One Hour One Life Forums

This certainly has merit. Had a life where an eve showed up and people started dancing around her, obviously threatened. She walked off, returned with a cart of wood, stoked the fire and proceeded to tend the berries. People seemed to chill out and let her do her thing after that.

I really want to weare shorts, apron, BP and fruit shoes in a life for ultimate storage lol. Will probably never happen though.

But yeah more yarn would be nice I mean even getting two thread balls per sheep would help.

AHAHA stab-fu thats brilliant i'm gonna use that one.

With surplus I like to take on silly projects like decorating a graveyard or planting as much milkweed as possible.

Also Quirky I wouldn't pay too much heed to other posts here, they're just articulating the 'um actually' meme I enjoyed the list.

This game is unique in the way Jason interacts with its player base. Few other in development games have had a developer who shares so much of when, where and how they are going to impact/change the game. As a result I believe peoples expectations have shifted and may view Ohol as their own property or maybe put too much value in their personal experience with it. As Jason has said he can't do EVERYTHING we ask but it is ignorant to say he hasn't listened to at least some of what we've said. Swords have been changed with a promise to look into them further. The temperature overhaul was changed several times, same with eve spawns. he added the ability to stack carrots and put seeds in bowls, more clothing. All things we asked for.

Minecraft is a pretty good comparison here, it was available from a very early stage and changed substantially over many years. Lots of those changes upset people to begin with but the players who stayed adapted and came to welcome new additions.

it is simply unfair to expect a perfectly balanced game right now when it has been made abundantly clear that change will be frequent. Just as it is unfair to expect things to stay the same. Would you really want Jason to just lay down his tools right now and say "all done"? No of course not! We need to be paitent. Continue to give feedback in a civil manner, report bugs on github and play/experiment with the game. No amount of whining and name calling is going to make this a perfect game.

At the end of the day Jason is the one making the game and we are the ones testing it. We need to trust he cares enough (which I believe he does) to do what is best for his project and accept that opinions vary and what is a perfect experience for one wont be for another. This can't be 100 games in one this is why we have genres.

So please before posting complaints/criticism (Which we absolutely should do) consider whether or not your approach is constructive. Don't just point out what is wrong suggest how it could be better. These posts I've seen ranting about how terrible Jason is are not constructive they serve no purpose in actually improving the game. If you feel you have tried and Jason is still not taking the game in a direction you agree with, move on, play something new that may better suit your interests. I'm aware many of us have put a substantial amount of time into Ohol and leaving would be hard but it seems there are several people who have reached a point of toxicity that might require a break at least.

Tldr, be nice and trust Jason. If you can't play something else for a while

I tend to go through a check list to see what needs doing.

First food- is the farm functional, any decaying bushes, planted carrots etc. Is there enough leftover pie/stew/broth etc to sustain us for a while.

If yes then are there sheep?

If yes do we have iron?

If yes, what state is the well in? Does it need upgrading and do we have enough alternative water if it does.

If yes I survey to see what tools are needed. Iron tools, buckets, carts etc.

Though this doesn't really address the lonely feeling which I can absolutely relate to. I think one way to help, especially if female is after completing the workload assessment stand by the fire, hopefully there are at least a few babies at this point and you can share your info on whats missing/needs doing. Obviously the wasteland thing is still an issue. I've been born into several towns with absolutely no milkweed recently, no seeds, none in the wild, and no farm. It is the same with iron, when you are repopulating an old town you generally don't have time to travel hundreds upon hundreds of tiles to tap that one iron mine. it's even worse if your town is cartless and ironless. The whole process is very hard and requires a lot of coordination from the population which, with so many varying skill levels is really freaking hard.

The few suggestions I have are 1 regenerating wild plans such as milkweed make the timer quite long 2+ hours but enough to give someone finding a dead town a better chance at reviving it. and a slight increase in iron mine spawn chance, possibly more mines but less iron pieces per mine.

How about interbreeding? Say a man or woman immigrates to a foreign village and has some way of producing a baby that is connected to BOTH families and cant kill either with the sword. This would take some value away from the sword which, from the influx of complaints may not be so bad, and encourage separate lineage interaction.

I assumed you were warning not to name your kid "killer" implying you killed her because of her name. Yes it was and assumption but your original post was not exactly riddled with detail.

You won't be making many friends with your attitude. I'm not here to partake in arguments... I am here to converse with others who play a game I enjoy.

Can we please just drop it now and agree to disagree, think I'm stupid if you must makes no real difference to me.

YES jewlery please!!! Especially considering the importance it held in real life human history.
