One Hour One Life Forums

You can't log in to the official servers with more than one session at a time.

I think every one should listen to this. If you're frustrated with the game, listening to Jason talk about his ideals and game/life philosophy will really help you to understand why the game is the way it is.

I think it was bad timing between the launch of the game and GDC. Having Jason go away for a whole week while the game is very much in its infancy has meant lots of griefing and generally a not-so-great experience for new players, with more experienced players starting to get bored and jaded and not keen on helping/teaching newer players.

But there is still an enthusiastic core of players, and Jason is back now, so I don't think the game is dead. There will be some people who have stopped playing now who will come back to it after a few updates.

For myself, I have grown tired of playing it in its current state, so I'm working on a mod for it instead

Day and night would be weird. You'd have six days every second. A season would be 15 seconds long.

Mind you, carrots take "four years" to grow, so I guess we could have night last several "years" in game.

No, it doesn't expire.

The download link is in the email you received when you bought the game. You can redownload from there. Or just re-use the same downloaded installer/archive that you originally used and reinstall it from that.

My latest mission is to get dressed and head east to look for gold, then set up a forge, make a pick and mine the gold. I haven't actually got that far yet. The closest I've got was creating the pickaxe, then heading towards the gold and getting eaten by a wolf hiding behind a tree. I was 57 anyway ^_^

"Actually, this is my modern home office. Civilization in the rest of the game hasn't gotten quite this advanced yet. Maybe someday though."

* walks away from the office so that it is out of view *

"Everything you see here exists on a persistent server. It starts out full of untouched wilderness and it's up to us, the players, to rebuild civilization from scratch together."

* skip ahead *

"But really, all of this is just the beginning. As players continue climbing up through the tech tree, I'll be staying one step ahead of them by adding new stuff to the game every week."

* car and monorail go past, a monorail/car that is a ridiculously huge technological jump over anything previously demonstrated *

"As we rebuild civilization together, who knows where we'll end up."

* robot shoots him *

So, this, to me, suggests that the robot is a possibility, not implemented in the game at all and that the very premise of the game is that we start at the beginning and eventually lead to future technology, NOT that it already exists in the game.

But yeah, maybe he didn't explain it explicitly enough. Email him and ask for a refund.

Another feature that might be helpful in catching sneaky killers would be if graves also showed relationship on mouseover, and also how they died, at least while they're fresh. Then the killer would at least have to take measures to "bury" the body (by moving it with a basket).

The way Jason has coded the game, there isn't much that can be gained from hacking. You can't trick the server into letting you move faster or anything like that. Sure, the client can be modified to make more use of the information that it does get from the server. I don't think this is going to hurt the game. Griefers gon grief and they're already overpowered, so a little more power doesn't change much.

Minimaps and radars and such might even be implemented as actual in-game tech at some point anyway.

The first thing I looked for was the milkweed. Glad to see you emphasize the fruiting only rule. Good video!
