I may be wrong but I think we lose much more new players than old players, so I don't believe in phrases like "people quit because that or that update", but it may be the case for new players tho. New players may feel bored in high tech towns where they can't find a job where they would actually feel like they helped surviving family - at my beginnings I hated playing in high tech towns, I always /died after seeing engine pump well - there was no rift yet, so I could play in low tech towns.
I'm also interested in a graph showing after how many hours people quit playing. I feel like most people quit right after buying the game because that's how I felt at beginning, I felt like quiting after my first game.
If I didn't find out how to make private server and teach by myself, I would probably quit. Same with zoom mod, if I didn't find out about it, I would probably quit too. Letting people know about onetech.info also should be a thing IMO.
This notification about new players is helping, but I feel like it's not enough. Game feels much better when you can see entire town, I wish zoom was implemented to the game, I think it would encourage players to stay. There was no single person who didn't like the idea of zooming, and I tell about zoom every new player I teach.
If this was added it would be also great if there was auto-finishing name thing when pressed TAB button.
I mean if someone for example has name Annaalexandra you could just write "an" and press tab and it would automatically correct to Annaalexandra. It would be cool if it worked even in the middle of a sentence. For example "nice to see you ann" then press TAB and it would autocorrect to "nice to see you Annaalexandra".
I see many new players coming, yet average players playing isn't increasing. I think many people may feel overwhelmed at beginning, some may have stopped playing because of that, that's how I felt at my first game. I like the way they did it in mobile version - there are separate tutorials for making fire, farming, cooking and smithing. It would be cool if you added separate rooms in tutorial for these 4 things.
I also think the game is almost unplayable without zoom mod... Well, I would definitely stop playing once zooming is no longer available. I wish zooming was an official thing. I feel like people would be more likely to stay if they could see more, it's much funnier to play this way IMO. And definitely it's unfair for people who have no zoom compared to people with zoom.
I just want more people playing.
I like it
Maybe it's because we had so nice town outside that nobody wanted to spawn anywhere else ![]()
What caused the apocalypse? Both families were alive.
Regardless, I do feel your pain and appreciate your frustration.
Kid, are you insulting me? I have no pain at all, nor feel any frustration. I play the game as it is and I always find many stuff to do. I always help the town I live in. I just understand why people want to reset arcs. Grieffing is bad, but there is nothing bad in wars and trying to end an arc through a war.
Destroying towns to reset the arc is asshole behavior.
I could say not letting people reset the arc is also asshole behaviour
Seems like this game at current state can't make everyone happy. Lack of content after reaching high tech is the problem. Builders can find fun, but there are other people too.
I think you maybe just lack imagination.
More like lack of purpose. I could do all these useless stuff you mentioned, but I bought this game for the beauty of survival it provides... Up to a certain point sadly
As for the creative part, I think there are better games for that.
I would help you ending the arc if there was a way to do this without grieffing. I actually would want to participate in wars, but they always last so little time. Let's build a boring garden instead
There is not much else to do.
I prefer to play in early towns simply because there are things to do. I like survival part of the game. There is no more survival and no more things to do in advanced towns and that's the issue for me.
Give us something to do in more advanced towns and I will like playing them as well.
It works, thanks. I always had this ugly slowmo when zoomed out. I think it's a bug or smth, I don't think my fps could be dropping on my beast pc.
The only reason it exists is to allow people that don't give names, that just say "you are g" or "you are b" and let fate decide
It autocorrects to the closest name in the list. It would be fun tho if it would be a random name for given letter if only one letter was given.
How about adding underground level? Ideas for how it would look and work would be plenty I believe.
Or just make cars actually useful instead of useless like they are rn, so we can advance to next level riding. Make a car running for 5 hours with one tanking.
I wish it was 15 seconds.
I heard this game have some issues with fps on some pcs that will be fixed. It's early stage of game, maybe just give it some time.
Also a person with many curses shouldn't destroy my cursing strength by unfairly cursing me. So a person with let's say has 10 curses would add me only 0.2 curse score.
I think it would be very easy to implement this.
Cursing strength could solve this issue. The more curses a player have the smaller area ban he gives to someone who he cursed.
That player with over 90 curses would add only let's say 5 tiles area ban to person who he cursed.
I would definitely curse back sometime who cursed me for no reason because this is also grieffing. That's obvious grieffers will have more curses than regular players.
That would be another reason to stop grieffing. People would want to have good curse strength.
There was some kind of sand game in the past, but made by different people. Maybe this:
I used to play it years ago ![]()
Honestly I think the rift is actually too large. What's the point of all that empty space.
Maybe making rift random size each arc would be fun? I don't want larger rift too btw.
I like watering can idea and natural sounds.
Watched some youtube about this game and it looks cool, I will probably get it.
Why are telling us about this game tho? It feels so weird since you are OHOL developer and you are advertising another game... Did they pay you for this? ![]()
Nice screenshot... 6666 ![]()
Also grieffers lost their power. I feel like arc will last for too long now. I know most people will be happy with that, but personally I prefer 3 days arcs.
I kinda feel like this arc won't end untill we run out of oil.
BTW, I could change it so that when your mother says, "YOU ARE PENIS", and then you find your name is PENELOPE by mousing over yourself..... I could auto-process her naming phrases before it is spoken to say YOU ARE PENELOPE. That would improve immersion a bit....
I like it
Most of these would make no sense. For example you can't turn knitting needles back to that big skewers in real life and this game tries to imitate reality. You can always plant some skewers, it's not that much work with it.
I can agree with this "Wooden Wheel with Tire cant be turned back to the tire and a wheel" and with removable engines from cars, Jason said he will make them removable.
