One Hour One Life Forums

Hi Redram. The link to the forum was right there in the screenshot. Contacting the reviewers is an effort to make sure they've heard more sides than they until then had done.

Turns out I can! My new rendering method leads to much better results on YouTube than the last one.

Thank you for explaining your side! I think a lot of the community is struggling with this, trying to understand what has happened. Sharing information helps everyone in such circumstances.

Ah yes. 2000 is the default in the code but its been overridden by a settings file to be 250. Thank you.

This is the eve spawning pattern. Every time the server is spawning a new Eve it picks the next location along a spiral with a constant pitch (of around 2000 tiles I believe). This makes Eve spacings fairly consistent and fills in the space quite efficiently. Every time the server restarts a new spiral starts centred on a previous camp (the camp is selected based on lineage lengths IIRC).

Yes indeed. I tried to make the camera dynamic, focusing where there is activity. Stopping it from snapping to donkey town was actually hard sometimes. That is the spiral you see though.

Yeah, I need to find something that works on mobile maybe.

The video shows births there's a build up on intensity with frequency but they have a maximum visible radius of 100 tiles. So larger camps might be 300 tiles across, no more. Longevity plays no part except in that long lives lead to more births. The affect of a single birth lasts for two game hours, which seemed to give a nice ebb and flow to the animation. Then there's some blending effect to get it nice glow on each one camp.

I clicked on the link.

Regarding trademarks. To me it seems that the name of the mobile app is the most confusing thing about it. It is the thing everyone reads and it certainly implies your involvement or approval. Trademark exist in part to protect consumers from being mislead about the origin of goods and services. I assume you allowed the use of the mark in this case, but doesn't that action contribute to the confusion? Even if you don't mind others using the name itself shouldn't you take the word mark seriously? Even if it is just, "you can use the name but must highlight prominently that you are not the original author of the work".

Incidentally, this is now the second longest thread on the forum.

I hope you’re right, Eddie.

Jason hasn’t changed his position on copyright throughout this though. He says so up top.

Eddie, I was sure I remembered him saying something like that but I was searching around and couldn't fine the source. So I couldn't say so affirmatively. Do you know where it is?

Yes, that's a hard limit. You need to find more wild plants.

It used to be three uses on squash seeds but Jason reduced it to one.

Maybe two would be better? Let you slowly expand your crop.
