Mythruna

npc question time  :D
will human npcs get angry if avian players mess around on their roofs and fly all over their roof tops?

I hope so. I want to fly away as angry NPC's wave brooms around yelling at me. :D

I think NPCs would get upset with players messing around on their roof (if they noticed) regardless of race.  How they got up there is beside the point.

If there was a person crawling around on your roof right now, you'd probably call the police.

This is sorta related, but will there be light weight "stealth gear"? That makes you quieter so people don't notice you as easily? Or could you make an "invisibility suit"?
I love the idea of breaking into people's homes so.... *innocent grin*

There must be something or being a thief/assassin would be pretty lame.

would race affect what random odd jobs human towns give you like:
deliver letter for avian or fix my furniture for simian?

Maybe.  It's more likely to be based on how the NPC feels about you, though.

What would be the process for a avian player to join an avian tribe?

please answer the question above

Cool your jets just a bit.  I occasionally step away from the computer for minutes at a time to eat and/or remind my family what I look like.

It may not be possible.  It would depend on a specific set of circumstances that a) I'm not sure I will be able to make work, and b) wouldn't be any fun if I told you.

We're talking about a people who excommunicate their own family/tribesmen when they are wounded enough that they can no longer fly.

They only rarely interact with and occasionally mate with other avian tribes.  You'd have to find the exact right situation and be in the right place at the right time.

ok what would be the process for a reptilian player to join a reptilian tribe?

I guess we'll have to see.

How much can players integrate with npc society?
Example work stay in inn constantly save money for new equipment

I think so... but how boring. :)

That's the last question I will answer on these topics tonight because I have other Mythruna work to do and it's becoming a little tedious.

k sorry




although i will have more questions for you tomorrow muhahahahaha  :P

if you get enough npcs to like you can you start your own npc village?

This question was already answered.  Read about the property system and I'm pretty sure it was eventually covered in that thread.

can you lie to an npc about another npc to get them angry at each other so you can watch them kill each other?  :P

Probably not.  That would require an AI advanced enough to understand what you tell them.

You can do it  ::)

i just thought of this recently will npcs get angry if you build your house in their town?
example building on an empty lot at the end of a dead end road

I think if you read the post on the property system it mentions that you can't build in a town unless you somehow get a plot, ie: a small area to build.

if npcs find a body of a npc the player killed would they be able to figure out that the player did it? (assuming no npc saw the initial murder)

Generally, no.  Some might know if they see you after.

could a player make a city with 2 really contrasting races of npcs in it?
example having both a lot of reptilian and avian outcasts in it?

I don't think a play could just bring some other race into a society and make it thrive into 50/50 race/race thing. It would naturally have to be like that.

Probably not.

what would happen if you did? :P

what would be the process for a reptilian player to join a reptilian tribe?

when the town is added aside from buying and guilds what will the player be able to do in towns?

will players be able to create their own little entourages of npcs who like them?

will you be able to steal from npcs?

will there be npc thieves guilds? (for large cities only)
and if the former is true do you need a fence to sell stolen goods?

All of the above aren't planned because we really aren't at that point yet.

Yeah. I'd say NO to the last one, cus how would someone know if you stole it or not? I mean if it's a specific sword with a name, sure, you'd have to fence it... if it's a bunch of bread, who would know? Or a broom, :|.... pesky guards always got me for that... Now, time to enjoy my sweet- GUARDS! MY SWEET RAWR WAS STOLEN AGAIN!!!!

To all of these questions: you will have to wait and see.

speaking of waiting hows next update progress coming along?

When he has it out..

To this answer: STOP RESPONDING TO US! Just close that web browser and pretend you don't have a website :3... Then when you get dat release dun, you gunna cum beck and share it wit den nice falks buck har, ya see?

Um.. Teknonick, please use proper English because you spelled a word that you most likely didn't mean to. It isn't an appropriate word.

Yeesh yolp har nya uah hain.

How would you know?

Sometimes dirty is in the eye of the beholder.

Hahaha. That made me chuckle.

sorry about asking pspeed soooooo many questions

by the way if you have a cool weapon design idea i made a thread for posting a description of their design(and pspeed said you can make custom weapons so I'm not speculating anymore)

He said if he gets his way, you will be able to make custom weapons. Nothing can be set in stone though until it is actually done.

when i play skyrim a question keeps on popping into my mind about mythruna if you walk into npcs faces and get up in there face will they get annoyed with you?
example skyrim i walk into an npcs face and they go 'huh' and back up

Try shouting xD That's awesome xD... except when you're full of loot and overweight and need it to get to a shop to sell stuff.... THAT, was NOT worth the weight!

will npcs be able to breed to make more npcs?
also if a player and an npc are the same race can they breed to make more npcs as well?

