Same here, this is in my top 5 favorite audio games for sure. I'll be over the moon if it gets updated.

Hi.
Please, Aprone, could You remove this problem with language issue?
It means, that We must switch language to English, because It doesn't view everything and there are misstakes, for example pressing left arrow on Tall grass It says terrain of. not terrain of tall grass.
Could You look on It?
Thank You.

Lol, that's why I never played online, but I think I might have said that somewhere before in here.

Hey there,

I got a short question, is the current Castaways server still being reseted every month? So that I have to start from scratch?
Thanks for an answer.

damb wish he would make it persistent...

@EagleEarEntertainment, some buildings and jobs are only available a few days of the week. Every Wednesday for example, the factory becomes available with a few jobs such as the ability to steam eggs, where you can make five eggs with only one firewood instead of needing one firewood per egg. You'll also be able to build a castle and a city later in the week, plus some more jobs will pop up in the factory which will let you mine much more efficiently.

So, does anyone play on the multiplayer side anymore?
I'm playing the single game and loving it, but I'm curiousabout the online version.
Is the server dead or are some people still playing?

Well said, I completely agree. I'm still holding out hope that an updated offline version will surface one day. I love this game, and that's high praise from me since I've become quite picky about which audio games I like and that actually hold my interest over time. This is one of the few that has. While I don't really play it anymore due to the limitations of the offline version, it's still a truly great game.

I wonder why Aprone wouldn't change it around.
All the time I've been on here, he's been so great about developing, and fixing things if we asked.
I wonder if we could contact him some other way, like on his website, and make a request.

And maybe we'd not leave our houses, never work again and just live in his world.
Until we all starve.

If he worried we'd never leave his server I think he slightly overdid it. There are barely people online anymore. Yes, the server is still up, but it might as well not be considering the attention this game gets these days. I would love to play more, but being close to alone on the server makes for a rather dull experience. The reason for resetting the server is that at some point players would get too powerful and there wouldn't be much point to go against them in either way. Competing with them in terms of high score would be impossible as stronger players would have an easier time getting a better score. Even if Aprone only reset the score, people with 20 factories, for example, would have a clear advantage, if they got to keep all their stuff. Now, if weather patterns were added to the game, people could lose stuff randomly. This could replace a reset, but losing things is what repelled people from the concept of resets in the first place. Attacks fall into the same category. If there were no disasters, resets or attacks, people would just be able to keep building up things, which would get boring after some time I reckon. After all, if there is no greater goal to be reached, what is the purpose of playing the game? Because if some people managed to get an enormous score, which would eventually happen without any reset, new players wouldn't even have to try working on their scores. Keep in mind that trying and failing to come up with a new approach to fix this problem is what lead Aprone to quit the development of this project, which is why, danielpicard, no new version of this game has been released for more than a year, meaning that the version on Aprone's website is indeed the latest one. I think that's quite a shame, since Castaways II can be quite fun and would have had great potential for more content.
