2024-05-16 07:55:59 +0000 UTCjust at chapter 61 or 62 here. i am doing a grammar edit refresh at 5 chapters a week. when i get caught up i will add 4 chapters a month. i need to refresh the story in my head since it has been so long
Erick Thiemke
2024-04-11 17:24:58 +0000 UTCAre there any new chapters?

2024-04-11 17:05:37 +0000 UTCI like this one best I think

2024-04-11 01:44:16 +0000 UTCCurious... why you paused this story?
Silver Beard
2023-11-08 19:30:32 +0000 UTCthere are two more chapters in the first arc but i have had trouble writing them. starship engineer will probably end in a few months and I will return to this
Erick Thiemke
2023-10-25 17:27:09 +0000 UTCOmg! This was an incredible read. I wish there was more. What a cliffhanger :)

2023-10-25 17:19:29 +0000 UTCThanks for the chapters!! I'm all caught up now and eagerly waiting for more.

2023-04-29 19:40:33 +0000 UTCi will alter the text to show quests without rewards listed depend on how 'well' the quest was completed. also that the MC tried his best to make the best alter and could only get very rare. and that he hopes to get another similar scroll reward
Erick Thiemke
2023-04-10 12:21:13 +0000 UTCAlso hard pass on using the scroll on a simple altar. I'd be saving that for making something legendary as if he really pours himself into the work he can make epic plans with enough effort from what we've seen.
David Zimmerle
2023-04-10 04:25:35 +0000 UTCYea I could never see a world I was living in like that with such realistic AI as "Just a game".
David Zimmerle
2023-04-10 01:22:22 +0000 UTCJust setting up some havoc for the future. The player will be on a quest, pass through Malcum, and be like wait that loud female Dwarf was named Breda….and she is the city planner….that foxkin had the same name as….where is this town lord, we need to have some words
Erick Thiemke
2023-02-21 20:53:03 +0000 UTCc53 let me guess both are in the same area?! (Hahahahahaha!! this to good)

