It's time to start a Group Game Play tradition here in The Woods!
What is Group Game Play? ~Group Game Play is where we choose a HOPA, Adventure or TM games & play together...apart! ~You play at your own pace, this isn't a contest! ~As you play the game, you post your progress, talk about the gameplay and h elp others when they get stuck.
What are the Benefits of Group Play? ~Group Game Play is a great way to learn how to play different genres! ~Group Game Play is a great way to get to know each other, we have the same interests! ~Group Game Play posting is a great way to Rank Up (Post Morphs) ~Group Game Play posting allows you to earn more money, you'll earn money every time you post or create a thread (Forum Tips-see Monetary Banking Link)

kiwichic, I haven't played it in years but it is a very colorful & whimsical game and should be just difficult enough for a good group play game. We will take all game suggestions and put them in a Game Play Poll on March 1st, 2021
The Group Play Date will begin on March 7, 2021 (you can join the group play anytime, there's no time limit, you play at your own pace, no one's judging, it's meant to be fun!)

I like the idea of playing Tearstone, since a new Tearstone is coming out soon. This is a great idea!!

Tearstone looks interesting. Not familiar with the others will have to look around

pennmom, kiwichic, suzanne, sonia (username @eskarina), smitty189, Look at the pic I posted above for this thread...have you ever watched people use a game controller? They always move & sway their entire body when all they need to do is use buttons or a joystick Rolling Smilie (especially true on racing games)

Haven't used a game controller in years but it was like playing twister when I would play with the kids

Jo , and pennmom ,I downloaded Tearstone to have a look at it. I did know that Jo said she could not play it on her computer. I cant play it on my new fandangled one either. I could play it on my old 32 bit..may have to drag it out again . Could those who said they would check it out also play the darn thing on new computers? (I cant win.. )

Hey joybelle and Jo, I just tried to play Tearstone too (the BF version), and found myself stuck many times - first with my cursor freezing at various spots so all I could do was sign out, back on, & try entering the game again, whereupon I could make some progress but then die either with my cursor freezing again or taking an access violation & being tossed out of the game. Are these the same failures you were seeing? My computer is from 2014, so not at all new, but it does run the 64-bit version of Windows 10 Pro, so maybe it is a 64 vs 32 bit thing??
Didnt I see developer chrisdragonseye here in the Woods awhile back? Maybe he could tell us why it is failing and/or something we could try to get it working again?? I didnt try any compatibility changes to see if that might make the game perform better. Did you try any? A pity, I was having fun at it during the times it was not failing.

couldn't even get in to it lurkercat , It loaded the front page and then my curser just wiped out everything with big lines It wouldnt even open. Yes we must get onto the developer and find out what may be the problem. Would you like to start it off on his developer den..and then we can all join in with our various differing reasons it wont play. If you havent started it in a few days..I will post the dilemma .You may as well take the credit for the post, you called a very sensible idea..let's ask the developer!

Hello, I really don't have the time to play but I will follow this with attention and try to provide a game that would do a super fun "group game play" material! Sorry for not being active lately, working hard on the gamebook adventure.

kiwichic,lurkercat,eskarina,pennmom,joybelle,jo After reading I downloaded and shortly into the game my cursor froze. I'm not very tech but I will try again after I refill the bird feeders, got some angry bluebirds not to mention the blasted squirrels Finished the demo (at least I think so game basically just died not time over) but only by being very careful where I clicked. Unfortunate seemed fun

I haven’t tried Tearstone, don’t mind which game we play really. I liked pennmom post about people moving around with their game controllers. Reminded me of how I used to leap around the lounge laying wii tennis and wii bowling. Had to be careful to whack DD with the controller.
