User blog:CaptainStarbuck/He's Baaaaack!

As noted in a recent blog, I took a little break from this wiki and went on a little trip with "da wife". I was still playing the game but not as aggressively as before. Well, I'm back. Did ya miss me? Hmmm... Thought not...

As the game grows it becomes more difficult to play AND to document notes in the wiki. Viktor, the developer, makes a lot of changes. There's more to do as the game matures. As a Beta tester, I am obligated (listen up Betas...) to keep re-playing in areas where I've already been, just to see if anything has changed. I try new features and report my experience back to Viktor. I try to do weird things just to break the game, and I report anything I find. Viktor makes changes, asks if things are better, I respond, and we move forward. This is the process for all Beta users, to help the developer to provide a much better Production release, less frequent than Beta but more stable and refined. Anyway, it's tough for me to do that AND write in this wiki, while still managing other life responsibilities ... but I'm doing what I can! And contributing to this wiki is fun. So I do it gladly.

Viktor is a very thoughtful and caring developer. He wants everyone to be happy and have fun. He wants people to see new things in the game and he's very careful about messing things up. See my previous notes about Balance. He feels the pain when people complain about not having enough inventory space. He's trying different ways to allow people to get more space, though he needs to balance that with the concept that donations for the game are rewarded with more space. I mean, what do people get in return for their donations if free-to-play users get all features for free? Yeah, there are different answers to that question. He's trying to work that out while still providing us with a fun game, error free, with ongoing expansions ... and while he's working at a full-time job. Hey, he's doing what he can!

Anyway, I added a To Do page to the wiki with notes about how you can help to guide the content here. The Blacksmith page has been updated with notes about the second Blacksmith, Lucky Chests, and other details. Please do comment on pages, and feel free to post a note in the wiki forum or in the Facebook community page.

Happy Moonshading!
