NIGHTMARES of the YARD

[vague terrace]

with the current state of the playground ima not continue. It just doesnt make sense

i wanted to set up broodmother arena, you cant

cuz broodmother will not shut up until you kill her (she will try to kill you even if you are on the other side of the map 😭 )

bugs dont respawn

timers are resseting when you reload the world

spawners dont remember that they spawned

its just stupid u know

NIGHTMARES of the YARD [Cancelled For Now.]

ima just wait for a patch or smth

idk

its groundever

😔

[ripe cape]

oof

weeeeellll, when they update their game its another round of trying i suppose lol

[unkempt edge]

Make the brood spawn in only if the player is close enough and if they get too far then it despawns

[vague terrace]

You cant connect more then 1 link to a spawner

[unkempt edge]

Does the boss respawn or something?

[vague terrace]

WAIT IM STUPID

[vague terrace]

this will work what u sayed here

my bad 😭

i forgot u can do more then 1 action in 1 link

u so smart

[vague terrace]

hello friends

due to the new patch

i can work!!!!!

Finally no more issues!

whos happy!

NIGHTMARES of the YARD [Back on track!]

[arctic hamlet]

Do resources respawn now?!?!?

[vague terrace]

they allways do respawned, i was just stupid

but bugs and timers were bugged

they fixed the timer

but not bug spawner

i hope they added to placed bugs respawn

NIGHTMARES of the YARD [idk :( ]

[vague terrace]

ehh theres a 1 issue still

and those are long range bugs like wolf spiders or ladybugs

cuz with the system thinny, u need to kill all bugs from 1 spawner

what if like 1 will go to the other side of the map lol

i guess ima wait for a patch or its implemented that placed bugs respawn? idk from what i tested they dony

dont*

soooooo, ima work on it still but also wait for the either a option to make bugs respawn, or to fix bug spawner (playground forgets that specific bugs were from a spawner after reloading the world leading to a lot of problems.)

srry if my english is trash hah

[arctic hamlet]

Really…? I played through my own map to test and none of the spawnables like sprigs or plant fibre ever respawned…

[vague terrace]

those dont

but the destroyable ones do

[unkempt edge]

@vague terrace if you maybe set up a respawn like after a certain time the creature will despawn then respawn or if a trigger box is triggered it despawns all then respawns all (the trigger could be at the edge of there meant to roam radius)

[arctic hamlet]

Awh alr :/

[vague terrace]

Idk

NIGHTMARES of the YARD

Okay guys if they gonna add respawnable bugs or fix the bug spawner, ima start on the map. It will be good i promise

Ima work on the map acctually now but without bugs

(For now)

🙂

I apologise for keeping delaying it, I want to make a perfect experience for ya all.

I promise it will be good at the end.

[keen sinew]

There’s places to promote your playground and it definitely isn’t here 👍

[vague terrace]

This

[azure karma]

items wont

resources will

corw feathers and stuff i think

[grave lodge]

@vague terrace
Problem solved 👍

[vague terrace]

Huh

@grave lodge what do you mean? Sorry I dont get u

[grave lodge]

@vague terrace
Nah, I keep stopping by to see if you published it. And last time I did I figured I'd shoot my playground out there in case anyone wanted something to play till you release it. But I got some backlash (rightfully so I guess) cuz I'm sure it looked like I was trying to capitalize on the success and anticipation of your game. But I deleted the post.

But still looking forward to when you release. I'll keep checking back

[vague terrace]

Oooh, its okay. Im working On the map bur still waiting for bug respawning feature.

But*

[grave lodge]

@vague terrace is that feature confirmed and coming soon?
I was going to say, for the time being you could always use trigger volumes. And maybe a ≤ to create a makeshift one. Just a thought.
But yeah, if you ever run into some down time and would like to run through mine, just let me know buddy

[vague terrace]

Whatever machanism you do it will not work like in grounded way because the spawners are "broken"

Also idk if they confirmed it or not, but my friend told me they were talking abaut bugs respawning in casusally grounded

[grave lodge]

@vague terrace
Oh I got ya. That sucks man. So I assume that the next patch will address this

[vague terrace]

Im working on the map but without bugs for now

[grave lodge]

@vague terrace
That's how they should've done it, just a setting inside the spawners.

[vague terrace]

hello. Here is a note from my nightmares of the yard server

sorry if i maded any grammar mistakes.