2023-02-21 20:48:30 +0000 UTCC50... Sale, sale, sale! Sell that thing. Given his ability will just grow; and second why would you want to draw attention if you don't have the levels to defend it...which our MC does not. All I can see now is a MC swirling the toilet bowl... it's inevitable he loses... do I really want to watch him drown?!
Silver Beard
2023-01-25 06:40:56 +0000 UTCI corrected the chap number. i have to delete the entire post and then upload all the chapters to make edits on older chapters but it is done
Erick Thiemke
2023-01-22 16:34:06 +0000 UTCChapter 39 is mislabeled as chapt 38. Right content though. Will correct tonight. Thanks!
Erick Thiemke
2023-01-21 13:14:15 +0000 UTCI’m at work right now but I will check on it in a sec
Erick Thiemke
2023-01-21 12:39:43 +0000 UTCI reread the story and noticed that instead of chapter 39, chapter 38 was uploaded.
Feibel Sebastian
2023-01-21 12:38:07 +0000 UTCAnd Ch 43 looks to be less than 50 words. Looks like you didn't post 42 at all...but added whatever bit of 43 you started working on. Definite 'jump' in the story
Silver Beard
2022-11-29 05:08:02 +0000 UTCI think it was the wrong upload it only has a handful of lines
MurderByNumbers
2022-11-29 05:07:43 +0000 UTCNot seeing 42 on the attachments...
Silver Beard
2022-11-29 05:05:52 +0000 UTCTypo or wrong chapter? 40-41-43
MurderByNumbers
2022-11-29 05:04:33 +0000 UTCChap 43 posted...maybe pushing these plot elements too early. the chapter was also supposed to be around 4000 words so need some work
Erick Thiemke
2022-11-29 02:40:44 +0000 UTCOne very minor healer and the lightning mage has healing magic too. Also the angelic s have healing magic
Erick Thiemke
2022-11-24 09:14:36 +0000 UTCTown needs healers. If the garrison is coming from a fight they lost... they'll likely not be in the best shape. I haven't read about any true healers in town?!
Silver Beard
2022-11-24 08:28:59 +0000 UTCCh 41.... seeing the gnome relationship between cook and Order Mage; think he's got enough 'sprouts' to start recruiting via connections instead of just the AH. Word of mouth will always be the truest form of advertising. Surely among his newest followers...they will know of others? Save the AH bids for the exceptions.
Silver Beard
2022-11-24 08:25:23 +0000 UTCas the writer, yes! she scares me
Erick Thiemke
2022-11-20 19:50:05 +0000 UTCCh 40... already avoiding the city planner?
Silver Beard
2022-11-20 19:35:30 +0000 UTCHave to wonder though- did he not know his 'master tracker' was demon kin before he bid? I don't see her fitting well down the road and a level 142 could be a major pain the ass as much as a help
Silver Beard
2022-11-15 16:44:50 +0000 UTCCh 39... thanks for sharing. Thought the emotional bit amongst players and citizens a little off. New Master of Guilds might be a true blessing or a curse.
Silver Beard
2022-11-15 16:41:51 +0000 UTCch 38... nice cliffhanger. Kinda looks like Mad Dog and his guild aren't the fanboys he thought they were. And/or someone has very lose lips
Silver Beard
2022-11-14 19:09:50 +0000 UTCneeds a perk to upgrade or improve existing housing. I recall a few ch ago; folks asking for improvements to their homes but he brushed it off... that'll eventually come back to bite... but rebuilding the town from start every rarity seems extremely tedious. Perhaps a Class/Role perk?
Silver Beard
2022-11-08 07:50:33 +0000 UTCCh 37... loving every minute of it. Thanks for sharing. City Planner hasn't shown up but perhaps even an idiot can start to figure where the prime land will eventually be. Riverside, ofc. Time to make that fiction title pic a reality.
Silver Beard
2022-11-08 07:49:19 +0000 UTCRather think he's screwed on the home-front no matter what. Jeasmin's skills- whatever she has are going to be filled with admin stuff, after this stint, even if he finds a replacement...and then he'll eventually be micromanaged by her! Perhaps she can 'sprout' to use this as leverage?
Silver Beard
2022-11-07 20:45:54 +0000 UTCCh 36. Thanks for sharing. Town Hall was almost anti-climactic. It's still a milestone, if a small one. I'm curious he didn't immediately look to what it takes to upgrade again which could influence the NPC's he needs to hire. I can just see city planner demanding a 'real' city get completed in X amount of time, etc.
Silver Beard
2022-11-07 20:21:26 +0000 UTCI have a few days to think on it...originally he was going to upgrade Lord's Call but if I think of something else...Simba will be back to help I think
Erick Thiemke
2022-11-02 00:59:00 +0000 UTCCh 35... nice cliff. So 2nd trait... increase skill number? Leadership? Moral? What doesn't he need right now? He obviously needs to level... some boost to crafting xp would be a good fit; thanks for sharing your story
Silver Beard
2022-11-02 00:54:23 +0000 UTCbut he should work with his city planner and break ground on 3 more future 'guildhouses'... just to keep them compliant
Silver Beard
2022-11-01 13:16:49 +0000 UTCHe needs to work with his new Guild crew on a Guildhouse plan... Epic variety... to build in town for them... and after- either for sale or hush money to keep it off the market. I'm banking on hush money to start...
Silver Beard
2022-11-01 13:05:10 +0000 UTCChpt 34 (I'll have to do this to make the commentary mean something as you don't post per chapter)... He really needs to hire a city manager...he's in the clouds when he needs to be on the ground... or at least an assistant or 3 to handle the day to day shit.
Silver Beard
2022-11-01 12:56:43 +0000 UTCnext bargain he makes with mods should include a direct bug/buff to him being in the town/city... If another forces him out then there should be a huge deficit in stats/perks to every building he 'imagined' and built... In the wider world it would give more protection to crafters... losing them could lose perks associated with their creations... but to cross off the primary architect... so much more.
Silver Beard
2022-11-01 06:00:17 +0000 UTCYou may have missed an epic MC name... So..... how do you feel about 'Bob'? Lord Bob the Builder! :D
MurderByNumbers
2022-10-29 10:04:32 +0000 UTCYeah he hasn’t realized it’s a commodity…I think I am also going to go back and edit so that plans can only be used once. So he will have to redraft them….which will just require time
Erick Thiemke
2022-10-26 02:37:50 +0000 UTCCurious why he's not selling his blueprints to the Trader? Great when the Auction house is up; but seems like he's missing out on coin and prestige hoarding everything for his 'town'.
Silver Beard
2022-10-26 01:58:02 +0000 UTCchap 31 posted! going to work on chap 32 and hope to get the first dungeon delve completed in it! dont expect it too soon though...I did promise 10 advanced chapters before the end of the month...so that means I need to post 4 more chapters here in the next week and one to RR
Erick Thiemke
2022-10-25 18:39:15 +0000 UTCi just have a region map right now to jog my memory but a town map is important too! once the city planner arrives in the next wave of NPCs from the auction I will work on it! that little dwarf is going to be a handful, "Do it my way Tallis or I am outta here!"
Erick Thiemke
2022-10-25 18:36:08 +0000 UTCIf you haven't already... should be making a map of the town as the story unfolds- for accuracy. I know MC keeps putting up buildings here and there; could see you trying to make one down the road (if you haven't already); but having to reference all the tidbits you've written will be a migraine if you don't start maintaining one soon.
Silver Beard
2022-10-25 00:35:53 +0000 UTCYeah he isn’t too well versed in game mechanics and learning as he is going. On the reset his current level will be frozen for 30 game days while the early play players get free reign. I am goin to reveal the level of the NPCs in the next few chapters which should be fun. If you remember there was a player character that robbed Curraens family when they travelled to the village and killed their dog…he is coming to town soon as well
Erick Thiemke
2022-10-24 10:47:11 +0000 UTCI am worried about his leveling or lack of. If the average right now is 60 then he is severely under leveled and at risk of being taken advantage of. The reset will help but he should make plans to rectify that once the game goes public or be at the mercy of players and trolls. I hope he realizes that without having his town utterly destroyed. Maybe jaesmin being killed by a random player would open his eyes to the danger.

2022-10-24 04:37:19 +0000 UTCThanks, planning to add Chapters on Town Builder to Patreon on Wed, Thurs and Fri this week to get 4 chapters ahead of royal road. Working on starship engineer tonight and tomorrow
Erick Thiemke
2022-10-03 22:10:33 +0000 UTCThis is the good stuff
David Zimmerle
2022-10-03 03:02:06 +0000 UTCHi Geoffrey, two new chapters for town builder due to be completed on Sunday for Town Builder. One will be posted on royalroad and the other just here. I am trying to get 10 chapters up on Starship Engineer before getting ten chapters ahead on this story. The plan is to have 10 advanced chapters here before the end of October.
Erick Thiemke
2022-09-27 17:56:48 +0000 UTCLooking forward to the new chapters. Just got to your most recent update on RR and was hoping to feed the addiction. I’ll check out your other stories and see if they’ll hold me over.
