I too am intrigued by this project. Would I be able to get a login as well please?

Bug, I'm not working on anything and it wont let me travel.
I have finished all my stone gathering projects.

exception 'Exception' with message 'You cannot start travelling while you are working on something.' in /home/tdammers/domains/tobiasdammers.nl/public_html/rpg/play/Roads.php:101 Stack trace: #0

Yes, I can move.
Soon I shall be making food!

A way to look off into the distance would be helpful, I don't need (or even want) a detailed map, just to know if there is a mountain or water in any particular direction.

Fishing at coastal regions would be nice, (as that seems to be all I can find at the moment.) It is not really required at the moment, as it is just a project that only happens at the beach, and you need a fishing rod, which is just a product of some other project. Where creation of new features is probably a higher priority at the moment.

I definitely want fishing in the game, probably several kinds - say, angling (using a fishing rod, for which you'd need wood and string, and the string would in turn require either wool or some plant material), spear-fishing (using a spear made of wood, optionally one with a metal tip), and catching fish with your bare hands (with an extreme skill weighting, and a relatively low chance of success, but still possible).

But you're right, new features are first priority. I just implemented repeatable projects; the next steps are probably:

• food, eating, hunger and starvation (and related to that, death)

• configurable random deviation in project output

• projects that block a certain machine

• optional tools, producing a performance increase in a project (not sure yet how I'll fit this in the data model)

• better control over the way materials are stored in projects

• travel speeds depending on weight carried

• a skill system

• violence, wounds, overall health, weapon usage

About the map: I might add something like "this road looks like it leads into an area of XXX" in the roads list; other than that, the map you're seeing is supposed to give you some clues about the surrounding locations. I experimented with a ray-traced 3D panorama view, but the results took way too much time to calculate while producing horribly ugly images, so I ditched the idea for now.

I'd still like the ability to map locations you've been too. I'm afraid to travel because I might not find my way back.

Heh, I just looked at the FAQ on the website, and I realized that all the question on it are from me.

That's what I was thinking. I dun wanna starve!

EDIT:

Feature request: a way to send messages to people that aren't in your current area.

Yes. I made a couple resources out of thin air and spread them over all locations. Since rot isn't implemented yet, these things currenly just lie around.

There will be notes, which will allow you to at least write down where you've been and how to get there. You will need paper to write on though.

Yes, there are dead ends. Somewhere down the pipeline, I plan to add sea travel, making such a coastal dead more attractive.

Yup, I'll make a few less resource-intensive ways of finding food - picking berries, fishing, hunting - basically, the hunter-gatherer thing. In real life, agriculture (even of the primitive kind) requires effort, and is only really viable if you settle, and I want to mimic these effects.

You won't starve, at least not now. Hunger and starvation aren't implemented yet. And when I do implement them, I'll first make sure finding food is not brutally hard.

I won't do this. At least not an easy way. Once there are notes, you are free to set up a postal service, leave notes for other characters, or transmit messages orally, but as I stated before, the tech level I'm aiming at is 19th century. So maybe, just maybe, there could be telephones, but if I make them, they will be horribly expensive, and far below modern telephony standard.
Restricting communication this way has interesting consequences for the game dynamics.

I might implement OOC messaging, but just like cantrII, I want to maintain a "capital rule" which says you're not allowed to exchange in-game information using OOC communication.

They were used in the busier parts of the world. I had characters in Akypor and Klojt, and also in the Pok Desert area, and the local authorities had radio equipment which was mainly used for law enforcement and trade. Radios in cantrII were quite expensive to make, requiring rare metals and a few steps to build; you'd need a quite organized bunch of people, and probably a few trading connections, to make one.

Very nice. Means the separation of characters and players works well.

Yea, my explorer is having this issue as well.

I had notice that the 2nd last journey took way too long.

But in good news, I have found my new home of "Rock Pass", It has taken me days of searching, but I have found somewhere to set up a settlement. Will there a way to put up a sign, or do I just have to tell everyone that arrives, where they are.

Edit: Thanks for the favicon as well.
