Crafting/ Items/ Customisation

---

• Will you be able to make minor changes to character to differentiate them? Perhaps like changing their hair colour?

“the plan is to make everyone look unique through randomization of hair styles, colors, etc.”

• [urlhttps://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=344330292353662&id=331291483657543&comment_id=1667127&offset=0&total_comments=3]On customization.[/url]

“you will definitely be able to customize your units’ equipment, utility gear that they will carry around (like potions) …We really want it to feel like “your” army.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/410049905] Can we paint our own flags or emblems and place them buildings? [/url] - Livestream - 3:01:00 [color=#aa00ff][size=18] New [/size][/color]

“That’s a great idea which we want to support, but it’s a pebble… it’s the kinda thing where if we don’t have it you’d miss it, but you’re not going to be really pissed off, and then when it comes in you get happy. So eventually we will support that, but it’s not high on the list.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/410049905]Can there be customizable characters? [/url] - Livestream - 2:20:12 [color=#aa00ff][size=18] New [/size][/color]

“First of all when you embark you will be able to customize everyone before you start the game. The game will randomly generate all you settlers and if you don’t like them you can change their names, you can change their genders, and you can change the way they look, and then once in game you will be able to craft gear for your military units, like leather armour or particular weapons and maybe you’ll be able to craft some gear for your crafters to make them unique or give them crafting buffs.”

• [urlhttp://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1e92bf/iama_team_of_twin_brothers_who_quit_our_jobs_to/c9y0ik7]What kind of things do you see in the crafting aspect of the game?[/url]

"Crafting is going to all about managing your resources. For example, let’s look at the Carpenter:
Right from the get-go, the Carpenter can craft furniture, wooden swords that let you upgrade people into soldiers, and wooden irrigation pipes that will up the productivity of your farms. So there’s lots of stuff you COULD craft, but you’re limited by the amount of wood you can chop down and more importantly your Carpenter’s time.

So you have to choose, what’s most important? Shelter, army, or food? The answer will depend on what’s going on in your game at the moment and what your long term goals are.
And we will have interdependence between the crafters. The blacksmith will need help from the mason to craft his forge, etc."

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/416591323]Will furniture and tools wear out and have to be replaced?[/url] - Livestream - 25:32

"We haven’t talked about that … I would say no, because that to me is kinda ‘busy work’, it’s something you have to have in your head where you’re thinking “oh, I need to have some spare tools in case one breaks”, it doesn’t seem fun to me personally."

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/416591323] “What kind of functionality will we have for choosing colours for our equipment and clothing, can we freely choose colours or will we have to choose dyes, and dedicate labour to dye?” [/url] - Livestream - 1:19:42

“It’s a good question, but it’s kinda tricky because … you can differentiate between units because of their clothing … if you can just screw around with the colours as much as you want you will lose that. Now it’s not a case of we won’t allow you to do it, it’s just that we don’t want you to be able to shoot yourself in the foot and forget what your units are because you’ve altered the class colours. If we did allow you to do it, you would likely have ito devote some time and resources into it.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/416591323] Will we see collectables in the game? [/url] - Livestream - 1:30:11

“Sounds cool … we have a couple of ideas where there’s stuff you can’t normally get, and if you’re really dedicated you can get it, so I think the answer is yes.”

Characters/ Races/ NPCs/ AI =============================================

---

• Are all characters male?

“Girl characters are coming! I just need to polish off their core animations and they’ll be good to go”

• Can I take control of one of the guys in first person?

“No. That’s a whole other game. I’m serious, we have a design for a whole new game where you play as an adventurer in cities and worlds built in Stonehearth. We have to finish Stonehearth first though. ;)”

• What’s the difference between the Beast Master and the Animal Trainer?

“The Beast Master is a combat unit who fights with an animal ally. The Animal Trainer is a civilian unit who can charm and train animals for domestic or combat use” [urlhttp://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1590639245/stonehearth/comments?cursor=3112894#comment-3112894] Link[/url]

• [urlhttp://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1e92bf/iama_team_of_twin_brothers_who_quit_our_jobs_to/c9xyjyf]“What options will you present to the USER when it comes to pathfinding?” [/url]

“Well, we don’t want the player to have to micro-manage most units. You sort of give the orders and your settlers figure out how to implement your plans.
For combat units, where you do exert more control, we will have the pathing options you would expect in an RTS: waypoints, patrol, etc.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/404702629]More on pathfinding [/url] Livestream - 39:30

"We want our pathfinder to take into account the type of terrain, so there’ll be a cost, maybe the cost of traversing a road is half the cost of traversing grass which is half the cost of traversing rocky terrain. "

