Welcome to the world of TwinForge
This is a game that is currently in pre-alpha testing and will be played entirely within the steem blockchain through posts and comments.
It is a multiplayer rpg that revolves heavily around resource management through harvesting materials and crafting them into useful tools, furniture,buildings,bridges and more.
At the heart of this game will be a thriving series of communities all with their own towns cities and residential areas built through hard work of the people by gathering materials of all varieties crafting them into what they need and selling what they don't to nearby or even far distanced lands. Traveling with wares from town to town can be a vital part of your gameplay or simply owning your own land and building it into a bustling town with the help of other players in the game. It is up to you how you wish to play.
Crafting Guilds are also a key component to the health of your land as only the masters of a craft can convert the most valuable materials into even more valuable resources.
Here is a small guide to help you navigate your way through these earliest trials in the game.
Over time we will be expanding this post on what you can do where you can go and how many ways you can use those mega sized hogs to save you time and stamina in what you do.
first thing we will be doing is going over your profile page. Each person that signs up for the game(in any post that’s not a profile) will have a profile post created for them as long as we have not reached our testing player limits currently we are at 24/30 testers
Your profile will look something like this
@ Player profile
joined xxx
subscription tier: none
Marks earned per day 7
(this first cluster shows your name,when your joined what your subscription tier you are currently at and how many marks(ingame currency) you earn per day just for checking in at the leaders area ie logger boss,town mayor etc)
Stats

exp until next level 1000

logging exp 0
Travel exp 0
(this next cluster shows what your total level is, how much exp needed for the next level ,how much stamina you have for the day and then the individual exp for each trait/skill)
Services activated
hog mount 00:00
hog+cart 00:00
(this cluster is about how much time you have left from renting ingame services)
Inventory
Total Marks 0
(this cluster shows all items in your inventory+total marks you have saved up)
Once you have a profile how you will be playing the game is as simple as finding the current daily post(the 1st one starts january 2nd) and entering your daily actions based on how much stamina you have and acquire through consuming various foods/drinks and resting.
Be sure to pay close attention to the stamina requirements to do each action,how much currency you have to buy items and services and what those items may do to your stamina to reduce how much is needed for each action.
Now onto some basic stats that will help you achieve your goals in the first version of this game
Each axe type will have different stamina consumption based on how you use it
For example the stone axe can cut down a tree for 6 stamina and requires 4 stamina for each log you cut from the fallen tree. It however also only has a 2 day lifecycle before the axe must be replaced(120 stamina total usage)
Speaking of trees all testers will be logging tier 1 trees with a height of 25 feet and each tree can be cut into 20 individual logs
Each player can only hold in their inventory sack 3 logs
Logs will also weigh down your movement thus requiring more stamina to move between areas on the map.
On your own it only takes .5 stamina to move through a block region
However for every log you hold your stamina per block increases by .5
Therefore a full load of logs will make each block region movement 2 stamina to travel
Luckily there will be hog mounts and carts available for rental at the lumber mill near camp to help you carry larger amounts of wood without spending as much stamina.
This game is free to play for anyone that is part of the testing and also once the game becomes available to all that wish to play however there are subscription plans available that can give you certain benefits to help you along especially if you wish to play this game with as little steem/sbd spent these will push your ability to achieve things at a faster pace than without.