[vague terrace]

#suggestions-old message

this suggestion would be really usefull. If you want please upvote, it will help a lot 😉

[keen sinew]

Looking good bro

[vague terrace]

Good news! They fixed the glitch (nvm)

[lilac latch]

Yipeee

[compact ermine]

yyayayyaayayayayayayayyayyayayyyyayayayya

I love devs caring about us

[vague terrace]

NIGHTMARES of the YARD [Back on track]

i tested it out

Well bruh its still not fixed

idk what is wrong but they still didnt fixed it

ima report the glitch and just stop waiting. Im the only one who realized that?

NIGHTMARES of the YARD

Ima stil work on the playground dont worry.

Just without bugs (for now)

[vague terrace]

Hello! There are some votes about my playground in my discord server about nightmares of the yard. If u want to join DM me or ping.

Also good news, the bug will most likely be fixed next patch.

Today i will post more teasers 👀

NIGHTMARES of the YARD [Back on track!]

Again, I apologise for the wait. I just dont want to release a glitchy playground for you all.

[unkempt edge]

Mate a glitchy playground would have been good enough (stupidly) the devs didn't make playgrounds with the idea of people making survival maps

I honestly don't know why I mean what do you expect is gonna happen

[vague terrace]

@unkempt edge Tbh they just need to fix the spawner and u can make fully working survival

[merry mural]

tbh this looks really good, i'd love to see a differant interpatation of the story, can't wait to play the map

[vague terrace]

Thanks! Wanna join my server?

I post exclusive teasers on here sometimes

[merry mural]

sure

[lilac latch]

Someone called?

[vague terrace]

Huh

[lilac latch]

Nvm

[merry mural]

Took me 4 minutes to realise you said that becuadr exclusive is your name

[lilac latch]

Lmao

[vague terrace]

OOOH BAHAHHA

[livid crypt]

Will there be a code once it is done

[vague terrace]

Yes ofc

[azure karma]

👏

very nice designing

[vague terrace]

this is a biome called stinkbug wastelands, its a "dead" looking biome with bombardiers, mites and ofc stinkbugs around.

[vague terrace]

it also has a tree. But idk if its a seperate biome or not

[azure karma]

sounds awesome

[lusty junco]

i really cant wait for this project to be released

[lilac latch]

Nice!

[vague terrace]

We need to stop ominent

Its all because of him

we need to reveal their secrets

WE NEED TO LEAVE

[vague terrace]

tree mini biome

[vague terrace]

Hello. If anyone is wondering when will NIGHTMARES release, well i did like 15% of the map or more LOL

it will prop. release 2024 (early)

[azure karma]

raaah

[vague terrace]

since i will not be ready to release nightmares of the yard before christmas, here is a nice wallpaper for you all 🙂

NIGHTMARES of the YARD [Code coming soon!]

NIGHTMARES of the YARD [Early access coming soon!]

NIGHTMARES of the YARD [Coming soon]

NIGHTMARES of the YARD [Code coming soon!]

LOL

dont mind it

[plucky osprey]

At this point add everything to the title LMAO

NIGHTMARES of the YARD [Code coming soon][Early acess coming soon][Back on track][Canceled for now][WIP][Delayed for now]

[livid crypt]

Gotcha

[vague terrace]

Sure

[vague terrace]

(sorry if thats annoying)

[plucky osprey]

No lmao its okay just funny

[vague terrace]

once i will finish up the 2nd biome, i will publish the code to everyone to playtest! i decided to do it for even better feedback.

it will be like grounded at early acces release, not 100% comepleted but there are gonna be some bugs and secrets to discover.

Update - the code will be most likely to release at very early 2024

[livid crypt]

I'll check it at march

[vague terrace]

will release quicker

[livid crypt]

Don't rush

[lilac latch]

Fr

[vague terrace]

Ima not dont worry, Im just like 90% sure i will finish quicker

I have a lot of stuff planned

Like many MANY Sidequests

End game stuff

Easter eggs

Cool features

If I gonna need a delay ima delay it

Guys who gonna play the playground when I gonna release it

[unkempt edge]

🙋‍♂️

[livid crypt]

Same

[vague terrace]

So yeah its confirmed that there are gonna be tons of sidequests and easter eggs

(Easter eggs aka secret stuff)

[vague terrace]

Thanks 🙂 ima try my best

[fast pasture]

If you get time....build an actual Easter Egg on the map somewhere

[vague terrace]

Sure LOL

[lilac latch]

Nice, I have little secrets all over cracks and spots in the map I'm making

It's just fun to find them

[vague terrace]

i plan to add like 20 of easter eggs and sidequests XD

(both combined)

[lilac latch]

Saame

[vague terrace]

also we hit 40 reactions LOL

[lilac latch]

Yippee

[vague terrace]

btw the first 3 biomes look better then i expected

my next area ima make is either a wet area or infected area wich will be REALLY interesting

[lilac latch]

Yeah I can tell by the screenshots. Lookin nice!

