A LOT of server and client optimizations in before the next MMO beta wave (1.1.3.1)

Hey everyone,

Once again we want to thank our community for helping us to develop our game! Due to recent load tests that were performed along with our community members, we’ve managed to find some code that was not optimal. Fixing these code parts resulted in a significant server performance boost that can vary from 10% to 25%!

We’ve also implemented one of the highly-requested features by our community - an observe mode that can be used while running.


Patch notes (ver. 1.1.3.1):
New features and tweaks:
  • Implemented new Observe mode that can be enabled by hitting F3 (by default). You can now see terrain tiles altitude and block status while moving.
  • Buildings that were destroyed by decay or by siege damage now destroy all movable object on/inside those buildings. Items that were inside those buildings and movable containers are being dropped into ruins, but partially lost during collapse.
  • Server admins can now setup telnet remote connection to their server console by typing telnetSetParameters(#port#, "fullAccessPass", "readOnlyPass");
  • Updated wooden keep model

Bug fixes:
  • Managed to achieve a significant server side performance boost
  • Fixed a couple of model collision meshes to be more adequate
  • Fixed an overpowered “lance-slashing” combat technique that resulted in enormous amounts of damage
  • Creating screenshots should no longer slightly freeze your client

P.S. We’re still working hard with MMO bugs and fixes along with a new Guilds system that took us a bit longer than we’ve expected, to make it work properly. We hope that in a few weeks we will be ready to start wave #1 of the beta tests. Thanks for your patience and support!

About This Game

Life is Feudal: Your Own is a truly hardcore sandbox RPG with captivating survival aspects. Described as a real life Medieval simulator, which caters for up to 64 players on a 3km x 3km gameworld, any and all paths are an option.

Included in your purchase, all Life is Feudal:YO owners will receive one character to gain full access to Life is Feudal:MMO - coming soon.

LiF:YO places you in a realistic feudal setting with the ability to host your own private world and set your own rules to suit your playstyle. There’s an in depth crafting system, a range of building features, and free terraforming across the map - meaning you can build your own house anywhere in the world. Team up with your friends and build a village or city and repel attacks by other players who want to ransack your lands!

The unique combat system is non-target and physics-based; the direction of your attack depends on mouse movement. Basic movements and directional attacks can be combined to create deadly combos with special harmful effects. Battle formations are also a new way to collaborate and control the situation on the battlefield with your fighting team. Co-operation and a good strategy within a formation will help you prevail against the enemy.

Everything is tweakable and unique to you, including how your character progresses. The skill and stat cap system allows you to design a character moulded to fit your style perfectly, for example. Even alchemy is unique; all recipes are randomized for each character thus the only way to learn is by experimentation.

Features

Unique Features:
  • Free Terraforming & Tunnel Building. 100% free terraforming and tunnel building means you can dig tunnels, mines and moats and expand them in all dimensions barely without limit! You can raise and lower ground levels with a landfall effect. Substances include soil, rock, granite, ore veins, clay, sand, and much more
  • Battle Formation System. Strategize for massive battles and provide your units with certain bonuses with the formation system. Keep organised and inside the formation shape to continue to reap the benefits
  • Unique Alchemy Combinations. There are over 40,000,000 alchemy combinations unique to each player! You need to learn, experiment and create your very own unique combinations. Complementing the hardcore feel of the game, alchemy is not simply a matter of character skill as it strongly emphasises spending time and resources on creating good recipes and combinations
  • Full Seasonal Weather System. Much like in real life, LiF features seasonal weather that directly affects your life in this feudal world
  • Complex Food & Cooking System. Cooking is no longer a secondary or non-existent skill. Being a good cook who knows many complex and tasty recipes means that you and your friends will be better fed and will receive skill bonuses
  • Realistic Player Damage System. Based on human anatomy, with fractures and bleeding wounds, you can create unique and deadly combat tactics
  • Double Health & Stamina Bars. Double health and stamina bars represent better information about the status of your body. Players can be knocked unconscious or killed. They can also be temporarily out of breath or totally exhausted
These are only a handful of the many features that make Life is Feudal:Your Own unique and true to life in a Medieval world. With hundreds of personal choices and customizations on offer to create endless combinations, your imagination will be your only limitation.

I have to say this game isn't bad, but it definetly isn't great. The biggest problem I had with this game was how much time you have to put into it. I spent one real life hour just trying to build a small house. The game seems like it could be good, but just too much time.

So my friends and I bought this game apon its release on Steam back in 2014?

My impression of this game since then has changed, immensely.

It went from a really rough game to play, performance wise to.. a really beautiful game to enjoy.. performance, graphic, and gameplay wise over this time since I initially bought it and up until now.
The updates are weekly, and the Devs seem to be focused on the main goals. - Though with updates comes small errors sometimes, but they are quickly addressed.

I come from giving countless hours to the games like, RoK, ARK, Rust... and various other games of the sort, and in these games you can go at them solo, eventually you might succeed in time.

Unless you intend of being just a guy that makes the finest weapons in this game, even then you will need a partner to play with... so let me stop right there.

