One Hour One Life Forums

I planted wheat in two new ways.  Woot! 

That sounds like I didn't like the update.  I do.  Because it's clear that Jason took the time to listen to people's reasonable suggestions and specific complaints in a number of areas.  I'm happy about that in a way that no cool new content update would have addressed.

It's a webpage, a subset of the posts on the One Hour One Life reddit page.

And yes - road building.  It's a great way to get out of dodge, but still have a fast road back to civilization if you need (for example...) a needle.

While I don't often choose to be a lone wolf, I often end up as one.  I'm damn good at foraging, and can usually survive even as everyone else in my village dies off.  So I'll head out and try to find another village (especially now we have seen the distribution).  I found two the last time I did this, but both were empty. 

I definitely agree with your suggestions.  More non-needle clothes would also be great for eve camps where everyone is running around freezing with baskets, adobe, and soil, but struggling to prioritize finding and cooking the rabbit for a needle. 

Do you know about the suggestions subreddit?  Jason seems to respond best to ideas posted there - the more specific the better.

And now it has three!!!  Family Dragon is lightly inhabiting the main city.  Fourth bell tower is almost done...if we could just convince people to give up those pesky crowns.  West Village was pretty much abandoned when I was there.

+1 to this.

If you want a target area... how about that red splotch towards the top edge of the spiral that has fingers reaching into the green loop?  Or that dot towards the right of the orange circle that looks like it made it all the way to the 19th?

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this Solgryn.  The comments were good to see.  And while I don't keep up with Twisted's videos on a regular basis, I do enjoy his cultural influence on the game.  So I was utterly delighted to realize I was playing one of the family members in this video!  I started building the platform around the bakery in this town.  I show up in the video around 1:30 minutes in. I think I stupidly starved pretty early in that life though...

Yes.  This is how I feel about the update, too. 

It is working out better than I thought... I got to play in two revived villages tonight, and the apocalypse is easy to dismantle.  But.... the fundamental encouragement of the griefer play-style coupled with the dismissal of the city-dweller play-style leaves me feeling sad and discouraged.

I think you are missing a key change in this version of the apocalypse.  No one dies.  You instantly respawn at the same age in the new world.  It's the world that is wiped, not your character or lineage.

Umm, isn't server 1 the only server that's regularly sustained through nocturnal infertility?  And aren't most college kids still home?  I wouldn't expect nocturnal infertility to strike Server 1 for the next few days.  Not that any lineages have been making it twenty-four hours lately...

But yeah, if there's anyone who can lock the general public out of an area...it'd be Tarr.

Good Job, Crazy Eddie.  Thanks for sharing.

Jason,

I don't really care if you change this particular mechanic, do what you want.

I do want to let you know - I'm not loyal to my lineage.  I'm loyal to towns that are good.  Based on this post, I'm not sure you realize how common that is.

When you imply that "keeping villages alive forever" is a problem, it worries me.  If we do a good job of reviving a place repeatedly, will you make more changes that make it harder to find again?  For example, see my threads on what I call the "Two Bell Berry Patch".  I've played in this same town in more than half a dozen families over a couple of weeks.  I've been the only baby of a wandering Eve who discovered the road system and ran joyously to the heart of the abandoned town.  (not a re-spawned Eve) I find it fun to go back and see what has changed.

I get that we will lose all the towns every couple of months to a server wipe - like when you added the jungle biome.  But based on this conversation, I'd like some assurance you see a place for the rediscovery of old towns as part of the gameplay, and not an accident of your changes to the Eve spiral.

Maybe you've clarified this in the past...but as a player that joined with the Steam tsunami, I wasn't part of those conversations.
