personally I suggest not adding to steam they already have enough of the market but I would suggest explaining to people where they can get the game I gave up a few times while looking around for it as I had no idea where it was on you guessed it steam(god we have lost a lot of critical thinking as of late)
Okay, awesome game, but it needs combat overhauled (luckily theres a mod for that), but reason why it isn't added to steam. Same reason as minecraft, it is its own launcher, but also Tyron likes a strict control over the price. Steam doesn't allow him to set his prices different from the steam prices, so he doesn't lowball them. Multiple do this already. 30% cut would make it more expensive for us, and same money he would normally get.
I've installed the game through the Itch.io, at launch I get the little popup in the top left corner saying a new version, 1.20.3, is available. I install, and go to launch again, only for it to tell me I have an old version installed, and it forces me to reinstall 1.20.1. Any way around this?
That's not true, dev can set whatever percentage of sale they want to share with itch.io from 0% to 100% with a transaction fee charged by stripe/paypal which is $0.30 + 2.9% of the sale.
cant find oven in the RED CLAY menu for some reason so i cant make one!!! i think its a bug. also flowers not showing in planters. ores cant be seen when placed on ground. i am running version 1.20.1
Inventory Loss is the shittiest consequence for death and it boggles my mind that survival games keep putting it in. You die, then have to run for 5 min your death point just to pick up your stuff and die again to the same mob. You can't bring any real equipment or prepare because then you'll be missing inventory slots to carry everything back, and you have a limited time before your items despawn. It's an absolutely miserable experience.
There's definitely a lot of good in this game, but as it is too many tedious poorly designed mechanics ruin large parts of the fun. The handbook doesn't filter itself based on your current progression, so not only does it end up spoiling future elements of the game, but crafts and items available at your current stage are buried under the mountain of yet inaccessible content. Prospecting is one of the most important mechanics in the game and it's explained nowhere. Once you inevitably go look up a youtube tutorial about it, it's fun when it works, but half the time you'll lose hours trying to follow a vein of mineral that capped out at Poor hours ago and just didn't tell you. Wolves and Bears do not function outside of plains-type biome. In plains it's fun to sneak around or hunt them, but in a forest or brushland you'll just turn a corner and then and up face to face with a bear. It immediately aggros you, runs as fast as you (without human error) and deals half your health bar each hit. You're dead, there's just no way out. There's no way to avoid this scenario other than not going through forest (which is a third the game space) and also not moving at night (which is half the game time).
With all these issues, i can't recommend this game to anyone. Not that it's not a fun game when it works, but crucial mistakes soured my experience heavily. It's better to wait until the design is properly ironed out, imo.
or just turn ON the keep inventory BEFORE you make a world. you whiny baby. this game is not for the wimps. Vintage Story is an uncompromising wilderness survival sandbox game inspired by eldritch horror themes. maybe READ before you play it.
I played this game on one monitor while doing quantum mechanics on brilliant with the other monitor. All while listening to Mozart's classical renditions in my left ear, and listening to Marcus arillus's meditation in ancient Greek in my right ear.
My neurons developed so many new pathways, that my brain began expanding (similar to a tumor) i began to break through reality into the spirit realm while convulsing violently as my temporal stability went down to negative levels. I could feel my Iq raising by 300 points all while understanding the intricate ways of out universe. I began to ascend the 3rd dimension and reach the 4th, I continued to elevate my plain of consciousness until i reached the final ninth dimension. Their I recreated the universe, using my newfound intellect as an infinite bounty of energy. I then returned to the mortal to realm knowing my new mission was to help humanity find purpose and avoid its destruction.
apparently 1.20.0 stable version has com out. but i have no idea how to get to get to the account manager to update to it. please help TYRON!!! p.s. i got it here if that matters any.
When you purchase, it will send you a link. Open that in a new tab. Follow the instructions from there.
Signed, a guy who purchased the game, then proceeded to have a crash-out to end all crash-outs because he thought the game was a scam because after he installed the game, he couldn't log in, because he didn't use the link!!!!
After signing up and verifying all my stuff I'm still unable to login to the game. I get the email/password wrong error. I can login to the website no issues. But when I try to get a reset password email sent nothing ever happens. Please help I'd really like to play this game.
I was having this problem when I bought my younger brother the game. Did you claim your download key and open the link that comes with it? I completely forgot to do that, and after I did and set up an account on the vintage story website it worked and I was able to login on the game. Hope this helps.
