Bay 12 Games Forum

If the building was found high in the alps, it could be that it fell away from the rest of the city any time between 1902 and 1980; but most likely during the period of massive fighting in 1912 (game time).  Given what I understand about the city of Columbia, each building has its own suspension system, and if it broke away it wouldn't have nessissarily had fallen straight down, but glided.  The cold up high in the Alps would have acted wonders in perserving the wreckage.  No rift needed. Lol.

But it looks like it'll be one of the things we figure out in the game. 

I'd so go for it, Imofexios. On its own, Towns is a brilliant indie project, a city-builder with a scope and scale that rivels the upcoming Sim City 5 if for no other reasons than you can actually control what's going on with the villagers.

Throw in the 'Majesty'-like random Heroes that you can only influence instead of controlling as they go off and do their own thing, and you have a game that I've spent close to 90+ hours with already.  If nothing eles, its worth the value of it.

Being in developement still, Towns also gets new features, balancing changes, and an active community to keep things interesting.  The rest is up to you, Imofexios.

The fact that this is a realitively short time between letting us know you're alive and well and showing proof that you'll working on it, I think people will learn a little bit more patience from the entire experience, Lord Dullard. Haha.

On an unrelated note, I'd like to know how you came up with your name, Lord Dullard. Rather its a nickname or a favorite persona.

I've been wanting to play Unreal World for a while now; but haven't had the money to buy a key to the game.  IT is good to see that there is such longevity in it, though.

Unless we have the ability to replace population workers with say, steam-driven robotics or cult-controlled golemns? Mwhahahaha.

Having a scripted scenario at the start isn't nessissarily a bad thing, especially if its part of the tutorial and story.  Conlan could always be considered a 'hero' character during that time; and I don't think anyone would have minded.

The render is starting to look very natural, Gaslamp-Daniel.  I just have a problem with the water edges where it meets the terrain, though.  Something about it messes with my eyes; as if there's a clashing of rendered screens trying to overlap one another.  It may just be me, though.

On another note, keep up the good work!

I grabbed System Shock 2 today and plan to try it out for the first time tomorrow.
