its not a minecraft mod... its a well made game with incredible meccanings u should watch a gameplay and then choose if its worth the price(trust me it is)
Don't Buy. The game looks fancy and polished, but the core mechanics are mediocre at best, and often flawed. The core gameplay loop is boring and punishing. After wandering blindly through the forest for an hour poking around with a frustrating tool for vague results, I finally managed to scrounge up 5 ingots' worth of copper. I pop out of my little mine hole and immediately get 2-shot by a wolf (with a full set of starter armor and a shield, mind you). No biggie, the game annotates your death point so you can get back to your stuff. Except it spawned me on top of another wolf which immediately overwrote my previous death point before I could open my map to copy it. Just go play modded Minecraft; it's more polished, better tested, better supported, fully customizable, has a better player base, and doesn't have stupid mechanics which cause periodic nether storms in the overworld which can be completely avoided by nerd-poling or coffining and just end up wasting your time. By and large this game just made me feel like I was playing a TerraFirmaCraft modpack, except for the frequent points when it was painfully obvious I wasn't.
Don't listen to this goober the game is great, it is very polished. It just truly is really hard so if you're not willing to put in actual effort and time to play a great game just don't, don't play knowing you won't enjoy and then leave a negative review.
Imagine reading a genuine review and then blaming the reviewer for spending non-refundable money. "Don't do something without knowing the future and then take exception when you're misled". Honestly, the mental gymnastics some kids put themselves through just to avoid accepting that they might be wrong...
"Might be wrong" I enjoy the game and think it is very polished, which is subjective, the part about "knowing the future" is goofy on your part, what I meant is if you don't want to play a difficult game, don't start playing one while knowing it's difficult before and then leaving a bad review because it was too difficult.
You didn't even read the actual review, did you? There's a difference between a hard game and a half-baked, under-implemented copy of a modpack whose only unique features are boring and uninspired. Green Hell is a hard survival game. Icarus is a hard survival game. This thing is unbalanced and combersome.
sees squares, MuSt Be MiNeCrAfT. your review should of simply been 'it was too hard, didnt like it' instead of adding in the rest. even with mods this will and does run different than minecraft and I have played a good 20 hours of minecraft a week for the last 10+ years lol.
I played this game pretty extensively. The wolves are notorious for this kind of thing, and new players frequently have this complaint.
Animal AI and combat both need a rework, and there's a lot of denialism among the hardcore playerbase that any of the core mechanics require improvement.
Эта игра потрясающая ! Она оказана меня такое впечатление, что мне тоже захотелось создать свою игру с механиками из майнкрафта. Но своё и более проработаенное и красочное, как эта игра ! Автор просто крут !
this app will not lanch on mac but will on PC the mac divice is an M2 macbook air any ideas why it won't lanch I tried it from both the itch and the app in the applications folder.
can you make it so if we have glue with us when we find a "cracked vessel" of some sort we can repair it so we can take it home instead of just smashing them? i think getting free large clay pots by using some glue would make sense. make this also work on the "damaged crates" and other such storage items too please!!!
System requirements on vintage story website say that "Internet Connection required when starting the game for the first time". After you do it you won't need internet connection anymore.
would it be possible to add an item that lets you scoop out spoiled food out of containers without having to wait until it fully rots? i don't know what you would call it but i deem it to be somewhat needed for those who make tons of food or just tend to forget to finish off a full crock. just a suggestion.
If you still have the original game key from itch.io, you can email us that on our contact form on vintagestory.at and we can look up what email it is assinged to
Amazing game, bought it from the original website. Really hoping this game goes mainstream, it is so much more endearing than most sandbox survival games of its kind and deserves more recognition.
if there is butter in the game are there any plans on a windmill powered butter churn? i think it would be a cool addition to the game and also another source of dairy. even a hand churned butter maker for early dairy needs would be awesome!!! maybe base it of of the quern or the fruit press.
I'm very much interested in playing the game, but please put the game on Steam.
One of my friends as convinced me to look after the game but when I wanted to know where I could buy it I soon discovered it wasn't on Steam but rather the original website of the game, itch.io or Humble Bundle.
So yeah the game not being on Steam's gonna be the deal breaker for me, so please put it on Steam and I'll buy it immediately.
I just don't wanna open up a specific launcher or something for a specific game, I like all my stuff sorted out in one place, thus why I hate Epic Games so much.
While platforms are up to the devs, the platforms the game is on allow it to be DRM free, so you won't be tracked. You also don't need a launcher for this game! Just download from itch on to your computer!
If you still need it to be listed on your steam launcher for one reason or another, on steam you can select "add non-steam games to my library" and launch from steam!
