Beta Client Feedback

In settings there should be a checkbox to turn off sound effects as well as music.

With the family selection to start the game, I had no information about families viewable, and clicking on a starting area just selected that as my starting position (so I know nothing about my families until the game starts)

Looking a lot crisper and more professional though! Good stuff!

Yes, there is a bug with the family selection that I noticed too late. I have already fixed it in the code.

I must attest that I am VERY dissapointed in the lack of 4K support this game provides![/sarcasm]

There's actually no reason why it wouldn't run in 4K. ;-)

Could we get an option to allow the audio to run in the background, when the game isn't focused?

...and to turn off sound effects as well as music. (when the baby sleeps I try to play! :) )

Also, I made a note in the chat of the game it affects, but there are two stone walls, one looks fine, the other looks broken, but neither have any damage.

There needs to be some sort of incentive to fill in the diary, otherwise, after a game or two, it's a novelty that probably won't be bothered with. I like it, but if you're playing many games, it's not a priority. An incentive of some kind, even just something very small, would help.

Also, message on previous actions for the tower, if unmanned, says "well" rather than tower (or it does in one of the games anyway) was unmanned.

Incentive: Leave surprising notes to other players. For the record, I could see this being abused by people to leave obscene messages in game.

In other news, I've been wondering this, but why is it when I scroll with the mouse scroll wheel it goes so incredibly slow? I've got a mouse (Logitech G502) with an adjustable one, and a casual flick of it on it's loose setting barely makes it through my entire six game list. With it on non-loose mode, it's a solid 13+ flicks of the mouse wheel.

It looks as though food doesn't go to the hungriest in a family first. I have some members who have no issues, a couple who are hungry, and another who is famished. I would have expected there to be no one famished unless everyone else was at least hungry.

I think I need a bugtracker :-)

I'm away for a week as of today and won't have my Mac with me, so won't be able to play for a week (so guess all my guys will die... Though there's a slim chance those with lots of hens may survive I suppose :) )

Very likely they will all die. If not from starvation then from monsters.

Will be an interesting test I guess, as by rights no one should be able to survive if they miss more than a couple of turns in a row.

I do have a couple of families with 5/6 hen houses though, so they shouldn't starve if they all stay undamaged. Stone walls and other defences as well so I'd recommend keeping an eye on them to see how long they last.

Also, with regard to having 5/6 hen houses, it should change once the games start with more real people, I've only been able to do those alongside the defences due to all the dead families that had wood stored on what then became common land.

Just wanted to say the new interface looks nice, like the game is out of Alpha and actually in Beta. Still waiting for faster scrolling, but it's a small thing.

Oh, uh, "Quite Game", as seen from the menu when loaded into a game, should read "Quit Game". Unless you're trying to do a thing and say this is quite a game, which depending on your locality means two (or more) entirely different things.