• [urlhttp://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1e92bf/iama_team_of_twin_brothers_who_quit_our_jobs_to/c9xynyt]Will there be Kings and Queens?[/url]

“We’ve thought about it, but that’s a tough one because it implies a certain kind of city. If I’m the kind of player that’s building a monastery or a trade-city, then maybe I don’t want a king or queen”

• [urlhttp://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1e92bf/iama_team_of_twin_brothers_who_quit_our_jobs_to/c9y093y] Regarding character relations, will there be kids? [/url]

“We want your settlers to have relationships: to fall in love, mourn each other when they die, etc. Kids are tough. We’re not sure how to model kids moving from infant through childhood to adulthood. Maybe we can do something simple like have an infant to pow instantly “levels up” to a little kid then bam later becomes a full grown adult. We’ll keep thinking about it.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/407350924]Will individual settlers be innately adept or inept at various classes? [/url] - Livestream - 1:11:04

“My gut reaction, and this a gut reaction … no, because then we’re restricting your choice, maybe you want your blacksmith to be the guy with the epic beard … but if he’s naturally a fisherman, and some other guy is a blacksmith then you’re stuck … We don’t want to restrict your choice like that … so my gut reaction is … you pick what class your units are and then they gain proficiency.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/407350924]What other epic units will there be like the Magma Smith? [/url] - Livestream - 2:03:27

“We’ve thought about maybe the big game hunter being one of these epic units … our current take on magic is that magic will be rare in the game … so you can imagine a wizard type unit being an epic type unit … we almost think of magic like a nuclear power, you can do a lot of fantastic stuff with it, but the more you invest in it the more chance you have of having a disaster.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/409538808]What will the villagers do if they don’t have anything to do, do they have their own will? [/url] - Livestream - 20:15

“Now we have one action which is idle, but they should have their own little agendas, their own souls. Sometimes they’ll look around, perhaps take a toy and play with it, if they’re tired they’ll go to sleep, they should all have hobbies … if there’s nothing for them to do, they’ll find something to do.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/409538808] Can we raise the dead? [/url] - Livestream - 27:15

“Yes …it has to make it in, we don’t know how, but it has to make it in. There will be some way, you might not like it. Maybe this is how the zombie apocalypse starts … maybe the penalty for losing someone is that you have to ‘res’ them, and ‘ressing’ them too often could turn them into a zombie … zombie apocalypse should be a way to lose the game”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/409538808]Are skills determined by class alone? [/url] - Livestream - 1:01:49

“No, it’s a combination of skills and tools …we know that your skills will be a combination of mostly your class, and items could add perhaps a certain skill.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/409538808] “Will trading with other races be an option?” [/url] - Livestream - 13:21

“Yer, that was the idea behind the lagomorphs … you should be able to trade with NPCs, friendly and perhaps not so friendly … people will interact with your city, sometimes to tear it down, sometimes to barter with you, sometimes to demand tribute … and you should be able to interact with the civilizations around you.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/416591323]“Will there be a sculptor who can make sculptures which you can create out of voxels in the game?” [/url] - Livestream - 31:47

“We thought about that … adding an in-game voxel editor is a big chunk of work, it would be awesome, but its like not worth it yet … eventually maybe, but for now we’re not gonna do that, but it’s a good idea. We even thought about how to level up the carver so that when he levels up you can do more intricate carvings, but if it makes it in, it’s something that will be there later rather than sooner.

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/410049905]With the introduction of additional races like the dwarves, will we eventually see the NPC factions, like the rabbit clan, become fully functionally playable classes? [/url] - Livestream - 2:26:19 [color=#aa00ff][size=18] New [/size][/color]

“That’s a great idea; I would love to see that. What I really hope is that once we release dwarves, is that they’ll be enough of an example of how to [make a race] that a group of ambitious modders will make another race.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/410049905] Can you recruit other races to you village?[/url] - Livestream - 3:32:43 [color=#aa00ff][size=18] New [/size][/color]

“Once we have the other races probably ye, but that’s way down the line. I was talking earlier about how it would be cool if you were playing human and ran into the dwarves and you could bribe some dwarves to either to work through the season to craft some dwarf stuff or maybe even join your town if you’re really nice to them.”

Animals, Monsters, Creatures

---

• [urlhttp://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1e92bf/iama_team_of_twin_brothers_who_quit_our_jobs_to/c9xymxy]Regarding pets, will there be more? Can you have them all out at once? [/url]

"The pets are like their own little characters that will wander around, play, etc. We’re going to try allowing all the pets at once and see how that goes.
One of our early stretch goals was a baby mammoth pet for all KS backers. I think we’re more or less done with pets now. We have a good variety and don’t want to overdo it."

• Can you name the puppy?

