# Emberwild 0.6.0 playtest

Thanks for playing. This build is the **Valley** and the **Cove**, and
we'd like to know what breaks, what's confusing, and what's no fun. The
game's player guide is on the download page: https://emberwild-95k.pages.dev

## Reporting a bug

Press **Esc** in the game, then **Report a bug**:

- **Open the bug report page** opens a new issue on the Emberwild Gitea page
  in your browser, already filled in with your version, computer, mode,
  land, the in-game time and where you are. Say what happened, what you
  expected, and how to make it happen again, then press **Create Issue**.
  Posting needs a (free) account on the Gitea server, and you need to be
  signed in. Nothing is sent from the game itself.
- **Copy the details** puts the same details on your clipboard, if you'd
  rather send them by message.
- **Show the log file** opens the folder with `godot.log`. For a crash or an
  error message, attach it to the issue (drag it into the comment box).
  `godot.log` is the latest run; the last few runs before it are kept
  beside it, named with the date and time.

Where the log is:

| | |
|---|---|
| Mac | `~/Library/Application Support/Godot/app_userdata/Emberwild/logs/godot.log` |
| Windows | `%APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\Emberwild\logs\godot.log` |
| Linux | `~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/Emberwild/logs/godot.log` |

A screenshot helps for anything that looks wrong (Cmd+Shift+4 on a Mac,
Win+Shift+S on Windows).

One problem per issue, please; a second issue is better than a long one.

## What to try

Play however you like; these are the parts that are new or that we'd most
like tried.

**The Valley**
- The tutorial with Old Tam (New World, Tutorial), or start a normal world
  and listen for his tips.
- Make a camp, survive a few nights, a winter, a wolf moon.
- Iron, stone building, the barrow, the standing stones and the Old Stag.
- Out on the clifftop, the cracked seam: dig the cliff tunnel down to the
  Cove (an antler pickaxe, wood to prop it, lights).

**The Cove (new in 0.6.0)**
- The wreck at the far end of the beach: the captain's sea chest has a
  treasure map for each player. Right-click the map, find your X (N for the
  map), and dig it up with a pickaxe. Don't dig at night, or do.
- The pier: mackerel close in, cod from the far end.
- Gulls, after food on the sand and fish on a smoking rack.
- Crabs on the beach from dusk till dawn.
- Build a rowing boat (seagrass rope, pitch from pine resin and salt,
  driftwood and nails, at a workbench) and tie it up at the end of the pier.

**Online**
- Host Game from the title screen, and have a friend join. Over the
  internet, forward UDP ports **24242** and **24243** (the Cove has its own
  server on the next port).
- Go between the lands together and apart, chat, sleep (everyone in every
  land has to be in bed), and leave and come back.

## Not in this build (these aren't bugs)

- **Setting sail.** The boat ties up but can't leave yet: the Highlands are
  the next part of the journey.
- **Pirate gold** has no use yet beyond being a trophy: there's no trader.
- **The ship's compass** does nothing yet; it's what the boat will need.

## Things we'd especially like to hear

- Anywhere you got stuck, or didn't know what to do next.
- Anything that felt too hard, too easy, or too slow (night, hunger, cold,
  the drowned crew, the crabs).
- Frame-rate drops, and on what computer.
- Anything online that went out of step between players.
