Cool
Hell yeah
Indeed
>I had fun with this game.
How fricking DARE you.
I mean, it is Ganker
This game was great during the exploration phase. When there were things I didn’t know about and the world was a mystery I loved it. As soon as the core game play loop became apparent it started to lose my attention. Id love to autstically build bases more but remembering how I’ll have to grind resources and haul them around over and over again kills it for me.
You can put it in creative mode, my dude. Or give yourself the resources you need.
Creative mode usually doesn’t do it for me either. Feels like cheating. Besides take out the risk reward of gathering mats and hunting things then why am I playing this instead of some other building game with more depth in the building aspect.
There is a compromise, you idiot. If you're building something modest you really don't need to invest that much time for materials. It's something grandiose that needs it. In that case, you flip the switch, do your thing, and then enjoy the fruits while returning to normal gameplay.
I see your point but I could just play another game and not have to make compromises to have fun.
Okay, just rob yourself of your own satisfaction then. You are unsavable.
That's why I'm waiting for the next biome to come out. The exploration is fricking excellent in this game. It's sad to see them taking so long, but hopefully it pans out in the game's benefit.
Had a good time combing the enviroment and enjoying the aesthetic with a mate or two, and even a couple solo hours. Don't see it being engaging for much longer than that without some serious work on the systems combat relies on. If nothing else, just pure animation work would do wonders, I remember most enemies just vaguely swiping or jittering to display attacks
Combat animations are fine except maybe the wolf's bite. What sucks is that they don't adjust to ground level or your aim at all so you miss 90% of attacks if you're not on flat ground. It would be such a simple fix to add a little bit of IK aiming bias to the animations in Unity but they haven't done it because they're too busy spending the millions they made from the game.
Actually the spear and polearm animations do suck ass they need to be redone entirely and give the weapons some actual fricking range.

Game is 95% the same as it was on release, in Feb 2021. This is why early access is shit.
>The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering is a book on software engineering and project management by Fred Brooks first published in 1975
>Its central theme is that "adding manpower to a late software project makes it later." This idea is known as Brooks's law
>This is because the time required for the new programmers to learn about the project and the increased communication overhead will consume an ever-increasing quantity of the calendar time available
You got massive value for your $20. That it sold well doesn't mean they owe you scaling up their operation.
>The first point is to note that Brooks's law only applies to projects that are already late
Wowie zowie your fifty year old citation is meaningless in this context, well done. Or you're saying Valheim was late from the gate.
>This is because the time required for the new programmers to learn about the project and the increased communication overhead will consume an ever-increasing quantity of the calendar time available
This is the description of the problem. Tell me: what does lateness have to do with this? Could it be that the only relevance of a project being late is that it creates the desire to add more people to the team?
It's cute that you found some random quote (Brooks did not describe it as "Brook's Law" ergo he did not write 'that Brooks's law only applies to projects that are already late') but you need to have some basic analytical skills, Anon.
The quote is from a pioneer in project management from 1999 who found adding new developers to a cycle that is not currently late almost always has enough schedule to absorb them. You do realize Brooks himself, in the very book you quoted, describes his law as an oversimplification? You can personally attack me all you want but we both know you were born in 2001 and skim read cliff note quotes of the The Mythical Man-Month to try and be smart.
>You do realize Brooks himself, in the very book you quoted, describes his law as an oversimplification?
Oh, you mean it's more nuanced? That the concept of expanding a development team being maybe not worth it depends on context? Gee, you might actually be finally understanding the point - why Brooks' Law gets cited more generally than the exact scenario he described and had experience with. Books and laws like these use specific examples to describe broader concepts that you take with you and apply as appropriate elsewhere.
>skim read cliff note quotes
>he says as he regurgitates the wikipedia article
Accuse others of that which you are guilty, eh?
The next sentence after your quote is
>It is also important to determine if the project is really late, or if the schedule was originally overly optimistic.
>take an entire year to implement basic furniture and a handful of enemies
Did you miss the frickton of technical issues that they fixed?
I certainly didn't miss their repeated road map deadlines that got pushed or missed saying, "haha whoops the game is just so darn popular!". But hey at least we got Steam Deck support :^)
They made 1 (one) roadmap, realized they couldn't do it, and abandoned promising dates.
>don't expand development team with explosive growth
That was a very smart decision. They probably made enough to live the rest of their lives on those profits if they're smart. Wasting it all expanding the company when there's no guarantee they have any future income aside from the long tail of sales for the game would've been extremely stupid.
I don't like that the game is practically abandoned though.
You must be a homosexual because it’s game made specifically for homos.
it drops off hard after the swamp, the snow sections are boring as are the plains, its the first 3 biomes that are decent
forgot to add
the entire need of massive amounts of bronze/copper late into the game is the most moronic shit
>need of massive amounts of bronze/copper late into the game
wut
He meant to say
>I need massive amounts of semen late at night
He just mistyped everything. He’s probably trans too if they matters
schizo?
If exploration is what does it for you, you should install this
https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/1739
and make yourself actually explore.
seems like you'll just end up carrying materials to plonk down the table wherever and it'll be massively tedious
Maybe don't do that, then? The point is that you don't get to have the map open while navigating. You need to understand where you are and where you're going.
The game is enjoyable but I'm disappointed in the slow pace of updates. Right now it seems like the devs can barely manage a small update per year. It really sucks because the game's biggest problem is the lack of content variety. It would be nice to see them finish the rest of the biomes but each biome needs more variety.
its comfy as hell stalking deer and getting good with the bow when you just start out
then i gotta go battle a bunch of goblins and upgrade my shit, then 'the forest starts moving' and i rage quit
its probably more fun with friends
Bow is great on this one. I can waste hours shooting then zeroing then shooting then zeroing then shooting then
>then zeroing
It's called aiming.
So did they finally complete the mistland biome? When I reached it and the game didn't get updated for months I felt like I got scammed.
No.
They added a little more content to Mountains and Plains. The placeholder webbed trees in Mistlands was scrapped and theyre making a replacement. No telling how much longer but they posted devshots of new structures in the biome with new vegetation.
They said they're hoping by the end of 2022 which means mid-2023, March at the earliest.
one year per update so the game will be finished in like 2028
>nearly 2 years to do one (1) biome
holy lol
I'd love to work there. You probably don't even need to show them any progress by the end of the day, let alone finish anything by the end of the month!
I played unifinished version for like 100 hours. Yeah, its great. I'll get back to it after they finish it.
I still enjoy it as a zen game. The meadows are especially peaceful and comfy.
I wish they had done like a proper building update. They're still missing so many basic block variants that the building is kinda meh.
Where is the myst land update? I'm craving another run with my mates, and I don't know how long these gays have interest with v rising (I got it gifted from them).
Cringe game tbh.
They put some work on the first biome and everything after that is just bland formulaic boredom. Also, devs sold theirselves to the devil with the name of Cumstain Publishings and that's why they sold well. And that's also why the game is so low effort because it's not really theirs anymore but they made bank and that's what matters. Since they lost their soul to the devil that's why they make souless biomes like bland plains, ugly as pissfrick swamps and the incoming (anytime now) piss shit ugly Mistlands full of insects.
Now watch Valheimlets seethe.
Go have a look at what Cumstain has published and developed. You will immediately learn that the publisher had nothing to do with the massive success. It went viral, it was the flavor of the month.
Updates take too fricking long. Holy shit.
At least we got some pride banners :^)
