The first thoughts when I picked up a chisel in-game was "Oh wow! Finally . .. I could make so many things now! Better windows, cooler door frames, cute little statues, why, I could even make- "
Then a cartoonish evil grin slowly spread across my face, as I grabbed some oak planks and made my first chiseled sculpture
Rule 5 of the forum rules states:
My first ever chiseled creation tragically falls in with Rule 5, so this is where I will end this conversation
My friends all loved it tho, and we hung it on the wall in our house above the fireplace for the rest of that playthrough. I haven't touched that world since 1.16; I wonder if I can load it in 1.21
sib DM that to MEEE lol I need inspiration

this server has shut down! but you can join our new 1.21x Redux server:
-
Join us at Blissey Onsen to get here two weeks before we tackle the Resonance Archives Together!
We are a LGBTQ+ & Allies Community that is truly accepting, regardless of who you are, POC, Neurodivergent, Disabled, International, New to gaming, etc. We are a roleplay encouraged server.Backstory:
The settlement in the Continent Hedonia slowly built a settlement from Seraph stragglers popping back into existence after the Incident of Jonas Falx's Great Machine. Being cast out of time, and thrust back into this harsh world, we fought through with industry and perseverance to create our own village. Together, we sought out a sense of community, and answers to our existence. Our collective goal became clear: we needed to seek out answers and knowledge to understand and better ourselves.It only took a few months of exploring and discussing with human survivors to learn we Seraphs were once human, altered by Jonas Falx's Salvation Engine, a made from the same chaotic technology that is thought to have brought the Rust to this world, in a desperate attempt to wipe the Rot out. People nearby were warped out of time, and time being altered was what removed the rot- not truly cleansing it but changing time. This was done with understanding Temporal Stability, and as we have experienced first hand, being unstable brings you closer to that other Dimension- what we call the "Rust World".
There are many remnants of what occurred when the Rot first spread, humanity as a whole here withdrawing underground to escape it's hellish grasp on the flesh, and the days following underground building that Great Machine. We came to realize we were thrust back into this world in this location because these events happened nearby. Ruins to underground bunkers and makeshift cavern towns could be found across the lands we found ourselves in, and humans here have oral tales and old scrolls, books and artifacts from those events. One, a treasure hunter, told us they had a map to one such underground fortress, possibly the largest of its kind: The Resonance Archives. For us, and people caught up in this world torn from the possibility of civilization, he wanted proper, newly smithed tools in exchange for this knowledge. Finding simple, proper equipment for rebuilding is scarce among these lands. Our local smith crafted tools and came to him personally to exchange for this map, and once brought back to our village, we made a plan to travel to and excavate these ruins as a community of Seraphs. Alchemists, tailors, warriors, metalworkers and skilled Seraphs alike came together to equip us for the worst. Tinkerers and scholars studying Temporal Stability and the Rot and Rust entities calculated for the worst of creations in this abyssal library. We sent a scout ahead to make a makeshift path for us and survey the area outside and immediately inside the entrance.
When our scout came back, it was reported that the entrance was clear, but the actual ruins lay below a profound depth not visible from the shallow entrance to it's decent. We planned to leave together to excavate at dawn.
Our rules are:
- No Grieving (Buildings, Domesticated Animals, Etc.)
- No stealing
- Bad faith, rude gameplay, or malicious/annoying behavior will be handled at moderator discretion even if it's not implicitly stated in the rules.
- Do not share our IP to people outside the discord server. This includes your own children, if they are not old enough to join our server they are not 18+
- PvP consent only
- No cheats/cheat mods (in game replicatable glitches okay)
- Wait for events to do Story Locations (ok to solo after we do them at least once)
- Roleplay is encouraged but not necessary
- TOS for discord/this server applies for in-game chat, (including respecting people's pronouns.)
- When Knapster is added it will be whitelist only, please only request if you need it for accessibility for a disability/low manual dexterity/pain management.###