[vague terrace]

infected area will be like the end game area, i dont want to reveal why for now

i mean it will be tier 2 and tier 3 biomes at the same time

[lilac latch]

I actually asked Weevil Wrangler if I could have some simple house builds, I'm making a neighborhood of sorts

[vague terrace]

depends in what part of the infected area you are

[lilac latch]

Huh

[vague terrace]

so theres gonna be the save area for newbies and the one for endgame stuff

safe*

i mean its not safe but u get me

[lilac latch]

Cool

Lol

[vague terrace]

(btw the infected area will be the most perfect place for ziplines 👀 )

[vague terrace]

🙂

who un-reacted 😠

[vague terrace]

All 4 bosses will be in nightmares somewhere. They gonna have unique arenas

Also created a dead tree

Wich is gonna be a part of a infected biome

(There are gonna be multiple infected areas)

[unkempt edge]

We still have 40

Now at least

[vague terrace]

arenas planned for bosses -
Lush cave for broodmother
Flower Oasis for mantis
Infected cave for IBM
Wooden castle (Yes it will be back) for wasp queen

[azure karma]

Sounds very cool

[fiery cipher]

[vague terrace]

Mant will be somewhere hehe

[vague terrace]

THE UNROTTING EXPERIMENT

A special type of raw science!

we added it to rotted food. We speculate that it will unrot the food!

AH! THIS IS A DISASTER!

[ripe cape]

id be down to playtest your world when the code comes live 🙂

[unkempt edge]

Technically the ||haze fungus was an experiment with raw science and the small mushrooms to see if it might work as a cure for the raisening||

[bitter cloak]

what about some sort of fallen/destroyed castle for the IBM instead, that way the arena is a bit more unique

[west mango]

yes

[unkempt edge]

Yes I want that

Please

🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

[vague terrace]

Eeeeeee aaa uuuummm eeeeh a

[vague terrace]

I know, but in this yard the haze fungus was created this way

[vague terrace]

Sure i will try but idk where I will place it...

I need to make a 2nd infected area somewhere then

Also how would i make a castle?

I wanted to make a cave with a big infected fungus in the middle

And make it look cool

I mean sure i can create a "castle" but what castle? Like you dont have a moldorc castle prop or anythin, the closest is the sandbox castle

Wich ima not do cuz the sand area is for antlions mostly, ima not make it infected

@unkempt edge Ima just make a cave and make it as best as possible, sorry I guess?

Seriously No idea

What abaut a castle, but underground??

@bitter cloak @unkempt edge

The haze is from the rotted food in this yard, to clear the toxic gas u need to destroy every roted food in the infected area

[azure karma]

That looks sick

Very epic

[vague terrace]

IBM fight will be more annoying

because now, IBM spawns minions, wich are infected gnats and infected weevils

infected weevils are not a big deal if you are carefull, but infected gnats can mess up your fight a lot

in the middle of the arena, theres a gigant infected tree, when IBM roars, the tree spawns the minions

3 infected weevils and 2 infected gnats

there are some cool effects and stuff in the fight

[keen sinew]

This is a awesome idea that I will be piniching in some way never thought to add spawns to boss sounds very cool

[vague terrace]

@keen sinew remember to keep the fight balanced

[keen sinew]

Never 😎

[vague terrace]

hehe

[keen sinew]

Infected brood moth will spawn a extra brood mother after every phase 💀

Balance

[vague terrace]

bro 💀

[keen sinew]

Truly infinite

[vague terrace]

i think ima add some spawn to mantis, but what

i mean mantis will summon something

maybe mites but idk

dust ones

[keen sinew]

I’m definitely going to have extra spawns in the termite king fight

[vague terrace]

i dont think theres a option for termite king

[keen sinew]

I might even have multiple termite kings about

Wdym

You can spawn him right

[vague terrace]

i mean you can spawn termite king, but theres like no setting in the attack gizmo for termite king

[keen sinew]

Just spawn like 2 termite soldiers at the same times as the king no need for the sound trigger

