Is it sad that what excites me most with these is warehouses....lol

You horder

Looking forward to the 'boss' legends and the global material exchange view. Are the legends going to have a different AI, or actually are you planning for any of the creatures to have a different set of AI, or is 'difficulty' only going to scale through numbers?

@Esoba said in Stone / wood for upkeep:

I could be wrong or behind on info, but I think there will also be decay with buildings that will naturally require this.

What about being able to donate stone to the city and get a slower decay timer as a result? That would kind of be a mixture between both demands and it would even be semi realistic. Since it's only optional, it's not even an additional burden for anybody either.

doesn't want to post on controversial thread today

Scaling can be a real pain

Take your time, finding and fixing issues is the whole reason behind tests after all! As long as it doesn't happen (too often) after the game has been launched, everything should be fine

That said, have you considered setting up a watchdog for the login/game server in order to test that for when you'd launch the game?

@grofire said in Fall Alpha Dev Update #3:

(...) i think there is way to much importance to cities/villages.

Oh? Maybe I am missing something, but what exactly makes them important to every day gameplay? I couldn't tell you a single occasion where (unless for testing) I would have visited a village before. (It's an honest question and not meant to be offensive)

@grofire said in Fall Alpha Dev Update #3:

@Ostaff what if i just want to explore and i have no end point ?

You would explore one the many cities on your way and change there, restock, pick up some rumors,...
It's still exploring without an endpoint, you just have to set different way-points now, which does help to raise the importance of cities/villages though, so I'd see that as a positive.
I fully expect a lot of negativity though, people usually cling to things when they were easy and get only ever so slightly moire difficult later on

(And a big thank you to @Specter for the constant dedication and work)

@Scortch said in City map and names, choices, etc.:

(...) Like maybe a name above each city and being able to zoom out? (...)

You could actually do that yourself if you're familiar with AJAX, HTML and CSS. Then again, I'm not sure how @Prometheus would react to people polling the server via a script. Do you have any information on their stance towards that @Specter?

As for the developers putting effort into the map, I thought it was supposed to be sort of a 'placeholder' for testing purpose only? Is that web interface meant to make it into the final game? Is there even any benefit to having such a map in the final game? A big part of Fractured is supposed to be exploration, isn't it, so changing city ownership/government type/resource nodes and the like would be an incentive to explore the region again and to exchange information.

What an interesting Colyseus

Welcome to Fractured!
I hope you're going to enjoy the game and your time here and especially have fun on the 4th!
