Looks good, I like the ideas and your determination, I think this has great potential.
Saw the video 'Crossing the River', very cool, haha.

Nice work, I'll keep watching this (:

Compare this community to Minecraft forum's community:

Guy makes DF inspired game. Everyone cheers and roots for him.

Some guy makes Terraria. Everyone on Minecraft forums are slightly irritated and enraged, save for a few people who are willing to try games regardless of inspiration.

No, I'm not bashing you, creator of this game, and I'm rooting for your project. But comparing this forum's reaction to the others, it's safe to say that this forum is mature.

I beleave part of the reason why a lot of people were angry with terraria (myself included) is because minecraft purchased while DF is free and terraria is also purchased while this game is not. (after watching some videos over terraria ive seen its potential and no longer calling it a ripoff.)

I'm game for this, it seems pretty fun.

Also, fuck terreria and fuck minecraft.
DF and infiniminer all the way.

Hi,

to run the game you must:
1) Unzip the game into a folder
2) Enter the folder
3) Launch the 'towns.cmd' file

If that doesn't work, just edit the towns.cmd (with notepad for example) and add the command "pause" at the end of it.
Launch again the game, and if it crashes you will see the Log in a window.


The game, by default, starts in a 1024x768 resolution, full screen. You can change that editing the towns.ini file.

Greetings

Are you sure you have JRE1.6 ? I had this problem too and I thought I already had JRE1.6 . I have Win 7 64-bit so I got the 64-bit version, and now it runs fine.

This update adds quite a lot!

The food and sleeping system certainly make it feel more like a game.
First time I played most of my citizens starved. 2nd time, I managed to stabilize the population by building 12 wheat farms and 6 bakeries. Then I built 6 farms more, cause if 12 are good, 18 MUST be better! That filled the map with bread

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

All the citizens tend to sleep and eat at the same time at the start of the game, which can cause a food crisis. Is it done using a day/night cycle?
Would be nice to have a level counter (something to show how many levels underground I am), although I haven't dug deeper than 2 levels.

Keep up the good work!

Yes, Xinvoker is right, your system doesn't recognize the java command. You must download and install it to play the game. Maybe in a near future I will add all the necessary files to launch the game, although this would increase the size of the package. Maybe I add it as a separate download.

Thanks Xinvoker. Yes, at the start of the game citizens has similar values, if you play enough you will see that this change as time passes. This happens because, if, for example, a citizen likes to sleep 5 hours (game time) and another likes to sleep 5:20 hours, the first day it seems that they sleep at the same time, but, at day 9 you will see that the second citizen goes to sleep 3 hours later than first (20 minutes x 9 days).
I don't know if I make myself clear
Anyway I will change this in the next version

About the levels, at the moment only 4 levels are loaded. While the underground doesn't contain monsters or new materials it has no sense to add more levels.


Thanks for playing and posting.

I do have JRE 1.6, actually. Unless it got removed at some point, somehow. And in any case, the download was tiny, so there's really no concern for increasing the size of the download package, unless your bandwidth is extremely tight.

Hi Akura,

the message that Windows shows it's fairly clear:

"'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file".

Maybe you unistalled it or removed it from system path.
I added a link in the blog (http://supermalparit.blogspot.com/) to the java.com download page, so, you can download the version that best suits your system (linux/windows 32/64bits, ...). The download it's about 16Mb.

Hope that this can help you to play the game.
