  • Servants? ... well, that's disappointing. Fantasies of social control aren't super appealing to me. To each his own I guess.

  • Music to my ears, can't wait!

  • Servant, really? Perhaps rephrase it as "helper" or some other neutral word.
    Posted 9 months ago by Fussycat Subscriber! | Permalink
  • A simplified UI, huh?  I truly look forward to seeing what you mean - hard to improve a good thing.  Good luck, Tiny Speck, and thank you for bringing us along for the ride!

  • Fantasies of social control aren't super appealing to me either.

  • OMG..Servants..!!! Waaahhh!! Puzzles..& Quests..Double triple waaahh!!! :D

  • BattleToadette: there will be no more magic rock (in the UI).
    Posted 9 months ago by stoot barfield Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Can servants hop? If no, then I shall put mine up on a shelf and talk to him. Are they short? Customizable? I shall treat mine like a king. So he will treat me like a king!
    A big hug and thanks to Tiny Soeck, to the helpers and the Giants :)

  • :-O... Nooo you cant take our rock.. :(

  • Your rock will live forever in the ground by your house.

  • I shall pretend my servant is a robot butler, so that I don't have to feel bad about having a servant. (Also, I shall name him Alfred.) 

    I can't wait until this goes live! Whee!

  • YAY :D..Will we still see him.. like.. his wee face and everything ?  And his raised eye brow when he is displeased..lol

  • You should have to HIRE the servants!
    Posted 9 months ago by drakodood Subscriber! | Permalink
  • there should be no slaves
    Posted 9 months ago by drakodood Subscriber! | Permalink
  • nice!! This sounds awesome! Thank you for the update and all the work that's being done :D

  • Sniff sniff no more rock that makes me sad. Just wonder, when can we expect to see the first of these updates?
    Posted 9 months ago by koolaroo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Very excited!
    Posted 9 months ago by xombiekitty Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'm not sure if you people are meant to be pretending to be insane, but: wait and see! If a doll that you have brought to life loves you so much that, out of gratitude, that they want to hang out on your home street giving and receive packages on your behalf, would you really think of them as a "slave"?
    Posted 9 months ago by stoot barfield Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Nope..they be my wee helper friend.. :) lol
    Posted 9 months ago by Cryztal Subscriber! | Permalink
  • (The craftybot on the other hand ... well, that's pretty much a slave. But: it's mechanical!)
    Posted 9 months ago by stoot barfield Subscriber! | Permalink
  • For the record (and speaking only for me) I was kidding. I think the idea of a "servant" is an excellent idea in terms of game play and I am not so overly emotional that I will feel badly about making use of a string of bits and bites. (But I shall still name him Alfred and pretend he's a robot!)

  • So, the imagination we'll spend to create/build our houses - is it the same as our xp->imagination?
    Posted 9 months ago by muffin Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Stop teasing.. lol 
    Posted 9 months ago by Cryztal Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Aww, I'll be sad without the magic rock staring at all day above the game screen. But can't wait to see the dolly and other features. Now, excuse me while I try and level up. :D

  • "I'm not sure if you people are meant to be pretending to be insane"
    Pretending?? You must know us better than that by now!
    Posted 9 months ago by MaryLiLamb Subscriber! | Permalink
  • muffin: yes — imagination is both like XP (in the sense that the total amount you have earned over your lifetime of play is counted in the background and determines you level) and like a currency (in the sense that you can spend what you earn).

    But, a little clarification: your land will be expanded and cultivated with imagination while building the house up requires crafted items/resources.

  • well i guess this guy hanging from my real life monitor will lose his meaning :(  Real life magic rock cries "whyyyyy?"

  • So are levels going away? Or are we all just starting from level 1?
    Posted 9 months ago by SeerQueen Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I love your rock, Soupie!
    Keep it there. Defy the staff.
    Rebel.
    Posted 9 months ago by Palindrome Subscriber! | Permalink
  • The rock will still be in the game — just not in the top-middle of your screen all the time (and … it won't be learning skills for you any more).
    Posted 9 months ago by stoot barfield Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Sweet Sweetness...ALLLLRIGHT!!!!  Sounds like fun, and I'm soooo looking forward to having my own personal Alfred!  Fingers crossed there will be sandy beach options...will miss the rock though... :'(  Appreciate the info/update.

  • SeerQueen: neither (there still will be levels and you won't be starting from level 1). We're "compressing" the levels a bit, so the amount of effort it takes to get to level 60 currently will now take you to level 40 instead. So, everyone's level will appear to go down (it will be a lower number) but it is transposing it to the equivalent position in the new system.
