Time is constantly passing. The same is true in The Void. Time in Fringe Planet is measured in four ways: hours, days, seasons and drifts. Time can play an important factor in many aspects of the game providing unique bonuses and opportunities. Hours Every day consists of 25 hours. Every hour has a specific name,
This week, I look at the final thing that makes every peon unique – traits. I’ve discussed how the peon stats work and also gone into details about how memories work. Traits are unique characteristics of a peon, that can change their stats as well as tweaking the AI brain the peon has. Traits come
Continuing from last weeks blog post, this week I’ll talk more about another aspect of the peons – their memories. The peons arrive in Fringe Planet with no memory of who they were from their time on Earth. They will have vague recollections of things that have happened in their past – but it will
Every peon is unique. With the number of permutations there are most likely trillions of different peons that you may encounter while playing Fringe Planet. I’ve had a few questions about some of the basic mechanics behind Fringe Planet, and though everything is in the blog – I thought it would be awesome to do
A bit of a different blog post today – with all the events going on in the world currently, I thought I’d share my experiences with remote working/working from home. I’ve been working from home for about 15 years or so. It’s something I’ve been very lucky with – I’ve worked with a lot of
The time has finally arrived! Merchandise for Fringe Planet is now available. I’ve had a lot of fun getting these ready and designing various things for the store. So before I go into a lengthy discourse about my reasoning (so you may just want to click this and forget about rest of the blog post!)
Trish had been acting strangely for days now. She had locked herself in the workshop, refusing meals and not sleeping. She was clearly building something, but we had no idea what. She had nearly died a week ago, when she had got lost in a very sudden snow storm. Thankfully, we had found her –
The universe of Fringe Planet is dangerous one. The peons have the odds stacked against them, which is why it is your job as a player to keep them alive (or don’t, try and kill them in amusing ways, I won’t judge!). Dangerous creatures will try and kill the peons. Rituals will cause harm and
That old radio we had found months ago was playing music again – a distorted and static-filled version of some classical piece none of us could place. It managed to be both refreshing as well as creepy. We had been living here for over a year now. Stuart, one of the first of the group
We found it in the snow. On it’s side laying there like it had been there a few days. We brought it back home – letting it dry in front of the central fire in our dining area. A radio, in this crazy place! How did such a thing get here? Presumably in the same
