One Hour One Life Forums

After playing the game for a while these are the thnings that i think need the most work to get yourself a master piece. from most important 0 to least 14 sorry for the long read and spelling mistakes.

0: Crafting tips:
I sugest to change the text to the thumpnails of the objects, so you can see what it looks like, and what you need to combine to get what. this helps none native speakers aswell, I have trubble with plenty of words and i have a good understanding of english (not native) but if you think this spoils everything a bit then I surgest to only change the text to icons once you have seen someone else combine the 2 items to make the 3e item. so the longer you play the game the more text recipies will convert to icons, THIS should STAY AFTER you DIED and respawn.
I think thats a really good way, so it encurages people to show others how to do stuff because they can look it up later.

1: Hunger indicator:
Can we have hunger indicators, I dont always look at the bottom to see how hungry i am, also it would be nice if others see your starving, I surgest to have something simular to the picture i post, I would say make it 2 vibrating sqikly lines if you have 2 bars left, usaly thats where people start writing F, (the F sign is still more in your face beause it is a huge contrast, so still smart to do, and add the 3 shaking sqikly lines if you only have 1 bar left maby add a funny hunger stomage sound aswell.

2: Text/speaking
This one really needs to change, if someone is standing 1 tile above of you and they say something you can already not even read what they say, this is simply madness, how do you expect to comunicate if you cant read stuff around you. the text bubbles should not leave the screen, you could even make it so that the closer a player is the more visible, so if someone is 6 tiles away its perfect but it is half faded at 10 and compleatly gone at 14 tiles, this helps with finding people back aswell, in real life if you yell you can also hear people from far that you might not be able to see, the audio cue of someone is sometimes to hard to indicate where they exacly went this helps with that!. (maby i tiny picture of the head, next to the text, because in real live you can recognize voices, but you dont have that hear, so its to prefent confusion)

2b: when you get older you need to gain letters faster! a 14 year old can get a baby but only type 14 letters.... not even twitter is that cruwl. so when you have a baby you cant decently tell them what you want to tell them. dont forget that most people dont have the discord suport to ask how stuff needs to be done! so it needs to be on ingame comunication and that atm is not there. also when you type something and then something else the first sentice is gone, witch makes it hard to type alot fast with giving them the change to read it all. but you need fast typing because otherwise you simply die of lack of eating. time passing is death in this game. so add the extra line under the first 1, and the longer the text the longer it should stay on screen.

3: Crafting
why do i need to correct order to craft something, if i have 1 item on the ground and the other in my hand and you need both to make something simply make it so that if you left klick it automaticly changes it to the right order and then craft it. so if the stone was on the grond and i hold the stick, simply swap those to and imidetly hit the stick with the stone after the swap to make a short stick or watever you get. This one is really important because you can read the recipies right but have no clue why it wont work, hapend to me alot.

4: Eating,
Dubble klick on a food source should make you grab and eat that item instandly, make your caracter simply use your none dominant hand, so that you can still hold stuff with your main hand. and eat, you can even make it so that it only works with small items that you hold in 1 hand, but i think its better if it always works. even when both hands are full, finding a empty space around a food source to then place a item and then walk back to grab it and then eat it is just so killing!, and makes it un nesasary harder to do.

4b ponds should also be a food source, drinking is more important then food normaly.

5: item placement,
Because the game is so zoomed in i wish 1 tile holds 4 items, camps even the ones with alot of baskets simply have a few screens full where there is simply no room anymore to place something. I also surgest that to make things look better, simply move items randomly in any direction but not outside the tiles bounding box. this will make the game look alot less static, for certain items you can ofcourse specifie that it is not allowed to move. within the bounding box.having this will also give more changes of your player not standing infront of a item thats 1 tile above.

6: Terrain,
We need big rock formations and rivers/lakes, this can help with finding you way around aswell, (put big stones in the river makes small stone pebble bridge, or with wood make a wooden bridge. for the stones and rivers you can do it simular to age of empires 2, so some places with low water where you can cross aswell.

7: Small items,
Make it so the area where you can select them is bigger! picking up small items like 1 berry is a pain in the ass.

7b Items behind other objects,
If you mouse over a object that got a other object behind it give it a clear thik outline, like orange for example so it pops and you easly spot things behind those objects. and automaticly do it for all objects behind other objects that are within 2-3 tiles from the player.

8: movement WASD,
I know you use path finding to have less load on the server, so you can always make it so that pressing down is the same as klicking 2 tiles away in the direction you click in, and IF you cant move more in that direction increase it with another 2 and so forth till it finds a way.

9: menu,
the entire game is mouse based and when a menu pops up you need your keyboard..... makes no sense, just make the buttons klick able. also what is the use of having a menu pop up if you cant go to settings to even lower your sound, you need to kill yourself to lower sound... thats mean jason.

10: death screen, Would love to see your family tree, with a picture of the people in there. picture of the age you had when they died, so you could see what people made it to old age etc, Optional would be nice to see there username. when hovering over them, would be cool to see some stats like how many things they crafted etc.

11: Speaking,
when you type you cant see ! ? etc but when you speak they do apear.

12: Basket,
somethings when i put things in and out of baskets they disapear.

13: Settings
I cant resize the not fullscreen window... I dont mind if thigs deform a bit because of how I would scale it. or even keep the 1 to 1 scale but be able to make the entire thing bigger or smaller.

14: Killing
I think kill should be on left mouse, so you dont mistakenly walk into a evil animal when you have the means to kill it, for friendly ones it could be only right mousebutton. so you dont accidently shoot your children

15: I need my drinking baseball cap that holds my soda that i drink trough a staw.