The king and his royal guard

[vague terrace]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

i get ya now

ima keep termite king as a normal bug

[keen sinew]

Yeah I wanna just make him a tough normal enemy in some areas

[vague terrace]

(ibm spoilers)

[bitter cloak]

you could add some broken castle pieces or somethin

that might work

some minotaur maze walls lining the cave walls, some fallen tot he ground

[vague terrace]

@bitter cloak i did but, IBM was getying stuck in stupid places

Just accept thencave

Cave*

[unkempt edge]

:((((((

[vague terrace]

Sory man

[unkempt edge]

Like why not use the minator maze pieces

To make the walls of the castle

🥺👉🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

[vague terrace]

IBM was getting stuck inside of those bruh

[unkempt edge]

Why not use blocking volunes

[vague terrace]

I dont think those work for insects

But idk

But why do u want a castle thing so much lol

[unkempt edge]

Have you seen the new map in #1173692003020705812

[unkempt edge]

It sounds nicer than a freaking cave ok

[vague terrace]

@unkempt edge Just to warn ya, bugs glith/dont move when too high up

[unkempt edge]

I'm pretty sure I'm not too high for that

[vague terrace]

I mean yeah u r right but are there any better options, like i told ya IBM would get stuck in those props

Sorry just accept the cabe

Cave*

@unkempt edge Is it fine

[unkempt edge]

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!

[vague terrace]

Also yes it is, originally i wanted to make tree explorable but turns out bugs doesnt move at all

[unkempt edge]

😦

[vague terrace]

: |

Bruh

[unkempt edge]

What I don't like caves ok

[vague terrace]

@unkempt edge

Listen

Theres 1 big infected area in the middle of the map

And its tier 2 area

And theres a cave wich ima make tier 3n

Its where IBM is

@unkempt edge IBM has jumping and other type of moves, she can get stuck easly

[unkempt edge]

Your acting as though in not the ibm

I am

[vague terrace]

But like why do u hate a cave? I know its not original but I had it in plans I dont want to mess up it because u want a castle stuff in it, I also want to add realizm, it wouldnt just make sense. @unkempt edge Just accept the cave k?

[unkempt edge]

It's cramped it's dark and it's lame

[unkempt edge]

Ok I'll accept the cave

[vague terrace]

@unkempt edge Acctually

Ima try to add some castle vibes

Ok?

And creepy vibes to it

[unkempt edge]

Yay

[bitter cloak]

hope it goes well

[vague terrace]

@bitter cloak

[bitter cloak]

beautiful

[bitter cloak]

lush cavern do be lookin good

[vague terrace]

@bitter cloak i recreated the grounded boss system

[vague terrace]

the trailer is here. Special thanks to @still tundra ! Make sure to check his #1174193974014128189 message (Project A.N.T) (i did a mistake, it should be parallel, not paraller, its not Sammy's fault)

apologies if the trailer footage is low quality in some parts, its not Tobey's fault but mine (the stupid 25 MB limit)

[rough crest]

can't waaaaait

[unkempt edge]

For the boss arenas you could make it so you need to grab something in the map before fighting it

[ripe cape]

@vague terrace not a bad trailer 🙂 cant wait to play! also Merry Christmas everyone ! 🙂

[bitter cloak]

woah

I cant wait for this to release so I can die 1,000,001 times

[vague terrace]

There are gonna be side quests to unlock boss arenas

[arctic hamlet]

Damn nice :D

[livid crypt]

@bitter cloak same here

[vague terrace]

huh

[livid crypt]

Your project, I'm not good at whoa mode

[vague terrace]

i dont get ya

[livid crypt]

I always die in whoa mode

[keen sinew]

Is this the underground pond area? Looks awesome

[vague terrace]

underwater cave systems\

@keen sinew its gonna be splitted into 2 parts 1 is gonna be tier 2 and the 2nd one tier 3

[vague terrace]

I think koi fish will be a great guard

[vague terrace]

You know you are not hurting me right?

[unkempt edge]

Hmm yes hurtning

[vague terrace]

yes

[vague terrace]

Happy new year

[last junco]

Love the use of the Ash Tray 👌

[vague terrace]

ye

[viral kestrel]

This looks amazing and way better than anything I've seen! Great job and how did u fix the bugs not respawning thing? I cant seem to make them respawn without making some big system for each bug in my shed survival map.

[unkempt edge]

Okay turn off friendly fire
Now wheres my blaster?

