I have just been blocked from liking your post Steve, having apparently liked too many today.

Instead of bothering to wait 4 hours and coming back here, I’ll just leave this instead :thumbsup:

Wait… what?!! Where did you get cranberry dressing?

From that shady drug dealer down the street.

actually, from my sister-in-law… she makes the best dressing…

then again, she has been staying out later these past few nights… i wonder…

Wow, I leave for one day and the thread got that sidetracked?!? Geez, even my occasional political rants don’t have that effect.

Alright, to continue on that topic, I know for a fact that coming back to High School will treat you the best. Especially for your sister-in-law, Steve, she would do REAL well nowadays, considering her… lateness… these past few nights.

I for one would like to hear more about @SteveAdamo’s shady drug dealing sister-in-law who peddles cranberry sauce.

Failing that, I’m quite happy with the features they have announced so far and look forward to seeing some of the proposed mods start to take shape.

Since the Alpha is coming out in December. It might be a good idea to set up your humble bundle account right now or look into it. The humble bundle does not give out Steam keys any more. You have to link you Steam account to your humble bundle account. But they do allow you to download your games without using Steam.

thanks for the heads up @Skull24!

Ok, this wasn’t mentioned on the list of things that were to be expected… except it felt like a no brainer: Will we have some form of UI in the Alpha 1? ~ whether or not it’s final, will there be a UI in the version?

I’m guessing yes. But overtime they will make changes and updates to remove or add certain functions.

Here’s are some good questions.

  1. Will we be allowed to record and post footage of the Alpha on
    YouTube
    ?
  2. Will we be allowed to stream the game on streaming sties
    like Twitch.tv?

I like most of the people here on the forums assume that we can. But I always find it best to ask permission before hand.

There is ui in the test so I see no reason why there wouldn’t be, plus the presence of crafting kind of requires it.

@Skull24, I’m pretty sure it was actually stated somewhere that you can, you’d probably need someone who has kept better track than me though to find the quote as it’s probably buried somewhere.

I also have a solution for the beta/preview/alpha issue, only release one major alpha, the next release will be the beta, then the gamma version, then delta and so on. That gives 24 versions over the 9 months so about a version every week and a half or so, plus we get to change things up and the full release will be Stonehearth: Omega Edition.

yes, and yes… @sdee has stated this is in fact encouraged… :+1:

@Xavion hat naming idea is fantastic! I could definitely get behind that, rather than Alpha 1.7 or whatever :stuck_out_tongue:

Also @Skull24 believe they said that they were both permitted. However, alike Xavion, I can’t find the quote.

I am pretty confident UI will be included in the release. Definitely to the extent of being able to assign tasks and be able to craft, as these have been promised.

Edit: Okay, so apparently Steve beat me to post but it didn’t update the topic for me until I’d posted. So yes, we can, I was pretty confident it had been Steph who’d said yes. So there you go :stuck_out_tongue:
