Ok, I bought a $5 Linode. I have no freaking clue what to do next. =-D
I like the idea of a nursing mother, who just feeds the children. She also then has the time to teach them the laws of survival. It is hard to teach when you also have to be running around trying to survive.
The other thing, though... Is that part of a surviving colony is knowing how much you can actually support. If you're barely getting along, feeding every baby that shows up is a sure way to ruin the whole village. There is a built in mechanic for not having to raise a child that is born...
There is definitely something. I've seen some of these objects craft with a garbage pit to create "nothing".
I love the idea of being able to leave a single message after you die. Make how big it can be based on how long you lived, so you gotta at least be an adult to leave a message.
You make amazing connections with people you don't know in a super short time, and then they are gone. Would love to be able to leave a note and tell them thanks.
Part of the point of the game is that you are helpless when you start. It is up to your mother to teach you how to survive. When you were first born irl, you had no clue how to put that piece of fruit in your gob.
Also, expect to die a lot as a baby. That is part of the game too.
I know it was laggy for me and my friend said it was for him as well. I also saw at least one review that said it was laggy. Looks like optimization time for you! =-D
Now that I've played it, it seems like it wouldn't mess anything up if you just had a setting that let your friends be born by you (assuming you meet all the motherly requirements).
I was playing at the same time as my friend, and we actually ran in to each other. It was great. I introduced him to my son. He introduced me to his. And then I starved to death! =-D But my son Joel became a great hunter. I made him a loincloth.
First, I want to say this game is amazing. I love it a ton.
I'm just curious if the server gets laggy as it fills up. When I first started playing a few hours ago, everything was running super smooth. Then the last hour everything was moving really slow, people popping around a bit. I thought it happened after I died and was reborn, so I thought maybe it was one of the servers and not another.
Thanks!
One idea I have is to reserve your baby spot. Like a toggle that says "friends only." Your friend would have to wait for you to get pregnant, of course. But they might be willing to in order to get to play with you.
But yeah, all sorts of problems. When you die, are they too old to have you as a child now? Having them spawn "near" you also would cause problems with the underlying algorithm.
If I think of a better idea while playing, I'll be sure to mention it. Thanks! =-)
I'm very excited about this game. I'm just wondering if I should invite my friends and we can play together. Or is spawning very random, and we likely won't see each other? Thanks!
