Game Development: Nothing Major

[Potjeh]

Silly me, complaining before checking my own village. Thanks, and good job on that bit of foresight.

[Spiff]

Oh my. We just started getting over the prejudice towards goons, and now 4chan? Delamore, you better hold them in check.

Goons aren't bros and bros aren't goons. Delamore isn't their leader and can't really "hold them in check" any more than you can.

The new crops are starting to sprout.

One looks like it's either onions or leeks and the other looks like...mushrooms?

I can confirm that palisades still can't be built against one of the sides of the ridge. My wall still leaks =[

[Jackard]

palisades still have gap

The problem wasn't there matching against ridges, however; the problem was that they couldn't be built alongside the other kinds of walls (fences or brick-walls). None of them can be built firmly against ridges in all cases, but that is because the ridges aren't perfectly tiled. It is not obvious whether that is something we intend to fix. It could be argued that we should, but there are, likewise, arguments against.

I was planning to do something like that, but as you know, the world is -- though not yet infinite -- not entirely small. I'd have to add quite a lot for anyone to have any reasonable chance to find any. To avoid complete grief-death of the new plants, though, I did add some in Bottleneck and in Laketown. (Other villages may thing it a bit unfair, but Bottleneck and Laketown are simple the only two villages whose coordinates I know off-hand)

Can we have some too, pretty please, if you end up restarting the server for something or other? :3

Edit: Oh, and we've gotten ~200 new registrants tonight. Welcome 4chan.

Are you already disliking them even though they have done nothing? Sounds like a great plan for game growth.

I'm not disliking anyone individually. The new player I met this morning was quite nice, and is likely to be invited to join our village. But - until the map reset the world is already far too crowded, and we're having problems with resource shortages. 200 players at once - many of them making the usual newbie mistakes - and then wanting to build houses, lay out claims, etc. - we're going to be awfully short on trees and even animals, and finding a live cow (for butter) is going to be amazingly difficult, just as soon as we have 200 people wanting to eat something other than fish, and just barely able to kill cows. (I somehow fear that many won't be farming - too difficult to keep your fields functional in a crowded environment, at least until yeomanry, as others will harvest one's crops, and may or may not replant them.)

Hopefully I'm being pessimistic, and we'll have to wait and see - but I'm blessing my palisade every morning, as allowing me to be sure of basics like wheat, never mind valuables.

Leeks? Onions? Maybe potatoes? They certainly aren't harvestable yet.
And my lunch breaks almost over.

Someone in bottleneck save me a couple seeds of each if they grow up in the next few hours. I'll pay in cast or steel.
