One Hour One Life Forums

Let's domesticate nanners.

Imagine when people went from before writing, before history, to a life with records from the past?
Imagine before we had stories, or spoke.

We had a future development plan, 4 years ago.
10,000 objects in 2 years.

And what do we have now?
4,000 objects in 4 years?

Plans don't mean a thing without Tom Bailey, or someone else, cracking a real whip on Jason, and Jason doing the same on someone else. We are not enough for Jason. We're not real people in his mind, we're text. Users on his servers; sources of input, in HIS data.

He needs real friends, not comments, emails, posts, or anything delivered to him via Mercury.

Saturn needs a Jupiter, a Venus, and a Mars, to sit with him for awhile atop Olympus.

Or he's just going to be Jewish and pretend to himself, he can do everything.

--

When he and Tom went their ways on this project, he took on twice the responsibility, but he also took twice the stress, and it has exceeded his threshold for tolerance, time and time again. Yet he has come back; rebounded, time and time again.

And don't bitch about specific numbers, like 10k or 2, it's work divided by time, no matter what you choose for the variables.

You understand.
So does Jason.

All that matters is what he does.
Now, who are we, in the meantime?

Nothing better, to talk about?
No great plans, or love stories?
Just - 'kill yourself here, so you don't have to live there'
I'm sorry.

Gotta point out, this is pretty clever.
Even above my first realization that pump beam kits were an efficient way to gather kindling & straight shafts.
Brilliant use of limited space, anytime, but especially for the earliest generations.

Indeed!

And also for not taking branches from nearby trees that less experienced players could be gathering a single branch at a time from. Not only does it save on personal travel time, but also affords others the convenience of the shorter trips if you are collecting them from grasslands afar, where you are also away from the local, limited, food supply.

Anyone reading this, please do consider the amount of time you spend traveling out and back in an early civ and try to keep in mind, we are most productive in this game when we are running through the A+B=C+D combinations as quickly as possible, not when we are running about, empty handed, searching for a single item.

Combine this sort of activity with good communication skills between an Eve and her children and everyone in a fresh civilization will make the most of their time, as the Eve informs each subsequent child of the direction and intent they ran off for, so as to minimize overlap passing by areas where the branches have already been pulled off, when needed, the milkweed has been plucked, or the wild food supply has been reduced.

Wanted to mention something else, but this reply has been sitting in a tab for hours. Just want to post it.
Thanks for mentioning this, Spoon.
& TY for being a resourceful player, Lovelyn, whoever you were.

Looks about right.

7x7 floorplan, yes, the one Cogito pointed out. I think that's the best compromise between warmth and indoor storage. But anything between 5x5 and 11x11 is okay, just stand near the center of anything bigger than 6x6 and you'll get the bonus, unless it's 12 or more in either direction, then you might as well save resources and work outside... I'm looking at you, smiths who insist on making 13x9 rooms...

I was the first view on these 3 videos.

What do I think about this (the game)? Mostly positive. I have to acknowledge my own bias when it comes to One Hour One Life and any offshoots of it. I am initially tempted to feel it will not be as good as the original, because I have put so much time into the original, but, that bias aside, I would love to see more games like OHOL, and with many of it's mechanics, on the market.

I will do my best to keep an open mind, and not think of this as merely a One Hour One Life clone.

Had I seen this without knowing it had any relation to OHOL, I would likely give it a try, were I in the mood for such a game.
OHOL satiates my desire for this genre, as is, but there are millions of people out there who I am certain would enjoy a game like this, perhaps, even more so than OHOL, given what I have seen of the colors and textures, as well as the animation.

Looks like a very ambitious project and I encourage everyone behind it to work hard and make it's market release the most successful possible for a game of this type.

And if you are curious about the relationship between the size of the room and the number of tiles inside that give indoor bonus:

Getting that indoor bonus is critical to saving on food, water, iron, oil and labor.
It matters a lot when it comes to determining the things your family, and anyone else that inhabits that town, will do, over the course of their habitation, in and around these structures.

30 extra days of freedom... judge said I should look for a job if I get the opportunity.
He applauded me for my effort in checking in with the local lumbermill/rehabilitation center, but they aren't hiring, they doubly aren't hiring, due to the season, and, the virus.
I really was looking forward to either cutting up firewood or working in a lumbermill, but neither avenues have yielded a job.

I don't know what to do, but it sure as shit isn't going to be gettin into any more fist fights with assholes.

Now, what to do with this game?

I played yesterday and this morning without streaming and it felt great. I miss not being mic'd and not having to play like I'm streaming, so, I'm probably going to do that. Sorry to the 5 people that watched me each day, but I need some time to myself, while still playing the game like a relentless addict.

I really do love the fact that I can stream videos of me being in the woods, in between lives, and people are okay with that, for the most part. I may even do some special challenge videos, maybe try to make some stuff in the game, in the wild, for real, and not just buy props at thrift stores.

Lot of other positive ideas I'd like to share, but I'm not even sure at this point how I MIGHT go about implementing them, so I'm not even going to mention them.

I'm falling asleep in the middle of writing this message. I'm pretty tired, but I'm glad I didn't sleep through court, like I may have done in the past. Now, time to get some real sleep.

I want you to hear me laugh https://www.twitch.tv/videos/827853801

I will try to reply to every other post in this thread, with something, but for now, enjoy that highlight of my last stream and, if you are the woman in the tutorial... MY DEEPEST APOLOGIES!

I can almost certainly say I have only done anything like that one, maybe two, times in my entire life, and never in the tutorial area.

You can watch more of the stream before or after that moment as long as it's available on Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/videos/826058714 and judge for yourself, if you are wondering whether I am a bad person or not, when playing.

It was a rare moment, spurred on by a few different physical pains, and, a desire to just give in.
I'm not proud or ashamed of it, it was a humorous thought.

I wish I could fully explain the last 3 years of my life to the person in this video to make them understand, and I do hope the are not scarred for life.

Consider this a confession if you like, but I always try to be transparent about who I am, what I think and how I feel.

May you enjoy the laughter, despite the wrong doing.

A poignant yet homunculous reply.

And you, reader?
What do you love most about being alive?

Don't make me keep my thoughts behind a property fence.

"That is MY grandfather's axe!"
"He was my grandfather too."

Love you, Spoon.
(Few but I will lift the weight of those words. Just want to let you know; I have.)
