There are only indirect facts, for example when they were stacking items in the inventory, they reworked stacks separately for each item by 5–10 per patch.This means that meat, clay, threads, seeds — these are independent entities in different parts of the code, each with its own script working independently.It's a critically high level of madness which allows one to assume any wild guesses about server architecture.Nightdawg wrote:

Re: Game Development: Dormant Doe
Jorb and Loftar have needed a community manager for about a decade because they lack the energy to communicate themselves. The problem is, they would have to loop in a 3rd person to their duo, and they would have to communicate with that person. And even that is too much for themvatas wrote:Jorb and Loftar definitely dropped the ball when it comes to communication. Even if they have a legitimate reasons to be busy IRL, that they don't want to specify for privacy reasons, they've kept the people completely in the dark. .

Re: Game Development: Dormant Doe
idk the bigger issue is if they had a community manager, they would have no idea and not much what to communicate through the community manager anyway. Like what news a community manager could say compared to devs themselves when there's little development, pretty much on a hobby level development happening. Community manager would be more of a burden for them imojordancoles wrote:Jorb and Loftar have needed a community manager for about a decade because they lack the energy to communicate themselves.

Re: Game Development: Dormant Doe
If they were to add a community manager it would have to be at the start of a new world when there is actually a population to engage with, and the devs would likely have to give some sort of developer tools to the person to host events in Valhalla, or whatever, to keep people's interest/promote the gamedafels wrote:idk the bigger issue is if they had a community manager, they would have no idea and not much what to communicate through the community manager anyway.

But yeah, at this point right now a CM would have nothing to work with
