Re: Cath the lost
As she packs up the meat and skin and heads south along the shoreline, she spies a lynx out on the ice nearby. Perhaps it wounded the doe and scared her out onto the ice? She decides that the lynx deserves a cut of the meat as a reward for its help. She can afford to be generous. She drops a cut of reindeer meat and slowly backs away, keeping the lynx in sight. As she watches from a safe distance, the lynx approaches the cut carefully, circles, and then devours it before running off. She feels at peace with the spirits.

Tuning the spirits among interviews and heatwaves
Heatwave has struck Finland, and has basically lasted for almost the whole may. While the light and warm summer days has effectively turned my focus to outdoors activities, it's been a bit exhausting as well. Only the nighttime has been somewhat tolerable for coding and of my nightly works the most worthy of mentioning are tweakings of how the spirits get angered or pleased depending on character's actions. There's room for tweaking there, and I've followed the related fair discussions on suggestions section. Most important thing probably is to reason how much different kind of animal kills affect to spirits mood change, but as the system is quite complicated I've also made some groundwork for spirits to actually tell the player why they might be so mad sometimes. Then, an interesting opportunity to give a deep interview for Chinese gaming media came upon me. The article is now published and you can read it here: http://www.chuapp.com/article/285323.html It's in Chinese, so some of you gotta rely on computer translation, but images in the article alone are worth of checking out. Coming up with this took a good slice of my time this month, but I'm happy with it. The approach was fresh, and the questions were interesting and unique. I wish I could have kept up more frequent update post pace this month, but apparently I failed. One things you should know though is that my plans are to wrap things up as soon as possible for a new release - to offer some essentials additions, and some bugfixes for your summer days. It's pleasantly cold now so it's time to head to sauna. What else : May 30, 2018, 09:40:28 PM |

Off to turku Tomorrow then hopefully tampere on Wednesday. Anyway, thanks for tips! June 02, 2018, 02:33:35 PM |

Re: 3.50 Aggressive Livestock
Not a bug at all. Livestock can get aggressive too, and the odds are even higher if the person is unfamiliar to animals.

Balanced that spirit, fixed them sacrifices
Two important things to help us get along better with the spirits in the upcoming patch: - balanced: forest spirit's attitude in regards to hunted animals - size and significance matters When an animal is felled the forest spirit's mood change and need for compensation by sacrifices now depends on the size and significance of the animal. Previously almost all the killed animals were valued equally by the spirits which resulted in small game hunters often receiving unreasonable disgrace. Now it is far more tolerable to hunt smaller game and get along with only casual sacrifices every now and then. - fixed: only one sacrifice allowed per day If any kind of sacrifice to any spirit was performed even the different kind of sacrifices during the same day were considered excess. This was not intentional, and is now fixed back to normal: You can perform multiple sacrifices on daily basis as long as they are targeted at different spirits, ie. forest or water spirit, or if the act of sacrificing is a part of unique spell. These are future additions not yet functional in current version 3.50 (stable). June 07, 2018, 01:59:14 PM |

Re: Balanced that spirit, fixed them sacrifices
I'm curious, depending on "size and significance" of the animal, would the appropriate sacrifice ever exceed one cut? According to folklore it seems that for the finnish spirits it is the gesture that matters the most - not the actual value of the offerings. Exception to this rule are sacrificial specific spells where a specific thing is needed for a specific result. Concept of greater sacrifice for a greater service/result is a bit alien for us. So we continue to emphasize on the gesture rather than the required amount. And when it comes to sacrifices with spoiled food items, that's going to be fixed. June 12, 2018, 12:33:14 PM |

Re: Village invertory system taking your food
Well, everything dropped in the village is prone to get handled by the villagers as they please. Player character's items in the village are a wild territory as there are no restrictions or specific rules applied to them. Many wondrous things can happen. I don't know if this actually calls for any action. June 12, 2018, 12:53:29 PM |

