Game Development: Prelude pt. II

[Sagrer]

A question about shields and catapults: shield defends _all_ things, including catapults too? If defenders will try to use catapult to destroy enemy's catapult\ram - will they attack their own shield in case when enemy's construction located on the claim?

i loved farming on rune factory and harvest moon but can never stand the farming in haven.. it's like the most boring chore i can think of

What was good about farming in those games that is lacking in Haven?

Cozy background music.

The server was up in rune factory and harvest moon

Slight derail, but am also curious to hear legit constructive feedback from the people that want changes let's deconstruct and theorycraft the crap out of farming.

Cute girls to gift your products with, fun harvesting animation and days when it rains being awesome because you don't need to water the plants.

Siege Engines are not protected by the Shield. Attackers may fire at defending catapults, and vice versa. Updated OP.

That must be it. Haven needs more cute girls.

things from harvest moon games that are not in haven (regardless of if good/bad):
-seasonal crops.
-weather to affect crops.
-watering.
-tool upgrades to span more tiles (1x1, 2x1, 3x1, 3x2, 3x3, etc).
-fertilizer to speed up growth and give more produce.
-different kinds of field types (ie rice paddy).
-little gnome slaves to work your fields for flour.

How much range will catapults have?

Hey jorb can you please change it so you can only have 1 character per account, so that if you want the 10/30% bonuses for your alts you at least need to verify/subscribe multiple accounts?

This is a great way for you to make more money from the super serial factions, and reduce alting as its effectively more expensive. while not effecting regular players at all.

Hell no. As explained earlier, this does nothing to stop alt abuse, while screwing over legit players. In every world I've played, I have had multiple (legit) characters. I don't want to have to kill my old character to be able to start a new one.

Never indicated you would have to. Feel like you and V didnt understand what I wrote or are simply against it because you don't want to spend 1 minute to register a 2nd account. Or is it that you don't feel like ought to pay twice?

The point is not to stop alt abuse, but to make more money specifically from people who take it too seriously.

Make the animals eat less food. That way I'll still work to improve my qualities, but with less mandatory farming if i'm just letting things tick over