Updated Modlist, must update file

They stated that they’re looking into separating their projects out into different websites/forums in the dev update! Also, we’ve already seen some of the promised cross-benefits from that project; blockbench is pretty great, so being able to use it for VS modding is a boon to both mod and official development.
Absolutely! And, (the nature of this thread being a criticism, there are so def positives) I don't want to overlook that. That's awesome and I wish the best for the project.
I'm just starting to get like a smash bros feeling, if you notice there's an Easter egg gif at the bottom hidden in the like button bar. We see a creature from that universe here. The more they start to mix that universe with this one, I'm just personally going to be a touch annoyed. I realllllly like VS and it's feel, and I don't want to start to see a growing amount of advertisement or media from Glint when I'm looking at VS content or software.
I think it's totally cool to mention your other projects or even hide Easter eggs in a VS development update, that's really neat. I just think, the more Glint becomes its own thing, it should uh, become it's own thing. Like, own website, own news updates.
Now again I don't think it's going to hurt vs development anymore, it's now more, please keep your fantasy RPG game seperate from VS in the future. Please, like do what Mojang did and just mention it in the client on startup somewhere for awhile and phase it out or something. Or small additions to vs updates or seperate news updates altogether. Not like, 70% of a forum body that's literally a major future update for VS ahhhhh
This is why people were upset before because it gives off optics. Idk what optics but it's odd ones to a lot of people, for me I'm not so intense as some, but I do think it could be delivered better.
Imagine if the VS update was mostly that, and they vaguely updated us in Glint, and we had to look for that little guy. It would be so much betterrrr
GOOD TO HEAR!!! I'm excited to see the new website. Now someone hurry up and get hired and teach em how to do a cliffhanger!!!
I do realize there are some constraints before the website opens but pleeeease just post it as it is. "Development update", bruh just name it what it is! It's a Adventure Mode update that was put on the bottom of a dev update for VS.

Y'all I was right look at the newest News post it's literally a post that's supposed to be a VS update but over half the post is just an ad for "Project Glint" aka adventure mode
I told you we're going to see constant ads about this other game that failed and they literally disabled comments upon posting. And it will likely nooooooot be seeing a separate launcher I feel for this but that's an opinion.
Even so I reeeeaaaally wish they'd just start seperating the two. Especially with codenames... Bruh who are you & why did your game fail/get sold to riotttt I swear if one of them is the original Twitter poster dev I talked about imma implode lol (probs not but likely highly related to Simon)
Still pinned at the top btw

Blissey Onsen, a (18+) discord community for LGBTQ+, Allies, BIPOC, Neurodivergent & Disability Community, has officially launched our new 1.21 Vintage Story Server. Join us at discord.gg/blisseyonsen to play on our servers. Events, server updates, roleplay & PVE/PVP coordination via our discord.
Mods are now being added to our Vintage Story server! List of mods selected by our community currently installed below. Our rules are rather simple, Roleplay Encouraged, no stealing/grieving, no killing domesticated animals other players own, wait for events to do story locations that are PVE, (we have not done resonance archives yet but will within the next two weeks together as a group), ask people what their PVP preference is before engaging others in PVP.
When you first join, be sure to DM me @cosmobeau on discord so I can send you over the IP. Our channel #server-info will have our password, we change it every month or so, so if you're looking for our updated password it will be there every time it changes. We also have a game server channel and roleplay forum on our discord as well, people share their progress, builds, rp stories, and collab there often.
Our IP is universal across servers. Once you have our IP to one server, you have it for any game we host. Minecraft is whitelist only, all servers if you are outside the U.S. we will have to whitelist you by IP (also universal across all our servers.)
These servers are specifically hosted for our discord community. We wanted a space that was inclusive of everyone, so people can kick back and connect to a game without worrying about bigotry or ignorance surrounding who they are, no matter how different or unique you happen to be. That is why we only allow people who verify and stay in the server into our game servers. If you leave, you will not be able to see server updates, password changes, events or polls (for things like mods/plugins).
Once you join, DM me for the IP.

"Purely hypothetical" and "could spin it off," don't read like stated goals to me. They're possibilities that Tyron was excited about when he wrote them. If it were a stated goal, he'd say, "Assuming it takes off, we will spin it..." This seems particularly important because you're hanging a lot of criticism off of a statement that has no commitment in it at all.
No, I understand the distinction you're making, or I think I do.
There's a lot of room to argue about what counts as an entirely new game and what qualifies as a new mode of this highly customizable game. My guess is that the first iterations of Adventure Mode will be a new texture pack and one or two new bits of gameplay, and new features will be added over time. When it has expanded closer to whatever vision Tyron has for it, that will be the time to evaluate whether it should spin off or stay as a mode. I think the decision point will come in future years.
It might end up being a bad way to build hype for a different experience on this game engine. OTOH, Hytale died in part because the team was working in a proverbial cave for a lifetime measured in game development years. If it's a game mode, fewer things have to change before it can be put in front of players. It doesn't NEED to be a completely different game for people to play it, even if it might eventually become so. Also, VS has grown its customer base largely by word-of-mouth, so if some existing VS players like the new mode, they can talk to their friends about it.
Who knows?
Personally, if under a tab called "The Goal," and at the end they are saying making it it's own game if it does well, I'm going to assume that's the goal. Especially since it will be "departing significantly in aesthetics, setting and game mechanics compared to Vintage Story. More focused towards fantasy and adventure/rpg-y compared to the gritty, realism based nature of the current experience." That sure does sound a completely different game to me, not just a mini game/brawler/mini matchmake/side game mode. That's why the whole announcement came off as confusing to a lot of people.
I'm assuming that it is their end goal because it's under the goal, and they say if it's successful it will be it's own game. I imagine they are hoping it is successful, and plan on it being successful, ya?
The fact that it will only be fleshed out into a full game if it's successful does sound like potential failed early access game language. I do like VS/Angeo a lot, but I've lived through plenty of announcements like these.

