Hey, I'm interested in this game but I'm not sure how the account system works. Do I have to login every time I open the game? Or is it just the first time I launch? Do I need to login at all if I want to just play offline single player?
oh no... local hosting is a nightmare in my country for some reason. The game looks super interesting, but maaaaan edit: I had to switch to playing it on windows when doing multiplayer, but IT IS SO WORTH IT Gotta find a way to do easy multiplayer on linux and I'm set.
Heya! This is wonderful, I have a small accessibility request for the store page: can you please bold the entire sentence for "After purchase, please redeem your key on the itch.io "My Purchase" page - it is a link that lets you create a game account to log in to the game."
Several friends have picked this up over the past week and missed this prompt, it blends in against the lovely image background for the page despite being right underneath the Buy Now button.
The phrasing is great, ty! The main problem is it's quite hard to actually see? It blends against the trees, like so:
If it's possible to increase the opacity of the background on that part it might to do it? Either way, thank you for the change! It's appreciated and might help more folks pick this up :D
Hi, I am create a co-op bundle to celebrate World Environment Day, I want invited you to join, all content related with nature and environment can be join, if you are interested you have join in the follow link: https://itch.io/jam/world-environment-day-bundle-2022
I'm excited and I appreciate your interest and your participation, thank you very much and good luck!
Very frustrating game to learn, but I suspect that after a few more tries I will start to like it more. I didn't want to "spoil anything" but maybe I'll just hop into the creative mode to get past those hurdles.
Oh, and it seems that launching through Itch always launches the installer, not the game itself, thus prompting me to uninstall / reinstall every time.
I think it should be made more clear on this page that redeeming the key is mandatory, not optional, for playing the game (even if it's only checked once per installation).
dude, okay, so, i haven't spent actual money *cough* on a computer program in... a very long time. but the graphics and premise of this really got me, so for the first time since i was like 12, i cracked open my wallet for a video game.
and IT IS FANTASTIC.
I WOULDNT EVEN CALL THIS A "MINECRAFT CLONE" - more like "everything that minecraft could have done right but didn't". it takes itself more seriously, it's FAR more immersive, and it FEELS like they actually cared about the game when they made it - minecraft in comparison feels like a damn lego set now. and i am PICKY. I'M PICKY BRO!! this has LORE (with good writing so far, despite some very minor spelling/grammatical errors), it has NPCS THAT DON'T BREAK IMMERSION (i stg hearing the villager "hmm" activates a violent sleeper agent in my brain) and YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN CHARACTER IN-GAME INSTEAD OF NEEDING TO GO THROUGH 20 SIDE CHANNELS. (admittedly i'd love to see some more eye/skin colors someday, but the stuff already there is lovely!! i'm VERY impressed with the hair options!)
i've already put 5 hours in (i don't have a lot of time for video games, so that's a lot for me) and have felt fully immersed/enjoyed every moment so far. there's been some frustration - coming to vintage story from minecraft is a bit of an adjustment, especially in the crafting section, but i'm slowly figuring it out. and they did something super difficult super well; i don't MIND figuring it out! it's a good balance of difficult and rewarding!
the only thing i'd change if i could... isn't something i see them changing, to be honest. with worlds like this (open, explorable, always something new) i've always been obsessed with the idea of being able to FLY around it, preferably with wings of my own. (that is, the character having functioning wings, not "creative mode" flight. something immersive and balanced.) so far, the "wings" mod in minecraft has been the closest i've gotten. i don't want it badly enough to go back to minecraft, but man... i do hope that that gets modded into vintage story someday. or added to the main game, although i can't imagine why they'd ever do it. consider this my humble request, i suppose? (a creature can dream)
