Hi iateurcrayonz, sorry to hear that. It could be a bug of course. Be sure you checked the proper communal gardens, there are two of them, Matilda is located in the communal gardens of Kilknoloch. First you need to ask Sophia about fishing (in Donensbourgh town). Then find Matilda (in communal gardens of Kilknoloch), pick up the money and buy an axe. Peasants are working during time day and they are sleeping during nights (check at different times during the day, not very early in the morning, not too late in the evening).
Because it's just the first thing to do in game after found your home, you could just try to restart the game, it will take just a few minutes to reach same point if you do that. I hope you will not have the same problem if you restart the game.
Good luck and thank you for trying my game.

Hi Jetcutter, I don't have yet a new playable version but keep working on it. Almost reworked the whole game, it includes a ton of improvements so we should consider it good news.

Sorry to hear that. Be sure you have latest drivers installed for your GPU. Review also executable permissions if you are using linux version. I cannot help more without any other information than "shut down my PC".

Hi Mark, definitely this game is under development. I work on it every single day, Almost everything has been improved/modified since this alpha with all the feedback that I have taken from all of you. Unfortunately I don't have a new playable version yet, but eventually I will have. I keep doing streams from time to time showing the progress and I have a channel in my discord connected to the git repository where people can see all the commits to the project.

Thank you for your interest in the project and I hope this outdated alpha gives you a rough idea on what this game will be.

Hi cromagnon86 ! Happy you tried my game. In the game you are a farmer, and of course you are progressing on your skills but you are not changing to be a baron or any other profession. Also, you don't have family like husband/wife (you can play as man or woman) or children. It's a lifesim game but it has a story that you complete making quests. For sure you will meet people in game, how knows if you meet the king ....

Hi zeeo1, thank you for trying my game and to publish a gameplay video, it gaves me very valuable information on how people play the game.

Hi cuewit,

Thank you so much for your kind words. I don't have a new playable version yet but I have been working on the game every single day. I have improved almost everything and added many new things but they not all connected yet, so it's not playable. I'm aware that last version is really old and some people can think that, and makes sense, I abandoned the project. It's not, I keep working on it. I have added new systems like skills, buffs or complex rpg progression; new lightning, improved grass, much better textures and models, ... Same gameplay, same lore, but everything improved. It's not an iteration over the current version but a replacement of many parts. I share progress in my discord channel and I should start streaming again. I also have some past streams that I didn't publish yet on youtube.

Feel free to contact me via discord or email if you have questions about the game or just want to see the current progress. I will be glad to show you how things have changed. Anyone reading this thread, feel free to join the conversation.

Cheers

Hi Azier, thank you for trying my game. You are right, I was trying to improve performance as much as I can, but render distances were too close, very noticeable on grass. I have modified render distances already and improved many other things that were poorly implemented in the alpha. Glad you liked!

Hey FantasmalStudios, thanks for try my game. I don't get what you mean with the lack of death. The game is not a survival, but you can die of course, just don't eat and you will die, when the health is zero you will die. I have designed the game to play the whole game without death, I mean it's an easy game, it's a relaxed game, but you must find food to survive. The game is not well balanced yet, I will add more items like poison, bee attacks and others (related to health) and taxes (related to money) to make the game more difficult but it will always be easy, as I said, it's not a survival game. I avoided drinking to not make too tedious finding water, the game is an rpg and you will progress in your skills, just trying to find water or food will disturb in your core loop.
Still long way until publish the final game but I keep working in the game every day.
Thank you again for try my game and for your feedback.

Hi Norvell84, thank you for staying still around. I have almost improved everything. Still not able to publish a new version, a ton of pending work. Unfortunately I cannot do streams now but I keep sharing the progress in the discord channel. I hope I start soon publishing progress more actively, lately I lack of time.

Hello Merii,mao, thank you for trying my game. Collecting stones and wood is not a quest, it's just a way to gather resources so you can sell them later and obtain some coins. You don't need any tool for that, it's just the first way to earn some money and you can do it at any time. As some villagers commented, like Robert Joplin (first villager you meet in game), just walk around on forests or green areas to find them on the floor. There is a side quest about collecting stones, wood and water requested by Agnes Forrester. Ask her also where to find stones or wood.

Good luck!

Hello Sunjean, glad you like it. I keep working on the game every single day, but I have changed the global lightning and the game is broken visually so I cannot publish any new version until I finish retexturing the whole game. I'm trying to improve the overall quality of the game and I'm afraid that I will not be able to publish any new update soon.

