About
This game started as a little summer project with my nephew Will, and it's now become a sprawling open world game that I've just kept adding to. I will keep building on this game for the remainder of the days I have left on the earth.
I hope you enjoy it, and I would really appreciate bug reports, bug fix suggestions, and feature requests.

I just got a snow leopard by taming a frost elk (with the whistle). The frost elk didn't turn INTO a snow leopard or anything; the frost elk is still wandering around wild. My pet snow leopard was just created on the spot as soon as I "succeeded" in taming the elk.
It’s real!!!!!
bug: the animals I bought despawned when they went off screen
ITS AUTUMN
bug or intentional game mechanics?: creams and cheeses don't age while in your inventory
yeah so some stuff with pastures are definitely bugged
there used to be a jungle here
hey uum. how do I get the thing I need to upgrade my legendary armour?
bug: shift+h doesn't work to show pasture bounds
bug: animals bought from the herder are like walls. you cant push them or go around them so you often end up getting trapped by them
bug: taming leads don't work. it gives the chat message that you tamed them and it tells you what their new name is and what to do with them buuut they don't follow you
CURD! so I have to walk my livestock all the way back to foxwick
CURD! so I half to walk my livestock all the way back to foxwick
YES A HERDER I WAS RIGHT. GOING TO A NEW VILLAGE HELPED
bug: the stairs down on the gallion don't work
I managed to get out using a wayfarers way
bug: when you try to take the helm back on the gallion it gives a black screen
I think all the towns I have been to have had their population limit hit so I have to go find some other town for higher herder chances. wish me luck
I need to find a new T3 town to check the traders there
cheese cave are going to be an annoying bug aren't they
I think taming leads are bugged. I managed to tame a dairy cow but one it wasn't tamed I accidentally killed it and it didn't follow me anyway essentially I don't know how to get them to my pre-built pasture
darn I failed to tame to golden cow that was in foxwick
YES I MADE A TAMING ROPE
Hey there you go! I'm so glad it worked
and I am now rich enough to put up walls, catapults, watchtowers, and landmines all over the town
you're the liberator of Redstone!
I'm back in my home town of redstone
GOOOOOD MORNING EVERYONE
good morning and good news - patch is now out, and I am hoping that the bug fixes worked for your bug reports. I don't get enough time to playtest them unfortunately, so I'm running blind a bit. But I hope that it helps and thanks again for the reports
well I'm getting off for the night. a little thing for the backpack problem. I think you could add something higher than pocket dimension for us to use that might update it allowing me to buy it and then increase my backpack space back up to what it was befor
I'm on it!
man I love finding these bugs because it makes me feel like I'm helping.
Helping is a vast understatement. Your bug reports have been instrumental @thesquirrel123! The game wouldn't be the same without them, not by a long cheddar shot
is this bug just on my side or is anyone else dealing with it as well
bug vid hope this helps
yeah sooo I might have found another invincible lich king. I am getting the kill gold everytime I break his shield.
Man that Lich King is the gift that keeps on giving. thanks for letting me know - I'm yet again debugging it. ty
but I don't want to start a new one.
okay I think my save has been messed up to much.
anyway for now I'm going to go dungeon delving I guess.
that and exploring the wide world (especially that grey fog)
I want you to know I am bot angry at you tim more so at the npc's (even though they cant do anything about it I don't feel that you can be blamed you have been working so hard and bugs are bound to happen no matter what)
No worries at all. I understand - it's frustrating. But i'm pulling out all the stops to try and squash all the bugs. can i ask: what is the npc issue you mention here? Is it the lack of rope from herder vendors? Fixing that in the patch to give the recipe from that start and also add more herder vendors
reply: poor jungle trees
you are amazing. you are very good at coding. I know a bit of coding my self but I cant fathom half of how this works
ty so much. I fully encourage anyone who's interested in coding and game design to just take the leap
cant craft taming leads. don't have the recipe
WHAT IS THIS I CUT MY WAY THROUGH THE JUNGLE TO GET HERE
Oh dear... oh dear...... i'm so sorry. will add to patch "to do" list thx
I FOUND A SHIPWRITE BEFORE I FOUND A HERDER
Very cool - are you going to do some seafaring? But also not great re: the lack of herders. I'm looking into that next