[vague terrace]

im taking a break from this project for a short ammount of time because i have some life issues going around recently.

ima rework the tree when ima be back

[vague terrace]

still waiting for a fix

[rough crest]

hey budy, can you tell us when your playground will be out ? 🙂

[vague terrace]

i dont know at all

this year im 100% sure

but when exactly? i dont know

[rough crest]

ok ok, take your time

[vague terrace]

im taking a short break, for now decide if I should do A) Termite area + Sand area B) Black ox area + Wasp area first?

(Theres also the same vote on my server and ima count 2 of them)

When ima be done with my playground ima release the code for you guys to playtest and give the most honest feedback. After fixing the issues ima release a full version

[bitter cloak]

[lilac latch]

[vague terrace]

A won

[vague terrace]

important question, cuz the time of a day thinny sucks (yeah another STUPID ISSUE) ima make fireflies also avaible during the day. Is that fine?

[bitter cloak]

it seems fine to me

[arctic hamlet]

Why doesn’t it work..?

[vague terrace]

theres a lot to explain but lets just say Bed breaks everything

[unkempt edge]

Why he have gill tube?

[fast pasture]

Oxygen levels be really low at that height

[unkempt edge]

If only you could do that that would be so cool

[fast pasture]

Add a DoT volume high up so you'll need a gas mask 🙂

[unkempt edge]

Yeah
Hmmmm
Pete wants to go to space

[vague terrace]

Honestly I dont know lol

[unkempt edge]

Why are they orc I just realised?
Also you know bees should also work up there as well

[vague terrace]

Remember the hight glitch? Yeah...

Or idk... moths and fireflies worked

But others dont

I reported the glitch tho

[unkempt edge]

I mean fireflys should work as with moths and bees I'm just confused that there or.c creatures

[vague terrace]

Story releated

[vague terrace]

No teasers recently cuz i dont want to tease too much anymore, but i promise ima post some soon.

[vague terrace]

NIGHTMARES of the YARD [This Summer!]

[ripe cape]

NOICE!

[livid crypt]

Yes

[bitter cloak]

ver gud

[arctic hamlet]

Nicee 🙌🙌

[viral kestrel]

yay

[solar laurel]

FINNALLY

[livid crypt]

I am updating Hide And Chop

[arctic hamlet]

Hey man I know you’re someone who also really wants this in the game, so just want to spread round one suggestion to make the message as clear as possible

#suggestions-old message

[vague terrace]

Okay guys, i started to worry about PERFORMANCE issues, with NO bugs placed the game has some fps drops. This makes me not really motivated to do more stuff, the playground is not cancelled tho.

[keen sinew]

Any idea why I’m guessing gizmos?

[fast pasture]

Same problem with my map, and it's a fraction of the size of this one.

Hopefully in a future update the Gizmo's can be optimised somehow...if possible.

[keen sinew]

I guess I’ll be keeping gizmos to a absolute bare minimum from now on might go back and remove some unnecessary ones

[bitter cloak]

I dont think the lag will be that big of a deal. Especialy compared to the regular mode on my computer.

[stark forum]

Do you think the map will run well in xbox?

[unkempt edge]

Does it need to run well to be fun?

[vague terrace]

Mehhh guys i dont know what to do

[fast pasture]

I know it sucks, but a slight FPS drop won't hurt too much.

Maybe have a couple of players on different platforms test it to see how it runs.

[stark forum]

It kind of does i played that harbingers of the apocalypse map it was so laggy it wasn't fun

[vague terrace]

I will see how it goes

[unkempt edge]

If not make it a shared world and I'll build it for you

[ripe cape]

i can test on pc game pass lol

been waiting for some good new rpg style maps

[solar ocean]

There is more lag in design mode than in play mode due to the links and gizmos

[viral kestrel]

This seems fun and not just map with cool interesting points but nothing in between. Can't wait to play!

[bitter cloak]

my game is 90% lag in the base game, so I think I'll be fine

[vague terrace]

this weekend

[vague terrace]

the entire map will be filled with stuff

heres my favourite biome i did

[viral kestrel]

That looks amazing!

[vague terrace]

crabgrass jungle now in production

[vague terrace]

its going to be insane

[last junco]

That looks so good

[vague terrace]

NEW TRAILER coming soon

it will show some new biomes i did

[viral kestrel]

will you add stuff from 1.4?

