| 00:00 - 00:05 | People kept saying on the forums the late game was boring |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | and not really worth playing. |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | Someone suggested that the game would be |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | much more interesting with a small finite map without resouces. |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | And Jason goes: I think it's a great idea! |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | A great idea! |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | A great idea! |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | Before anyone could say anything he had it out on an update |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | A great idea! |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | He put a hole around players, called it the Rift and expected players to cooperate |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | Did zero balancing or planning beforehand |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | The map was too small to support towns so everyone just kept starving |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | Over and over again! |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | Tons of babies running after starving mothers and dying |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | New players were like what the heck is this game |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | The player count dropped to half within a month |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | A great idea! |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | He remade the map so all ok now right? |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | Griefers spent the next weeks chopping off junipers and killing sheep |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | chopped so many we spent a week playing without fire. |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | the entire server |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | eating nothing but bananas and wild berries. |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | But then he fixed it |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | he added hungry work and stopped the juniper chopping |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | and families started living longer |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | long enough to be killed by feral eves. |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | feral eves |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | they kept spawning over and over again |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | you couldn't curse them so they just kept coming back nonstop. |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | A great idea! |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | It was so bad.. |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | so bad.. |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | It was so bad it people had to do fences |
| 02:17 - 02:20 | all around the town, over and over again |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | entire lives spent hitting property fences with rocks and looking for rope for gates. |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | Over and over again? |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | Over and over again |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | He called it rich and interesting interations. |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | we couldn't believe our ears. |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | Eventually he declared the experient complete |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | And he finally removed it? |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | He removed the rift and the player count recovered |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | it was great and everyone was stoked for the game again |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | what a happy ending |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | And then next week he added tool slots |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | the player count went up and he immediately did it again |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | with Jason no one can accuse him of being boring |
