Pretty cool new sandbox game -- other people play?
« on: January 25, 2012, 04:28:40 pm »

Hey, have you guys tried Jumala? I'm having a lot of fun building games and playing other people's games. The cool thing is when you play you earn in-game money to 'buy' more stuff for your own game. It's totally free too. I'm curious to see what everyone else thinks?

Currently i'm thinking well written spambot or someone who doesn't realise they won't be taken seriously here until they get a few posts under their belt so they aren't escaped lunatics anymore.

But nope, looked, i'm not interested.

 Edit: (That was meant as actual information, but that came off more snarky than i wanted.)

Edit2: In which case, my apologies.

He does not look like a spam bot, just a kid trying to give back to the community. Looking at the game it looks like it is targeted for a younger group. Many people make the mistake making their first post in the other games section of this forum. I remember back ages ago when I made my first post starting a community fortress and how that section of the forum is where many people made their first post.

tl;dr: Probably a real person, most likely young. Game looks really childish.

Hm, i too made my first post in here for pretty much that exact reason: I knew a game that i though was pretty rad and i wanted you guys to know about it.
Also, doesn´t chilid bear some negative connotations?

It usually means "slaughter," or "cannon fodder," but this is Dwarf Fortress.

So now it means "fuel".

A good rule of thumb, when wanting to post something in a forum you haven't posted in before, is to post some replies to some other threads first to get your post count up so people won't think you're a bot.

I checked out a couple videos on this game, it seems to be in beta right now, so things are a bit rough apparently. The graphics are outdated and cartoony, but it does seem to have some interesting bits. Maybe i'll try it later and check out what it's about. It seemed to be more of a level editor than a game but we'll see.

Jumala means "God" in Finnish, for those who didn't know.

Also the game doesn't seem that great.

From what little I've seen, it looks like Second Life for a younger audience. And that didn't go very well when Lego tried it.