[vague terrace]

i guess

it depends

[vague terrace]

it depends on how much stuff it will add, like for example new boss, then idk, cuz the whole yard is filled with content

[vague terrace]

2nd trailer is out! (parallel*)

(apologies for low quality, its all because of the 25mb size cap)

special thanks to Sammy!

[still tundra]

[vague terrace]

[vague terrace]

bush WIP

[viral kestrel]

wow

amazing

[vague terrace]

Hey umm, i made a mistake in the trailer with paraller, it should be parallel

apologies

[viral kestrel]

How long did it take to place all those leaves?

[vague terrace]

40 minutes max

[bitter cloak]

paraller is a lot funnier

also, I cant wait for this to come out so I can fail miserably five billion times over

[vague terrace]

Lol

It wil be challenging

A lot of dungeons and stuff

Will*

[vague terrace]

how the hecc is that a tree

seriously, im curious lol

[whole solstice]

its like a shrub like a small tree but wide

i do not know why i called it a tree it was the first thing that i popped up in my mind 🤣

[bitter cloak]

bushes are just short trees and trees are just tall bushes

[whole solstice]

i need to go back to school

[vague terrace]

yee

[viral kestrel]

ha

im a cowboy

[arctic hamlet]

Fingers crossed the update fixes the creature spawning bug 🤞🤞

[vague terrace]

Important! Please read.
I think ima rework the whole playground during the summer, (a whole new map)
Its because of the amazing additions we got and overall better planning with lore and balance (the new tier 4 stuff.)

I know that i made 2 trailers and overall the whole map but, the lore is weird, the map is not balanced at all, and theres no place for tier 4 stuff. The new map will fix the problems.

I will start next month, it will be like 100000 more times better.

with reworked lore, reworked balance and gameplay

hope thats understandable.

let me hear your opinion.

[vague terrace]

NIGHTMARES of the YARD [Remaking the whole yard due to 1.4)

its 10000000000000% releasing during late summer

let me hear your opinion 😄

Hope thats fine with ya all 😭

[ripe cape]

I'm fine with it, perfection takes time, like most games before microtransactions and pay2win stuff lol, you do you man!👍👍

[vague terrace]

❤️

[ripe cape]

I like trying custom maps people make, with quests and collectibles and good, engaging gameplay. Something that's gunna make me wanna 100% your world lol. But no pressure, those are just ideas

[whole solstice]

1.4 just came out yesterday...

[ripe cape]

So? You can still some bomb maps, with even MORE stuff to build and play around with. I'm just not that creative to make a legit map. The most I've ever done was make a shooting range with a simple spawner

[whole solstice]

🥳

[vague terrace]

Nightmares of the yard is coming back on track pretty soon!
I have a Question:
Should i make every biome look wild and crazy?
Or only tier 3 biomes
Let me know 🙂

[last junco]

I’d try and make it feel like you know you’re in a tier 3 biome, the harder the crazier!

[arctic hamlet]

Can’t wait 🙌🙌

[viral kestrel]

only tier 3

[sweet knot]

how do you make custom thumbs for playgrounds

[arctic hamlet]

??

[stark forum]

Canva or something idk

[sweet knot]

no but put it on your playground

[arctic hamlet]

don’t think you can..?

[stark forum]

I don't know

[chilly swallow]

Wow, I absolutely respect the bejesus out you @vague terrace for continuing with this map for so long. I know it's probably a little easier to do when you have a passion for it as well as a small community hyping you up. I've had some cool ideas for playgrounds that haven't even come close to fruition, yet this playground is almost finished. I've watched this project grow since Playgrounds came out and I'm personally excited to play it all for myself. Can't wait, good luck man!

[vague terrace]

thank you 🙂 ima try my best

[vague terrace]

not really finished since i want to remake the whole map to fix the problems the other map had

but i can promise that the playground will release this summer

[ripe cape]

this one will be the last one 100%

[arctic hamlet]

Sounds goodd 🙌

[vague terrace]

Pls be honest - is this fine if the playground will have some lag? Not horrible lag just some fps drops

I tried my best to make the playground smooth but i bet its imposible

Be honest about it

[vague terrace]

[whole solstice]

It's okay one of my playgrounds have huge fps drops i think I put to many Grass walls

[vague terrace]

Im sorry but i gonna need to delay the release of NOTH by 1 month due to unexpected events. Im sorry...

[radiant cedar]

[stark forum]

[vague terrace]

Nightmares of the yard coming soon next month 100%

[vague terrace]

I made a custom lab hehe
Its deep underground....

[arctic hamlet]

Damn, what for??

