Ski archery in traditional, northern and asiatic fashion video
Today's clip (from my archery channel) is so UrWish that it needs to be here: Archery on skis in northern fashion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez1CUoz0tdQ Skiing archer can be quite effective, and Sami people even had ski-taff bows with rim and head attached to lower part of the bow so no separate ski staff was needed at all. The video also makes you think that the the game [w]ielding rules could be adjusted a bit.  March 06, 2018, 07:58:56 PM |

Re: Some clothes weigh too much
This is just my input as someone who owns several different garments that are similar to what one will find in UrW, and the following is a list of what I have IRL with the weight of each item in kilograms and pounds: Wool Cloak-7 lbs or 3,1 kilograms Wool Tunic-4 lbs or 1,8 kilograms Wool Trousers-3,5 lbs or 1,5 kilograms Wool Leggings (pair)-2,6 lbs or 1,1 kilograms Wool Kaftan (overcoat)-6 lbs or 2,7 kilograms Wool Hood (two layers)-1 lb or 0,5 kilogram Wool Hood (one layer)- 0,6 lb or 0,2 kilograms Wool Mittens (one layer wool, one layer linen)-0,3 lb or 0,1 kilogram My only garment that is entirely made of fur is a cloak made from the hide of an adult male whitetail deer; it covers my shoulders and torso completely, the length is just above my knees, and it weighs in at just over 12 lbs or 5,4 kilograms. I'm not sure if elk or reindeer hide is heavier or lighter than our regular deer hide so I don't know if that is really relevant to this. The wool garments in-game, however, seem to be quite accurate when compared to what I have IRL. Of course, comparing my garments to those of the Iron Age, even though I've done my best to follow traditional designs, methods, and materials, could be considered anachronistic and irrelevant.

3.50 stable version released on Steam and for Lifetime members
After quite a long period of balancing and wrestling with glitches in the preceeding beta versions we are now ready to tag version 3.50 stable and... Version 3.50 (stable) is now released on Steam and for Lifetime members. Here you can find UnReal World Steam page, and the version is also available for lifetimer members at the designated forums section. Standalone installer versions at the homepage will be put available some days later. Here are the fixes/additions since 3.50 beta 2: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Version: 3.50 (stable) changelog - added: treat bleeding wounds of your pets and companions It is now possible to try to stop bleeding of the wounds of your pets and companions. The attempt is started by using physician skill, or opening [F7] wounds screen, when facing a bleeding pet or companion. If bleeding wounds are found you'll be asked whether you wish to try to treat them. The actual wound to treat is then auto selected based on its severity. The actual game mechanics of applying physician skills to your pets and companions are the same as treating your own wounds. Herbs can be used in the process, the success or failure messages are the familiar ones, and so on. - added: crash security to overcome creature and item losses when travelling with companions and watercrafts There's now extra data save added upon each map load to provide crash security and to minimize certain creature and item loss potential. Previously it was quite often the case that the pets and companions you were travelling with would disappear upon a crash. The same sort of crash related disappearence might also happen to the items you were transporting with a watercraft - including the watercraft. This sort of losses should be history now. Crashes may naturally lose some progress in the game world, but all the creatures and items should stay intact and be available upon returning to post-crash UnReal World. Finally, let us remind that force quitting seems to be the most usual type of unexpected UnReal World termination and this addition should not in the least to be taken as an encouragement for safer force quitting. - balanced & fixed: weight of some clothes Some were found too heavy, and a few were found too light. The corrections go as follows (with old weight in parenthesis): * Woollen tunic - now weighs 4.6 lbs (was 5) * Nettle cloak - now weighs 2.6 lbs (was 6) * Woollen cloak - now weighs 5.3 lbs (was 6.5) * Fur cloak - now weighs 11.5 lbs (was 14) * Woollen overcoat - now weighs 6.3 lbs (was 5.5) * Fur overcoat - now weighs 13.5 lbs (was 15) * Leather leggings - now weighs 6.3 lbs (was 2.9) * Fur leggings - now weighs 7.4 lbs (was 3.5) - fixed [rare condition]: all too frequent map maintenance with some old characters - fixed [rare condition]: sages offering the old style teaching of new ritual for some migrated characters - fixed: triggered traps sometimes appearing as readied and erect - fixed [rare condition]: too fast melting of ice in the spring - fixed: animals tied in place with a rope remaining tied even if the rope was destroyed (eg. by a fire) - fixed [rare condition]: spiritworld related entries cluttering the data stack and causing misleading hoarding warnings - fixed: animal pens in the villages appearing too close to the western border The problem was that your dog might end up located in the village animal pen when entering the village from the west. - fixed: BUTCHER_CONFIRMATION setup option not checking whether the carcass actually could be skinned Now the confirmation, if enabled, is asked when applicable only if the carcass actually can be skinned. - fixed: wounded adventurer quest sometimes generating too lightly wounded adventurers This made the intended quest giver adventurers not speak about their hardships at all even though the villagers would hint about it. - fixed: milk from rams and bulls ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 25, 2018, 08:18:47 PM |

Re: After power outage bug
We managed to manually restore the missing animal. This all happened with 3.50 beta version so crash the latest (3.50 stable) crash security improvements weren't functional upon the incident. May 01, 2018, 07:43:17 PM |

Re: Inaccessible cave

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 |

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 |

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 |
