spam-safe? I would like [a lowercase version of my name on this forum]@attnam.com forward to the e-mail address in my profile, if this name is not too short.

But I asked whether it would be possible to reply via Attnam itself if I wanted.

I think the mutants are already explained (IIRC Kaethos says something about some events which was a origin for the mutant asses and the Genetrix Vessana). And apparently science is not so new in the world... but a nice idea anyway.

Is it possible to forward a copy to my regular email, so that I can notice it on my regular email and then decide which interface to use to send a reply?

I somehow don't like the thought of guessing what holybanana meant with this quest and finishing it according to our guess... (but that's not a problem at all, go ahead, I don't think he would mind and maybe we will get something nice)

I recommend using the latest CVS version that has Blob's artwork as the basis. It should then be put together with Z's 3D + Sound version.

My 3D + Sound version already includes the latest CVS...

And where are they supposed to store their work? And how will they work together?

IMO, you should get the keys to IVAN CVS first, this will solve these problems. (Well maybe learning a new tool is not as essential for this particular task, but this will let the world see that IVAN is officially in development again, and in a long run, it would be hard to live without it: if one person changes something in code, CVS allows to easily share it with other coders and testers (as long as they are able to compile it).)

First, I think it would be best to get in touch with holybanana or hexii, who will be able to give us admin rights on IVAN Sourceforge. I don't know Finnish, but Hexii seems to have an active blog here... Even if he has no time for development, that should be just 5 minutes for him. (Probably better to create those Sourceforge accounts first, so he will know whom to give them.)

We need it for two things. First, to update the website to include our forum. And second, a version control system such as CVS is in practice essential for joint development. (If you don't know what a version control system is: when you do something new to IVAN, you issue a single command ("commit" ) and your change goes to the repository. If you do another single command ("update" ), your local copy is updated to include all the changes committed by everyone else.) We could create a new repository somewhere, but I think it would be much better to use the official IVAN CVS repository. This will make us official.

I hope they won't feel bad about passing official IVAN development to others.

Also we should choose: which ones of the unofficial modifications go to our initial version?
