One Hour One Life Forums

Great post, Thaulos. It's like you're reading my mind and putting my thoughts into words.

Random idea that just popped into my head: What if it rained during the Eve window, automatically watering any planted seeds every ten seconds? This, along with maybe spreading out soil deposits across the map, would make every well site a viable starting location. It would also make the Eve window visually distinct and it would feel like a big deal when you spawn into a world of rain. After the Eve window is over the rain is gone until the end of the arc, and if your family worked hard enough you should have a well and a farm up and running, ready to supply your family while you drain the surrounding environment of resources.

My only hope is that Jason pushes out this update today so we don't have to wait until Monday for any potential tweaks and fixes. 500x500 is really small, and I don't think it's enough for a game with ~100 average players.

This is a big part of it IMO. Previously those races had a 66% chance of babies being girls compared to 50% of the other families, which meant their towns lived longer and were more populated. Now that there's two new male models they have only a 40% chance of babies being girls, which means they die out much more quickly on average.

The score goes from 0 to 60. The simplest explanation is that every time you die your score moves closer to your age of death. If your score is 40 and you die at age 20, the score will go down. If you die at age 60, your score will go up.

The same applies to your direct descendants (kids, grandkids, great grandkids) that were born while you were still alive. When they die your score is modified depending on your age - if they die at an age below your score your score goes down, and vice versa.

In case you are male it works similarly, except the fact that it looks at your nieces/nephews instead of your kids.

If you killed your babies your score would plummet very quickly since they would be dead at age 0.

If your baby uses the /die command it does not affect your score, but it affects their score.

The best way to maximize your score is to live to 60 and do your best to keep your kids/grandkids safe from harm.

Theoretically you could lock your kids in a room with pies, but it's very likely that they would starve themselves rather than live out their life in prison.

What if the cap for everyone was 12, but new players earned life at a higher pace? When you have 0 hours played you get one new life every ten minutes, and for every hour of playtime it takes one more minute to earn a life, up to 60 minutes per life when you have 50 hours played.

The fault is on me I think, I was way too stern and I definitely wasn't clear enough. Sorry I made you feel bad, it wasn't my intention!

Random observation, but the victim is blushing. Could it be that snowballing a perosn that's emoting has a chance to kill them for some reason? Tarr killed a baby that persumably wasn't emoting manually, but it did have the snow splat emote.

Theoretically, would a biome where every tile had a 100% chance to spawn an invisible unwalkable object be possible?

The biome background would be the actual water texture, and this would result in unwalkable 'lakes' that serve no purpose except to look cool. Seeing them break up the map would make the map generation a bit more interesting, and having villages by a lake would look nice.

Of course people would start asking for some actual uses for this biome with time which would mean a ton more work.

It's not a null effect, it has made a massive difference and improved the quality of the game significantly IMO.

If OHOL was exclusively a Patreon-supported game I wouldn't have picked it up. I prefer to pay for something and then have it rather than having to pay a subscription.

Yeah, I feel like that's kind of the point. This won't really affect 95% of players at all, the only ones who it does affect are the ones that just endlessly spam /die. I think it's great although it's still a bit early to tell.

That note was right there below Alix's grave, so I figured that by safehouse you meant the park. There were a few other buildings but I wouldn't call any of them a safehouse.