“Of course!”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/410049905] “Does the pet puppy/kitten do anything? Or are they just there to look cute and adorable?” [/url] - Livestream - 0:27:50 Thanks @twip for this.

“They are there just for looks, just too look cute and adorable. If they did something then you as kick-starters would have an unfair advantage over non-kick-starters. Which is like pay to win which is not cool in my book. And the game would have to be balanced around sometimes you have these exclusive pets and sometimes you don’t which is tricky.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/407350924]Horses?[/url] - Livestream - 1:28:03

“Mounts in general we’ve wanted for a long time … mounts will be awesome, can’t say when but I like the idea, and mounts for combat as well.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/416591323] Will there be cows? [/url] - Livestream - 1:17:18

“No cows … cows are so stereotypical aren’t they? Don’t you want something other than a cow? How about, maybe like yaks, or big goats, something other than a cow. Just something different that mixes it up, something a bit more unique.”

Combat =========================

---

• Will there be a mode without combat?

“Yes! When you start a game you will be able to choose whether you want to include monsters on the world. So if you just want to zen out and focus on the town-building aspects without having to worry about some giant red monster stomping on your sand-castles, you can totally do that.”

• [urlhttp://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1e92bf/iama_team_of_twin_brothers_who_quit_our_jobs_to/c9xzo3t] Can you go into further detail about the combat class options that will be available? [/url]

"*For combat, you’ll be able to customize your army through class and gear. Your unit’s class will determine most of its abilities, and we’ll have all the archetypes represented: tank, melee nuker, ranged nuker, healer, etc.

Then each unit’s gear will determine some passive bonuses, and occasionally grant new abilities. For instance, you may decide that you want a strong defensive front line, so you promote 10 footmen and just 2 archers as the main damage dealers behind them, but you can choose to arm those footmen with swords, which do extra damage, or maces, which have a chance to stun on hit.

Of course, all of this is just an example of the kind of feel we’re going for. Exact mechanics are subject to change."*

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/404702629]Will the Kickstarter pets have combat abilities? [/url] Livestream - 29:00

“Probably not, whatever abilities they have we want them to be non-unique, the pets themselves are unique … What we don’t want it to be like, because you did the kickstarter – you have a gameplay advantage that no one else can take advantage of. So, if they have combat abilities they will be non-unique.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/409538808]“Will I be able to read flavour text in my combat logs?” [/url] - Livestream - 1:32:41

“I don’t think we’ll go as far as Dwarf Fortress … making combat more epic than just numbers popping above a head is something I would want to do … but I’m not sure right now.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/416591323] On firearms [/url] - Livestream - 1:54:22

“Firearms might come out of the engineer but they’d be super basic like musket type stuff, we’re not going to have automatic weaponry or anything.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/410049905]How big do you plan larger battles to be? [/url] - Livestream - 2:25:25 [color=#aa00ff][size=18] New [/size][/color]

“We don’t have a great feel for it yet, hundreds is too big, dozens maybe? We are thinking that a city, a big city, would have 50-100 people. Beyond the hundred people it starts to get kinda crazy, we want you to be able to recognize people on sight and say: “oh ya there’s Merv Buryhands he’s my worker that I promoted to a carpenter and is now a Master Carver,” so that kinda puts a cap on it.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/410049905] Could the Geomancer be used as a combat unit? [/url] - Livestream - 2:28:10 [color=#aa00ff][size=18] New [/size][/color]

“Yea, I can see how it could be useful as a combat unit. [The geomancer] could cause a split in the earth in front of a group of potential invaders. Will she have combat spells? Probably not, the spirit behind her is that she is boost to your domestic side. She crafts golems to boost your productivity and she helps clear earth much more quickly then you could without her. She is not designed to be a combat unit but you can imagine her as a support unit helping with defense.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/410049905]Will there be siege weapons? [/url] - Livestream - 2:44:42 [color=#aa00ff][size=18] New [/size][/color]

“Sounds cool, but they would have to be defensive because in the initial version of the game the odds of you going out to another city and sieging it are not necessarily super high because again we want the focus to be on your town.”

Construction ===============================

---

• Do I build my houses brick by brick or slap down pre-fabs?

“You have two choices. You can layout floor plans and choose different types of walls, roofs, etc. Check out our [urlhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=lCFjqtj8i6M]prototype video[/url] to see this in action. If you’d rather not do that, you can just slap down a pre-fab. Eventually we will support designing your own prefabs, which is basically like building on a blank piece of paper and saving it instead of building directly in the world.”

• [urlhttp://www.reddit.com/r/stonehearth/comments/1e2bes/fitting_doors_and_windows/c9xaitz?context=3]Fitting doors and windows?[/url]

“Our current thinking (subject 100% to change) is that the carpenter builds the door or window, and puts it in a stockpile designated to hold furnishings. The workers are responsible for taking the door and fitting it into the house.”

