I imagine with a little more time, this could be a cool game.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>If I was to give one piece of advice, it would be to speed this game up. The slow interaction and slow walk speed had a big impact on how the game felt. I imagine speeding it up would make it pretty fun."},{"author_name":"H1S2","author_uid":"40166","time":"Sep 3, 2014 @ 9:10am","epoch":1409735100,"text":"The controls are bit choppy and I got a little bit confused with the Error Message saying you don't have enough Arcadium although the price is 0.

The teleporters use a thing called arcacium to run. Also, in order to keep warm, you'll need to run a furnace by putting coal in it near each character. To use a workbench or a furnace for crafting, just stand facing it and open the crafting menu.\r\n\r\nI didn't get as many features added as I would have liked to (food and hunger were planned but never added), so the game is a little bit incomplete. Also, currently, there is no win condition, only a lose condition. The unofficial goal is to make all 4 characters an iron hammer.\r\n\r\nControls:\r\nWASD - move\r\nSpace - hit tree, stone, etc.\r\nSpace - pick up item\r\ne - put coal in furnace (while facing furnace)\r\nt - open\/close teleporter menu (while facing teleporter)\r\n1-4 - set teleporter destination (while in teleporter menu)\r\nSpace - move item to\/from teleporter (while in teleporter menu)\r\nEnter - activate teleporter (while in teleporter menu)\r\nc - open\/close crafting menu\r\nSpace - craft (while in crafting menu)\r\ni - open\/close inventory\r\nSpace - place\/use item (while in inventory)\r\n1-4 or q - switch between islands","title":"Resource Islands"}
