One Hour One Life Forums

TBH, i'm pretty convinced that if we actually send out iron expeditions and recycle, we do in fact have the relative prosperity to be able to afford to bury our dead.

Firstly, i'm really hostile to IP, and admire Jason's choice to put this in the pubic domain.

However, i've unsuccessfully tried to convince a lot of people to play this game, which is how I found out about the mobile version.

Even with my feelings on IP, I got a bad feeling from the general premise of making a mobile game that was a direct copy. it wasn't obvious to my friend that it was an unofficial adaptation (this is a month or so ago)

There's not a great solution here, and it is my view that the mobile developers are broadly deserving of the profits they've earned for the work which has been done, including adapting and translating. I think it's going to be a net positive for the PC game userbase [and it would suck to play on a touch screen anyway, i don't think they can make a better experience]

I don't think there's more to be done than accept "An unofficial mobile adaptation of the open-source game by Jason Rohrer" in the description and remain feeling kind of uncomfortable about it.

Though, adding native support for Asian languages would really help you cash in on the game's popularity in Asia.

Also you can plant from bowl of wheat, that changed my life. One time just before i found that out wheat had "ran out" and i was running to get it and it despawned on me etc lol

As far as things i want, i'm not much of an advanced tech guy so there's not like, a specific thing i'm crazy for, but I'd like to see more use for existing things

- no carcasses should be useless, and on top of food, there should be fat as a resource, from seals and pigs.
- multiple compost recipes. I KNOW Jason didn't want there to be a "Best" food, and with mutton pie as a byproduct of compost it always will be
- multiple recipes for stew, and also the ability to make succotash. (There's no reason a stuffed squash couldn't be set on sharp stone. And how are there no stews that use carrots, potatoes, or milk)
- kerosene heat
- full body robes for the desert that still help you with heat in cold biomes.
- the ability to have two home markers. You'd need a way it isn't confusing, but potentially just a second way to make them that is a different marker.

or better yet on your front so you can still wear a backpack.

huh, i just got yellow fever by myself with a sealskin coat on and was fine, but i usually have some yum bonus when running around, and was on ice.

the ash pile actually disappears pretty damn quickly once you move the crock off of it. I don't know how long but it couldn't be more than 2 minutes.

And yeah, make the stew at a station and then deliver it to various places. i often start the fires myself, but a decent amount of players are smart enough to make a raw stew pot you leave near them.

I like to set up one in the nursery, one by the bakery, and one by the fields if I'm making stew. It's one of the more convenient foods for sitting next to you while you're working.

why do they need a ticket to use your private server?

Obviously, if they're paying for the game and can't access it, that's a major problem, but what you're paying for is server access

in general, buying a video game is a gamble.

If it works on your computer and you can connect to the servers and the game is playable, a person is not generally entitled to a refund.

FFS it's a $20 dollar game and you have lifetime access. The fact that a bunch of us love the game and play it all the time shows that whether or not one likes it is a matter of taste and preference.

This is a weird experimental game, that should have been obvious when purchasing server access.

Edit: what does "sleeping user" mean? Suspended?

I gotta say, now that i know smithing it's both not that complicated and also something i always find myself hopping in and out of doing lol

Though in my last life i did really successful iron runs, and brought home almost 40 total.

it could be as easy as clicking on oneself while holding a flint chip.

I'm having some new problems since these updates. Now there are random disconnects where the screen just goes black suddenly, and I saw someone else lagging into a berry bush. This happened 5 in my last childhood. It hadn't happened the one before where i was in an Eve camp, so it seems to be affected by the number of people and items around.

The screen also doesn't track my character as well now, especially when i'm being held, I'm on the edge of the screen a lot more.

I definitely want kerosene stoves for warmth so we're not using all the wood all the time, it does become a problem later one, and since we have kerosene anyway...

I'm for sure one of these people who doesn't learn end game, in part because i'm more interested in agriculture in general but also because there's always so much shit to do to keep a village alive.

I did finally learn blacksmithing though in my string of being men in new villages that didn't survive yesterday. Usually there are other people trying to do it and i don't want to be in the way. I was so proud of myself when I produced the villages first axe and shovel too