Thoughts on implementing an LOD system? (Like the distant horizons mod for minecraft.) I think implementing such a system, if possible, could make the game look even more beautiful than it already looks.
is there a list of good "SEEDS" to use to get some decent map configurations at world gen? all i ever seem to get is a crap ton of gravel and ocean worlds. which kind of blows.
any chance on adding an option that adjusts the amount of ruins in a world before creation? or the amount of fruit trees? i hardly find any of either!!!!
i love the update so far! one thing i would really love is a way to save and load presets for world settings, and maybe an option for 75% creature strength?
I have more than 600 hours on this game and own my very own active server and i have to say that this game is an absolute masterpiece, even though It's jut in early access it has a ton of hours worth of content and has a lot of replayability, really enjoy the game and hope to see it grow like it deserves to!
can you add something in the customization settings about how changing the month length will ALSO make crops take LONGER TO GROW if made longer? i found this out the hard way cuz i set months to 30 days and did not get crops for the entire month. yeah it was on low fert dirt but still the time thing i was NOT aware of. i bet many are not aware of it. i still LOVE the game. keep up the great work Tyron!!!
a few things i noticed from nolifing this for 30 hours... wine caskets should stay closed till you open them. and someone explain to me why rabbits wont eat mash... seems dumb to make it so they dont eat it...they eat mask irl... other then that it feels a little empty like i want a bad guy walking around or something i dont know something humanoid not a monster... anyway back to nolifing another 30 hours...
i slightly need to agree with him looking at the screenshots i can see the care put into this game, although it does look like the Rlcraft screenshot it confused me before i opened the page, im going to try playing the game then figure out my opinion on this.
It's because he made this after making the mincraft mod VintageCraft, which is the start of this project i believe.
So "be original" kinda falls out as an argument. It's like saying "Hytale is trash, it's like minecraft". First of all, it's really different. Second of all, the project started with Hypixel's team, which worked on minecraft before, so ofc it will have some similiarities.
Furthermore, Terraria was lauched the 16 of may 2011, while Minecraft was lauched in the 17th of may 2011. You should talk trash about Minecraft then, bc those games are similar in the graphics (like vintage story). And you only should judge on that, since you don't care about the gameplay. And don't say to me "minecraft developement started before", because i'll just slap the Crimson biome into your face.
The game was inspired by an old Minecraft mod, actually. So you're not completely wrong.
Though the game is way more than Minecraft. More intricate, the finer details are what the game focuses on.
This game is difficult, though not too difficult, and it can also be tedious if you don't have the patience to, say, shape a clay pot pixel-by-pixel. A lot of people describe this game as "Minecraft for men." lol
i am happy to report that a laptop with 6 GB of RAM can run Vintage Story.i do got it on pretty much all potato stats in the game but it does run fine with minimal slow down issues.
Steam give much more visibility. So it should be better than anything; just make the price heigher on steam and say in the game's description it's cheaper here ig (idk you your allowed to tho)
As far as I know you can't sell games on steam if you offer them cheaper somewhere else. So if you want to sell game for $20 it has to be $20 everywhere to sell it on steam.
i.e. You can't charge more on steam to cover valve's cut.
i will be getting the game on this site. every time we try to get it on Vintagestory.at the anti-fraud thingies go off at the bank cuz of the site being in Latvia and not in the USA. so i will get it here cuz itch.io is in California in the USA. so it SHOULD count as local enough to not be an issue anymore. that and i gotta use a prepaid card to avoid bank BS.
Looking for a review that's something more than "It's good", then read this:
Vintage Story (VS) is a combination of modded MC and Wurm online. Things like a mini-map and world-edit are built into the Vanilla game and yet VS is built from the ground up with an excellent modding system.
The game has just the right amount of challenge and grind to feel rewarding and if you disagree then no problem, simply edit the world settings to your preferences. You don't like how often you need to eat? No problem, adjust that in the vanilla settings. Don't like the challenge of "True Winter"? Again no problem, just adjust a vanilla setting. Don't like rifts, temporal storms, or unstable areas? Again, no problem, just edit world settings (there's a lot). And if you prefer multi-player then you will probably find a server with the settings (or mods) that you like.
The game has been in development for 7 years and even as an early access game, it feels very polished. With all of the content, it's hard to believe that it is only 40% complete. I was surprised to learn this because it feels nearly completed already and I'm excited to see how the game is going to improve further.
