You don't need to cut tree to make rope.
Rope recipe can be found on grey categorize (Craftables)
If you have plant fiber nearby or in inventory you will be able to craft rope.

I got a little question. I'm intrested in the game, so is my brother. We both think about buying the game but we wonder if there's a chance of playing togehter. Just like multiplayer. I did read the sentence where you mentioned that the multiplayer function isn't availible yet, but is able to play when the game is "finished" Did I get that right? Not too sure if I understood it in the right way, I'm not a native english speaker you know. ^^

Hey

I'm glad to hear that :) we have part of co-op network done..but as we were focusing on making stable gameplay we still didn't add anything from that part.

The game will have co-op soon and you will be able to play with you brother

Multiplayer will be something that will come later when we finish co-op and all the bugs related to that part.

So answer is
You are not able to play Co-op at this moment but you will be able to play it soon.
I would like to tell you the exact time when that will be implemented but I cant atm as its depends will people support as we don't have a professional budget and we must live from something.

Thanks

First of all thx for the quick answer! I'm looking forward to the game and will buy it in the next few days. I'm sure my brother and I can wait that amount of time, till Co-Op is playable. We'll try to help you guys as much as we can, by giving you feetback and stuff! :)

ok this is probably a silly question but to get a bamboo log that is 2km how do you do that? I seem to only get a 1km bamboo log.

[HyperionStudio]

Hey

Yes, you need to take down bamboo and then you determine what length you want.

you are able to cut into the block,1m, and 2m

also, this is used for all trees that need to be chopped down.

It's explained little better.

Q1) Why the game has a "casual" label? For me casual means a game which is meant to be played for a few hours, not very often. This is in contradiction with the "sharp brain" required to progress.

Q2) What will challenge the player? On your web page, you mentioned the game has aggressive animals. Does the game offer the possibility to configure how many aggressive animals the player encounters and how strong they are?

Q3) Animal AI. Can I continuously train the tamed animals? I would like to make an AND gate using the animal behavior :) Do the wild animals learn too? Animal AI being a stand alone section in your game, I expect them to be able to learn a pattern or two, sometime from each-other.

[HyperionStudio]

Q1) Where does game have a casual label?

Q2) We have a different kind of animals. From cricket ones to complex ones.
Crickets will basically just run away from you. Complex ones will attack you on sight if aggressive. Lions and such can come to you by smell so you need to take care of food and how do you conserve it. Challenging part will be finding all materials for crafting and advancing in technology tree. Animals are something that u should keep track of as they will slow u down in your work.

Currently, there is no way to selected stage how aggressive they are. We have the plan to make it in future depending on how things will go in further dev.

Q3) There is no way to train a tamed animal. Some of the complex animals will be able to learn some pattern..so you won't be able to use that so often.

That part isn't so advanced yet as we are focusing on creating the stable core of the game in terms of crafting and smelting systems. But that part I wanted to solve next month.

I won't reveal much atm. But keep track on our work.

Let me know if you have more question.



Thanks

OOOH I love the idea with food attracting animals, but it also freaks me out!!! ROFL I might suddenly have a lion wandering into camp to steal my dinner!!!!

On the steam store page. If you didn't set it and you want to remove it, you have to submit a request to steam to remove it. Some other unexpected labels might popup once that is removed.

That is enough for now :)
I will be happy if the game will be overwhelming positive. So, do a good job! :)
Implement enough challenges to the players, who land with their "sharp brains" on the island.
(I would never go to a place where I have no internet really...)

[HyperionStudio]

I've removed it..maybe I've added it by mistake..not sure exactly
Thanks for report

I hope that it will be :) I have a big plan just need some time to make it work
Everything is going great for now and will be clear soon.

There is a lot of people who cant survive without that :)
