Monster World Day 4

Think I found a bug: I am unable to build the baby bed that I am supposed to and nothing happens when I follow the instructions and place it. That is kind of a bummer. Two major bugs in 3 days isn’t cool.

Today was a full day of just planting crops and harvesting them. The plants I need to harvest to progress in my goals take quite a while to grow, so until they are finished growing I can’t do much.

My other progression goal requires me to either pay Facebook money, or wait another day until I can collect from my friends. I guess the third option is to invite more friends to play, but I am anti spamming. I don’t want to lose friends because they are upset with me spamming them with invites. So I will wait till tomorrow to make head way in this game.

Monster World Day 3

Ok, since I had not fed my helper in several hours he ate up all the plants in my garden. I think that is pretty funny.

I’m feeling pretty tired tonight. The two goals I had to complete tonight required me to visit friends, and since I have already done that and cannot help them again today, I have to wait a few hours for some of my plants to harvest so I can replant them.

That works out well with it being kind of late in the evening. So far this game is pretty amusing.

Monster World Day 2

I was able to make it past the level 3 bug. 90% of the game play so far revolves around your garden.

I like their system for hiring friends to water your garden and then feeding them to keep them there longer.

Leveling up to 8 was pretty quick and rewarding. Plants seem to grow pretty quick, and the ones I planted yesterday were still there waiting for me to harvest when I got back to it today.

If you feed a friend you can keep them watering your plants for a long stretch of time.

Monster World Day 1

Another virtual world game akin to Farmville and the like. I am almost finding it confusing to have so many similar type games going at once and keeping track of how they all work with their slight differences.

My first thought was that I am really liking the fun art style and cute animations of the characters. I think it really adds a lot to the game play. The initial goals were simple and very quick, I never had to wonder what to do next while I got my bearings on the game. I accomplished lots of planting and harvesting right off the bat that was quick and easy.

Where I kind of hit a brick wall and stopped playing for the night is when I made it to level 3 and the game crashed. No matter what, it kept crashing and reloading and I would have to repeat what I had done to level up to level 3 again. On the third crash I said screw it, and turned the game off. We’ll  see if this issue happens again on Day 2.

Family Village Day 6

Day 6

Okay, I don’t know if it is a bug, but I can not figure out how to give my villagers gifts.

The only other goal I can possibly complete is to add another family member to my family tree. After that, the goal is to add their birth date.

I think this game has made me uncomfortable and frustrated enough that we are only going to make it to day six with this stinker. It’s unfortunate because it is a local study and I really wanted to like it.

Family Village Day 5

Bleh. Still getting the server error when trying to go to the family tree page to complete a progression goal. Also, still unable to buy gifts. Not sure if I am too dumb to figure it out, or if I need to report that as a problem.

Even though I played late last night and this is just a few hours later in the morning all my jobs had still expired. Since I was unable to progress I spent a long ten minutes clearing out the wild trees and bushes in my home, visited my neighbors and tried to find something I could do besides invite them to visit my village (couldn’t figure anything out).

Hoping I can make it to Day 7 before giving up all together.

Family Village Day 4

Well hey! One of my jobs didn’t expire and I was able to collect some game money - however while trying to complete the goals I got an error connecting to the data server which stopped my ability to complete one of them.

My other goal was to raise the morale of my villagers by buying them gifts, but of course there were no gifts anywhere to be found in my inventory. With this apparent brick wall, I am calling it a day.
