Game Development: Ancestral Ropewalk

Seconded. Winter is somewhat useful for questing, exploring thingwalls etc., though it could use some more content. But spring is simply painful.

I'd like to believe you, but the user-number graphs speak rather strongly for the fact that that's not the majority opinion of winters.

The population graph shows the game dies before winter even starts. Just saying

Nah, the drop-off at the start of winter tends to be rather sharp.

Farmer bots going offline during winter? Perhaps make a poll so actual players can vote, instead of looking at graphs that don't show actual player numbers (and if you argue that you can distinguish bots from players, why aren't bots gone?)

Instead of removing seasons, why not just add season based content that makes playing in winter worth while? Shit like season based animals or ENTS. Population drops because there's nothing to do in winter.

Are you actually pretending people don't globally dislike seasons after the first 2-3 times they experience winter/spring?
lol

One idea is a simpler two season dichotomy. Warm season and cool season. That way you can keep the nice things about seasons but remove the oppressive elements.

No bird?
No mushroom?
Actually some good additions to ancestry?
CONSIDERING CHANGES IN REGARDS OF SEASONS?

Holy shit

Any chance you could also consider adding a toggle to teleport back if you get knocked out and are disconnected from the game while you're adding good updates? That would be really dope

Course not, not a fan of them myself, but straight up removing them doesn't appeal to me either.
