What do you get when you combine Doctor Who Client Mod files with a recent version of Minecraft? An update of epic proportions.
Yup that is right Doctor Who Client Mod is being brought out of the stone age of Minecraft and being updated to Minecraft 1.5.2. Once the 1.5.2 update is completed we will then update to 1.6.4 where the Doctor Who Client Mod will stay for the foreseeable future. Essentially the only reason we are updating to a recent version at all is due to what forge can offer us that cannot be done in 1.2.5. It is something we have always planned to do and now wer are finally doing it. Regardless of how infuriatingly inconvenient it is for me to have to keep track of thousands of individual texture files as opposed to our nice little texture maps it needed to be done to smooth performance on several of our major systems as well as to allow us to complete the remaining things that need to be done in order to begin our closed alpha testing.
There are two reasons that there have not been any Daily Reports the last week and a half and that is partially because I was not feeling well and I could barely talk and mostly because the update is consuming most of everyone's time.
The interesting thing about our update process is that because of the way we have written the code moving the major features from version to version is a relatively simple process and we are neck deep in that updating. It is simple but it does take time to make sure everything works error free so please be bear with us during this transitional period.
I will likely be doing several model showcases over the next few weeks or something other than our regular feature showcases due to the fact that no new content is being added in game until after the Update is completed.
So yeah I sorta rambled in this video because I still am not feeling that great and I need to rush this recording before people get home and frankly its snowing so hard I think that the power may go out. I will likely release a more indepth video sometime in the future but for now please like subscribe comment. Check out the daily Report archive at dailyreport.ikingssgc.com also if you have any spare change and feel like helping out head on over to our patreon campaign at patreon.ikingssgc.com
Talk to you all in the next video and I that pesky catchphrase illudes me. I think I need to buy a tub of jelly babies from amazon and gorge myself on them until I throw up .....or mutate into a giant 6 foot 1 jelly baby. Right...that got away from me yeah. Roll the outro!

Small Update, due to weather my power went out during editing of the Daily Report for 3/4 and has only just come on now the Daily Report will be pushed to 3/5 most likely.
.... do you guys have a life outside working on this mod?!
Due to me having a semester break from college I am able to be here 14 hours a day working on everything. However that being said the coders, Yof and Max do not have the same luxury and cannot be around as much as they would like to be.
Haven't checked in on this thread for a while (I don't really write or respond to it, just watch it 'cause it's an awesome mod). First off, 2013 Fall didn't happen. What more is there to add? I understand planets and stuff but I'm growing kind of weary of all this waiting. Reminds me of Grand Theft Auto V and Rockstar here... not trying to anger you, just saying.
Haha first off thanks for your support, and actually I think many people misconceived the fall 2013 thing as a release. What happened on Halloween was simply us shifting our development from "hey lets think of things to add and do it" to "hey, lets start fixing everything weve done, add some more things, and finish the absolute must haves for the first version to be released." So we went from Pre-Alpha development to Closed Alpha Development. Right now we are focusing on finishing things in a coherent way that makes it playable for the people who will be in the Closed Alpha Testing phase
Great work! The mod is looking marvelous. How much more content are you looking to add?
Thank you! We have a set list of things that absolutely need to be finished for the Closed Alpha candidate to be released to the people who will be testing it. First on the agenda is the 1.2.5 to 1.5.2 update and the rest is done from that point.
People need to be patient, Rome wasn't built in a day and neither was the doctor who franchise. Obviously none of the people complaining of the time are in a fandom, As if I recall the poor people over in the sherlock fandom had to wait 2 years. Which in comparison to the DWCM is a rather similar timeframe, I've been watching from the start, lurking in the background watching you all complain about "When is it coming out, ogm I've been waiting forever" when in truth, you're just impatient. Nothing good has come to those who have rushed projects, the wonderful people of the DWCM/S7C team/s have and still do spend their free time, not getting payed at all for this AND providing quality content that rivals that of larger studios that do it for the money? THAT is dedication, if you cannot understand that then you may as well leave.
But I feel like this will fall on deaf ears as it will soon be buried under a page or two worth of comments, then you'll all just start again so in the meanwhile I will just have to sit back yet again and wait. But before I do?
A big thanks to the Mod team for spending so much time on both projects over the years, You've given me a reason to be excited for minecraft yet again and in the meanwhile I suppose I've got Stalker and the Misery mod to keep me entertained. Until then, Adios and cheers!
I know this may sound kinda weird, but will we be able to BE a dalek?
Yes there are currently plans for there to be a portion of the story that flips the perspective of the Whoniverse on its head. Instead of being The Doctor and fighting the Daleks during this particular moment you become The Daleks and fight the Doctor.
I felt like the only way to make the Daleks truely creepy was to have the play become one and have to go through their thought process.
It is a great storyline that involves the Time War
What is going on in todays iKings Daily Report the truth about the Mystery Feature will be revealed!
So yeah, its been quite a while since I first showed the mystery feature and since we are currently busy with the massive DWCM update I figured it was time to let the cat out of the bag.
Many people thought that it was something to do with the TARDIS, that it was the eye of harmony or the heart of the TARDIS. Other people thought it was a rift or even regeneration energy.
To be honest it could likely end up being that at some point in the future because of our recent progress in our shading systems that will blow you away when we show them after the update has been completed. The potential for the Mystery Feature system is infinite.
But really the Mystery Feature in its current state is none of the things people suggested. This feature is found on The Grim.
So as you know the Grim has several boss mobs. One Boss to each building that you must fight to retrieve pieces of a key to a vault that you can find a memory matrix crystal in. The Mystery feature is actually actually something that activates when you are about to go head to head against a Boss.
Lets say that you enter.....the Witches Tower and fly the nimbus 2000 up to the top level. The mystery feature will activate and after a certain amount of time the Wicked Witch appears out of the purple haze.
Currently because the mobs on the Grim have not all been finished it was easier for us to simply put A pig there to demonstrate. Simply put it is a glorified Mob spawner that looks amazing. But great guesses everyone and I can say that several of your suggestions were already being worked on or in the early stages of planning so keep an eye out for those!

