March 18th, 2005-->And I'm back...again. So far I'm sticking well to my 'once a month' thing I've got going here. Little bit of news for ya'll: Lots of changse have happened. Styles were altered to make sure that racial bonuses and style bonuses on a single planet do not overlap, and thus do not give character one "super stat" without them having to put a single point into it. (Most famous case was Namekian's with former Hermit Style. They would have 9 Acc without putting a single point into it. This could mean that a Namekian could have a 9 Acc at as low as PL 3100) So that was all reworked. More changes? Let's have some fun with bullet points again:
-Battle System is almost fully automated. We got the THS and DS done, and I'm currently working on the IR System. So far, it auto-calculates the THS chart, if you hit, what type of hit you performed, damage for physical or ki attacks and if you miss your attack, calculates your opponant's chance to counter (if they can counter) and then rolls to see if they counter and displays if they do or not.
-Have not begun work on the reworking of the Maps page, that's still a big project for me
-Weapons ALL revamped. They now give straight bonuses to damage, evasion, etc.
-New (but not really) stats. You cannot pump these, but they exist for the purpose of editing the battle system. They include: Str Mod, Def Mod, Evd Mod, and Acc Mod. They're just modifiers that effect your roll. So if you had a 2d6 and then a Str Mod of 4, you'd actually be rolling a (2d6) +4, or getting a value between 6-16 instead of 2-12. Very simple. You don't have to pay much attention to it, it's mainly so that I can use the automated Battle System well, and because of this change, it makes weapons and some racial abilities much easier to calculate
-Racial abilities modified slightly to incorporate the idea of Stat Modifiers.
-Changlings buffed to improve playability (They now have +Def Mod under Racial stats)
-Humans buffed to improve playability, Economic Genius for humans now gives 2x Creds/day instead of 1.5x
-New Ability for Humans: Enhancement of Form
-Titantic Body alteration
-Retracable Claw ability altered.
-Demon's elemental shield buffed to encourage playability
Kay, that's all I got for ya this month guys. More in April ^^

February 24th, 2005-->Wow...Looks like I really failed that New Year's Resolution quick enough -.-; Well, I apologize for it. (Like it helps any...or anyone reads this page for that matter). Ah well, you'll have that. Let's see, VDR3 has been going strong since it's restart date, yeah, it actually did follow through on January 1st to restart. New stuff...uhm...huh...Maybe it would be better if I just bulleted it?
-New Race: NekoYatsu
-Mission System in Place
-Work begun on computing the battle system (just a little, don't get your hopes up)
-New view on Alignment (No site changes, but the way I'll be using Alignment is gonna shift abit)
-New view on Zanzouken and Haste. Zanzouken is now seen as an Interupt to use against an Enemy Attack, the +Evd given by Haste will only be useful in the case of counter-attacks.
Other than that, there's not much. I can tell you that I am planning on expanding the maps on the Maps page to be bigger for each world. They're just too confining, right now. So I'm going to (roughly) double their size. I'm sure it will be a piece of work for me. Other than that, there's not much else going on. New players are always welcome, just follow the instructions. They're pretty self-explanatory ^^

December 21st, 2004-->Yay! More crap being done. Deleted Status Page, got rid of Tourney page (they were useless since most of that stuff is done on the MB). Uhh...Shops being done now, Maps page done, Races done (Rakore have been pumped, check it out, thanks to Swashdong for that), Masters redone, working on incorporating moves suggested by players...this is my giant update week. Good for all of you, bad for me. Until next time, have fun, have a happy holiday, and let's all hope I don't go insane and try to kill something again! ~Panaramadingudongu
December 10, 2004-->....AHHHHHHHHH! So much crap I've been doing. @_@. Well, all those who played from our starting date will already know: VDR3 is restarting. Yes, this means that all those pages you're all so fond off are being remade, redone, and some just plain deleted. What's this mean for new members? It means that you can join fresh and compete against everyone on an even playing field until January 1st, 2005! So be sure to join and follow all the directions. I've done alot of chopping down to make things easier to read and follow, so hopefully we'll all have less comfusion. My new year's resolution (early): Update this page at least once a month... ~Panaramadingudongu
