Re: My first bear.
Ahh one's first bear. Your character seems to be out in the frosty snow. A trusted companion Reindeer with you. The vast wilds. What was everyone else's most memorable bear? Well mine comes from the tale of Beodrin. His story began with the tragic death of his father on a hunting trip. The random generated creature.... a bear!!  It gets better. We were on an island! The man killing bear, dead dad and me. At his point in my gaming and modding I thought you could only use leather to make rope. Rope to make a raft. To get off the island. To escape the man killer bear. Now where could I get leather? Oh oh. There is only one source. The bear that killed my dad! For weeks I lived on the southern part of the island. The bear ruled the north. On one daring dash I recovered dad's gear. I learned to sleep surrounded by traps. Fences, too, later learning man and bear alike could easily kick them down. When a night's sleep was interrupted with "you think you hear something nearby" oh spirits was I worried! There was only so many berry bushes on the island. Both me and the bear were eating them. Finally I had enough leather from small game to make one, not three, ropes. So I made a the three tree trunk bear killer. Coming back later indeed the bear had gotten into the trap. Alive. Angry. Roaring. I tossed my three javelins for minor wounds. I tossed rocks and stones. I tossed many things. Where I could I went close to toss them again. Again and again I tossed things at the father killer. All the while the risk of it escaping the trap growing. Perhaps my father's spirit was there. Holding the trap down on the bear. After an arc of the sun the bear fell unconscious from dozens of minor wounds and blood loss. Most of bleeding wounds had even stopped bleeding. Cautiously creeping forward the death stabs to the neck were made. The bear died soon. I had, I thought, to turn the bear into leather. So Beodrin lived a few weeks more on Bear Island to dehair the hide. Finally the raft was made and he sailed onto greater adventures. Before his death becoming known as Beodrin Two Bears, who killed two bears and wore them both. Yes he wore his father's killer. As leather armor. Ah, but those are stories for another day.

Random little additions...
Summer days are truly different. Oh how easily one can end up being carried away with all sorts of recreational activities and events. But I'm frequenting the coding chambers as well, especially on rainy days  -- and now, instead of organized update post, here's a completely random bunch of few small additions to expect in the next patch:- added: skinned/cut/burnt carcass coloring Skinned carcasses now appear in fleshy red color. Cut or eaten carcasses appear dark reddish, and burnt carcasses blackish depending on the cut/burn degree. - added: BUTCHER_CONFIRMATION configuration option If the option is enabled a confirmation prompt appears if you try to butcher a carcass before skinning it. This is to avoid accidentally cutting up the whole carcass and losing the skin. To enable the option add the following line to urw_ini.txt setup file in your installation folder: [BUTCHER_CONFIRMATION:YES] - added: SPEND_DELAY_ADD configuration option This option can be used to slow down all the time consuming actions if you find the game turns running too fast for your taste during the time spending dialog. The given value is in milliseconds adding that much more delay for each game turn. Good value to try slowin things down a bit would be 10 and nobody wants to go for more than 100. To use eg. 10 millisecond custom delay add the following line to urw_ini.txt setup file in your installation folder: [SPEND_DELAY_ADD:10] - added: winter skin/fur descriptor And as we know winter furs are more valuable, and it's been like that for a long time. Now there's finally also an indication of wintertime furs and skins within the item description. For example: "Fine winter fox fur" or "Poor winter bear-skin" - renewed & optimized: drawing of rain and snowfall Previously rain and snowfall were drawn in putpixel fashion which was a speed issue on some systems. Now rain and snowfall presented by tile graphics, with improved look and fast rendering. - added: redrawn 8 directional tiles for watercrafts Both punt and raft now appear bigger and prettier in completely redrawn fashion. Credits for these tiles goes to Paulo Spinola. Watercraft tile direction changes based on the last actually rowed direction.     July 02, 2017, 08:09:25 PM |

Re: Random little additions...
... It would be neat if I could trade xx lbs of Fine winter bear-skin to a craftsman (expanding on npc interaction/dialog) and return in some time to pay/pick up my new set of Masterwork Bear-skin cloth(s). July 04, 2017, 02:17:57 AM |