• [urlhttp://www.twonkhammer.com/3851/interview-radiant-entertainment-stonehearth/]What about interior rooms? Will we able to decorate or create interior rooms for the larger buildings we have? [/url] Interview - 17:05

“Yes, absolutely, you’re gonna be able to furnish your rooms with furniture … those will have gameplay consequences, there will be decorative things like standards etc. that you can decorate the interior of your buildings with.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/407350924] Can you customise the appearance of buildings as well? [/url] - Livestream - 1:52:40

“Yes … eventually you’ll be able to choose the materials for the floor, the walls, you’ll be able to choose different patterns for the roof. And then you’ll be able to paint your walls through crafting, so lots of customisation.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/409538808]How complex can the buildings be? [/url] - Livestream - 48:10

“As complex at least as the one’s you’ve seen in the concept art … ultimately we want you to be able to make anything … it’s just a matter of how long it takes us to get there.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/410049905]Will scaffolding become more realistic in the final release, like one settler says on top and is handed materials from below? [/url] - Livestream - 2:16:25 [color=#aa00ff][size=18] New [/size][/color]

“We like the way scaffolding works. If you start to try and model things with one guy stays up on the scaffolding and you start handing bricks off between people the AI gets a lot more complicated and really all it does is make building more efficient, but there are easier ways to make building more efficient if we determine building takes too long. We could make people walk 5% faster or right now a single log can make five bricks we could change that to seven bricks and now building is more efficient. … We want to make it cool but eventually you are wasting time making the game 1% cooler.”

Engine/ Programs used =======================================

---

• What program do you use to make those models?

“Qubicle Constructor.”

• What engine/language are you developing this in?

“We wrote our own engine in C++ and Open GL.”.

• [urlhttp://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1e92bf/iama_team_of_twin_brothers_who_quit_our_jobs_to/c9xybr3]What languages and tools are you using in the development of Stonehearth?[/url]

“The core engine is written in C++11 and Open GL. We write all the gameplay and AI in LUA. Finally, we use JS and HTML for the UI.”

[Geoffers747]

Modding ========================

---

• “Modding tools looking strong. Are they that strong that the community could even create a sci-fi Version of the Game?”

  " All the major game features like building, farming, the classes, AIs, etc are built and ship as “mods” that we just happened to write. So modding will be VERY powerful. It would be a huge effort to do a total conversion to sci-fi or whatever, but it will be possible".

• Can we start modding with the Beta?

“Yes, modding support will be there right from the start of the beta. It’s so baked into the game that honestly it would be hard to turn it off. The fancy editors will be a little immature, but if you don’t mind rolling up your sleeves and writing some LUA and JSON, you’ll be able to write mods yourself from day 1.”

• Are they primarily aesthetic items & stats or is there a scripting component?

There’s definitely scripting. We’re trying to build as many gameplay systems as possible using our own modding tools. Ideally, anything you see in the game you can replicate and put your own twist on using the modding tools. So you can add your own item, give it a cool animation, and make it do something unique with scripts. Want a pair of magic boots that make your worker run 3x as fast? No problem!

• Can I add a new item in a mod? What is moddable?

*"Yes, you can make a new item as a mod. We’re working very hard to make everything as moddable as possible. Basically we’re writing all of the game systems and content using the same tools that we will make available to you guys as modders. Here are some of the things you can do in a mod:

• Make new items
• Add new monsters
• Add new classes and abilities
• Add new RPG-like scripted adventures
• Reskin or add to the UI
• Tweak the AI of your settlers or the monsters"
  
  

• Can we, besides creating custom items, also create a custom supply chain? For example - Custom armour made from Giant beetles which will need to be hunted and then processed?

“Yes, that was one of our first design goals for the crafting system. In fact, the trees you see in the concept video, the wood they generate, and the fact that wood is a raw material to make the house are all driven by the mod system. Making items which require beetle carapaces which must be looted from giant beetles you’ve slain in the field (or even harvested from the exoskeletons your pet beetles have outgrown) is definitely possible.”

• What’s the art process?

“We use Qubicle for all the voxel art. Stonehearth comsumes .qb files natively and our resource file format is just JSON, so it’s really easy to get new art assets into the game. We’re using 3DSMax for rigging and animation, but the animation file format is, again, just JSON.”

