One hour one life
« on: April 13, 2018, 01:36:27 pm »

Just found this game recently, basically the premise is you are either born a baby to another player, or as a young woman in the wilderness(eve) and try to survive your lifetime(an hour). Once you die, you leave everything you've made to the next generation of players.

"1,071,740 lives lived for a total of 156,305 hours"... that means the average person lives 15% of their lifespan, or 9 minutes. Since one minute is equivalent to one year, 60 years is a full life, and childhood mortality seems to be thriving!

This seems like the kind of project that seems awesome at first, then you start playing, and realize that people are jerks.

Found out about this the other day on another forum, bought it today and... I love it. This is one game I am determined to learn to play properly.

I feel like it's definitely worth the price of admission from what I've seen so far. Anyone else playing it? I'm shocked that there hasn't been more interest from Bay12, it's pretty much the ultimate survival game.

Once I get better at the basics, I'll be sure to try starting a DF-themed dynasty to go down through the ages. :)

I really love it.  Thought-provoking and challenging. 

I just wish that the time passed a little more slowly (two hours one life?) ... if you're born into a well-established society life is already moving at a pretty frenetic pace.  And if you're born into the wilderness, it's just a mad sprint for survival with utterly no respite. 

Anyone else getting into this?  It's brilliant!
