Silent Heaven: Small-town Horror RPG

Vulgar Boy

I do think that if the tools to allow PCs to prevent other PCs from doing malicious shit are not available for 7 days, then that should be an indicator to avoid the malicious shit RP, not to intentionally do malicious shit with the knowledge that no one can really stop you. One of these is learning from systems, the other is taking advantage of them.

The problem here was that the character got disconnected outside of a safe zone, which should have caused the protection to kick in. I don’t think it’s okay to downplay this.

I was not being wholly serious. I’ve only ever had organs taken while I was asleep once, and I probably deserved it if I’m being honest.

@Vulgar-Boy Look. You just gotta remember: if your one-night-stand offers to draw you a bath, it’s great if it’s hot. But if there are ice cubes in it, you should probably call it an early evening.

And if the bath is in the basement, look out for easily-accessed building supplies.

After discussion in the Silent Heaven discord server, we’ve decided to restrict this mechanic to NPCs/monsters only. PCs will have the option to opt-in. By default, it’ll be blocked.

This is probably the way I should have done it originally. But I’m always open to changes, and I think this’ll be a positive one.

So it somehow bypassed two checks for safety. I’m sorry that affected you, and as soon as I get back to my computer, it’s one of the first things I’m going to fix.

Code goes awry sometimes. Props to you for acknowledging and remedying the issue.

@Jumpscare That’s really encouraging. It was late when I signed on to find…all of that so I think I misinterpreted a few things that were said in our conversation and didn’t get that there had been things the code should have prevented and thought it was a me mistake. It was definitely overwhelming to then find out later that before I could even RP my body had been in a scene and…

It just was definitely not the greatest first impression. I’m really glad to hear that none of that was intended gameplay for a new person.

Yeah, I gotta say A+ on how all of this has been handled. It’s really reassuring.

shit-piss-love

Yeah, still not the game for me (I’m not down with any level of having things done to me while I’m offline) but the handling on what appears to specifically be a bug is very positive.

TNP

Responsive staff, willing to acknowledge mistakes, and implement changes in response to feedback/complaints?

Just… damn.

Vulgar Boy

I feel like I should admit that I’ve been following this thread for months and playing there since it opened and this is the first time I realized that it’s Silent Heaven, not Silent Haven.

Raeras

@Vulgar-Boy I also had that same thing happen. A realization when i finally joined the discord that i’d had the name wrong the whole time

Selira

Still very impressed by this game, as the horror elements are starting to kick up. @Jumpscare is a beast of a coder and a headwiz, and the playerbase is by and large great. Looking forward to seeing the next few phases of the game roll out.

Guys. Gals. People of all genders. It is 3am.

I’m locking the thread for a little bit until the other admin can come look at it.

Chill out.

I feel like these posts should also get moved over to the Rough & Rowdy thread.

@HannahBananna Oh, honey, you have no idea. But this isn’t the personal attacks section of the forum.

AND YET you couldn’t resist throwing gasoline on the fire and doing it anyways.

Yeah. I’m of two minds on that myself, personally, which is why I didn’t immediately. Let me temperature check on that.

I could not.

@Tez Silent Heaven seems like a nice little game, honestly. I think the posts should be gently moved, so that new viewers don’t have to scroll through the rowdy content in order to get a sense of “what is this game.”

Agreed. Move the nonsense that barely relates to the game from a disgruntled former player. Keep it around, but it doesn’t need to be here.