Do you have a quote from Tyron that said it's definitely the goal to make it its own game? My memory is that he threw it out as a possibility. That's far from a stated goal.
It's possible that he did say that it was a goal. I'd have to sift through his statements. But I think the distinction is important.
There isn't any flip-flopping because nothing has been committed to yet -- just some brainstorming that Tyron apparently shouldn't have shared with players so early in the process. The only thing I recall Tyron saying is that IF it looks like should be its own game, existing players of VS would get free licenses.
I guess I don't understand why a deviation from lore is such a concern. The rust world lore only applies to default survival mode. It's hard to deviate further from lore than existing modes have already done. We already have a Homo Sapiens mode that is totally different lore -- instead of playing as a Seraph in a post-apocalyptic eldrich-horror world, you're playing as a Human in the dawn of tool use. What makes fantasy adventure so much more of a jump?
Honestly, this is the part that confuses me most. Why would this be a negative? You start a game in Adventure Mode, which will have a clear text description like the other modes. You see that it's more brightly colored and has magic and quests or whatever. Isn't that awesome? I think it's awesome. If I don't want to play like that, I just go back and make a world in default survival. We didn't lose eldrich horror.
"The Goal
The new mode would be departing significantly in aesthetics, setting and game mechanics compared to Vintage Story. More focused towards fantasy and adventure/rpg-y compared to the gritty, realism based nature of the current experience. Personally, I would love to see some Elves and Dwarves in there
For the time being it would ship alongside Vintage Story at no additional cost but in the purely hypothetical scenario where it really takes off we could spin it off into a fully separate game”. -Tyron
Meaning his stated goal is to make it it's own game. As he titled it.
People are also confusing my personal preference for wanting a shortcut to launch directly into THAT game and not other games. with thinking having two games for the price of one is bad.
Of course having more games is good. If you read over my concerns, it's not about getting more games, it's about keeping seperate games actually seperate for the good of both games. Likely if it becomes a mode, it will only show up on world creation screen which is a little hidden and not the best way to build hype for a game.

I think it's worth keeping in mind that Tyron listed a bunch of possibilities, not concrete plans.
At the very beginning, it's probably going to be a game mode in VS like Homo Sapiens or Exploration. Depending on how the project goes, it MIGHT become its own game. It MIGHT stay a game mode of VS.
It's also not going to use Hytale IP. It's intended to be a fantasy adventure mode/game that incorporates a lot of the ideas that Hytale was trying to realize. Tyron left Hypixel due to creative difference over Hytale. I'm going to make a wild guess that Adventure Mode will embody his creative vision for what Hytale could have been. With that in mind, if the Hytale project is revived, that doesn't necessarily affect what VS does at all -- the result were already going to be different.
The concrete things that were announced were that Anego was looking to hire some of the folks laid off from Hytale -- people Tyron may well have worked with in the past and holds in respect. The project will be fantasy adventure rather than gritty horror. Since at the time of the announcement, Anego hadn't even hired anyone, pretty much everything else is understandably going to evolve.
Tyron combatted two common questions about making this seperate from VS so we will VERY LIKELY see this implemented inside of VS. I do understand that they said might- but the goal is to make it it's own game if it's successful. Which means:
- They are picking up a failed game that they cannot make successful unless they reduce it down to a mode in an already existing game in development. Then, cross fingers that it will be successful enough to make it separate from VS.
- They are not building a good foundation for a successful game- they are putting it inside a completely different franchise. Regardless of what the project looks like, it will always be tied to VS while its inside of VS, and this will take away from the individuality of the game. Meaning, when you log into Minecraft or VS, that's what the visuals, HUD, everything is all about. A game deserves its own separate client, not just for immersion but for making that game concretely its own.
- Flip flopping between saying the goal is to make it it's own spin off game and calling it Vintage Story adventure mode makes no sense. Tyron told us this game is going to be completely different in feel, lore, gameplay and aesthetics. That means it is NOT CANNON VS LORE AND A SEPERATE UNIVERSE, Calling it Vintage Story Adventure Mode is confusing because it's *not* a story or adventure mode for VS, because this game has nothing to do with the Vintage Story Universe.
Imagine you just play the game and you're not a forum nerd, which is a majority of players. You see that there's a new adventure mode in Vintage Story, you get excited like it's a continuation of the gritty Eldritch lore in the Universe of VS, but when you load in you're in a completely different game, that looks nothing like VS, plays nothing like VS, and the lore has nothing to do with VS.
Are people picking up what I'm putting down yet? Lol