• Regarding Qubicle Constructor

“I [Tom] use the Master Edition of this program, because I need to export data both to get the model into Stonehearth and to animate using 3DS Max. The Master Edition is $79. Apparently at some point I said that you could use the free version of the program to make mods for Stonehearth, but if I did that is NOT correct. You can use the free version to play around with voxels, but the free version does not support exporting data.”
We are in the very early stages of defining tools, and will let you know more when we’ve nailed down some plans. We would like to find a way for you to use Qubicle Constructor, maybe with a special Stonehearth edition. Such a program would probably not be free, since the people at minddesk need to eat too!

• 3DS MAX

“I [Tom] use 3DS Max to animate. That is a very expensive program. I can tell you 100% that we will not require 3DS Max for animation! Our animations are stored in simple text files in a very straight-forward file format. It should be very easy for someone familiar with an open-source tool like Blender to write a script that exports Stonehearth animations.”

• Will there be a World editor at some point?

“No world editor out of the box, but it would be possible to write one if someone was super ambitious”

• “Will you put someone else’s mods in the core game?” - Livestream - 36:40

“That’s a very good question … we don’t know, that’s very hard for a lot of reasons … we don’t wanna take advantage of anyone, or make anyone feel that way, It’s so early it’s hard to say.”

• “How will variations in skin colour, hair and clothes be handled from an asset creation point of view?” -Livestream - 1:32:40

“The idea is that … the way that we handle variations is that we layer on changes, so there’s a file that says ‘this is what it means to be a person’, and it’s just the name of all the matrices, and that’s the base definition. Now we can enhance that, by saying that, for this piece use one of these things, so use either head 1,2,3 or 4. And you can do that either in the datafile, or through the script. So if that means if you want to add a mod that’s 50 different heads, then that’s easy for you to do that … this is more than just heads of course, it goes for all body parts.”

• How will story driven mods work given it’s a city building game? - Livestream - 1:35

“We have two things that seem to compete, one is that we want RPG like adventuring elements, but the other is that it’s a city building game … we do want the focus of the game to be you building your city, so the action is focussed there, but at the same time want story driven things. The way we will handle that is …a lot of the story driven mods, not all but a lot, will be about stuff that happens to your town … you can imagine a plague, a zombie invasion, a goblin invasion party, they’re a bit dramatic examples, but also things like a caravan. That way it focusses on your city and allows us a lot of room for story telling.”

• Will the mods be steam workshop or will the game have built-in function to get mods? - Livestream - 1:45:35

“We’re gonna have some sort of built-in functionality to highlight mods which are particularly awesome to install them, but keeping some sort of mod marketplace with things you’d expect with ratings, reviews, etc … whatever we’ll do it will work as well for none-steam customers.”

• Given that you plan to abstract some of the low level lua programming will those who are interested be able to deep dive for more power? - Livestream - 3:08:00

“Yes! The modding tools you are getting are literally the tools we used to make the entire game. So if you want to go in, and I mean like really go in, and make something super complicated and extensive, like a total conversion where people are settling on the moon and you have to build moon buggies and spacesuits and you have to mine gas, you can. It’s going to be a ton of work but you can do it … Now there is a tiny bit of difference; you won’t have access to the engine source, but the engine is as small as we can possible make it. It handles tasks like rendering to the screen, handling keystrokes and mouse input, and pathfinding. However we give you access to the pathfinder in Lua. You could say here’s this piece of wood now make a path to it.”

• Will modders be able to add sounds? - Livestream - 22:17 [color=#aa00ff][size=18] New [/size][/color]

“Yes, of course”

• Will we be able to adjust the size of the GUI, make it larger? - Livestream - 22:17 [color=#aa00ff][size=18] New [/size][/color]

“You will probably be able to change the size of the GUI. Definitely make it smaller, make it bigger, maybe. We’ll think about it”

Multiplayer ==============================

---

• On multiplayer

“Co-op multiplayer will be server based, and the server will determine the right mod list. We can probably do some sandboxing where we store your per-server mods in a different directory, so you don’t have to manage your mods every time you hit a new server.”

• [urlhttp://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1e92bf/iama_team_of_twin_brothers_who_quit_our_jobs_to/c9xyft1]How will mods work in multiplayer? Say if I create a super one-hit-kill sword … [/url]

"For multiplayer games, the server will determine the list of mods that are in use for that game, and all players will need to have those mods installed.
So if you created a game with a certain set of “fair” mods, I can’t join your game with my uber-sword-of-whup-ass and wreck shop.
We will have some system to sync up the mods between you and the server so you don’t have to manage them manually."

• [urlhttp://www.twonkhammer.com/3851/interview-radiant-entertainment-stonehearth/] How many players will be able to play on a multiplayer server together? [/url] Interview - 31:15

“More than 1 and fewer than 200 … I dunno, we gotta figure it out! I mean it’s a simulation game, it’s gotta make sense, it’s not probably gonna be 100, but, essentially, we’re not sure.”

