That would be quite interesting, People would probably enslave most of there babies. I suspect that alot of people wouldn't go along with it, Probably just talk shit or suicide when they get chained.

I knew you would be a bad seed from the minute you jumped out of my arms for the first time. You were dead set on not being named, I knew you would be trouble so I tried to let you die. Unfortunately, by the time people listened to me, You had grown old enough to eat.

I tried to warn everyone not to trust you, I don't know if anyone really listened. I knew that you would come for me one day. For most of my life I was constantly looking over my shoulder, expecting you around every corner. Then you finally tried to get your revenge, You attempted to lure me away with the promise of a "birthday cake". You chased me around begging for me to go with you. I wasn't falling for it, I knew you wanted me dead. After the birthday cake incident, I never saw you again.

I soon found out that you had starved, hilariously your last words were "Birthday cake". I moved on with my life, In my later years I made a bunch of steel bars for future toolmaking. You never had the pleasure of killing me, I died peacefully of old age with my better soon beside me.

I'm sorry you took it so personally, I disown every baby that keeps jumping out of my arms.

Guess you could start by not burying dead babies, especially ones that got left to die. You could go ahead and extend that any that die young, Don't have to waste time and space on people that did nothing and starved young. That would reduce your graveyard size significantly. If you wanted to be real hardcore you could only give old people proper burials, these people probably deserve the graves more anyway.

Build a nice fancy grave for people that make it to old age and just the old boneyard for everyone else, would be a nice incentive for people to live longer.

We had a nice camp.. One kid wanted to die and one of them got abducted by another one.

We were all set up for gladiator combat cause I was grey and only boys but someone hid the knife..

Billy was gonna duel me, I just wanted it to be a tourney since we were doomed.

He asked me to kill him so I did. No one else wanted to duel so I tried to get em to help me make stone floors and shit for someone to find.


I was Billy, I'd built it for sheep but since we were doomed I gave up. I wanted to have a proper duel but some pussy took the knife, I don't understand why. Also, I was the one who abducted that other baby, I didn't want him to be stuck in a dead civ.

I love how you didn't even hesitate when I asked for death D;

To the kid that took knife: Thanks for ruining our fun, dick.

Keep in mind that I'm just one person!

There are bugs to fix, new features to add (like the family tree, grave names, etc.), and general launch stuff.  And then there is content to add.

In the grand scheme of things, this game "just launched" and is still "brand new".  We're still 5 days away from the 3-month mark, and the game was in development for 3 years before launch.  My original plan was to keep working on the game for at least 2 years after launch, so that means we have at least 21 more months to go.

I have put out some kind of weekly update, with either new features or new content, every week for the past 12 weeks, except for the one week that I was away at GDC.  That is 11 updates since launch.  We have 93 more updates to go.

I have not at all come close to my stated goal of 100 new objects per week.  I believe the largest update so far was something like 85 new things in one week.

But, as the other development work diminishes (no bugs left to fix, servers are stable and fast, I'm not answering 50 emails a day, people are generally happy with the state of the game), then I will be able to work towards that 100/week goal.  I will be able to spend all 5 days each week producing content.

This game has been through A LOT of stuff over the past three months.  Players have been unhappy with the state of the game many times and for many different reasons.  Boredom, steady states, griefing, lack of meaning, baby suicide, etc.  And that list doesn't even include "bad updates," which of course I had to scramble to fix instead of making more content.  I think most of that stuff has been ironed out now, and most people think the game is in a pretty good place.


This is reflected in the player reviews.  The last negative review was posted 5 days ago (until the one that was just posted today), amid 20+ positive reviews during that time.  Sales are climbing too.  People like the game again.  I think that's really important.


Yeah I get that, I guess once all the boring stuff is out of the way you can focus more on content. I'll be looking forward to them advanced futuristic civs, Can't wait to make synthetic pies and genetically modified carrots.

#234 Re: Main Forum » THE EVES! THE EEEVEEEEEEEEES!!!!!! » 2018-05-24 08:49:49

I blame the lineage ban for that, Each time a town abandons babies they get "Banned" for that lineage for like 3 hours. So none of the towns wanted you and you got banned from every bloodline and the game has no choice but to spawn you as an Eve or an eves baby.

#235 Re: Main Forum » Desert living » 2018-05-24 08:46:42

I always get a desert spawn as an eve, at least it's an easy suicide. Not only are desert villages way too hot, you also have the added benefit of snakes coming and going from your village. Seems like a lot of people misunderstand the use of deserts, especially the ones that are fully clothed in them.

Like what's already been said, Living near a desert is useful but living IN a desert isn't. Not only can you raise babies but it also allows people to travel great distances. For those that don't know, if you stand on a desert temp spot and start running without stopping your temp never changes and you save a lot of food.

Some justified and some aren't.

When signs got added for the first time, I couldn't resist messing with a towns sign for the lols. I learned my lesson when I got shot.


A few weeks ago I was smithing in a town, I made a few hoes for the farm. I was looking around to see what other tools needed replacing but I saw a random little girl messing with my stuff. At first, I thought she was trying to Smith, I saw her put my hammer, file and a steel bar inside a basket. I figured she might have been trying to reorganize my workspace but I was suspicious when she picked it up and ran off. I followed her around for a bit, she ran towards the forest and was looking for a tree to hide my stuff in. I had caught her red-handed, I had become just old enough to use the bow. I ran back to camp quickly and grabbed the bow, I found her still running around the forest. I shot her with my bow, didn't even say a word as the life left her.