Good point. However, like many others, I myself don't like using 5+ different stores for my games. Nowadays, everything tracks you no matter how hard you try to get around it.
I currently only have Steam installed and am keeping it like that. Downloading from itch.io gives the advantage that there is no launcher, but the disadvantage of not having auto-updates.
Also, having a different launcher for every game is the most annoying thing ever. Ubisoft Connect, Epic Games, the Star Citizen launcher, Origin, Steam, Rockstar Games, Itch.io, Paradox Games... we could probably go on like this for hours.
And at the end of the day, many more people use Steam (or Epic) as their launcher and would also find the game more easily on that. P.S. to the devs, this isn't to hate; I'm just hoping that the game will someday come to Steam so me and a prob a lot of other people will buy it.
And the Devs say that the reasons on why they don't put it on Steam is because of the % Cut as well as the refund policy for some reason.
But they also don't seem to be interested in getting lots of money and recognition so.. again we go back on a loop! There is literally, no matter how much arguments are made, any reasons as to why the game isn't on Steam yet.
You've really got things backwards... itch.io /does not require a launcher/. You don't need to download some other thing to connect your game. If you use 'add non steam game' from your library, it will behave exactly like a steam game... except that you won't lose it if you lose access to your account, you can play it offline indefinitely, or even put it on a usb drive to play it on any computer you wish. There is no DRM, be free and enjoy your game lol
the itch desktop app has update alerts. Makes it very easy to stay updated on all your games. Not saying anything past that it's your choice but there's a lot of cool games on itch that made downloading the desktop app for me well worth it. And then some
Game is very unique and fun to play, only thing that prevents me from buying it for friends is animals not having line of sight. The enemies will hug the walls of your base and your un-domesticated animals will always be afraid of you if you build your house too close to your farm because they can see you through walls, if this was fixed it would make the game much better.
I have a question regarding the lovecraftian/eldritch horror elements. Is this game scary in any way? I avoid horror games. I am okay with Minecraft & other survival games level of scary. (Creeper chasing me).
Pretty much as scary as Minecraft, at least so far. The lovecraftian elements are mostly through in game lore (There's books and scrolls with lore scattered around) and the mechanics on how the monsters work (Temporal Distortion and Temporal Storms). The monsters themselves aren't too different from what you might find in Minecraft, made more scary mostly because this game is more punishing.
Also there's no creepers. Monsters are mostly "zombies" and "spiders".
I will likely buy this when I'm not broke, the gameplay looks super fun, I have been watching Pr1vateLime's series on this game and it made me really want to play for myself. Good work to the devs, can't wait to try this out.
this game needs grapes. it already has vines so adding another vine-type plant that has fruit on it should not be to hard i believe. since it has a winepress this has to be something that will most likely be added in the future i think. plus then we can make real vineyards not just faux ones from berry bushes!!
the water areas really need more lifeforms added to them.like maybe seals or walrus or tuna schools. but i have faith that that will be remedied in the future updates at some point.
would it be possible to add clams or oysters to the game? and maybe make them able to be found be panning gravel/sand/etc that are UNDERWATER only? the shells would also be another good source of lime for leather tanning!!
would it be possible to add the ability to eat berries DIRECTLY off the bushes when hands are full? this way if you are starving you don't have to drop stuff to eat in an emergency. this could also work with mushrooms.
This game is real art. Minecraft player since 2010 here and I personally don't play it anymore, but this game hooked me. It's really a completely different game. $23 dollars was totally justified.
i was looking at the recipe for candles and saw it needs 3 wax. i think it would be better with 2 wax and 1 flax twine or 1 rope for a wick. just my opinion but wax does seem a bit hard to get.

This is an amazing game but folks are taking way too long to make an Avali model. There is a kobold model so I know it can be done. Haha
Be the change you want to see in the world :)
very addictive
Great game!
I would recommend for everyone to buy it through the official website because you get a proper account on there.
whats the link
Kinda Expensive For a MineCraFt Mod?
its not a minecraft mod... its a well made game with incredible meccanings u should watch a gameplay and then choose if its worth the price(trust me it is)
it was a joke
/s
just because it's cubes doesn't mean it's minecraft
can you honestly say that this isn't the final form of TerraFirmaCraft?
Bait
How big is the download? I might be blind but I don't see a size of download, even in the info tab.
428 MB
Thanks.