The attention to detail is phenomenal and you can tell that the indy developers really care about their game and how it is experienced by you. The chiseling system is second to none and lets you chisel pixels from most blocks to create any shape you want which in turn lets you create things you could never achieve in MC or Wurm. You can even replace bits from a block with bits from another different colored block. You've seen pixel art on MC... well you can do that in detail with single blocks in VS. You ever see a building IRL and then attempt to recreate it in MC or Wurm and it just didn't work? ... it works in Vintage Story.
You can purchase direct from the developer but I purchased through Itch because Itch allows me the use of a US domestic-only prepaid visa gift card that doesn't work with most international payment processors. So if you don't have a credit card, you can buy a prepaid visa gift card with cash and then purchase the game here on itch (worked for me in the U.S.). After purchase just read your email and follow the instructions to create a VS account, download, and install. I don't know why some people had a hard time with this, all I did was read and follow the instructions. Easy Peasy.
will the game run on a laptop with only 6 GB of RAM? all my other specs seem to be good enough i think but i only got 6 GB not 8 GB. i have yet to get the game so i NEED to know this SOON!!! anybody with less than 8 GB of ram who can play this please let me know!!!!
i am used to running all my games on potato settings with no mods so as long as it can run i will be happy. i can play "Deep Rock Galactic" on this laptop so i believe i have a decent chance that Vintage Story will run! thanks for answering my question btw!!!
Was thinking about getting it but I'm seeing a lot of people having problems. I'm sure your game is great but I'm broke and 23 dollars is a lot for me and I'm not looking to lose it.
Hopefully you sort out your problems or just make the game cheaper, either or, I'll probably be coming back.
This game is very good. If you have played Minecraft and enjoyed it but wished it was more survival oriented, then you will enjoy this. Me and my group of friends have all played it together for a month or two each major update and have had a blast every time. Our experience is that the game is very stable if you run it on a stable release. Beta releases are beta releases and will have bugs and crashes, but stable releases are clearly marked. While the game is fun solo it really shines in groups, solo play can be a bit much as there are a lot of systems. For what its worth I bought my copy directly from their website and not through a 3rd party, humble also sells the game if you trust them more.
No problem. The devs are very passionate. You see it everywhere if you pay attention. For instance if you drop a maple tree seed it twirls as it falls like they do in real life. You can skip rocks across water. When baking bread it rises in the oven. Every time we play we find some small detail that we never noticed. Its not as fleshed out as modern Minecraft, and next update is still a few months out so there is no harm in waiting. Updates are about twice a year and are usually pretty sizeable and worth a restart on a fresh server. So perhaps try to get it for like Christmas break or something they should be rolling out betas for the new update by then.
Incase I'm overselling it, I will also list some criticisms. One this game is hard until you know what you are doing, then its pretty relaxing if not a bit boring. The late game is getting better, but once you make steel the game looses its difficulty and survival is more of a chore. The reason i say this game shines with friends is because in the early game there is a lot to do and the game does you no favors. Ore can be hard to find. Food rots so you need to gather, cook, and organize your food, and that can be a job in itself. Animal Husbandry will kill you unless you put a good deal of work into it and may not be worth it unless you like to roleplay a bit (I do). Alcohol is the same, its a lot of work for no real in game reward. Forging tools is a love it or hate it system, same with pottery, and you'll spend a lot of time doing both. There isn't much enemy variety right now, so I was actually excited to see them add bears. Wolves suck and you will forever hate them, they are this games creeper and a huge source of grief when exploring. Biomes can also get a bit stale. Mods can fix some of these, but I recommend going in vanilla at first.
That was actually such a great review. Why don't people post these more often?? You seem like such a cool person if you took the time to write that (And admit u like roleplay a tiny bit ((I do too))) and that makes me question something totally off topic if u dont mind answering
if you get christmas or birthday money save it and have an adult bank it and get it for you using their card. that is how i am doing it. i got no bank or card but family got both so they will get it with the money i give them.
HECK YEAH!!!!! minecraft holds your hand way to much in my opinion . Vintage Story makes you feel like you ACTUALLY did a thing because you had to go thru all that effort. because you have to do all of these things to get anywhere the payout feels WAY more rewarding when you get the fruits of your labor. that and i heard that the game has a 10 hour trial period before you can't refund. so you get a lot more time to try it and see if you REALLY want it.

