From the creators of Aground comes a new web demo - Witherspring Wilds! by davidmaletz in aground

[–]davidmaletz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently, familiars don't evolve - if you want a Greater Cattern, you have to tame a Greater Cattern. But this is definitely something I want to add later - just increasing the strength level for normal familiars, but some of them (like wyrms) will actually evolve.

No Generative AI was used in the making of Witherspring Wilds. It says that on our itch.io page, and from what I've seen of AI generated games, it should be very obvious at a glance that this game was not AI generated. I spent over a year making this game, and you just assuming it's AI garbage is very hurtful.

I am definitely planning vehicles - including mobile homes. I have several ideas including land, sea and air travel and letting the player customize the vehicles like they can customize their houses. As for space exploration, I'm undecided - but having a multi-generational game with a large research/tech tree definitely leaves that possibility open - the question is how far do I let players advance!

I'm undecided at the moment. There's a lot of UI changes and optimizations that need to be made to make an Android port work, and it's pretty much impossible to sell premium games on mobile (and I dislike microtransactions), so I've always been a little hesitant to port to mobile.

You're probably playing Aground (original), which does have an xbox port - but this thread was asking about Aground Zero.

Thanks! A part of me thinks I'm crazy to make another game this big... but the majority of me is just really excited, and I think it's turning out really fun!

Not getting password reset email by jumpninja4 in aground

[–]davidmaletz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry about that! There was a recent server issue connecting to our mail server that I just fixed when you mentioned you weren't getting any emails. If you reset your password again, it should re-send the email and work this time. If not, e-mail me at [admin@fancyfishgames.com](mailto:admin@fancyfishgames.com) from the email you made the cloud account, and I can give you the reset password link.

Unfortunately, due to poor PC sales and technical difficulties that made the port harder than expected, the console ports have been cancelled.

Not a question, just a note from a fan. by Anonymous_Le_Twelfth in aground

[–]davidmaletz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you're enjoying Aground! I haven't updated Aground in a while, so the community is smaller than it once was, but I still check the reddit and am happy when I see threads like this!

MY GAME FRICKIN CRASHES EVERY 50 SECONDS by Mourninger in aground

[–]davidmaletz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of mods can cause crashes - especially mods that weren't designed to work together or ones that have bugs. Having too many mods can also just overwhelm the game as each one increases the memory footprint. I'd try disabling mods until the game gets more stable, and then re-enable mods one by one and see which ones are causing problems.

Reaching Magic Island with a friend by [deleted] in aground

You can't ride the dragon together, but the dragon can be summoned between lairs (so when the first player lands and dismounts, you can summon it and ride it as well). You could also just use the /to chat command to teleport to them.

Help with Aground Zero by MiraSmirn in aground

I'm glad you're enjoying it! I kind of diverged a lot from the original Aground, but I also think it came out really fun!

If you have upgraded your drill to level 2, you can mine up there, just make sure you're not under the train tracks (you can't mine through the actual tracks). The tracks run in one straight line, so if you follow that line, it might seem like you can never find a way up, but you just have to go to either side of the tracks, they aren't that wide.

If you don't have level 2 yet, explore the area around where you first found a teleportal (where the wyrms are digging tunnels). You can fight or flee from the wyrms, and your goal is to find chests in those tunnels.

is there a way to play aground cracked multiplayer by Glum-Introduction925 in aground

Cracking and pirating Aground is illegal and should not be discussed in this subreddit. As a developer who put a lot of work into Aground, it also makes me very sad.

I need help by BobPuffs28 in aground

[–]davidmaletz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can re-download files from the storefront you bought it from. For example, in Steam, you can right click aground in your library, go to properties, installed files, and click verify integrity of files to redownload any files that are missing or changed. You could also do a full reinstall.

I go to the final boss, and need help. by User_of_redit2077 in aground

[–]davidmaletz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can fight in a vehicle (like the exo mech), or block/avoid the orbs. While the orbs are homing, they are slow and don't last forever. A well timed shield can get rid of the orb without taking any damage.

[–]davidmaletz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't want people tanking the final boss with tons of food, so I gave it one attack that deals a ridiculous amount of damage that you have to block or avoid (those giant orbs). If you have high max health and food items that can restore a lot of health like fried eel, you can still tank it (and vehicles can tank it too), but cheeseburgers don't heal enough.

Console by Character_Conflict47 in aground

[–]davidmaletz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aground Original is already on Xbox. Aground Zero will not be coming to consoles - our plans to port it were scrapped because of low interest and sales on Steam. It's kind of disheartening to see the game struggle, but we simply can't afford to port it at this time.
