Having read the suggestions in the post, I think that having an in-game compass would be a nice addition to PSUnreal. I know they were none too common in the middle ages, but I'd guess a magic contraption that can point you either rim-ward or hub-ward (e.g. via some magic attraction force that makes the needle always point at the direction of the crystal) would not be out of place in Yliakum, and would quite serve the role of a compass in a ring-like world.

I do understand that such a thing would not be so IG useful most days in the Dome, where you can just turn to face the crystal, but the lower levels would greatly covet such an invention, and it would still be helpful during foggy days even in the Dome, or in the dark underground places that abound.

Uadjet says: I don't recall: Do private books have an edit button for someone else?
Migg says: Yes they do

I just realized Uadjet's question was about private books, and hence my reply was wrong. To set the record straight, private books don't offer an edit button to anyone but the character who wrote the book. Public books on the other hand do, and that is why they are public: they offer anyone the option to write in them.

That is also the issue: for the author both public and private books offer an edit button, and no hint about which is which (public and private is only mentioned in the book's title when purchased from Jayose, and this information is lost as soon as the book is renamed). So only another character who is not the author, when given the books, can tell which one is public and which is private.

Excuse me, that is called fly-fishing and it's a very fine art.

Indeed it is, but the way I understand it, you have to cast your line, then pull in the slack as it gets carried by the river, trying to lure a fish before you recast again. Something tells me that if you were to constantly cast, never letting the line rest, no fish would ever take your bait. The animation needs more variety to become more believable.

Icons have a pretty descriptive name, if only we could search for them then finding the right item would become easier. I imagine a textbox above the icon list that, when empty, would allow the icon list to work the same way it does now, showing all icons. But start typing, and only icons with the (case insensitive) text as part of their name will be shown.

That said, this requires some development effort, so seems like an item to be relegated to PS Unreal. I have no familiarity with the interface we will have there, so this may not be relevant, if it is however I would like to see it implemented some time, and not only for shortcut icons (storage comes to mind )

That is an amazing screenshot, being able to see the whole of Hydlaa at once is awesome! The greatest thing about PS Unreal is the unified map, gives you both a sense of perspective and helps you appreciate how large the terrain really is! Can't wait to check this out, thanks for the great work!

The festival was a smashing hit, and the High Striker was there among the games! I only brought the one game, but there were other games as well to amuse the participants.


The contraption was set up with Uadjet's help, who has a knack at finding the proper materials to fit any construction goal. All in all, it turned up quite realistic and it was fun to set up and a joy to behold (at least to me!)


The game was a success, and I believe players liked it. Taking a screenshot of the hammer striking however was not a smaller feat than beating the game itself! After many attempts however, I managed to snap the perfect action shot!


The High Striker proved hard to beat, but Dentritus the kran and Rorain the Ynnwn managed to launch the puck all the way up to 10 and ring the bell, in no way a small feat that allowed them to claim an adorned crate as their prize!

I certainly had fun at the Imperial Festival, and I hope everyone else had as much funn as I did. I am looking forward to another festival next cycle, but will be looking to bring the High Striker to any other event if I get the chance to do so.

Cool!    Can't wait to attend, festivals are always great fun! Hope to see everyone there!