• [urlhttp://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1590639245/stonehearth#faq_58352] Will the PvP be opt-in? [/url]

“Yes. You absolutely do not have to participate in PvP if you don’t want to. Also, even if you do participate, only a copy of your city gets uploaded for other people to play in. Life in your local city goes on as normal.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/410049905] Will a guild system be implemented if and when Connected World is implemented? [/url] - Livestream - 2:23:19 [color=#aa00ff][size=18] New [/size][/color]

“Yes, I’m not going to say yes yes, but it’s pretty core to connected worlds to have the ability to band together a bunch of players in a guild and say our cities combined and connected are an empire.”

The Gameworld

---

• I was hoping for more biomes like Deserts, Jungles and Deep Caves [color=purple][size=10][/size][/color]

“[urlhttp://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1590639245/stonehearth/posts/470983?cursor=3072326#comment-3072326]Don’t worry! After we implement Glacier Biome, it shouldn’t be too hard to implement others … But the game should have swamps, deserts,etc in addition to grasslands and glaciers.[/url]”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/410049905] Will there be biome specific races? [/url] - Livestream - 2:29:30 [color=#aa00ff][size=18] New [/size][/color]

“That’s tricky, there will be biome specific critters and animals, and you will be more likely to encounter goblins in foothills and forests than the river delta, but we don’t want to go too overboard because we don’t want to mask off a large percentage of the content based on where you chose to settle.”

• How large can the worlds potentially be? Is there a planned limit or will it be open ended?

“The world is procedurally generated, so it’s theoretically of way larger than you could explore. There might be good game play reasons to stay close to your town, though. We’ll find a good balance when we do beta testing”

“Re: world size, our goal is that the world will expand as you explore it. Remember, since this is a city management game it’s not like you’re going to be trekking hundreds of miles away from home, but we don’t want you running into any map borders either.”

[/url]

“We are planning on fog of war.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/407350924]To what extent will I be able to alter the terrain, if I wanted to build a town on a tall hill will I be able to use my geomancer?[/url] - Livestream - 1:22:19

“Yes exactly, firstly you’ll be able to alter the terrain with your workers, they’ll be able to like dig ditches and build hills but they’re just ordinary humans so they won’t be able to build mountains. The idea behind the geomancer is that it’s a sort of amplifier for your workers and their ability to change the world, ‘she’ can raise entire pillars of earth or make sinkholes … the other thing she can do is make earthern golems to replace/supplement your workers.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/409538808] Will there be any terrain based dangers to explorers like quicksand, wildfires? [/url] - Livestream - 33:12

“Those all sound cool … The game is gonna be primarily focussed on your city, so it’s not really about going off and exploring, so investing resources in the landscape might not be worth it … it’s all about what happens to your city, and perhaps these disasters coming to you, either a sandstorm, or forest fire. That doesn’t mean 100% of the time will be focussed on your city, as there will be interaction with surrounding factions etc.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/409538808]Can we replant trees, or do we just deforest our world? [/url] - Livestream - 16:59

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/409538808]Are resources on the map finite, will we have to start a new game because they’re exhausted? [/url] - Livestream - 18:10

“I hope not, that’d be a horrible reason to restart a game … you shouldn’t have to restart the game because you feel like you’ve made bad choices … there’ll always be a way to find resources from somewhere … dig deeper, trade, replant trees …”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/409538808] Will there be populated underground dungeons, abandoned structures?[/url] - Livestream - 30:50 ]

“All of those sound like great ideas for the dwarves, certainly not before the release, we’re trying to focus on the core above ground city building, crafting, defending game … there might be abandoned structures above ground, they might be something you bump into … which may have cool artifacts etc.”.

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/416591323]Will weather be just for show or will it effect the game? [/url] - Livestream - 46:14

“Some yes, some no, it’s not just gonna be for show … lightning strikes catching things on fire sounds cool, weather will effect crops … imagine big weather phenomenons, like tornados and day/night cycle shifts. Smaller things like wind, maybe, maybe not.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/410049905] Will seasons and things affect the growth of crops [/url] - Livestream - 2:35:09 [color=#aa00ff][size=18] New [/size][/color]

“Yea, rain affecting crops is something that is easy, obvious and works great. The fun for us in our simulations is: we setup the rules, you learn rules, you develop a system that is totally awesome and then we knock over your sandcastle with a random event and you have to react. Rain or drought is the kind of thing that is like well I thought I was master of the universe but now there’s this drought so how do I react.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/409538808]How are alternate planes going to work? [/url] - Livestream - 42:14

“We’re still brainstorming it … at the minimum we want the alternate planes to be substantially different from the terrestrial plane … we want them to be other-worldly, somewhere where you’re not supposed to be.”