I must admit, that is a very odd question...

we would all have to admit that.
Maybe we could have it as it to be possible, but without getting to far into the "actions" but have the NPC's be sterile against all races but their own? Or have them sterile overall! xD

lol would the player be able to make their npc children do chores?  :P

I'd hope so! Maybe it could be like the family mod for MC? But OFC different.... They also have it so you can marry them off to other families too! It's really neat, but a bit buggy with the chores....

do npcs age and die?

if so is the player immortal?  :P

Sure!

No :P

I'd hope that if you played for 30 IG years your character would die.... I realise dwarves and elves live MUCH longer than the other races, but they didn't have as good as medicine as we do now, so they would only live as long as humans did... if they didn't treat themselves, or had food.

ANYWAY, my responces are my own opinion, I don't really know. And remember, our characters are gods coming down in a mortal form. We can respawn even! Hmm, that would be interesting... PAUL! Add in Player-NPCS. NPCS that act like Players (Runnin' aroun' and buildn' houses and having the same strength/powers as a player would) would awesome! AND THEY CAN RESPAWN! AWE YEAH! Herobrine and Brinehero as two names, +10,000 Karma points for that Paul, 10,000 points....

The plan is for players to age but at a common rate that is not based on their race.  a) you will age more slowly.  b) you only age when you are playing anyway... so in multiplayer or in single player played  by multiple characters, your calendar time life could be even longer.

Player-characters are also likely sterile since they are not really from the world and not _really_ a normal member of the race.

I knew that at least one race would end up being sterile..

None of the races are sterile.  How would they reproduce?

He mean's the player equivalent races.

I include the Player as a race :P

That's what I meant. But you can be multiple races as a human, AKA, the equivalent races.

will their be random npc encounters in town?
examples thief trying to steal from you, drunken gathering or angry mob

I think that is a little far-fetched...

Could be implemented as small, random quests you get at a random point after a certain level.

not based on level i think it should be based on the town, he people in the town and the players skills (besides no levels remember)

Yeah. Towns closer to spawn should be easier. The more you explore the harder the world gets :3

I don't think you level up in Mythruna, like how you don't level up in Monster Hunter.

You don't level up in Mythruna. Paul's said so like 50 times already. :3

The player race is not sterile in their own land, I guess.  Only when they pretend to be another race.

Ok it is settled, no Cross-breeding.

do npcs get pregnant or does the child npc just spawn after procreation?

I'm going to say it as it is, the game hasn't got that far in development, the roadmap is still in development, and you ask as many questions as I did when I first joined xD

Heheh.  I do feel a little like we are concerning ourselves with the orientation of the deck chairs before the ship's plans are even finalized. ;)

:3
So when the ship finally lifts of that is equivalent to alpha?

"Don't think of where the boat should go before it floats".

sorry for asking a lot of questions about far off stuff so here is one on a closer topic how many updates and months away is the survival and combat update?

I don't know.  And it largely depends on how my wife's brain surgery goes, anyway.

PAUL, I hope your wife is okay :'( let's all hold hands and pray..


No pun intended, Paul, I hope this helps.

Whew, this is risky business. Tumors can be annoying.

Yes, especially the Arnold Schwarzenegger "I'll be back" kind.

So, its not a tumor? That is a hell of a risk for a VR mod for Mythruna Paul. I got my fingers crossed for her.

how long do you think it will take for her to recover? (sorry for impatient tone)

It is a tumor.  The stuff that was left after last time grew again into a marble-sized tumor.

I don't know.  We have to travel down to another state for the surgery when they finally schedule it.  We'll be down there for at least a week.

We had a dog with 5-8 inch tumors on his belly. Nothing life threatening though. But, if it's inside the head, that's threatening.

The answer is 5 months 4 weeks. right? what state are you going too?

North Carolina.  Duke University has like the best brain cancer stuff in the country or something.

does that mean your talking to us via labtop?

I don't think Paul uses a laptop... He doesn't seem like the laptop kind of guy. But if he were going to have a laptop, I'd imagine him with the suitcase sized ones.

I have a laptop for work.  It's pretty beefy.

does that mean he can work on mythruna while traveling?

"Work" Doesn't mean "Mythruna".

Well, at least not yet.

I could work on Mythruna while I'm away but that doesn't mean I will have time.  After all, I'll have two kids with me and a wife in the hospital.  I will try to keep up on the forums, e-mail, etc... have remote access to the server, and so on.

...usually, I spend my free time being exhausted on these trips.

k sorry

I sincerely hope everything goes OK, Paul.

so hows her recovery going?

She hasn't had the surgery yet.  That's next week.

I felt embarrassed reading this. Hehe

Well, I'll be praying, too. Brain surgery has to be tough to go through. :-\

Last time they woke her up for part of it so they could be sure they weren't messing with the wrong parts of her brain.  I can think of few things quite as terrifying as being awake for your own brain surgery.