Here is what Tyron said
I do not have any reason to believe at this time that the 'mode' would not be any different from the game modes existing now as far as it relates to how to instantiate it.
Yeah it does suggest that you would select it much like you just select a game mode like homo sapiens on world creation menu, which is why I thought that specific decision sounded wank since they also say that the goal is to make it it's own game.
TBH I don't want a Angeo Launcher
I just wanna click my VS button and load the game, which is always an option even if they do have a launcher but some games like Civilization and Stellaris have annoying launcher you have to go through regardless. I think you can mess with some stuff w ur PC settings to change it but bruh who wants to do that.
It would be cool if they just made a website for it like they do with Vintage Story. This is my thing:
They want to revive this game and keep "it's dream alive" and the goal is to make it it's own separate game.
- Make a website like this one for the new game with a forum and integrated mod database. Not all at once obviously.
Why? Because look at how much activity Vintage Story gets because it has its own dedicated site, forum, and integrated mod DB. If you think VS deserves it, then this new game does too.
- On the website, include a client area
This way people can install the game, since it's not a mode, it's something they intend to be it's OWN GAME, completely different in genre, aesthetics, and gameplay. Belittling a game by calling it a mode is not the way you build hype for a game or lay out a good foundation for things like game specific mods, forums, wikis, gaming groups, server listings, etc.
- Modes in other games like Dwarf Fortress & modes in Sonic, Call of Duty, etc. still feel much like the same game, but a mini game or mini matchmake. They usually are in the same universe, have the same lore, same aesthetic (with maybe differences in POV or one shot collabs) It is confusing to people getting into your new game to call this a mode when clearly it's going to be a fully fleshed out completely different experience and not a mini game or a mode like Dwarf Fortress which is just fortress mode but one unit traveling around the world with very similar game logic.
Make your goal align with your beginning intentions and advertisement (not speaking business wise, but attracting a crowd). That's why I think this should be seperate and not built into VS.

Is the new release now stable enough to start a new world, or is it still unstable? I just saw this:
Can I start playing 1.21 now?
We are decently confident that your v1.20 or older worlds will not break. If you want to be on the safe side, wait until the stable release. (But we recommend now not continuing a world you created in any of the pre-releases of 1.21.)
We would highly recommend making a backup copy of your 1.20 worlds before upgrading the game to 1.21 - for example, although it has terrain smoothing, there is still a potential that the -rc.1 release will create chunk borders for some, due to changes in worldgen.-

Trying to steer the thread back on topic--I think this is a great point, and maybe one missed in the "About" section of the Vintage Story home page, or a point missed by many in the playerbase. It is early access, yes, but I'm not quite sure it's the conventional sense, as much as it is what you stated--it's an early version of a finished product, with planned expansions as work progresses(and you don't have to pay for the new content). It's not unheard of for games like this to operate like that--Minecraft did pretty much the same thing: offer an early version of the finished product, and then add more content over the life of the game.
Point being, they're both still technically early access, but it's two different "game plans" regarding such, so to speak. I'm not sure that Minecraft could have been successful if Notch had tried to build it all at once, instead of making a solid foundation and building off that over time. Same case with Vintage Story--the game needs time and resources to develop, and one way to get resources for such a large, ambitious project is to release a solid early foundation to build off of, and add to it. That also comes with the advantage of having player feedback earlier as well(both good and bad), so bugs can be rooted out more efficiently and gameplay can be balanced a little faster(how many times have chapter 2 challenges been adjusted from their original incarnations? It's been a few!)
While I don't agree with all of OP's initial remarks and sentiment, I can also understand why @cosmobeau and others might have a pretty heated kneejerk reaction to the news. The gaming industry isn't in good shape right now, for many reasons, and old titans are falling. Anego Studios isn't immune to making mistakes, certainly, but from what I've seen, Anego Studios has been making some great decisions and hasn't been making the mistakes that others have been, so I think Adventure Mode will turn out well as a result. I'll also note that Adventure Mode, while touted as a separate game(eventually, it may or may not begin life as an alternate mode for VS, similar to Homo Sapiens), is not the only game that Anego seems to be working on. I recall seeing a teaser for another game project in one of the News bits a while back(though I can't seem to find said teaser now
), that looked similar to Ty the Tasmanian Tiger and other oldschool adventure-platformers, so I would assume it's maybe something along those lines. Hard to say for sure, but in any case, Vintage Story is not the only thing that Anego Studios has cooking at the moment...it's just the game that everyone is most familiar with, for various reasons.
Yep, like I said they are currently already working on new games, and I'm stoked about that.
It was a heated take... And the original post will stay the way it is, just additions, out of respect for all the people who responded to or discussed under the context of the original post.
At this point I'm checking Riot & Hytale dev pages. I got RSS for vintage story updates already.
No hard feelings @Echo Weaver and I am happy that I was able to convince you that some of my concern at least makes some sense. Again, I have changed my mind a lot as well.
I have mentioned, to those late or who missed it, in 3 posts here why and what parts of my position has changed. Mostly as @Echo Weaver stated, a lot of confusion was around the announcement and what was said. Well put, and thanks for that context.