This game isn't like most games. Read the title, you see that word "Feudal"? It means a whole lot

This game will eventually make you rely on one another. It will make you want to become friends with that a##hole of a neighbor, because he has the goods you need.. and you might have the goods he needs.
(Then eventually you blast his doors down with the supplies he traded you, then you need him no more.. heheheheh!!! ^.^)

This game is a great game, it has molded into a great game. I hear stories of this "MMO" that is soon to be released, and I look forward to it.

In all honesty though, I'll likely still be playing this because I have yet to experience the full "Monty" of the game on LIF:Yo.

You can pillage, plunder, mine to the center of the earth and then drown yourself in the endless sea below.

You can beat your friends up, and get rewarded skill points for doing it.

You can be marked a criminal after constantly spying on your neighbor on his land, then go get blessed by the Holy Priest of Tamriel, go back kill your neighbor, and God still hears your prayers!

I can't even write to you all the things you can do in this game, your best bet is to just take my word for it.. It beats RoK anyday, but as in time consumption.. lol it definitly beats it.

So after this time of playing on the newly updated LIF:Yo I decided to rent a server and host some of the best events a Medeval era could have.

If you'd like to buy this game and try it out, feel free to look up this server.. it'll treat ya right!

My first life, in Life is Feudal: Your Own
(My life was feudal, it was my own)

Spawned.
Walked a bit.
Ate cookies.
Saw a guild in global chat, decided to look for them in the South.
Met up with a wanderer called Thorbjorn, travelled with him to The South.
We got hungry and tried hunting a boar.
It rekt us, and I fell into a hole with spikes and glitched into a jumping animation.
Relogged.
We decided not to hunt the boar.
Mysterious man on horseback appeared. He was silent.
Then another appeared. He started rambling and calling us mortals.
His name was Reaper. He was asked me if I was strong, I said yes. We dueled and I died.
Reaper said return to him for gifts.
I returned and found my companion.
Reaper gave us horses, armour, farming tools, weapons and food.
Me and Thorbjorn made a camp not too far from Reaper's fortress.
We got raided by The Kingdom of the North. All our supplies....gone....
We told Reaper's gang, they were on our side. Then we told the Kingdom of the South.
The South let us join, then we got free houses and I became a farmer.

This was my first time playing LiF and it was quite the adventure.
A great RPing game, with good community, and survival aspects.
If you don't mind lots and lots of hardwork, it the best medieval survival game on the market.

I absolutely love this game. Wish I had gotten it sooner, but the mixed reviews threw me off. My favorite type of game is the survival/crafting genre and this is by far the best of the bunch IMO.
You actually have to work for everything you achieve, in other words you don't have everything handed to you in the first couple days of gameplay,
Has a very deep crafting system which I love, it's more realistic and true to the era. I play only PVE and it keeps me incredibaly occupied as there is so much to do .

I highly recommend this game to those that enjoy crafting and survival.

Don't listen to the mixed reviews, if you have people to play with then it's a very fun and good game. It's the most in-depth survival game I have ever seen and I haven't even done everything yet. The combat mechanics are solid, there are a few odd bugs but other than that I have very much been enjoying my time with this masterpiece.

I highly recommend this game, its gots some bugs which still need to be ironed out such as the Memory Leak and random crashing but this is still in Alpha and these items ARE being addressed by the Devs as they work on the MMO, which I'm sure these type of fixes will be applied simultaneously to both versions. This game provides a nice balance of Survival/Builder/PVP Slasher all rolled up into one package, think Rust/ARK + Chilvarly/Mount & Blade/War of the Roses All rolled up into one grand Mediaval Simulator.

The actual gameplay itself is very fun. The sandbox experience in this game is great. Interaction with others is basically unlimited. Full loot, open trading, full pvp, everything goes. The combat is ok. It is somewhat skill based with combo's to learn and memorize, but also level based.

Here is the problem I have with the game............. Servers.
Hosts come and go, maps get reset, devs get egos, it just never ends. I found one good server that I stuck with for hours of gameplay and one day the devs shut down the server.... Just the way it is with this game.

The gameplay is great if you can find a server you enjoy.

Ive played this now for 54 hours and owned it for a week if that, I looked at the mixed reviews and figured that this game was another one of those Kickstarter scams. For years I thought this until my friend played it,

This game isnt the COD/Chivalry sort of game. It wont appeal to everyone and I advise to watch a few lets plays.
This game is complicated in comparison to most games being released today and I love it.

Would recommend this especially with the MMO coming out, hopefully it will fill that void I lost when Ultima Online went down that dark path.

Lets get this game back on track....

Reduce terraforming speed drasticaly (By 80%)
Make the progression overall quite a bit faster, afterall this is Your Own.
Keep in mind devs, you really need to find the right balance of work vs reward, right now it is so over the limit of work ther eis no real reward because most people can not handle that much work.

I built a lot in this game, and seen a lot. Please consider carefully weather or not you want to have a community ever again, listen to the players, they are who the game is for right?
