Kickstarter auto-sends an email whenever I update the Kickstarter page. You need to change your Kickstarter mail settings. I am not intentionally sending any email.

Ah that would make more sense then because I was wondering why you'd send me one picture with no other text lol

I apologize for so much green text in a thread already swamped in it but lets demonstrate that this community is not full of sexual predators please. Harassment and generally inappropriate attitudes should not be present here or in any other areas of the forum.

Can it walk?

It should be able to walk around and do stuff.

The one thing I really dislike about this game is the tools that give everyone the ability to completely bot the game with their powerful scripting system. The imaginary botting problem here will be nothing compared to the actual botting in this game.

I tried to give it a fair shot with looking stuff up and its interesting. I don't see it getting very big. Seems like they made the engine like minecraft where people can make their own worlds. I think someone else is going to come along and do something awesome with it.

With the ease of botting the game I think it can focus on evolving in other directions instead.

I will definitely keep my eyes on this project just to see what happens to it, although I will most likely never play it myself.

'Botting' in Topia is far different than other games. In reality, players will be creating 'NPCs' which provide unique services. Automated characters allow a living breathing world where things are constantly happening, even while players are logged off. I think you guys underestimate the capabilities of a scripted world that is built by players. This game doesn't have skill-grinding or the such, so people are going to create interesting content instead.

So basically this is a nice way of saying you will rely heavily on bots to make the game less grindy and make it look active.

Everyone enters the world with a character that doesn't develop with skills and stats?

This is kinda like MMO minecraft/Ultima player shards.

It will be really interesting to see what people will make.

It looks interesting - considering that H&H the RTS was something I always kindof wanted, I would probably love this