also the drifters? terrifying, but their fight animations could use just the tiniest bit of tweaking. just, they tend to slash AWAY from me but still hit me, so i think something about their hit boxes is off. not game breaking or anything, but kind of breaks immersion for me, so i hope to see that patched someday. (and maybe a voice clip that's not so close to the minecraft zombie, if you're at it.)
FANTASTIC job, all in all. i haven't been this fully sucked in to/supportive of a video game in my entire adult life. i really look forward to where this goes!
So I bought it and thus far it looks very promising and the Linux support is the key thing for me, was a bit confused at first about the setup installed mono and did the download made a account and lo it ran! looks like ill enjoy this for some time. :)
If this game was free, it would be one of the Top Popular games of the time, But I understand that the programmer(s) have given their time and energy to the game, so they have the right to make it paid. :D
Fuck this game it's too hard + i lost my password and when i tried to recover it on website twice.... I didn't get any email (Yes i used my email i purchased the game with) Checked out every folder spam etc...I left the discord people were trolling me because i need help, fuck you
Sorry to hear you had a bad time. We hare happy to help - our official support channel is through the main sites support ticket system - https://www.vintagestory.at/support/
When requesting a password reset - please disable BitDefender, if you have it installed. It silently blocks all requests to our site, for no apparent reason and its the only application that seem to do that.
Also feel free to request a refund through itch.io.
I have a question. Normally I buy games and play offline LAN parties with my siblings. Will I need to buy this game per-PC we use it on? or is it perhaps similar to black ice for example, or factorio? (it makes sense for online games but some DRM is a real nightmare and also requires internet connections. this is what im worried about)
It is PC-independent, but you need one account for each player. They all need to log in once, after that you can play offline. For an offline LAN party you might need to set VerifyPlayerAuth to false in the serverconfig.json before launching a game server, otherwise I think they won't be able to connect
Smaller devs like the VS team usually don't do free versions of PC games, as it would drain their money. However, they do offer an old creative "classic" build for you to try out if that sounds interesting! https://info.vintagestory.at/classic
I am very interested in this game, and I see that it is a great game being independent.
I suggest you try to talk to Stadia Makers to take it to the cloud, it would be very good for a platform that is just starting where there is little competition and zero Minecraft.
I've noticed the "Early Access" sign on your homepage. Just wondering if you have a roadmap available for us to see? Or if not, when would you consider the game to be out of early access?
This game's really fun, I have one complain though: it's extremely annoying to find where you die. I'm pretty sure the reason is that in Minecraft you always spawn where you did at the beginning while in this game you should respawn in some random place nearby. So after getting killed by some pig, I have now lost all my progress.
I'm not the dev, but as far as I can tell, no, you don't have to. Simply download the Linux version of the game and login with your credentials as you did on Windows when you first started the game.
This is basically Minecraft but theres literally ALWAYS something to keep the player engaged. I love when theres lots of different systems, it makes the game so interesting! I don't currently have it yet, but I wanna get it for a bunch of my friends, that way we can do some crazy stuff :D