The current alpha is just a testing version and I think was long enough to understand more or less how the final gameplay will be, the final game will be much longer. Still a ton to improve, I'm aware of it.

Thank you for play my game. Cheers.

Hi Tenchfroast, glad you like it the game. Of course, there is a lot to improve but I'm working on it. Thank you for your feedback. About the stamina it's just restored when you stop running, I think it's restored pretty fast, but not over your overall tiredness, so to have full stamina bar you must sleep or rest on benches. When you have full tiredness bar you will have full stamina bar. If you have any other question, just let me know. Cheers.

Hello norvell84, thank you for trying my game and thank you for your kind words. I'm working on much more realistic grass, new areas and redoing all the plants and flowers as 3D models and not just planes as they are right now. Sorry to hear you had issues with saved games. Send me the saved game and I will try to find what the problem is. Contact me via email, discord, twitch or any other way of contact that you can find in the web of the game.

Thank you Jetcutter! Happy to see you still around.

I hope it's helping people to not give up :)

Thank you! Just found an issue that was blocking some people so I needed to make a new build just fixing this, I didn't have time to add nothing interesting on this build (except document guide) but more things are on the way for the next build. Thank you for your support.

If you stuck at any point in the game, I have created a document guide  with all the info on how to complete this. Please read the doc before post in the forum.

Hi ScotsRon, thanks to your report,  I have found that sometimes, unfortunately,  due to level layers order, the door is not open. I have fixed it already and I will try to push a new build today. I'm really sorry for all the inconveniences.

I don't have any buy from the user "ScotsRon", maybe did you buy it not being logged? You should have received an email from my donensbourgh email account. Write me back with the same email you bought the game, just to confirm it, otherwise I'm afraid I didn't receive any money from you.

About Matilda, just ask her about fishing and the door will be automatically open, just go to the manor area and the door should be open (if it's morning). In case it's not happening, just restart the game, maybe something is not working as expected....

Hi ScotRon, thank you for try the game. I'm afraid you didn't buy anything, just downloaded the game for free, which is perfectly fine. You need to talk with Matilda, the same as the axe quest, and ask about what you need for fishing. Then, as she said, Beatrice is working only during the mornings, so you need to go to the Cavendish area during mornings, otherwise the door is closed, you cannot open yourself. The different names are because one is the manor area, and the surname of the manor of the town is Cavendish. On the other hand, Beatrice Stewards is just working in the manor area for the manor family, so nothing related about surnames :)

Good luck!

Sorry to hear that, just close the game and start a new one.

Hi PhoenixBlade666, thank you for trying my game. You are missing some sequence dialogs, I mean, you need first talk with some people to know about things, just walk random in the map is not helping, you cannot ask to someone for something that you don't know yet. Probably you are doing a second round of the game. Some hints:

- To ask Richard for the seeds, you need to talk first with Thomas Miller.

- To open the manor area needs to talk with Matilda, also, keep in mind that, as noted on encyclopaedia and Matilda said, the manor area is only open during mornings. Organise your time to be there during mornings.

- For the bucket you need to talk with Cecily, follow some sequence dialogs until someone tells you to talk with Cecily.

Let me know if the hints helps you to progress in the game. Cheers.

P.S. Could be, for some unknown reason, that the game is not working properly, try to save the game, restart the game and load again the saved file.

Hi asmageddon, thak you for try my game. And thank you also for your feedback. You probably didn't read any of the dialogs, didn't even check the encyclopaedia and didn't even try to complete a single quest. It's ok, not everyone likes this game or even this kind of games. The current alpha, not a finished game, has 15 quests and around 3-4h of gameplay. If you are looking for a farming simulator or another lol clone in medieval style, you probably missed the description of the game.

But as I said, thank you for your feedback, I will try to improve the game to make more interesting going to another parts of the map and also making clear what is needed to do even for people that refuses to read a single line in the game.

Have a nice day, cheers.

I like to watch the whole gameplays, it helps me a lot to understand how people play it and what they expect at the time. More than welcome in discord, I try to share as much as I can of the development. Cheers!

Thank you for the kind words, enjoyed your short gameplay, still a ton of things to discover for you in the game. The current state of the game is far from perfect so let me know if you have any issue or need any hint. Thank you very much for your support.
