I streamed the game on Twitch for 6 hours today and while many people on the forums have expressed the same bugs I experienced, all in all, I had a lot of fun! It wasn't until this evening that I realized that most, if not all, of the people in my stream throughout the day were people in these forums, including Daynab himself (I think)! I was recognizing names left and right as I was reading through suggestions and comments. To me, there already seems to be a very helpful and fun community coming from this game and that speaks very highly of the devs and the work they have put into not only the game, but their communication with all of us. I do, however, think that I may have won the game on behalf of the Monarchy. I discovered that when I had between 20-30 people, cultists would begin to form rapidly. This was not so much of a problem because whenever I saw the "Cultist" icon above their heads they would shortly thereafter receive Frontier Justice! Once all of the cultists were removed, a new group would come in from the motherland and the same thing would happen. It became quite the pattern that was fun for awhile but got stale. I was basically on a rinse and repeat witch hunt for about 30 minutes or so. It was still fun, but again, somewhat predictable. At that point I had sustainable food and had built just about everything. Therefore, the Monarchy wins! The other aspect of Frontier Justice that was a bit awry was that when I marked multiple people with Frontier Justice (ie. half the town) they would just run to a specific spot on my stockpile and congregate there. This usually occurred when I didn't have a soldier to take them out. Then once a solder came over on the next ship, they would pick up a gun and go to town. The people that were marked never moved, and stopped performing all functions even after 10 minutes of no one coming after them. Finally, please add a graveyard. I can only take the eating of the dead for so long... Well done devs, and keep up the great work. Great game, and great community! People of the Cog unite!
Six continual hours?! Wow, I'm impressed. Or did you start a couple of colonies? Anyhow, it's *hugely* encouraging that people want to stream the game, and that people want to watch people streaming it. Fantastic. Re: cults - yes, it's a bit overenthusiastic. I'm not sure what's going on with the stockpiles yet. Re: graveyards - not for Monday, but possibly for Friday. We have half a graveyard implemented.
Hey! yeah I popped in briefly and immediately heard a kid say "you got killed!" couldn't stay in cause my internet wasn't good enough to watch you stream. We were talking about it in our IRC channel though. Glad to hear you're having fun with it!
Nicholas, It was two hours in the morning, two hours in the afternoon, and finally two in the evening. I think I must have gone through 4-6 colonies during that time. My people are looking forward to burying their dead instead of eating them. Thank you for the info!
Isn't half a graveyard just a yard? Also hey jive I saw a bit of your stream it was interesting to watch
