  1. I was wondering if anyone knows how I can change my Display Name here in the forums. I’ve been away for a while but I’m getting back into the game. I’d prefer not to create a brand new account, but using this name isn’t going to work anymore.
  2. I did that, my first excursion in. I started a new Pilgrim game in ML, looted enough to have decent supplies, and headed off to FM. I ended up dying from a "fall from great height" when I fell through the ice near the edge of the map and the game helpfully relocated me to the top of a cliff on the border without room to actually stand there...
  3. Brave the Muskeg! I've been spending a lot of time there lately, and it's a wonderful place. Sure, you'll die lots of times, but eventually you start to get to know your way around.
  4. My bear was just at the flat area at the top. It took some creative shimmying up the angles in the rocks to do it. But I didn't have bear quarters scattered everywhere to contend with.
  5. I had a bear die up there too. It's possible, but not easy, as you've discovered.
  6. If Hinterland adds deerskin doggie booties, I'm quitting the game.
  7. Green, glowing eyes? Turns feral? I'm not sure why dogs wouldn't be affected like the wolves are. That could create an interesting dynamic and dilemma for the player.
  8. What would happen to Doggo during the Aurora?
  9. I had never heard of the Group of Seven, but I just looked up their art. You're spot on. I wonder if they were a direct influence on the game design.
  10. Actually, I think player-made maps would be better, at least if there's the ability to create and customize locations. Knowing how many people on these forms think, I have a feeling there would be a lot of interesting and evocative places to explore. Procedurally-generated might be good too, but I'm afraid they would end up being repetitive — lots of the random trailers and cookie-cutter houses with predictable loot locations, fewer Trapper's Homesteads and Katie's Quiet Corners.
  11. That's a nice shot, @HighwayBill. I'd ask where it was taken from, but instead maybe you would want to add it to the "Where in the World is Will?" thread?
  12. Welcome to the forums then, @Biofobico, and have fun. And stay away from the aurora wolves.
  13. Just the occasional mindless glowing aurora wolf, of course.
  14. If they did, you could just sit on that porch and take pot shots at them all day.
  15. Or how about musical instruments? A guitar that you can find somewhere. The more hours you put into playing it, the more you level up your skill, the more it helps to reduce/combat cabin fever. The game needs more small but interesting ways to kill time.
  16. I'd love to see more books in the game, even if they serve no other purpose than this. At least allow us to use random books to pass the time before they become fuel.
  17. That's a waste of a good bear there. Unless you're at Cooking 5, in which case... yum!
  18. I just want to thank you all again. Your work is much appreciated.
  19. Admit it @Mel Guille, you drew the short straw, didn't you?
  20. No, unfortunately not. But it would be neat if it did, with a full sweeping light effect. The lighthouse is still a pretty neat place to see the aurora, though, what with the splendid view.
  21. "To that extent, the entire team will be taking September off to recuperate." Enjoy your well-deserved rest. You've made a great game.
  22. Seems like a post worth reviving, though. I'm in the Twin Cities, Minnesota, now, but grew up in northern New York State, 20 miles from the Québec border, so I still have to remind myself that Canadians aren't all French-speaking.
  23. This. I love the quiet isolation, and the fact that it's always challenging but rarely rushing at you — with those occasional sudden bursts of action being that much more exciting. It's a game for introverts, and I love it.
