I think you have the right instinct here. Inserting a value shouldn’t take on the order of milliseconds. I would focus there first.

If it turns out that it’s huge effort to improve, I would go with reducing the number of inserts as a second approach. By making the DB block size configurable instead of single tile, you can try out 4x4, 8x8 etc... I’m sure that’s not done without its own effort, but there is the added gain that it’s an upgrade of your system from an engineering perspective (just don’t pick a fixed size - make it configurable, so you can change it easily ).

Nudity is becoming an obstacle for distributing the game on AppStore and Google Play

This is really sad. I think the characters look better without nudity-filter, but I guess “the World” feels differently.

We rolled out our Android beta on Google PlayStore on July 1st, US time (1 am July 2nd, CET). As we understood it, the app would be invisible unless you had the opt-in-link. This turned out to be a false assumption, which we realized earlier today after getting several emails from people.

We've now tried to pull it by making it unavailable in all countries, but there seems to be some delay before all their servers get the updated info. Why do we want to pull it? Because Google weirdly enough charges people full price for installing a beta, and that was not our intention. Instead, we are listing those who are interested as internal testers, so there is no money charge.

Anyway, it felt like a curious coincidence that more people suddenly found out about the game during the last three days, so maybe this contributed to some of that, who knows...

I have to say I think the method proposed by Uncle Gus is the only really good one: every player who wants the offender gone grabs a blunt tool of their choice and starts whacking. The target player looses mobility if enough people join in. Whacks only count if there’s a chain of different players doing it in sequence (a bit like the yum bonus)

I would add: 1) let each whack detract one food pip, to speed things up, 2) death reason becomes “killed by angry mob”, 3) the number of people whacking is used to determine if the target player gets “punished ” in the next life/lives. Bigger mob -> longer punishment.

Why is this best? Because it adds to the gameplay drama while the person is alive, it isn’t dependent on knowing a name, it doesn’t rely on magic and it doubles as a defense against armed opponents.

My 2 cents.

Here’s another one:

We have rolled out the beta on Google Play!!

To download, you need to become one of our "internal testers", and for that to happen we must register your email address (the one you use on Google Play). Send me your Google Play email address in a private message, and I will list you as an internal tester and then send you a different link to follow. We are limited to register at most 100 internal testers.

Looking forward to seeing you in the game!

This is true:
only a few
appreciate stew
like you

I may be wrong, but to me the filter sounds like a patch rather than a good solution. How are inexperienced players supposed to know the names of the tools further up in the tech tree? And experienced players, do they need it?

On a mobile device there is no tab key, so we knew we had to do something differently anyway. We ended up with two different views of hints: Use and Create. The first one is what you have in the original game: given one item, you are shown all ways you can use it one step. The second, Create, shows how to make the item, also one step (at a time).

To take hatchet as the example, Create shows that a tied shaft plus a sharp stone produces the hatchet. Then the user can get hints for those and see how to make the tied shaft from a rope and a short shaft, or how to make a sharp stone from a stone and a big rock. And so on, recursively.

I think we were inspired by ryanb’s system (which is awesome, btw) but we wanted something less OP, which didn’t give the whole tech tree away at once.

If you’re interested I can make some screenshots to explain it better. Let me know.

For now, just post that you’re interested in this thread. On iOS we must have email addresses, but on Android there’s a chance that we can just post an apk for downloading. If not, I’ll ask for your email later.

Not only that, my dear Bug, you will also be able to EAT said stew without ever leaving your bed. How's that for Utopia?

Lol. Made me laugh.

Maybe he wasn’t pretending, but just wasn’t very good at his job?

What’s the tech path to make a certificate, Jason? I see an opportunity here...
