Title: Salem Post by: Xanthippe on May 17, 2011, 08:32:19 AM This sounds intriguing. It's not out yet, supposed to come out later this year, by Seatribe (Haven & Hearth, which I've not tried).
Features mutable world, deformable terrain, crafting (including buildings, towns and so on), pvp, permadeath Alpha footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDySrWMY2Ik Interview with developer Bjorn Johannessen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ftb-cj2WIs We all know the potential pitfalls, but nevertheless this is one to keep an eye on.

Title: Re: Salem Post by: Xanthippe on May 19, 2011, 08:55:52 AM Thank you. I thought I'd seen mention of this game before here but I couldn't find it.
I tried playing Haven & Hearth. I screwed up at the beginning (I don't like to read instructions) and then spent some time trying to kill my character so I could start over. Ants debilitated me but didn't quite kill me, although they did eat my shoes. My stats are worse than they were now, I've built what I know how to, and am wandering around hoping an animal eats me.

This sounds awesome. :grin: Title: Re: Salem Post by: Xanthippe on May 20, 2011, 06:57:41 AM I even created a tombstone for myself and logged out, thinking I'd die to animals in the night. No such luck.
Still searching for a way to kill myself. Who knew it'd be so tough in a permadeath world. |