Version 3.51 released on Steam and for Lifetime Members
Version 3.51 is now released on Steam and for Lifetime Members. Here comes a minor but significant new patch before I'll start settling for summer holidays. The additions in this version 3.51 mostly consist of balances, fixes and additions related to interacting with both the spirits and NPCs. Many small game hunters should be happy to know that for example the unreasonably harsh forest spirit mood changes are now toned down. Find the full changelog below, here's UnReal World Steam page, and the version is also available for lifetimer members at the designated forums section. I wish you all great adventures in both real and unreal worlds - and nice and cosy summertime, if that happens to be your local season. Cheers! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 3.51 (stable) changelog ** Saved characters from version 3.40-> are compatible with this version. ** - added: map of known areas (F6) remembering the toggleable settings to show or not to show cultural areas and map markers This was once featured, but got broken somewhere along the way. The settings are remembered after exiting F6 map view and persist until toggled otherwise. The display for both cultural areas and map markers is on by default when the game is first started. - added: ask NPCs to find quest related persons in villages You can now ask villagers if certain quest related persons are around. This is done by automatically appearing chat options within the common greet dialog. For example: "Is Sampsa around?" or "Where can I find Tornia?" All the quest related persons, including the original quest giver, are covered within these chat options if you are aware of them. There are some exceptions though; NPCs who are involved in quests themselves can't be asked for others whereabouts, but there are always enough common villagers around to assist you. When it comes to finding quest related persons in other villages the chat options become available only when you are in the right village where the person can be actually found. This can be considered slightly gamey in our standards, but it is more helpful that way. - adjusted: no more multiple villagers with same names Possiblity of two NPCs having the same name within a single village has been removed. In seriously crowded clustered villages it is theoretically possible that villagers might run out of unique names, but real chances for that to happen are practically non-existent. MIGRATION NOTICE: Within villages created in the previous version two persons with same names may still exists. - added: dozens of new northern names Due to aforementioned adjustment it was necessary to add lots and lots of new names for northern men and women. - improved: NPC name randomization routines NPC culture has more distinguishable influence to their given names. There's noticeable variation between the eastern and western names, but especially the current wider range of northern names now appear unique from rest of the world. - added: light a torch with another torch If you are already carrying a lit torch a new torch can be lit of it. This is done in normal fashion by [a]pplying the torch to be lit. - balanced: forest spirit's attitude in regards to hunted animals - size and significance matters When an animal is felled the forest spirit's mood change and need for compensation by sacrifices now depends on the size and significance of the animal. Previously almost all the killed animals were valued equally by the spirits which resulted in small game hunters often receiving unreasonable disgrace. Now it is far more tolerable to hunt smaller game and get along with only casual sacrifices every now and then. - fixed: only one sacrifice allowed per day If any kind of sacrifice to any spirit was performed even the different kind of sacrifices during the same day were considered excess. This was not intentional, and is now fixed back to normal: You can perform multiple sacrifices on daily basis as long as they are targeted at different spirits, ie. forest or water spirit, or if the act of sacrificing is a part of unique spell. - fixed: spoiled food items were seemingly accepted as sacrifices Now it is foolish to try that sort of sacrifices. - fixed: former companions never agreed to be hired again Despite of their "maybe in the future" responses former companions did never reach proper status to be hired again. This is fixed now and companions can be rehired after a varying NPC dependant timespan from few months to full year. MIGRATION NOTICE: Rehiring possibility timespan may appear glitchy as companionship date information was broken in the previous version. For most succesfull rehiring of former companions try it at villages that were visited long time ago. - fixed: skinning young animals mistakenly gave adult animal size skins Now skins obtained from young animals are more or less smaller depending on the cub/calf actual age and size. - fixed: village items getting easily corrupt upon crash Crash security improvements added in version 3.50 are hereby improved/fixed in regards to certain crash vulnerable village items. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 17, 2018, 05:18:47 PM |

Re: What's Going On In Your Unreal World?
Was going home from nearby village. Just bought 2 big bulls.  Taking a nap in the middle of the trip. Wake up to strange sound. Saw a pack of wolf trying to eat my big bulls. Went into berserk mode. Bring out the masterwork longbow and superior broadhead arrow. Keep shooting at all wolf. Kill the entire wolf pack. Even enough to get the message "The forest seem hostile." In the end, 1 big bull and 8 wolf was KIA.