General Gameplay ==================================

---

• [urlhttps://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=344330292353662&id=331291483657543&comment_id=1667127&offset=0&total_comments=3]How will your settlement grow population wise?[/url]

“Your settlement will grow at the same scale as your food supply. We haven’t nailed down the final mechanic yet, but we want there to be a constant choice between burning resources to craft things (buildings, weapons, armor, etc.) and investing in the food supply (farming, trapping) to get more people.”

• Is the “fast-forward” just a developer thing or will that be in the game?

“We will probably leave the fast forward feature in the actual game.”

• [urlhttp://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1e92bf/iama_team_of_twin_brothers_who_quit_our_jobs_to/c9xyua1]If there’s no subterranean exploration how will you ensure there are adequate supplies? [/url]

*We would like to add subterranean exploration eventually, but we’re concentrating on the above-ground game first.
We can tune the amount of supplies vs. materials in the ground pretty easily. For instance, with wood we’ve determined that 1 “block” of wood lets you build 5 blocks of wooden wall, so you don’t have to chop down every tree in the forest to build a handful of houses.
The world will be based on reality, meaning if there’s an outcropping of rock, that outcropping will extend into the ground.

• [urlhttp://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1e92bf/iama_team_of_twin_brothers_who_quit_our_jobs_to/c9xzgt7] What will mining look like to the player? [/url]

“We want the underground to be just as content-dense as the above ground. Above ground there’s stuff going on all the time: trees, flowers, critters hopping around, etc.
We want the underground to have a similar density, where you don’t have to dig very far before running into something interesting, even if it’s just some fluorescent plants in a subterranean cave or whatever.”

• How much do I have to micro food and water supply?

“In general there is no micro in Stonehearth. Combat will have some micro, but that’s pretty much it. When it comes to food and water supply, you will manage the systems that generate food and water, and your settlers will figure out how to implement your plans. For instance, for farming, you will decide where to place the farms and what crops to plant, then design things like irrigation systems, etc. Your farmers will hoe the fields, harvest the crops, and store them all by themselves.”

• Will there be a diversity of resources to gather and mine to attain different looks? ie: varieties of stone and ore, different tree species, etc.

“There will be a variety of resources which provide both cosmetic and functional differences to your structures. If you look carefully in the trailer, you’ll see at least 3 distinct different species of trees. Maybe a wall made of ironwood is better at holding off a pack of invading goblins than one made of oak.”

• Answering questions regarding water and water physics.

“Re water: We’re working on it! Water is…hard. There will certainly be water in the game, and we want it to behave in water like way, with flow, dams, etc.”

• [urlhttp://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1590639245/stonehearth/comments?cursor=3124105#comment-3124105]On the subject of flights:[/url][color=purple][size=18][/size] [/color]

“On the subject of flight, airships, etc. Not in the first release”

• [urlhttp://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1590639245/stonehearth/comments?cursor=3162182#comment-3162182]Will seasons be optional - stockpiling food is hard?[/url]

“There will be a “for fun” mode where we remove everything lethal in the game and just let you zen out and build. Starvation counts as something lethal.”

• [urlhttp://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1e92bf/iama_team_of_twin_brothers_who_quit_our_jobs_to/c9xyhgd]Have you decided on how magic will work? [/url]

“For a while we were thinking that magic would be very rare and mysterious, but we keep coming up with awesome ideas that involve magic, like the magma smith. So stay tuned on that one.”

• [urlhttp://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1e92bf/iama_team_of_twin_brothers_who_quit_our_jobs_to/c9xyicc] Will there be physics based destruction of houses, trees, etc? [/url]

“We would like to add physics for these kinds of things eventually.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/407350924]Does food make workers work more quickly?[/url] - Livestream - 1:08:40

“To be decided – food is an interesting subject, just ordinary food probably not, your workers will need to eat or they will die … But we will likely have food that give you bonuses. We want there to be a reason to build beds and tables for your guys too use, furniture will give bonuses as well … we have to figure out the right way to do this.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/407350924]Will we be able to select a build as a town centre that workers can run to?[/url] - Livestream - 1:22:15

“I can’t say yes we will do it, but it’s a good idea which would be nice to have in the game, and if we don’t do it someone will be able to mod it very easily.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/407350924] Will there be a goal or primarily objective to reach in the game or will it be pure sandbox?[/url] - Livestream - 1:50:13

“A big priority for us is to give you motivation … it won’t be as clear as there’s a primary objective so it is definitely a sandbox game, but we want a clear motivation from the start such as why you’re here and how to progress.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/410049905] Will there be colonization aspects to the game, where form your main city you have satellite settlements?[/url] - Livestream 2:12:40 [color=#aa00ff][size=18] New [/size][/color]

“That sounds like a great feature for an expansion. We want to make sure we nail one city management, that’s not to say you can have only one city. If you chose to send some guys off and make two cities we’re not going to stop you, but that’s not what we are going to optimize for.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/410049905] Can you build multiple settlement s and build an empire?[/url] - Livestream 2:13:10 [color=#aa00ff][size=18] New [/size][/color]

"The way that we think about an empire in the short term or at least in first release is with this connected mode, the connected mode is something that is exciting to us and we would like to do it eventually.

