Ohh i c, I was under the impression that it was going to be yesterday/today because of the post Tom made:
“We are planning a final push to the unstable branch now, and if the thing doesn’t completely blow up we will make it available to all Kickstarter backers and pre-order customers. This process may take us day or two. We appreciate your patience. ;)”
I was under the impression that meant that the unstable branch would be updated in a day or two, and then only after the unstable branch was made stable enough to call it Alpha 5, then $15 backers would get their copies.
I believe, though I haven’t checked yet, the unstable branch did get updated today, which would mean they’re still on schedule. I wouldn’t start checking the Humble Bundle page like crazy until next week, if I were you.
What is grinding and what is not? Grinding the resources to actually build the item. Grinding the food to keep your villagers fed over and over. Grinding grinding trees, grinding roads, grinding sleep…
I mean, sleep is actually boring, because they do nothing. But it puts life into that little thing.
Same goes for exp. It adds some sense of progress and reward into the game.
I think it would be good if you had your carpenter unlock the comfy bed instead of starting with it, because then there would be more of a purpose for the mean bed.
Upgrading the Mean Bed to the Comfy Bed would also work. As it is I always just ignore my hearthlings’ pleas until they all have comfy beds - I just never make the mean ones .