[stark forum]

Is this the custom lab?

[vague terrace]

[bitter cloak]

If I were to get my own chest, I would put a pebblit in it and name him bob

[whole solstice]

[whole solstice]

my playground map i have been making for a month

[whole solstice]

[solar ocean]

[pallid iris]

What kind of map is it gonna be?

[whole solstice]

Sky island stuff big building stuff like that

[pallid iris]

Nice, i don't usually play playgrounds but i've been checking all of the "Skyblock/skyisland" types. I was building one but stopped.

[radiant cedar]

Yep sounds good

[radiant cedar]

Just from this screenshot alone it looks amazing though

[vague terrace]

[radiant cedar]

I’ll be surprised if you don’t get on playground showcase when ur map comes out

[vague terrace]

i mean it would be cool

[stark forum]

I agree since this is probs the most hyped playground since the updates release

[radiant cedar]

I’m prob finna stream whole day when it comes out

Or whole afternoon

[arctic hamlet]

What will you be streaming on??

[radiant cedar]

Twitch

[vague terrace]

[radiant cedar]

[vague terrace]

the story is smth like that, where u choose where to go and what to do.

theres 3 + 1 + 10 + 1 + more POI's / Dungeons to beat/explore

[radiant cedar]

Nope I haven’t but have seen play throughs so I have a general idea

Seems cool

[viral kestrel]

so close... yet so far

[naive ibex]

now I have to figure out when I can play this around my College schedule

[vague terrace]

playground is baking in the oven....

whooos hyped??

[vague terrace]

[radiant cedar]

I feel Ike there’s gonna be a lot of these guys around the map

[vague terrace]

wait let me count

[radiant cedar]

Oh god

If you have to count I know it’s bad😭

[vague terrace]

like 6?

[radiant cedar]

Oh

That’s not too bad

[vague terrace]

yup

[radiant cedar]

Widow stuff is easier to get now

[vague terrace]

the grass box they gave us is a little bit small imo

big enought but like

i had to use out of bounds for some stuff

[radiant cedar]

Ive sort of noticed that too while building so bigger stuff in playground

It could be a bit bigger

Also wait what

There’s a way to get out of bounds?

[vague terrace]

gnat ghost mode

[radiant cedar]

That’s a thing??

I might just be demented

I’ve never heard of that

[radiant cedar]

I’ve honestly never seen that

I don’t use playground much though

Wait is it when the gnat goes clear?

If it is then I semi know what it is

[vague terrace]

yup

[vague terrace]

Sadly, due to unexpected events (life is full of surprises) i need to delay the release date to 29 this month. Im super sorry for that.

The daily teasers will reset in 3 days

[arctic hamlet]

I’m glad it’s super easy to build out and below the space given in playgrounds

I’ve build whole areas just sitting under the map 😭😭

Especially for underwater sections

[vague terrace]

Im really sorry for the delay but im going on a 3 day trip during 24-27, I didnt expect that at all. Hope its understandable.

80% of the main story is done tho 😄

[ashen valve]

so is this like a sequel to the original game?

[vague terrace]

its grounded but in the parallel universe, not official

where u land into a different yard

[ashen valve]

NICE!

[viral kestrel]

so close yet so far

[vague terrace]

soo much work

[vague terrace]

should i add Aphid Chris easter egg

[arctic hamlet]

Yes 🙏🙏

[vague terrace]

snail

[last junco]

Gaary come hooome

[naive ibex]

The snellicopter is now capable of cross-game travel

[vague terrace]

btw the snail will give you quests

[naive ibex]

Does involve stealing Scar's diamonds and selling them in a commandeered shop owned by Mumbo?

[solar ocean]

Then you need to make a bigger snail and free it from captivity

[vague terrace]

is this normal that my photomode just doesnt work at all while doing the playground lol

[solar ocean]

Yes

I reported that bug like 2 - 3 months ago

[vague terrace]

ah

[radiant cedar]

That thing looks cool asf

The snail grounded needa

[vague terrace]

this guy gives you quests for trinkets and T3 materials

[radiant cedar]

Do they give you giddy goop

[vague terrace]

good idea

[radiant cedar]

Yes

Pls add that

I love giddy goop

[vague terrace]

sigh.... Playgrounds my beloved

very big issue.

i realised that the creature spawner doesn't like to spawn underwater creatures out of bounds (where the underwater cave is located in)

its sooo sad and disappointing cuz theres like no water at all (except the 2 ponds but they r too smoll)

and i know i know its my fault for not testing it correctly but like come on....

