One Hour One Life Forums

Personally, I really love seeing people roleplay in my villages. It's fun and it adds to the immersion. If people are getting cursed while roleplaying, it might be their character choices.

For example...

Good Roleplay Idea:

An aging man in his late forties. He's short-tempered and often mean to the children in his settlement. You see, he saw his kid sister die to a snake bite when he was just a teenager. He begged for help while the poison slowly took her life, but no one came to her aid with antivenom. Since then, he's vowed to keep kiddos at a distance. Life is hard and children are the most vulnerable.  He never wants to feel that horrible grief again...

Bad Roleplay Idea:

A 14-year-old edgelord whose favorite word is "p*ssy".

Some things at the top of my wishlist include...

Pork Pies/Goose Pot Pies

I've noticed that towns aren't bothering to domesticate boar and geese lately. Allowing pork and geese to be used in pies might help incentivize more diversity animal husbandry.

Seed Pouches

Seed clutter is everywhere and it makes me sad. I was thinking that water pouches could be converted into seed pouches (with a bit of thread or rope) and used to hold somewhere around 10 seeds of the same variety.

Buff to the Curse System

I actually think the curse system is a very creative way to manage griefers. Because the black speech threshold is so high, however, it doesn't seem very effective at the moment.

True, but this style of griefing has become extremely popular as of late.

If this game turns into "Jason Rohrer's Seed Burning Simulator 2018", I think it's fair to say that players will mosey on over to greener pastures, lol.

Here he is.

I COMPLETELY forgot you could burn milkweed seeds.

I'm into it. Let's cook.

I have also recently experienced this style of griefing in another small town. 

Dear OHOL Gods,

Please nerf the mighty milkweed seed, for the fruiting milkweed are too fruitful.

Amen.

I completely agree with the comments in this thread. It's certainly worth $20.

If you're a fan of the survival-style genre, you'll definitely enjoy this game. That said, OHOL is very unique, so research and practice are a must. You'll need to do your homework, read the forums for guides, hone your skills, and ask questions to master how to play.

Yes, there are occasional bugs, but as other players have stated, Jason works hard to resolve them as quickly as possible. I've been playing for a few months now, and I've really enjoyed watching this game develop.

EDIT:

Also! I think Jason saw/read Ready Player One this past Spring, so he ends all his update emails with, "Thanks. Thanks for playing my game".

It's just so adorbs I can't even stand it.

I saw this happen. Yes, OP was an elder at the time.

I was asking him about a wheat farm and a kid came up and replaced his gold crown with her rabbit fur hat. After she swapped her sheepskin for his jacket, he chased after her and died. I was able to grab his backpack (which contained two knives) from his grave.

That town was buck wild.

I can understand why new players might be compelled to build a bow and become a village hunter. In many survival-style games, hunted animals can be looted for meat, and that meat can be easily cooked and consumed as food.

In OHOL, however, many animals aren't edible. Those that are edible require at least some tech and knowledge to cook and consume. Even a simple bunny dinner is tricky! I've watched so many hungry newbies burn their bunny fillets over open fires. Poor guys.

What new players may not understand too is the PTSD suffered by veteran players, lol. I've been murdered dozens of times for being a female of child-bearing age, for being the "wrong" color, or just for fun. The longer you play, they warier you become of out-of-place behavior and weapons.

Ahh, okay. You "evolved" an oven. Mystery solved.

To reiterate, I'd like to see more villages with kitchen stations set up far away from the smithy. It would also be cool to see more dedicated pottery kilns away from the smithy too.

There never seem to be enough bowls and, every time I've spent a life as a smithy, my crucible bowls have been nabbed for farming or pie making, lol. Potter is a profession that is sometimes dearly needed in young villages but scarcely seen. It's a good thing to think about when little babies ask their mom "what - do?"

In our little village, I recall seeing two deep wells and a large artic biome to the east. No, I don't remember a lot of desert tiles or ponds. I'm sure it was founded for it's proximity to the green space to the south.
