But the update installed may have not even had anything in it. How do I update my game properly?

How do I send images that have been made and saved in paint?

Wait what?
This guy has chest hair? Huh. Also, I wasn't trying to criticize you when I noted that Male020 A's mouth looks like Male 012 C's mouth.

You mean D? I think C is the first black skin tone before the one that the character is, which is skin tone D. (Edit: Nevermind, got it wrong. You were right the first time, it was A. A is the darkest skin tone.)

Small change:

Once you're 10 years old, you can read any length note that you pick up.  No more waiting until you are old to read the whole thing.

Why ten though lol?  I'm curious why ten was the age not 5 or 8.

Just wanted to let you know why I'm not as active right now.

That'll be in a long time though.

Ok then. I saw the wrong way then. Sorry. I didn't know it was an anti-guide.

#91 Re: Main Forum » Mini guide: how to kill people » 2018-08-06 15:57:43

Dude. Why did you even make this. This is just going to give greifers and murderers a "better" reason to kill. Please stop. Delete this, or you WILL receive even greater backlash. Actually. Why did you make this?

YAAAYYYY - Server one is now finally free of that annoying lag that makes you teleport 2 screens back where you started.

You know, startafight, that not only will the tests will kill off new players (that's a bad thing) but also that your name is literally start a fight? Why? Is it just me  or it really is too much of a chance that would be the name?

Actually, you could pick up a big rock, but if you were too exhausted to hold it up and would be crushed by the big rock.

Science has spoken!

They aren't lying, going into a shark does cause rapid weight loss BECAUSE THEY FRICKIN EAT YOU! Don't do that please, going into a shark tank is like slippy sliding on the Empire State Building WITHOUT IT'S FENCE GUARDS! *basically they're telling you to commit suicide, don't listen to those bots, they're literally trying to kill you.*

#96 Re: Main Forum » Extending life through murder/cannibalism » 2018-07-19 17:58:24

Actually, that could be an idea for decreasing life. Because, if you eat someone else's flesh, you don't know what's in it. There could be parasites, bacteria, or viruses or even fungi inside their flesh. You just can't know. And, it does promote killing though, which isn't good.

#97 Re: News » Update: Tutorial » 2018-06-30 16:34:25

The game is literally unplayable now.
And by that I mean the game literally crashes in the downloading update screen. Maybe you might want to fix that.

Live play-testing is really important!

It's too bad that I hardly ever get to do it, given that I work from home and am surrounded by people who already know all about my game.

I had my wife, who hasn't played the game more than once in the distant past, play the tutorial while I sat there silently.  Most of it went pretty well.

But the end challenge, where I ask the player to craft a hatchet with no other guidance (besides the normal crafting hints) was a disaster.

Oh man!  How many players will get stuck here and never get to play the game?  Should I make the tutorial optional?  Or get rid of this end challenge?  But if new players cannot figure out how to craft basic things in a controlled setting, how the heck are they going to figure anything out in the main game?  Yeah, they learn from their parents, but....

When I'm having this conversation with myself, it's a sign that something's wrong with the game.  Should probably fix that.

How the heck is someone supposed to figure out how to craft a hatchet inside the game, even if they know that they want to do it?  Page through 46 hints for the sharp stone?  Tied short shaft?  What's that?

And this problem is only going to get worse as the crafting tree is fleshed out.  I can imagine the sharp stone being used in 100s of recipes eventually.  CTRL-TAB indeed.


There needs to be some way to hack your way through that information.

So I added a filter function.  Typing "/hatchet" now trims down the crafting hints to only those that are somehow relevant if you're trying to make a hatchet.  In the case of the sharp stone, this narrows it down to 4 recipes instead of 46.

What you're currently trying to make is displayed under the crafting hints to remind you that a filter is in place.  Typing "/" clears the filter.  As with the naming functions, this all happens through the chat interface, though nothing is actually "said" on the server (it's all client-side).

Testing this on my wife tomorrow....

The searching for the hints for the components you need in a tool without actually having the items, was my biggest peeve. You simply couldn't back then! Thanks for adding in the filter.

Wait, Jason mentioned that there were going to be 12 characters soon I think. Why weren't they in the log. Maybe perhaps I misread the intention of the message.

1) Small ponds that are different from goose ponds. They contain fish but no water sources you can collect. This could result in fishing. Fishing line could be rope plus metal fish hook (which can be smithed the same way as a shovel head.) And worms as bait? Maybe worm farms could be a thing? Also rope plus needle and thread equals net, which brings up sharks. Shark plus knife equals shark fin, shark fin plus crock plus water equals raw shark fin soup, plus hot coals is cooked sharkfin soup.

2) Bacon.

3) Marriage and rings. Gold nugget plus smithing hammer twice equals ring blank. Wolf ring, leaf ring, carrot ring. Maybe the person asked must have the words “I will marry you” still fresh above her head for the person asking to be able to slip a ring on their finger. Then it shows relationship as your husband and your wife. And men can have kids. But you can’t marry your mother, father or siblings. *You forgot uncles, aunts and grand / great relatives. You can marry your cousins though.*

4) Snakeskin boots have some resistance against snake bites over other shoes, but fur shoes have more resistance than bare feet.

5) You should be able to make more kinds of pies since there are more vegetables. Onion pie. Squash pie. Egg pie. All sound good.
