[QUOTE=Lemonaids;35392907]Is the Demo version the same as the version if you paid for it ?[/QUOTE]
Yes with a time limit.
I'm struggling to decide if it's worth buying this alpha. I want to buy it before it goes full version but I don't know how long I've got until that happens. And I mean, will I be playing it for that long? I don't really have time to dedicate to it right now. It does seem like an awful lot of money for something with such little features yet. It's a shame I missed the IndieRoyale bundle. I mean like the reason so many people funded Minecraft's alpha was because they loved making shit in it, you can't really say the same for this.
After looking at my checkout for gamersgate for about half an hour, I'm going to have to say a big fat no. It's a shame because I think, if they don't get enough alpha funding it might just be another Cortex Command where it never gets finished.
Hit a bug. My townsfolk are constantly eating, they eat til there's nothing left and then they get hunger locked...
I'm taking it there's no way out of this hunger locked thing? I made my villagers all set their priorities to harvesting apple trees but before they can get there they've been all slowy starving to death.
If everyone is hunger locked, there is nothing you can do. However I believe the lock is being removed with the next patch

It is. Hunger will just slow down citizens and what not.

I have it bought it when it was on sale because it was alpha, tried to play but i'm not very good, so I'll probably just wait til I get a good update I like and start playing again
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;40251666]Does anyone still play this game?[/QUOTE]
I purchased it during the sale when it first got greenlit, only recently started to play it.
It's not bad, I just downloaded a few mods that add a lot more things to craft and another one that adds heaps more priorities and jobs to the list, so you can define groups better. (it breaks down mining/digging into seperate priorites and a lot more)
Has this game become playable yet? Last time I heard the huge amounts of bugs and glitches made it unplayable.
I still play just not recently. I love the game.
This game just needs more content and interactivity and it would be good