Hey, I'm interested in this game but I'm not sure how the account system works. Do I have to login every time I open the game? Or is it just the first time I launch? Do I need to login at all if I want to just play offline single player?
Just one time. After that you can remain offline and the game will keep on working.
Great, thanks for the explanation
If I buy the game can I make a server to play with my friend for free or tdo I have to buy a server like in minecraft?
It works the same way as with minecraft - you can host for free locally, through port forwarding or via vpn e.g. hamachi.
If you need a 24/7 online server with good connection bandwidth and easier setup a paid server is better, yes.
oh no...
local hosting is a nightmare in my country for some reason. The game looks super interesting, but maaaaan
edit: I had to switch to playing it on windows when doing multiplayer, but IT IS SO WORTH IT
Gotta find a way to do easy multiplayer on linux and I'm set.

Hey, not a fan of full bold sentences but i rephrased the text to be more clear now, hope that helps.
The phrasing is great, ty! The main problem is it's quite hard to actually see? It blends against the trees, like so:
If it's possible to increase the opacity of the background on that part it might to do it? Either way, thank you for the change! It's appreciated and might help more folks pick this up :D
I see. I uploaded a different background and increased the opacity now, that should hopefully help with readability.
MUCH better, thank you so much!!
wow! this is so underrated. As a gamedev myself, I can't imagine the work that has gone into this. Good work!
Please develop a Mac version. I would appreciate it!

sus
but like minecraft but more advance
Very frustrating game to learn, but I suspect that after a few more tries I will start to like it more. I didn't want to "spoil anything" but maybe I'll just hop into the creative mode to get past those hurdles.
Oh, and it seems that launching through Itch always launches the installer, not the game itself, thus prompting me to uninstall / reinstall every time.
After it installs, just delete the installation folder and re-name the game folder. When I click Launch in Itch it launches the actual game now.
For some reason I can't login?
I think it should be made more clear on this page that redeeming the key is mandatory, not optional, for playing the game (even if it's only checked once per installation).

I appreciate you took the time and effort to write this :)
What you said is all true! It is absolutely amazing! Everything Minecraft could've been it is!
Could this ever go on Mac Os X? That would be so incredibly mega-uber-ultra-hyper-super-duper-uper-puper magnificent.
No, it would be supercalifragilisticexpialidociousily great!
This is a MASTERPIECE!
Almost everything is this game is better than in every other sandbox game!
Let's just look at the building system. You can build something pixel by pixel if you want!
AWESOMENESS:
SADNESS:
CONCLUSION:
Vintage story is a must-play. Even with its content, you will spend hours and hours in your world! A perfect game to sit and play on a Friday night.
RATING:
87.25/100.00 - "gut".
18 not much in ur country
I remember this game ages ago, they need to release it on steam. It might become the next valheim.
I think they won't because of the cut steam takes - which while I understand they need to balance actual sales and over-all income.
Hope it works out for them though, I was interested in it for a while when I discovered it.
on steaqm would get more fame, means more money
can you post this game on steam please i cant buy it on itch.io
You can buy it on their Official Website too (vintagestory.at)
i cant buy it because i live in a diferent country
they also have it on humble bundle if ur able to buy from there
So I bought it and thus far it looks very promising and the Linux support is the key thing for me, was a bit confused at first about the setup installed mono and did the download made a account and lo it ran! looks like ill enjoy this for some time. :)
plz make mobile version it will make it more fun sense my laptop cant handel it
Any you think your phone is more powerful than a laptop?
I've only played an hour and a half and I'm enjoying every bit of it!

Sorry i didnt have a good morning, I didnt mean to be rude etc

I have this greece monkey!!!
This seems identical to the TerraFirmaCraft minecraft mod

Thank you, the game looks excellent. cant wait
Great job!
Hytale but it's a demo, omg it's amazing
After purchase, please redeem your key on the itch.io "My Purchase" page - it is a link that lets you create a game account to log in to the game.
Minecraft with a high budget
This seems really interesting and I can't wait to give it a try
Got this off the official website, one of the best games I've ever played
pls free versio

Not anymore, I guess. LOL

I have those same questions.

So after getting killed by some pig, I have now lost all my progress.
Ouch. That does sound rough! Hopefully some means of locating hard-earned gear is figured out.
But that definitely qualifies as "uncompromising..." :D
I bought this a few weeks ago through your website. Is there a way to hook it in to the itch.io windows app so it can manage updates for me?
I never used the app so I can't tell I'm afraid.
Related - is there a possibility for users who own the game via the website to claim it on itch?
Hi, currently no, sorry
My Windows 7 has crashed but have a dual boot with Linux on that PC.
Already purchased a prior version, would I need to pay for update to run on Mint?
I'm not the dev, but as far as I can tell, no, you don't have to. Simply download the Linux version of the game and login with your credentials as you did on Windows when you first started the game.
Ah yes, don't need to pay extra to switch OS, just download whichever version you need
This is basically Minecraft but theres literally ALWAYS something to keep the player engaged. I love when theres lots of different systems, it makes the game so interesting! I don't currently have it yet, but I wanna get it for a bunch of my friends, that way we can do some crazy stuff :D