ADD TO STEAM

Add to steam
ADD TO STEAM
please add this to steam
It won't let me play, I created up to 2 accounts, I bought the game, it won't let me log in
I've installed the game through the Itch.io, at launch I get the little popup in the top left corner saying a new version, 1.20.3, is available. I install, and go to launch again, only for it to tell me I have an old version installed, and it forces me to reinstall 1.20.1. Any way around this?
pls add this to steam
why it 2$ and some odd cent more here then on the official website?
itch takes a cut so it's higher price here, so the devs get the same amount of money
That's not true, dev can set whatever percentage of sale they want to share with itch.io from 0% to 100% with a transaction fee charged by stripe/paypal which is $0.30 + 2.9% of the sale.
cant find oven in the RED CLAY menu for some reason so i cant make one!!! i think its a bug. also flowers not showing in planters. ores cant be seen when placed on ground. i am running version 1.20.1
You specifically need fire clay for the oven, afaik
it doesnt work on chromeboob
This game scratches itches in my brain I didn't even know existed. Best $24.50 I've spent in a very long time.

Maybe SURVIVAL is the premise of the genre ????? ever think of that buddy
errm skill issue

10/10 would recommend

You should be able to update ingame or manually download on https://account.vintagestory.at/
I'd like to apologize for the support forum titled "What do you mean invalid email/password" on the Vintage Story website.
I would delete it myself, but I don't know how or if I can.
Before I buy, does anyone know, once I create my account and login am I able to play offline too?
AFIAK, yeah, when doing single player the game hosts a local server, my internet went out while playing and had no issues.
i do not know if the MODS work when OFFLINE but i have been told the GAME does still play offline.
When you purchase, it will send you a link. Open that in a new tab. Follow the instructions from there.

It's because its 2 accounts, one for the website and the other is for the game in which it's linked to the key you've bought
Thoughts on implementing an LOD system? (Like the distant horizons mod for minecraft.) I think implementing such a system, if possible, could make the game look even more beautiful than it already looks.
I second this
is there a list of good "SEEDS" to use to get some decent map configurations at world gen? all i ever seem to get is a crap ton of gravel and ocean worlds. which kind of blows.
any chance on adding an option that adjusts the amount of ruins in a world before creation? or the amount of fruit trees? i hardly find any of either!!!!
i love the update so far! one thing i would really love is a way to save and load presets for world settings, and maybe an option for 75% creature strength?
you can lower creature strength at world creation. do you mean mid game?
I have more than 600 hours on this game and own my very own active server and i have to say that this game is an absolute masterpiece, even though It's jut in early access it has a ton of hours worth of content and has a lot of replayability, really enjoy the game and hope to see it grow like it deserves to!
can you add something in the customization settings about how changing the month length will ALSO make crops take LONGER TO GROW if made longer? i found this out the hard way cuz i set months to 30 days and did not get crops for the entire month. yeah it was on low fert dirt but still the time thing i was NOT aware of. i bet many are not aware of it. i still LOVE the game. keep up the great work Tyron!!!
garlic bread is good
a few things i noticed from nolifing this for 30 hours...
wine caskets should stay closed till you open them.
and someone explain to me why rabbits wont eat mash... seems dumb to make it so they dont eat it...they eat mask irl...
other then that it feels a little empty like i want a bad guy walking around or something i dont know something humanoid not a monster...
anyway back to nolifing another 30 hours...
Looks like minecraft, be original!
You clearly havent played the game if you're saying this. It's more than minecraft. At least try the game before saying silly things
i slightly need to agree with him looking at the screenshots i can see the care put into this game, although it does look like the Rlcraft screenshot it confused me before i opened the page, im going to try playing the game then figure out my opinion on this.
also i do respect you Tyron i think the game looks amazing from the screenshots
And you look **stupid**
It's because he made this after making the mincraft mod VintageCraft, which is the start of this project i believe.
So "be original" kinda falls out as an argument. It's like saying "Hytale is trash, it's like minecraft".

