Where does this crash happen exactly?

Oh, yes, it still is even though slowly. I just haven't gotten around to updating this page here (haven't posted the latest build that's long available on the main website).

Thank you so much, I hope you had a blast. This alpha doesn't contain much though so you probably won't be playing for too long :)

I'm glad to hear that. Thank you.

Thank you. That is very kind.

Thank you very much for this lengthy feedback. It has been really useful. I'm glad you like it and you played it for so long even though there's really no content just yet. But it's coming.

I agree, being able to name your characters is a must-add functionality. The sailing mechanic could use something to spice it up, true. Not sure about completely automating it though. I'll think about it. There will be a couple of towns and travel between those will take place automatically as long as there's a ship heading that way you could aboard. Sailing into the unknown can't work like that I think.

I have been struggling with the combat system and I agree, it's not the greatest yet but with some extra effort it could be pretty fun. I'll definitely incorporate it into the tutorial at some point.

There's little point sailing very far because the rest of the world has not been generated yet. I'm working on the algorithm right now actually.

Thanks again for the comment and hopefully some of these issues are no longer in the next build :)

Take care!

Right now there's only a few because I haven't worked out the algorithm to fill the rest of the world. But it's coming along. This isn't the world map though. I refer to it as overworld. Maps will be a bit different.

I'm just glad it's okay now :)

Win / OS X? Downloding from IndieDB or the direct download link?

Excellent, thank you!

I think I know what you mean :)

Thank you! The game pacing is quite relaxed indeed. The sound of wind in the trees and waves crushing and so on. I didn't design it that way, but I'm happy with how it turned out.

I went ahead and added that. I just thought I'd wait until there's actually something downloadable.

It should be available in a few days. I'm not doing the Linux version myself so I'm not fully aware of the details. Major distributions should be supported (Ubuntu, Debian, Mint), uncertain about Fedora/Redhat right now.

If you say so :)

Thank you. Yeah, that's just a button right now. Sorry :)

Yes, that is the plan :)

I've been in contact with my Linux maintainer and hopefully we'll get the new build out in a few days.

Thank you. I'm glad you like it.

Try focusing and refocusing the game window a couple of times. I think the framework I'm using has a prblem in there. Looking into it.

Thank you both :)

Yeah, I'm limiting myself to just four colors as I feel this creates a rather unique look and is a blast to work with. There are actually four four-color palettes, one for each season.

Hehee :D Yes, these are known problems in this build and have been worked out in the new version that's coming in a few days I hope. The game now clearly indicates when you find new land and where to head to see it. Previously the range was very small but if you (try to) go east from the town as straight as possible you're bound to find it (dist: ~11-12 nmi.). Thank you for the comments :)

Thanks guys! :)

I'm hoping to put the new build out next weekend. There are still a few things that need working out.

Oh indeed. For example the distance you're able to see depends on how high you are. From a low view point you're only able to see the edge of the cliff. This is actually what I'm working on right now.

That is very kind, thank you. Hopefully the final version will be better than you expect :)

That is actually planned, yup :)

The voting is over. Now what?

Thank you :)

Isn't there a red download button? Hmm, strange. Then you can download it directly from the game's website here: Eigen.pri.ee

The link is also in the Profile section in the top-right corner of this page.

Please see this forum thread for solution: Eigen.pri.ee

Thanks for the report. This issue has already come up and I'm trying to figure out the cause. Please check out this topic: Eigen.pri.ee and tell me if you see a similar thing. Also let me know what graphics card / chip you have. I posted a test build there so if you please have a moment try it out and tell me what you see in the main menu.

Thanks to all the awesome people who voted for Pioneers. Thank you so much! I love you! It's great to be one of the few "pixely" games in the bunch.
