One Hour One Life Forums

Whoops, just checked. I thought you'd use the thread with a needle on the reed but no, it's a regular thread without needle so sorry for the misinformation.

I love diversity but what exactly is the problem you are trying to solve?

LOL! I don't think an account can be taken down with a single flag. Especially if it's for unjustified reasons such as spite. It was probably a bot, a mistake on Github's side.

I trust that you are completely right, but I that's why we have you, the designer, no? Earlier you criticized players who shared suggestions or complaints saying that they should stop that and do a better job at figuring out the problems in the game. Sorry, that's your job and you claimed to be one of the best at it.

It's one thing to test your game on someone, not wanting to pay attention to them thinking out loud. It's a different thing to tell all your players to shut up and play - disregarding players who spent their time caring deeply about your game and trying to come up with well thought-out suggestions (which are based on perceived problems the players have.)

In my opinion, even a wish like "I'd love if there were tables in OHOL" or a useless comment like "it's not fun enough", even if it doesn't fit into your vision of the game, should not be disregarded so blatantly and openly. You don't have to fulfill any wish, you don't even have to read the criticism, you should be happy that it exists because it means people engage and feel strongly about something you made.

I can't figure out what you want from us or what you are trying to say. Basically what I understood is;

- You learn best from observing the player but OHOL is not suited for that approach.
- You don't have the time to go through our meaningless whining - "I'd like this", "I want that"...
- We are doing a lousy job at identifying the problems but it's because of our position as players so no wonder
- To be useful, we can still try and make clear statements of problems, but refrain from suggesting, requesting, complaining or engaging in other ways

I just think you are not aware of your tone and you need a PR person.

Can you please phrase your post as a PROBLEM, so Jason understands too?

Jason knows all game designers personally (at least the good ones) and they are the only ones he listens to.

I think that's the big problem, they don't give him honest critique. They probably don't want to hurt his feelings.

With "going live on steam" I meant "being released on Steam."

I completely agree,I would rather have better farming, fire and clothes than robots and cars, but some people have complained over that. And it wasn't even an explicit promise to begin with.

There's a desk in the trailer though. Where are our tables and desks, Jason?!

The beauty of this game is that it's being improved weekly, as we speak. But, having said that, it also means that you will not get all at once. As the developer, Jason has to set priorities. I don't like the last few updates, some people do. But I respect Jason's decisions. After all I believe he's trying to do a good job, which probably includes making a fun game while at the same time keeping the integrity of his initial concept. We had much more horrible updates in the past ( apocalypse, dogocalypse,...) but they were fixed rather quickly. Of course we should complain when it's appropriate, but also we need to have a bit more patience and understanding. Complaining about sand being useless right now when it was just added is out of place in my opinion. We as the players should set priorities too. Many simple things are missing or don't make sense in this game, but obviously the greatest priority right now is giving dogs a purpose. Where are the hunting dogs, shepherds, retrievers and guarding dogs? My patience has its limits!

Marriages are very much a thing. Incest happens now way more often than before.

Rohrerianity and the cult of the Eternal Goose are two major religions right now, with many branches and sects and also satanists or nosajists worshiping the nosaj. I think the goose cult is actually a branch of the three pillar cult but I am no expert. The banana was worshiped until it got nerfed. Bear and carrot cults have died out entirely. Here is an example of a rohrerian church (courtesy of bENdl from Discord)

I've never heard someone say "in the bush"... what does it mean?

Yeah that was vague, sorry. I meant a time estimate as in the time that you will spend crafting something (if that can be calculated in some way)... Maybe something in addition to the difficulty level. It says that it's hard to make, but what does that mean? Can I do it in my lifetime?

To help decide if I should even attempt making it or focus on something else that I can finish... Of course it would depend greatly on many factors but it's just an estimate. IDK.

I meant the  "What's new in release X" page, where content and transitions are grouped according to commits I guess. I would personally prefer if the whole group is shown right away because I expand them all anyway but nvm, it's just a nitpick.

The only truly fleeing animals that I know are shorn sheep and escaped horse. False fleeing animals just randomly choose where to go regardless of the players position. I felt like people could interpret the word wrong (I did).

I love it! I have a berry pen design in mind. What do you use to draw those images?