How much longer will the closed alpha continue? Any idea when the open beta will begin? I have never seen ANY mod so amazingly awesome and well though out, and i cant wait to see it released! Also, will there be a way to actually BE a dalek? I have searched and searched, but alas, there are no mods that have this.

Hey there! We have not yet begun alpha testing however we hope to start it soon after our 1.5.2 & 1.6.4 updates are completed.
Actually yes, there is an entire segment of gameplay that will have you play as the Daleks and you must fight against the Doctor. We wanted to do something to make the Daleks something cool in the modern age. The Daleks these days are so repedative and frankly overused. This is why we felt we needed to make the player see the Daleks in a different light and what better make the player think of the Daleks differently then have the player become a Dalek for a period of time and make choices that flip the philosophy of the show on its head. So instead of being the Doctor, savior of the universe and having the TARDIS you become the Dalek Empire and must think in a way that destroys anything not "pure" Dalek. The Daleks created technology that rivaled Time Lord Technology so it there will still be sonic tech, time travel tech and other such things. I think it will be a cool little side quest that will allow the player to have a unique Doctor Who universe experience

I know the answer to this will probably be no, but what is ever accomplished by not doing anything? Well, here goes. May i help with the alpha testing? If you say no, i will totally understand.

Hopefull sooner than later but due to the incredibly unpredictable lives of everyone involved here in the Mod Division I couldn't really speculate.
Thank you! We have a set list of things that absolutely need to be finished for the Closed Alpha candidate to be released to the people who will be testing it. First on the agenda is the 1.2.5 to 1.5.2 update and the rest is done from that point.
I would love to be in the Closed Alpha Testing phase, I can barely wait another minute!
If you could let me have a Closed Alpha Testing download I would appreciate it!
But I feel like this will fall on deaf ears as it will soon be buried under a page or two worth of comments, then you'll all just start again so in the meanwhile I will just have to sit back yet again and wait. But before I do?

Well technicaly it is a proximity activated Boss Spawner, the pigs are just temporary until the Bosses are completed.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......no
You don't its not done yet.
PS you need a iking acount to get the mod
Hey there! We have not yet begun alpha testing however we hope to start it soon after our 1.5.2 & 1.6.4 updates are completed.
Actually yes, there is an entire segment of gameplay that will have you play as the Daleks and you must fight against the Doctor. We wanted to do something to make the Daleks something cool in the modern age. The Daleks these days are so repedative and frankly overused.
