The most confusing VR game I have ever played - A Township Tale

[@LAKster]

That kid being genuinely helpfull instead of a little screeching gremlin shows how much small, kind game communities can shape the way someone acts. Fucking wholesome as fuck. 10/10

[@lastwymsi]

Quest 2 version is just gremlins :( I didnt have a way to play PC VR and bought it on the quest store. Had to force turn off every voice feature after an hour. Power tripping child moderators exist as well because quest just has private lobbies. I love the game as a concept and even playing it, but man I wish all the children were like the one here.

[@starofaetherius]

@@ssd3303 its possible they had a bad experience, chose the wrong server, or chose the wrong time to play on. Seems a little rude to just out and call someone a liar for sharing their personal experience. Like, not that the web isnt full of liars, but just going "not true" is super not condusive to good conversation.

[@kinnarawanderer]

@lastwymsi1660 Yea that was about my experience too- I bounced it back and got a different game after about 45 minutes- but still maintain it looks like a super cool lil mmo

[@ledumpsterfire6474]

Then there was my little "clan" when I was 10-13, made up of 15-17 year olds aside from me, mostly playing Entmod in Sven-Coop.. Definitely more along the gremlin side of things. Someone would join our server and the text and voice chats would immediately fill up with profanities and "creative" insults being hurled at them.

[@SirMalorak]

Kid bro at 8:30 seemed like a good chill person - Seriously, the smaller, more tight knit feel is why MMOs in the early 2000s were so cool. Games like Ragnarok online were HUGE but 2000 people online on 1 server at a time was not...WoW Numbers. And it made for people getting to know each other, being kind to one another or backstabbing people. Smaller communities rule man. I do still like bigger MMOs but man, these smaller, more laid back communities have a great vibe to them

[@Xurican]

i played this a while ago, might get back into it, but a pro tip about cooking when i played (im only halfway through the video) is that you can start a campfire in a chest you find, (in the actual chest), then place food above the fire (not in the slots where stuff can be stored), when the food is cooked it will automatically go into the chests' slots so you can easily take the cooked food out, no worries of burning it.

[@Wayloz]

"Even after we found a sword and shield" I'm sorry to say but those are rusted blades which I think deal less damage in the end than the flint pick. Also information dump: - Can throw the tree guy's dropped orbs at the enemy, they explode on impact. - Can also run circles around the weird mineshaft worm thing until they do an attack, it'll miss, passing beside you and then you can attack a couple times. Moving is very big in combat especially when you get a lot of rock guys following and a lot of those worms in the lower levels. - There is a skill/magic system. Every stone hit by a pickaxe of any kind (that can break the stone/ore) grants experience in that area. Eventually you'll earn a level and it'll appear as a little bar by the respective skill where we saw all the skills and their progress circles. So technically it's best to train with items that do the least as you'll have to hit whatever more to break/kill it. Same goes for swords, mining, archery, blacksmithing, and lumberjacking, With levels you then purchase/unlock skills from an ascending tree at their respective ruin temple thing. + There's a climbing tower that is essentially climbing parkour puzzle to top of tower to earn the ability to climb anywhere in the world. Really fun but hard at first. + There are like these dungeon things in the mineshaft that you have to clear and can then begin making certain alloys (combined metal for better function). + I believe they added farming. I'll stop there might as well add me on discord if you really wanna know what all but yea, it doesn't hold your hand lol.

Haven't played VR stuff in months. Still come back for your entertainment. Keep having fun Habie.

[@chaosfire321]

Honestly, I kinda like that it's hard to find out things for this game. One of the amazing things about old MMOs was how much discovery and exploration played into it. There weren't many tutorials or detailed walkthroughs. Sometimes the existence of a rare armor or easter egg was hearsay or a schoolyard legend. The expansion of the internet killed that. Now before a games out, the patches will be datamined, ideal meta builds thrown together and every secret consolidated in a clean concise KZbin video on launch day. I'm not saying this game and other VR games like it will stay that way. But in the short while it's been around, I love the reemergence of that old school discovery in ATT. :)

If you play on Quest standalone, you can make your own private servers. I think you can do that if you're a supporter too. There is a wiki for A Township Tale, but a lot of the stuff you need to know is gonna be taught by seeing and doing rather than reading

[@mewion6774]

Supporter, which is like $15 if I remember correctly, gives a permanent private server, even if you don't continue your subscription.

[@scottstayz7324]

2 Parts: First please tell Habie this, Second My thoughts (ignore if too long) Someone please tell Habie he should make a new public world, there'll be lever in the menu that displays "Create Server". Can find this server in the "Your Servers" section of the Server Menu. I'm not the most versed in the game so i cant say i know which way is best but only my personal thoughts. I think Habie starting a new world would be best, it would allow him to learn all the different parts of the game as hes rebuilding the town. Plus if Habie was ok with it he could make a smoothbrain server that everyone could build together. Love watching your videos and always looking forward to if there'll be another, though I still can't figure out why I like watching the non-bits every time. I'm so happy to know a donations going to trans shelter. Hope your brains stay smooth and good luck for the future.

[@eninja8152]

@habie147 The game does indeed have skills in many aspects of the game. Off the top of my head (its been a while) There are skills for Melee Combat (swords etc) Ranged Combat (bows etc) Mining Tree cutting Black Smithing. Making your own weapons is very complex and cool since you actually smelt the ingots down into different molds and make the handles separately. Because of this it is all modular allowing you to make pretty much any melee weapon your brain can think of. Want to put a giant scythe blade on 2 ends of a stick and make a double ended scythe well you can. Want to put a chicken bone on on a 12ft long stick YOU CAN!!! the possibilities are cool and suggest you find someone who knows what they are doing to help you learn about it as its a very cool game with unique systems.

What a nice video!

The community mostly is awesome and helpful! not sure how it is now. Do remember that there's SO much more to do in the game! you didnt even scratch the surface by far! Busting the mystery with in depth tutorial will def ruin the magic of township. i would suggest trying to figure stuff out alone or with in-game help as much as you can! i just hoped they would put in some common goals you could build towards as a player or server by now.

It all started from providing extensive property reassignment relief to a player. We had to keep up images or else the (extremely) wholesome tight-nit community would have out casted us. So we stumbled our way through figuring out katana making. Shits really hard and past the “investment” made by another player we pretty much had no profit. Was fun.