Be warned. This topic is at risk of being locked if emotions do not simmer back down and civil and reasonable discussion cannot be had. I see and appreciate the efforts of those who are trying to guide it back there so let this be a message to those who are not.
Thank you.Is there any possibility you could lock @Teo9631 out of this forum post specifically? They're kinda the source of them problem. They are talking about all kinds of hot button not related to this post topics including bringing Nazis into this, it's really just them stirring the pot to a degree where it's no longer appropriate. Everyone else has been *mostly civil* at the least, and just passionate at the most
Totally cool if this forum gets locked though, as well.

@Teo9631, I'll admit to being triggered. @Dark Thoughts was a little terse in his reply, true, but your first reply in the thread included,
Do you not understand that was much worse than what @Dark Thoughts said? The only plausibly problematic bit was "ignorant and uninformed", though that is true for literally everyone who is not in the Anego inner circle. Including me. Including you. He said he did not understand the outrage. Neither do I. I think that's probably because we are operating under a different set of assumptions than you are. We (or at least I) see the potential opportunity, you see only the potential failure.
I do kind of understand the sentiment. I've seen lots of people get their knickers in a bunch because they think the hoi polloi are stupid. Heavily skewed towards one ideological bent, which, I'd note, you seem to be. I'd agree that people as a group are not too bright, but no one knows his own interests like the man himself. I don't care if your IQ puts Einstein to shame, you cannot know what another person values. You cannot rationally say he should feel outrage at the same things you feel outrage about.
Bro I am begging you to stop replying to someone who clearly is a overly aggressive person
What is the point of arguing with people like that. Y'all aren't going anywhere with this. Ignore the trolls and move onnnnn, that's why I didn't reply to half the messages here anyway.

Yes. I just don't know how to talk to morons.
You're right. I have no patience for engaging with willful ignorance.
You've been dogpiled for pages, not because your concerns are invalid, but because you committed a heresy. You dared to question the tribe's leader.
What you've been subjected to isn't a discussion; it's primitive psychology. You're seeing the knee-jerk reaction of a tribe whose identity is so fused with the developer that they perceive any critique as a personal attack. Their arguments are not built on logic, but on a desperate need to defend their own judgment for being a "supporter."
My harshness was a direct response to that. When people refuse to engage with facts and resort to bad-faith, fanatical loyalty, they forfeit their right to a civil conversation. Respect is earned, and it is not owed to those who refuse to think.
They aren't morons, and this will be the one time you will see me use ad hom: YOU have a STUNTED emotional intelligence.
Labeling people you don't agree with as stupid, and attempting to psychoanalyze them is the most cringey behavior I've seen this month, and I'm online a lot.
I don't feel dogpiled. I have been online long enough and a few comments of people groaning because they love a game isn't "dogpiling."
You also engage in the emotionally unintelligent behavior of extreme exaggeration. These people are biased, not fanatical.
I am on the internet and TBH I am in real life and I think I can handle people have emotional opinions based off of their endearment to a hobby or game. It's called talking to human beings who have emotions and their own personal opinions. If you've been living for more than one day, you'd know that's a common, normal occurrence.
Non-psychological professionals using hot button psych terms they don't understand GRINDS MY GEARS like no one cares about your mental conspiracy theory.-
