I knew they had a special name for them, couldn't remember exactly what they called it. I've always been fascinated by what the loggers came up with, camp 18 in oregon has a what used to be a 38 or 39 ford truck that is now a log skidder, it would put mad max to shame! there's a video of it on youtube, I'll put a link to it in a new topic in the survival and outdoor activities section.

Nervous Pete Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Hi Raphael, Thank you so much for the update. For me, I never doubted that you were all fully hard at work on this game, but it is nice to hear your plans, hopes and dreams along with a progress update. I think you made the right decision on taking longer on this one. I find it reassuring that although you are broadening the scope a little, everything I read about this seems to be in keeping with an intensely personal, emotional experience. I was very excited by the new teaser footage. The sparking, flaming power lines especially! The Carrington Event has fascinated me for a long time - probably down to the cool name. I'm kinda hoping it isn't a supernatural event, there's still something immensely mysterious and potentially mythic about this scientific calamity knocking us back to a primitive level. The increased detail looks very intriguing and atmospheric, without sacrificing the evocative feeling of the art style. I'm very excited to meet characters out there too. I hope they're infrequent enough to preserve the feeling loneliness in the game, but I'm certain you know what your doing. It's rare that a game engages me this much. I adore Cities Skylines, and am having a surprising amount of fun in American Truck Simulator (a game I only bought in fond memory of a Nevada road trip) - but no game has made me conjure up my own stories in daydreams as much as this one has. Not even Sunless Sea, and that was hugely atmospheric. I think you've found some sort of magical sweet-spot in world building, narrative, art style and mechanics and I for one wouldn't be surprised if you return to your office one day to find other developers rifling through your waste-paper baskets for discarded notes. I only ask that you keep in mind the ability for a player to tell their own story through journals and keepsakes and maybe the discovery of play-session diaries and stories uploaded from other players, that can be found on bodies and in cabins. I don't ask my favourite novelists, artists and film-makes to rush their works, and I'm not going to ask you. I'd rather wait for the chance of a legendary game, rather than pressure you into giving us something compromised and undercooked. Heaps of respect.

boshmi Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I logged on today with a "Is story mode released yet?" Attitude. I log off today hopping all around my room with excitement, and my partner asking we what is going on. Thank you so much for sharing this, I'm bubbling over with excitement. I just can't wait. Keep up the great work. I love your game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vhalkyrie Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) I don't have too much to add that hasn't already been said. Really excited for the new features! Usually I'm hesitant to buy Early Access games, but this one has more than exceeded my expectations. I have almost 300 hours played according to my Steam stats, which is on par with my Dragon Age hours. My longest played game is Skyrim with 913 hours. With all the features you have planned, I well expect TLD to meet or exceed my Skyrim hours! You are building a classic. I am more than willing to wait for the Story mode, and am eagerly anticipating the Sandbox updates in the meantime!

oversoul Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Rome wasn't built in a day. Take your time Hinterlands team and know that a legion of patient survivors is behind you 100%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boshmi Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 19 hours ago, Vhalkyrie said: You are building a classic. I've been thinking about this. The Long Dark has come so far from when I first joined this trip, and many a time I have asked myself... Will this game become one of the greats? Everything about it is just so set to be incredible, I think Hinterland can pull off something truly amazing here, rivaling AAA titles and showing people that indie games can be incredible too. Everything about it is actually really inspiring, and I love them for it. I'd also like to say... Have you ever played a AAA survival game? Can anyone here remember a time when they played a game that was AAA from launch and based in the survival genre? This game could send Hinterland right to the top, and if this is the game to do it, it could bring a new light, and something different to the awful market of fps garbage that AAA companies seem to be shoveling out at an alarming rate. Not only are Hinterland building a better game, they're building a better market. For gamers. Or maybe I'm looking way too deep into this. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a lot of other things to finish first. For NPCs: I don't want to say too much at the moment. spring / summer maybe (transport)? else frozen horse or was you thinking of huge amount of horse pies (food).

Do the horses have the ability to die or be harvested? Also, what is the parlay system and can you trade with the sandbox NPC's using furs as currency for goods such as kerosene or food items? Let me know when you get the chance, Thanks!! Be patient young padawan! Wait... wrong game! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How awesome please is this? I'm going to tattoo TLD on my back for this Though one must wonder how we're supposed to drive a canoe over frozen rivers or is this a hint to future map updates? Silly, There will be a springtime, read the roadmap lol :-) 6-12 Month Window Mod support Spring Sandbox exciting right?! *jump skip jump* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorKajita Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Really looking forward to the update (next week!). I have been a pretty dedicated PC gamer for many years, but recently stopped all gaming except for TLD. I haven't played much though after settling into the cabin at Timberwolf Mountain. I expect to start my TLDdiction again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loganw3 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Quick question: did it seem to anyone else like the lights were on in the aurora shot? The light to the left of the Burning wire seemed to be on. Maybe that's just me thinking wishfully? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cekivi Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 That's definitely the lights turning on. There's another light flickering in the foreground and one way back in the background at 1:53 into the video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
