Thanks for folks who have reached out with NetEase in the news. FPC has not been affected. We are still funded, growing and hiring.

Our game isn't a "procgen" game in the vein of Spore, No Man's Sky, or Caves of Qud. We use random maps for a lot of our content, similar to Age of Empires or Civilization. The monsters, terrain, POIs and quests are all handcrafted. That said, there is a lot we are learning from the procgen games!

Had a red tailed hawk try to grab a chicken right in front of me and the dog, like 10 m away. Everyone is okay but it was scary. Had this problem last February too, so maybe the hawks are particularly bold and hungry since it's their breeding season. Anyway no outdoor foraging for a bit!

About 50% of US households have a dog, 30% a cat, and 13% chickens. Chickens are likely the third most popular US pet. (Mine are pets. I’m sure some people just think of them as food.) (Pet fish and reptiles are sub 10% of households)

In the world for our MMO some dreadful things happened in the past but it’s now sort of post-post-apocalyptic and civilization is growing again. We settled on this for a couple of reasons…

Hawks been hanging out at the henhouse (which sounds like a movie title). I don't think they can get in, but it scares the girls. I purchased two fake crows, because hawks are scared of crows. Will report back! I know you have to move the fake crows regularly so the hawks don't learn they are fake.

Upside down jellyfish (with the delightful genus name of Cassiopeia) LARP as coral, sitting on the bottom with their flat heads down and photosynthesizing. But they can get up and swim away too. Ubiquitous in tropical mangrove shallows.