I was an old woman in a city, I had a knife that I had held since my mother died many years ago. I heard the death scream and came running, a random girl in the sheep pen with an arrow in her. A bit further down was the culprit attempting to flee the scene, I easily got the hit in as she was still in the slowdown. A woman and her roleplaying husband were asking about there daughter Ruth, I told her that there had been a murder but the killer was dead. But I checked the family tree and their daughter was the murderer!

Was an Eves daughter trying to gather supplies. My mother was letting all other kids die, one them woke up a bunch of bears in anger. Happens alot

My unwanted babies end up surviving from others feeding them, They dedicate there lives to kill me. Most of them fail or starve before they can grow up.

same for bandages if ur a smart killer u just make bandages and hide them nearby ur murder spot. easy as shit.


You can say that about almost everything in this game. You can find a way to grief with almost everything anyway, doesn't mean they shouldn't be in the game.

I'm aware that Jason is trying to make the game "Just right" before he starts expanding the tech tree but everyone is getting bored and losing interest. People either lose interest and stop playing or turn to griefing to entertain themselves, I liked the family tree but that still isn't actual in-game content to play with. The most recent new thing I can recall is the bell tower, leaves alot to be desired.

Anyways I just want to know how much longer until we start seeing new things instead of slightly changed old things.

& if innocent couldn't explain well because they are maybe not that good at english or just because nobody believes while killers smooth their way through, what then ?

besides, i have really no intention to loose my meager one hour forced to explain while i was already a target, then is running away or even suiciding still a way better option than not only being killed with one click but also now in danger of being captured & interrogated based neither on any law nor authorization or skill

every prolongation of an unpleasant situation is victimizing further instead to help, same goes for those suggestions where a killer first injures a victim, why should a victim suffer at all ? & not the killer reap the consequences of their own doings ? why should this game favour aggressive people & not peaceful ? why should it support violence at all ? what is so civilized about violence ?


Well in my mind it's still a better alternative to than just being straight out killed, No system is going to be perfect. Your right, Innocents might still get publicly executed and killers might somehow convince the town of there innocence, It happens in the real world too. But I'd to think someone who was truly innocent would have a better chance at surviving, They might even have witnesses to back up their story. Someone that is a hard worker with a good reputation would be believed over the guy that said nothing to anyone and made up some bullshit story without any details.

You're also right about people running away or suiciding, let them. If you DC or flee town then your society won't have to deal with them. Why leave if your innocent but you can't be assed to explain yourself, Could be a good chance for some roleplay. Couldn't this be used as part of the culture that you've longed for, each place could have there own justice system.

You could have the king/queen have the final say or the whole town could vote on it, doesn't have to be a death sentence either. Give them a jail sentence or banish them from the town. You're saying that civilization in this game isn't civilized and you might be right, giving people some sort of trial would a step in the right direction. We're supposed to get more advanced overtime, we should move on from lynch mobs.

Obviously, the police don't just send officers to kill you because they suspect you of a crime.

If only there was a way to actually capture people in the game, Like instead of having vigilante's just killing people. They could instead catch them and have them explain themselves, People that give dumb reasons can be killed but innocents at least get a chance to talk.

u can make a civ without new generations.

so if you let the killer free he prob end youre lineage and he end so ur civ.

but i agree with the most u saying tho

in OHOL you can

the new generation might be an Eve
if every player would decide to spawn only as Eve & not to keep babies at all, the civ progress would be still made
family is important IRL, but family is not essential in OHOL, cause we have Eves

& about "my civilization"
OHOL atm is far from being "my civilization", i am not even able to make music yikes


- - -

yea but then you have too make a whole new civ thats just boring and repetitive.

but who cares the game is legit repetitive now anyways. we need way more stuff for the tech tree we got almost no items in monthsss



Trailer: I'll be adding new things to the game every week

Reality: I'll change old stuff in the game every week.

#244 Re: Main Forum » Tell me about the weirdest life you've had » 2018-05-22 12:11:04

I have another one, Two stories for the price of one. This one doesn't have you in it tho.

I was yet another abandoned boy but another older boy saved my life. He tracked down my mother and made her name me, I ended up being named "rea". I called him Dad and helped him with pies for a bit, Then I saw no one was farming so I switched over. An old woman told me to make some emergency seed plots outside of town just in case disaster happened.

Fast forward a few years and my Dad was old, He gave me his knife and requested that I killed him. He wanted a warriors death. Another random kid asked me to kill him also, great I was helping people suicide.....

I refused at first but he insisted, I ended his life. Well, unfortunately, someone shot me with a bow for being a murderer. I hope he reads this and learns not to rush to conclusions, You shouldn't blindly shoot someone when you didn't even see shit. I even had a witness that would have backed up my story but you choose to be a cowboy and gun me down, thanks for ruining that life.

Soon after I saw them say "all nameless should be stabbed", I attempted to flee but I wasted time trying to grab a basket of carrots. If I had run sooner I may have escaped but I was too late, I watched as two laughed at me while I was dying. The townspeople were indifferent to my death, probably fearing for there own lives.

I later learned that they had killed the majority of the town in an attempt to preserve food for themselves. In the end, they went on to kill the others and ending the family line the process.

I was your brother Zach, I don't know if we talked much but I was there. I was responsible for a good portion of the pies, I baked a decent amount of pie during my best years. I don't remember exactly who the rabbit hunter was but he brought in cartloads of rabbits, I think it may have been sruthi the other brother.

I like how the Sol family is always a consistently good town, I've spent many lives in various sol families and all them were successful towns.

Yeah, Happens more then you think especially with advanced cities. People sometimes decide to take supplies from a city and go off to found there own place. Think of it as playing an Eve with a slight head start.

Or it may just be a different Eve with the same name.