[the caves will be empty 😭 ]

actually NMV

NVM*

the spawner FOR underwater creatures is... broken?

ey chat

hear me out

i might delay the game to the point where i feel like the game is finished, and i can actually work without any pressure

again, its not going to be a long delay but i will not tell the release date yet

[magic plank]

Aw....

[naive ibex]

Take your time. Take as much time as you need. We want a finished product that is good, not one that feels rushed or like it was meant to meet a date

I just dont want it to be a dissapointment

Nightmares of the YARD

Let me cook

This will be good

Its also because of a stupid bug i found

This one

🥲

I promise its going to be epic, just let me cook

[vague terrace]

allready reported the bug, hope they will fix it 😭

[magic plank]

I've had problems with that too...

[vague terrace]

Let mi cook chat

Coming soon ™️

[radiant cedar]

Still can’t wait

Also don’t think you can trademark coming soon

[magic plank]

I know many people have said this before, but I am extremely excited for this.

I really want to make my own playground someday, but I can't find the dedication....

[vague terrace]

[vague terrace]

the bug has been reported and i hope it will be fixed next patch.

as for now, im taking a short break from Nightmares of the yard, i spend way tooo much time on it recently.

thank you for the support. im soo excited to finish this and finally publish it.

About the release date, i will announce it someday but this time im 100% sure its gonna be the final one, no delays.

again, thank you for the patience 🙂

❤️

[late basin]

Is the bug the water thing?

After talking to you about it I tried it on my world and the creatures spawned in the water just fine

[vague terrace]

Place a floor/terrain above the spawner

then ull see

[late basin]

Ahh okay 👍

I’ll try it in a bit

[vague terrace]

ey

i found a solution i think

for the glitch

when i place spawners inside the pipe for some reason the insects spawn normally

[vague terrace]

goobert

[vague terrace]

soon ™️

snail

[vague terrace]

3 regions to explore

[late basin]

Ooooh

Three is crazy, I need to play this

So far I got like 10 in mind 😭

[vague terrace]

Those are massive btw

The 3 regions

[late basin]

What separates them?

[vague terrace]

Brick wall

U dont know how helpfull it is

[vague terrace]

Is 12 minute respawn delay too short? Or it is fine? Please let me know.

(Example: u defeat a black ox it will respawn after 12 minutes)

[solar ocean]

Kinda short

[vague terrace]

Whats the okayish time then

The system aka stacking up timers takes a loong time

[vague terrace]

Ima make it so creatures respawn every 35 in game minutes

Is that fine?

[solar ocean]

yeah I think so

[vague terrace]

Problem is that for example u defeat a black widow, 1 minute later it will respawn (because 1 minute left for the system to respawn)

[solar ocean]

I'd probably make it like an hour or so, just so that is unlikely to happen

[vague terrace]

Yeah ngl thats what im plannin to do

Im not spending my whole sanity to set up 48 timers for like 2 ants

[late basin]

Next leak should be a map picture, like if the ingame map

[vague terrace]

Yes

Good question: does it work with mutliplayer

[vague terrace]

the playground will be a glitchy mess when playing with someone

its designed for 1 player

u CAN play with friends, but expect a lot of bugs

[late basin]

Such as?

[vague terrace]

It will take days to say

its not going to be super duper lifee changing playground

[radiant cedar]

It probably still will be

I don’t even really play playgrounds

But like this one seems too good to skip

[vague terrace]

i tried to make it feel like a grounded DLC

and i think i nailed it

[naive ibex]

You should probably eat, and drink, and use the bathroom as well

[radiant cedar]

What do any of those words mean

[naive ibex]

I get that. But you can't play if you are dead

[radiant cedar]

Yuhuh

[naive ibex]

Nuh uh

[radiant cedar]

Yuh uh

[magic plank]

Don't forget to sleep too!

But I have a solution.

Buy a Nintendo switch with Grounded

Have door-dash or someone deliver food at set times,

[vague terrace]

Hello

[magic plank]

Full up the bath tub with water and put a giant straw in it,

And then play it in the bathroom. Then you can play for a solid week.

[radiant cedar]

Too much work

I don’t wanna

[vague terrace]

Which one is more skibidi

[magic plank]

Hello

Then I'll wear acorn armor.

But after testing 💀

[magic plank]

You should.

I've fought 3 at a time in a different playground.

[vague terrace]