...fails to deliver a summer release || ...enters summer vacation.
Code: [Select] You dream of a summer release.You know, that's what has happened to me. Like mentioned in earlier posts I dreamed of a summer release, and a proper long holiday afterwards. But...we're behind the schedule with several planned goals and just can't make it. Deadlines and summer - I should have known they don't go together. So, hopes to come up with a new patch is thus postponed after the summer. I'll be entering summer vacation shortly, for the whole august. This means I'll be more absent in regards to game related forums and e-mail activity. Coding is to be continued in the autumn then, but some additional content is still to be expected sooner... Steam Trading cards Yeeees, the trading cards. That's what we will be releasing before I leave the development chambers. It's actually the trading cards (with emoticons, badges and all that extra) which have postponed my general working schedule more than expected. Ambitions can take time, you know, but we already love the outcome ever so much. So at least for Steam players there will be something new in UnReal World to browse during the summer. A proper, loud and clear announcement of Trading Card release will be posted when the time is at hand. You can still prepare yourselves, foreign and domestic card traders -- it's going to be beautiful! Greetings from horseback Code: [Select] You aim your bow at a target from the horseback and shoot.You know, and speaking of dreaming, that has also happened to me. For as long as I've been doing primitive and traditional archer I've dreamed of one day going for horseback archery. Until this summer it's been horseback riding and archery separately, but this very year I've picked up and entered this form of archery and horsemanship I've always craved for. This is going to be a dedicated horseback archery year for me, and whether I'm on a vacation or not, we just might see the next video greetings consisting of horseback archery footage. Meanwhile, I'll leave you with these few still shots. First from the horseback, then by the tranquil summer lakes around my neighborhood.     Best wishes. We'll catch up with everything in the autumn. But I'm sure at some point I'll be tempted to post a few holiday greetings as well. July 27, 2017, 02:01:46 PM |

Just Wow
I have never played something like this quite in my life before. The attention to detail and the realism is actually quite amazing. Being someone who has never played a rougelike (I think thats right), before, once I started I was instantly hooked. I could easily see myself playing this for many years to come. My like character drowned from swimming too far. It was a sad day indeed. But i say walk it off! Seriously brava! September 13, 2017, 07:16:21 AM |

Re: Just Wow
It is a phenomenal game. You'll also quickly learn that the community is just as awesome, so pop by any time.
This is definitely the core thing that makes the game so different. My characters are almost always too cowardly (or I am) to go confront njerps alone, so you end up doing things like gathering up NPCs to deal with threats, or even abandoning a trap fence until things seem less scary.

"Spirit of the forest, I presume"
Now that sort of a phrase may actually slip from your lips in the next version of the game as the Spirit of the Forest gets added to our small cast of otherworldly creatures. Reworked spells and many kind of spirit world additions has a major part in the galore of upcoming features, and manifestation and actual appearance of spirit of the forest is now featured and off my to-do list. Implementing a related quest (or two) is still required, but step by step the planned spirit world additions do gets wrapped up. As a necessary spin-off feature we also had to expand possible sacrifices to include not only foodstuff, but also valuables. See, offering silver has been traditionally very much linked to pleasing the certain spirits. And as the spells in the game now are actual collected old spells we had to add silver sacrifices if we wanted to add proper spells for "summoning" the spirit of the forest. (You may want to see post about the used "spellbooks" at old forums). You know, with this version it feels like our to-do things are proceeding really slow compared to the amount of work and energy put in. Seems like we're dealing with complex entities rather than simple isolated features. But there's the spirit of the forest now. He brought in so much more code and features than first assumed, but it all just had to be done. Let's not spoil too much about what the spirit of the forest can actually do for you, but we know he's an important spirit, watching over the forest and the animals. According to the folklore the spirit of the forest may sometimes tell you where the game is, if he's pleased with you. That, at least, is an actual feature now. And as a tidbit of our desired in-game perfection I gotta mention that these spirits often concentrate on only culturally important animals. Thus, the spirit of the forest can prioritize his observations differently for members of northern tribes than those of the western tribes. But now look at this fellow of one of the eastern tribes... He must have something right to hear this from..well...from the spirit of the forest, I presume.
