Bought the game, day 45, first impressions + question

[Draken]

[copied from my post on google groups]Overall it's good. Still a beta, still a lot missing (need more depth), but you can see this is going places.The good :Exploration. Discovering all the possibilities of tools and combinations. Relaxing gameplay. Nice graphic style.The bad :Trees hide stuff and prevent them from being looted. Having an army of pigs is too noisy and gets annoying fast. Pigs try to attack tentacles but can't and get killed... either let them attack, or let them follow me when i run away from tentacles.The ugly :I am now nearly on day 50 and i haven't won yet... Where is this going? What should i do? Explored the whole island, food is not a problem i have both carrot and meat farms and coffers full with them. I cleared the whole island of spiders and put the eggs safely in a box. Researched everything, made everything, every hat, backup voodoo doll for revival. BUT HOW DO I WIN?I'd hate to have to die (suicide, because i can't die at this point from anything) just to see my score... Please tell me there is an endgame... ?(If not, do i need to die/suicide in order to play the other characters?)

There is no end in the game yet, but if you die now, you unlock another character, and one after that aswwell(but THAT one requires a total of 100+days survival previous character included :/)You can also move the camera with the arrow keys.

There isn't even a mid-game yet. Which is bad because you'll have to wait for the game to be finished, but GOOD because that means this is just the tip of the iceberg, and lot's of contents are planned for the future.PS: Yes, you have to die to unlock the new characters, but don't rush into it yet because they aren't THAT different. The only thing that changes right now is how they look and what they say (which is very fun to read, I admit).

On twitter they mentioned a update this Thursday so I'd wait till then.

[Draken]

1) Do i need 100 days on a single character, or 100 days combined from all characters?2) Do we know what's in the thursday update?

No idea, they just said it should be ready by thursday.

You need around 40 days for Willow, and around 80+ for Wendy, so to unlock both in a single game you need around 100 days survival