I've been watching some playthroighs of the game and jesus do I love this game, I can't get it though cuz I'm on android and can't afford a pc 🥲
But I'm still gunna support the devs (or dev if it's indie) as long as I can 👍
If you wanna support the devs, buy me the game bro/j (more seriously tho, buy it on the real website if you want to support)
this app will not lanch on mac but will on PC the mac divice is an M2 macbook air any ideas why it won't lanch I tried it from both the itch and the app in the applications folder.
i did play the game on my PC and it was a blast just wish it would work on mac
Everytime I want to start this game from the Itch io launcher it says I have an old version of the game and that I need to reinstall it.
I can play it normally when I start the exe myself from the folder though.
Else it's a pretty cool game ^^
hey i accidentaly sent this to the wrong person is there a way to get my download key back and send it to the right email?
See first senctence in the game description - you can get your key on the itch.io website itself.
why are they different prizes for the game ?, here its like 27 euro or something, and on the offical site just 18 euro
Probably to account for itch's cut.
yea costs money to host just like how delivery costs more than making it yourself
can you make it so if we have glue with us when we find a "cracked vessel" of some sort we can repair it so we can take it home instead of just smashing them? i think getting free large clay pots by using some glue would make sense. make this also work on the "damaged crates" and other such storage items too please!!!
Do you need an account to play? Or would I be able to just run the game without any internet access?
I am assuming I need an account because the description asks for you to redeem a key
You will be able to play offline just fine, all you gotta do is login on first game start once
so it is required to have an internet connection.
System requirements on vintage story website say that "Internet Connection required when starting the game for the first time". After you do it you won't need internet connection anymore.
sooo good
would it be possible to add an item that lets you scoop out spoiled food out of containers without having to wait until it fully rots? i don't know what you would call it but i deem it to be somewhat needed for those who make tons of food or just tend to forget to finish off a full crock. just a suggestion.
i this an voxel engine where we can dig holes in the ground and other stuff we know from minecraft ? and is this written in C ?
I forgot which email I used to make my account in game, is there any way to recover the email?
If you still have the original game key from itch.io, you can email us that on our contact form on vintagestory.at and we can look up what email it is assinged to
Amazing game, bought it from the original website. Really hoping this game goes mainstream, it is so much more endearing than most sandbox survival games of its kind and deserves more recognition.
How long until 1.19 is on itch.io?
Hi, if you rerun the installer after installing the first time, it will update to the newest version.
if there is butter in the game are there any plans on a windmill powered butter churn? i think it would be a cool addition to the game and also another source of dairy. even a hand churned butter maker for early dairy needs would be awesome!!! maybe base it of of the quern or the fruit press.
I think you'd have better luck in their discord my friend

Bro just made a small indie game better than Minecraft
Minecraft was an indie game back in 2014
idc Minecraft's days are over in 2030
vintage story is not better than minecraft. it is as good as minecraft.
I have a question regarding the lovecraftian/eldritch horror elements. Is this game scary in any way? I avoid horror games. I am okay with Minecraft & other survival games level of scary. (Creeper chasing me).

Thanks for the detailed reply! <3
I will likely buy this when I'm not broke, the gameplay looks super fun, I have been watching Pr1vateLime's series on this game and it made me really want to play for myself. Good work to the devs, can't wait to try this out.
I just wanted to praise the Dev Support, they post release canditates often, so you can see the game evolving. I'm hooked !
yeah man
this game needs kabobs. that would be another food to cook at a firepit. the mix and match possibilities for kabobs are many and varied.
this game needs grapes. it already has vines so adding another vine-type plant that has fruit on it should not be to hard i believe. since it has a winepress this has to be something that will most likely be added in the future i think. plus then we can make real vineyards not just faux ones from berry bushes!!
the water areas really need more lifeforms added to them.like maybe seals or walrus or tuna schools. but i have faith that that will be remedied in the future updates at some point.
Looks like a Minecraft clone until you play it, then Minecraft feels like a bad Vintage Story clone.
would it be possible to add clams or oysters to the game? and maybe make them able to be found be panning gravel/sand/etc that are UNDERWATER only? the shells would also be another good source of lime for leather tanning!!
would it be possible to add the ability to eat berries DIRECTLY off the bushes when hands are full? this way if you are starving you don't have to drop stuff to eat in an emergency. this could also work with mushrooms.
any plans on adding birds like ducks and turkeys and geese. the lack of flying stuff does seem a bit weird. maybe even cave bats. or eagles.
This game is real art. Minecraft player since 2010 here and I personally don't play it anymore, but this game hooked me. It's really a completely different game. $23 dollars was totally justified.
i was looking at the recipe for candles and saw it needs 3 wax. i think it would be better with 2 wax and 1 flax twine or 1 rope for a wick. just my opinion but wax does seem a bit hard to get.