will we ever see this on steam?
better for it to be on here or humble because of the cut valve takes. something like 30%
Steam give much more visibility. So it should be better than anything; just make the price heigher on steam and say in the game's description it's cheaper here ig (idk you your allowed to tho)

Oh ok, i didn't knew that, that's great to know. Thanks
You can't sell steam keys outside of the steam store at a lower price than the advertised in the store.
that is not true tho, all games are cheaper on Epic because their cut is smaller.
i should still be able to get it before Christmas so yay!!!!
i will be getting the game on this site. every time we try to get it on Vintagestory.at the anti-fraud thingies go off at the bank cuz of the site being in Latvia and not in the USA. so i will get it here cuz itch.io is in California in the USA. so it SHOULD count as local enough to not be an issue anymore. that and i gotta use a prepaid card to avoid bank BS.

Network: Internet Connection required when starting the game for the first time
i am used to running all my games on potato settings with no mods so as long as it can run i will be happy. i can play "Deep Rock Galactic" on this laptop so i believe i have a decent chance that Vintage Story will run! thanks for answering my question btw!!!
Was thinking about getting it but I'm seeing a lot of people having problems. I'm sure your game is great but I'm broke and 23 dollars is a lot for me and I'm not looking to lose it.
Hopefully you sort out your problems or just make the game cheaper, either or, I'll probably be coming back.
This game is very good. If you have played Minecraft and enjoyed it but wished it was more survival oriented, then you will enjoy this. Me and my group of friends have all played it together for a month or two each major update and have had a blast every time. Our experience is that the game is very stable if you run it on a stable release. Beta releases are beta releases and will have bugs and crashes, but stable releases are clearly marked. While the game is fun solo it really shines in groups, solo play can be a bit much as there are a lot of systems. For what its worth I bought my copy directly from their website and not through a 3rd party, humble also sells the game if you trust them more.
Thanks for letting me know! I just have like 0 cash atm and no credit card or source of income of any sort. I'm now more tempted to play!
No problem. The devs are very passionate. You see it everywhere if you pay attention. For instance if you drop a maple tree seed it twirls as it falls like they do in real life. You can skip rocks across water. When baking bread it rises in the oven. Every time we play we find some small detail that we never noticed. Its not as fleshed out as modern Minecraft, and next update is still a few months out so there is no harm in waiting. Updates are about twice a year and are usually pretty sizeable and worth a restart on a fresh server. So perhaps try to get it for like Christmas break or something they should be rolling out betas for the new update by then.
Incase I'm overselling it, I will also list some criticisms. One this game is hard until you know what you are doing, then its pretty relaxing if not a bit boring. The late game is getting better, but once you make steel the game looses its difficulty and survival is more of a chore. The reason i say this game shines with friends is because in the early game there is a lot to do and the game does you no favors. Ore can be hard to find. Food rots so you need to gather, cook, and organize your food, and that can be a job in itself. Animal Husbandry will kill you unless you put a good deal of work into it and may not be worth it unless you like to roleplay a bit (I do). Alcohol is the same, its a lot of work for no real in game reward. Forging tools is a love it or hate it system, same with pottery, and you'll spend a lot of time doing both. There isn't much enemy variety right now, so I was actually excited to see them add bears. Wolves suck and you will forever hate them, they are this games creeper and a huge source of grief when exploring. Biomes can also get a bit stale. Mods can fix some of these, but I recommend going in vanilla at first.
That was actually such a great review. Why don't people post these more often??
You seem like such a cool person if you took the time to write that (And admit u like roleplay a tiny bit ((I do too))) and that makes me question something totally off topic if u dont mind answering
if you get christmas or birthday money save it and have an adult bank it and get it for you using their card. that is how i am doing it. i got no bank or card but family got both so they will get it with the money i give them.
mine do too but they prefer not to. Thank you for the advice! Do you think it's worth it? The game, I mean
HECK YEAH!!!!! minecraft holds your hand way to much in my opinion . Vintage Story makes you feel like you ACTUALLY did a thing because you had to go thru all that effort. because you have to do all of these things to get anywhere the payout feels WAY more rewarding when you get the fruits of your labor. that and i heard that the game has a 10 hour trial period before you can't refund. so you get a lot more time to try it and see if you REALLY want it.
buy it from their website not itch