The idea is that you manage a city but you and your friends or you and your clan are an empire and each one of you can a have a role in that empire. You could be the farming city that provides food for the rest of the empire, or you could be the outpost that’s more defense based. There will be real consequences for how you manage your empire like maybe even waging war on other empires, but this is in the far flung future. It’s fun to talk about, but our focus is on the first release of the game."

Beta

• [urlhttps://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=354567117996646&id=331291483657543&comment_id=1731602&offset=0&total_comments=6]When’s Beta?[/url]

“Our timeline goes something like: Kickstarter at the end of this month → Alpha a few months later → Beta a few months after that → release “sometime” later.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/410049905]Why no alpha? [/url] - Livestream - 4:06:42

“Because this represents for us the first viable game, that is the first cut of what we want the game to be. What we’re saying is as soon as we have something mature enough to show the building and crafting and core features we’re going to put it out, that’s called the beta. So by definition it is the first best thing we can put out. Now would we produce something that is incomplete and call it alpha and release it? We could but it would be a distraction. No matter what anyone says when you put out a release it costs something because you fix bugs that you wouldn’t normally fix that soon because they’re just annoying little things. We don’t want to distract ourselves from the real goal which is getting that beta out as quickly as possible.”

• [urlhttp://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/will-beta-have-an-nda/372]Will the Beta have an NDA? [/url]

@sdee

We are not planning an NDA at beta. And we also can’t wait to watch all the youtube videos that result. Extra brownie points for blogs and youtube videos that tell dramatic stories.

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/416591323]"What are the “core” systems you know will be critical for the beta release, and what % complete would you place them at this point (6.5 months away)…" [/url]- Livestream - 34:10

"The core systems for Beta are 100% the two biggest pillars of the game which are crafting and building and we want to have other things that drive APIs at a decent level of completeness … we wanna have a strong crafting, and a strong building game for beta. "

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/410049905]Will co-op be in the beta? [/url] - Livestream - 3:30:39 [color=#aa00ff][size=18] New [/size][/color]

“Unknown, it will definitely be sometime before release because it needs testing obviously, now will it be there at the start of the beta? We don’t know; it would be awesome because the sooner the better, but we cannot commit to that yet.”

Release ==========================

• [urlhttps://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=366378820148809&id=331291483657543&comment_id=1807488&offset=0&total_comments=1]Any plans for iOS?[/url]

“iOS is tougher for us, because we’d have to change the game to work with a touch interface. Anything is possible long term, but we’re focused on PC first.”

• Mac & Linux?

“We fundamentally believe in cross platform support, and we are avoiding Windows only tech so that we can eventually support Mac and Linux. Unfortunately, since we are writing our own engine, we don’t get cross-platform support for free. Mac and Linux ports WILL be stretch goals. We’ll announce all the stretch goals when we near our funding goal.”

Note: Mac & Linux support was the $200,000 stretch goal and has been achieved.

• [urlhttp://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1590639245/stonehearth/comments?cursor=3119003#comment-3119003]DRM?[/url]

“No DRM. Your kickstarter rewards like the baby mammoth will require a one time activation to redeem, but the game will ship DRM free. No DRM…”

• Steam?

• [urlhttp://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1590639245/stonehearth/comments?cursor=3154538#comment-3154538 ] Will there be an Alpha? [/url]

“Right now we’re focused on adding content to the game and fleshing out the core systems like building and crafting. The goal is to give you guys a fun, playable beta by the end of the year, and we don’t want to distract from that goal. That doesn’t mean we definitely won’t release an alpha, but it is not a priority for us.”

• [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/410049905] Will there be updates? [/url] - Livestream - 0:22:03, Thanks @twip.

“Yes, we think of the game as a service. As long as people are willing to play and support the game, mainly monetarily but also having a community for it we’re going to keep working on it. It’s not going to be DLC it will be like hey here’s some new crafting recipes or a new game play mechanic.”

• [urlhttp://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1590639245/stonehearth/comments?cursor=3003104#comment-3003104]Localization? [/url]

"Yes, we will localize! We’d like to crowdsource this if possible"
