Re: Adding marriage - poll about how you find its priority
I'd rather not see politics in the game. I play the game in part to escape politics and introducing 21st century SJW orthodoxy into a late stone age game would ruin most of its charm for me. So for that reason, I think introducing marriage is a bad idea.

Re: Adding marriage - poll about how you find its priority
Since when marriage is something political? Let's leave out 2020 drama out of this, this is a game in another period of time. The elks should decide what to add, if they decide to add something, based on what happened then, aka history, not politics. I personally definitely want somekind of marriage and even the possibility to have toddlers, even if they will never grow up. For an added challenge and for the fun of it. Since little cubs have been implemented in the game, why not have a few kids too. March 26, 2020, 11:30:55 AM |

Re: Adding marriage - poll about how you find its priority
If they decide to do that they will be called nasty names.There is a simple solution for abusing people. It's called banning them. So if someone becomes like that, bye. I don't see why the rest of the people have to be punished because of a small minority of aggressive persons. March 26, 2020, 06:46:41 PM |

Essentially people that can leverage a ton of bad press and possibly get the game "cancelled" as far as the mainstream is concerned. Potentially anyway, but not necessarily. If this did happen, I don't think such a campaign would be successful if Sami sticks to what is historically accurate and doesn't give in by apologizing for doing nothing wrong. Him and his team would also have to be careful not to fan the flames of outrage if this came to pass, but I think URW would get through the drama unscathed. Marriage is on the development table, what form it will take, we don't know. http://www.unrealworld.fi/urw_development.html April 05, 2020, 09:13:27 PM |

Re: Adding marriage - poll about how you find its priority
I think there are at least two aspects of this, 1. Having and raising a family This I think this needs to be in the game at a mechanical level anyway, because we're also talking about things like animal husbandry and wildlife having young. It would also be nice to see this for the NPCs; to see children in villages grow up and for them to bond with other village members and also have babies. So ultimately what we're talking about is implementing some life cycle system to the game, which would also apply to human NPCs, and then would also apply to the player. The player should be able to do it, simply because NPCs should be able to do it. You would find a mate, divide responsibilities, and then I think like others have said, the only real way to manage the baby is for it to happen all of the sudden because there's no good mechanic for it. Perhaps a chance that the wife gets pregnant if you're sleeping in the same room, with the chances going up the more time you spend together, or depending on some emotional relationship between the two of you that is tracked by the game somehow (such as the game determining if you're angry with each other or in positive relations, though I'm not sure how exactly that would be tracked). Then the pregnancy would come to term and there would be a baby. 2. The ceremony This would be not just finding a mate to bond with, but having some type of ritual to mark the occasion and seal the bond and officially make you married. Generally speaking, I think it would be nice to see things like village festivals and festivities in the game. I can't speak much to what went on in Iron Age Finland, so I'm just thinking of what might go on in a Medieval village, where you might have some festival decorations like wreaths and garlands, and feasts, and music, and singing and dancing. I've been looking at old shepherd's almanacs, and the winter months after the harvest are set aside as a kind of feasting period. Then by May again, you get allusions to festivals again with May wreaths and so on. The point being that right now it seems that there's no real social life to villages. Like a lot of things in the game, it feels villages exist to be primarily instrumental to gameplay, which is not the wrong focus for the start. But things can be expanded to make villages feel as if they have a life of their own, and then bringing the same mechanics for NPCs to the player also makes sense here.

Re: Losing Braincells While Trying to Find Camouflaged Reindeer
I feel your pain, there are a number of quests that involve a search, forest cover is perhaps the worst of these because the only thing that you can find is tracks. Here are the tips I can think of to help.
Bear in mind there's no great penalty for failing a quest, you can sometimes go back to the NPC and tell them you give up. That might help you get another quest in a more timely manner, but I think I've had two quests active at a single time before. I have somewhat of a love/hate relationship with the search quests but it always feels rewarding when I find what I've spent time looking for. December 03, 2021, 03:20:39 AM |

Re: Losing Braincells While Trying to Find Camouflaged Reindeer
The forest cover quest is the worst of them all, in my view. It just gives you a large area, without any context (terrain), and you can easily pass by tracks at a fairly short distance without being able to see them (especially with spruce hiding most of everything), and the tracks can only be seen in reasonable light conditions, which aren't available for much of the day for large parts of the year. The robber quest doesn't specify any terrain either, but in that case you have both tracks and the robbers themselves (which are always more than one), which reduces the risk of missing them when visiting their tile quite a bit. Explicitly telling the NPC that you give up speeds up getting a new quest, as the game doesn't have to time out the quest before generating a new one (or maybe even start the cool down counter). The only quests I've had in parallel with other quests are the ones with a very long expiration time where it can take months to actually be able to perform the quest (e.g. acquire wealth to be able to afford a silver item and then actually find someone [typically a trader] to sell you one, before finally being able to perform the quest itself).

It's been a while...
Hi, everyone. Today I've downloaded the game and played since years. The love for this game haven't ended, and it feels so good to play it again. ---- Mila from the Reemiläiset just spent her first in-game day. Did some exploration around an abandoned camp. It was really rainy. After wondering around, picking some berries, set a snare-loop and simple traps, noticed she was sweating all the time. Gotta took off that heavy and warm fur over-coat, beeing chest naked. Soon she'll get some lighter, perhaps a woollen shirt or so. So far no human at sight, nor activity besides that camp. In the way back to the shelter, spotted both a glutton and bear. Reminded her 3 initial rituals, all of them Bear-related. Night time is aproaching, and Mila just wonder where the road might take her. ------ Wanna thanks both developers and workers of this amazing game. And also recalling how I've not sent any squirrel furs so far. Need to contribute economically, and yet you guy keep updating the download section for free. That's really honorable. And lastly, hope you're all doing well. Summer is getting closer here. And I hope that in in-game summer as well, Mila and I get surprised and get to have good experiences together. From South America, Regards¡ December 11, 2021, 03:24:30 AM |

Re: Unreal World Redrawn
This is awesome! Seems you are focusing on the aspects where I felt Spirited Sprites fell flat. It was always a NPC and animal focused pack, the rest was more or less just the stuff I had made for myself, with no real direction. Looking forward to seeing where this leads! I think I was missing some features from the game, to really enjoy making the nature sprites. Such as the ability to add variation to ground tiles and plants especially.
