What's coming Chris?

Sorry for the lack of posts, I have been pretty busy with the 0.9.6 planning. It turns out if I spend heaps of time posting on the forums and chatting in game then I get less work done ;)

0.9.5g will probably be deployed tomorrow. The camera has been zoomed out.

0.9.6 is probably about two weeks away and looks like it's going to include Utility Flasks (if we don't get them in before then), flask-specific belt mods, lots of additional monster mods that promote interesting behaviour (to make the gameplay more challenging), among other changes that aren't finalised yet. It's likely 0.9.6 will contain more new keystones, but we have at least one ready that may be patched in earlier!

Any chance of new spells?

New skills are a very high priority, but I don't have any numbers or news there yet. We're reviewing which ones are almost ready and what design holes can be filled with new skills. I hope that we'll include some in 0.9.6, but if that patch is ready before the skills are then we won't delay it for that (and the skills will come when they are ready).

How big of a zoom out is this, I don't forsee it zooming out as much as say, Titan Quest, but if its just a teensy bit it will be neat. I don't mind the camera distance as it is now.

It's 10% (giving you approx 21% more viewable screen area), but we'll probably make it adjustable in the future.

Neat! So how big of a patch might 0.9.6 be? There won't be any character resets... Right?

We currently don't intend to do any character resets with 0.9.6.

In terms of size, it'll probably be a fairly typical medium 0.9.x patch (a few hundred mb).
