I saw this game first on youtube. After first video i was instantly hooked and started to plan a purchase of my personal ability to contribute to an entirely player based development of civilization. And it deserves every coin i've put into it. It's not only fun game, it's also a great social experiment driven by the developer only by including new content every week and entire community of this game. We choose to build, whe choose to grow and farm, we choose to hunt, we choose to raid and defend, whe choose to survive and thrive. Players are gods of this game and slaves of it. And nobody knows the way this game will take. Well, at least the main server that we all play on.
But everything is imperfect. And i want to complain about a number of things I found uncomfortable.
1. When you are born, during first 7-8 minutes, that is being baby, you essentially don't play. You just stay in place to conserve food bar (or you can run around and make life harder to your carer). Life after life it becomes proportionally more tedious. It's bad because you don't play, but it's good because it is one of the essential cogs of a game itself.
2. There must be writing. Developer MUST include writing system in one form or another into game. It's a natural development. I see clay tablets as most fitting at this moment. Not letters necessarily, but some wedge writing maybe. Or at least some primitive signs. Jeez, some sign system PLZ!
3. Player can't use bear skin or any other skin except rabbit skin for clothes or other skinmade stuff. I just don't see any valid reason for this. It seems for me like artificial limitation. Well, player can use wolf skin for a hat and bear skin as a carpet. But that almost doesn't count. There is a lot of other useful stuff to do with so much skin.
4. Player can't take apart many things. For example in one life i made several wooden boxes for storage. But someone happily attached shafts to them. I wanted to dismantle shafts so nobody could carry these boxes out, but haven't found any means to do so. So i think it would be good to add an ability to dismantle stuff step by step in some way.
5. Leafs, wheat seeds and tinder is expiring too fast. Sometimes it disappears right in my hand or backpack. I mostly concerned about wheat seeds.
6. It's not a complain, but rather an idea - armor? Some personal defense? Cuz these damn raiders (village defenders)(bears, wolfs)!
That' s about all i can think of right now. Maybe I don't know something and there is a way to dismantle things or you actually can cut bear skin and so on. Anyhow it's my experience.
T hank you, Jason Rohrer, for this wonderful game. I enjoy it very much. |
