Revision as of 10:13, 13 March 2011
Is mildly insane but dealing with it.I have also uploaded pictures to Deviant art.
Am working on a Start Here page here until further notice. Feel free to add a topic. What everyone should know for a fun glitching experience.
Intro
Glitch is based in a world called Ur which has it's own Calendar and 4-hour days (real time) it is 6x faster than our time. Ur has been thought up by 11 Giants, unfortunatley their imaginations are being attacked by The Rook
In Game
- Metabolics
In the upper left hand corner of your screen there is a meter, these are your metabolics. They include Energy, Mood and XP. Energy is spent when you are doing activities and gained when you eat Food. Mood is spent listening to music over and over as well as some interactions with animals as well as some buffs such as Hungover. XP are what you get when doing activites or eating a Sno Cone
- Skills
Skills will give you the ability to use certain tools, do something more efficiently, a new ability or learn other skills better. The Magic Rock learns the skills for you and will tell you when you have finished a skill. Skills can be selected from the "Periodic Table O' Skills" Skill learning can be sped up by either learning Better Learning or with a little help from a Giant.
- Maps
The map is in the upper right hand corner of your screen and shows the street you are on. Players can click on the map to automatically walk to a point on the street (providing there are no hills) and can click on signs. Selecting the magnifyong glass will give you a master map to the entire world. When in this view there are icons on each streer indicating which vendors and shrines are on each street.
- Vendors
Vendors are on almost every single street in Glitch and will sell and buy almost anything. There are x types of vendors, Animal tools, Alchemical, Gardening, Produce, Grocery,Kitchen,Hardware,Drinks and Sno Cone
- Currants
Currants are the currency in Glitch. They can be gained by selling items or doing quests and can be spent at vendors, auction or trading with other players. The currants are on the bottom left beside your Inventory
- Giants
There are 11 Giants in Glitch and they have shrines all over Ur. Donating to these shrines will result in favor which you can use to speed up learning a Skill or to get an Emblem.
- Bags and other containers There are only 16 spaces in your back pack to start. Fortunately these can be easily be expanded with the purchase of 10 or 16 slot bags. Other containers are item specific. Ex: Spice rack only holds spices. A back pack can get a maximum of 256 slots.
- Other Players
When you select another player in-game a menu will appear with several options:
- Hug-With an Emotional Bear you can hug this player.
- Kiss- With lips and an Emotional Bear you can kiss them
- Splank-With a board you can hit them
- Moon-With a moon and an Emotional Bear you can moon them
- Follow- Will cause you to follow that player everywhere even if they go to another street or teleport. Multiple people following a person is known as a Conga Line.
- Trade- Will open a trade interface with this player to trade items for items or for Currants.
- Give- lets you give this player any item from your Inventory
- Lore
During alpha testing many players got some odd habits and named them. There are several big ones players should know and aare welcome to join. About half-an-hour before a test finishes players will volunteer their houses or a street to host an Apocalypse party, everyone is welcome to join and locations are posted in the help channel. Barnacle Parties also became very popular when several players found a bug. When many people harvested at the same time they would each get a barnacle.
- Shortcuts
While trying to navigate Glitch, it is usually easier to use the keyboard than a mouse.
- Left-Right control motion of avatar and change selection in a menu
- Up moves you up and down ladders and vines
- Space Jump
- 1,2,3 facial expressions
- Enter select an object around you or in a menu
- L Quest Log
- Chat
Chat lets you talk with anyone in world. The chat windows are expandable and there is a tab showing all friends and groups. During alpha testing there are 5 diiferent types of chat:
- Local Chat is on the bottom left of your screen. This window shows all of your activities, God, and what people on your street are saying.
- Help Channel is there to help people out, there are developers and senior testers scanning the channel to answer any question you might have. There are no dumb questions!!!
- IM "Instant Messsaging" is the chat with a friend one-on-one. To activate click on their name on your chat interface or click on a player on your screen and select "IM".
- Group Chat When you join a group (more on that later) you are able to join a group wide chat with anyone who has also signed into the group chat. To join a group chat click on the tab next to the chat and select the group as you would a friend.
- Party Chat** A party chat is a chat with up to 7? people in a temporary group. You set up a party by clicking on a player or a name in the friends list and selecting "Invite to Party". You can also be invited by other players doing this, but if you leave a party you must be invited again in order to join.
- Magic Rock
The Magic Rock is the rock in the middle of your screen. Clicking on him will let you do Quests and later Teleport. The rock also learns skills for you while you play.
- Housing
Houses are useful if you need a place to leave stuff, grow food or raise animals. Homes are private and players must knock before entering another player's home. The more expensive a house the larger the cabinet and the number of plots. To buy a house either find it in-game(they will have a for-sale sign) or click on the Real Estate Listing on the bottom of the home page.
Out of Game
- Groups
- Forums
Forums are there to discuss events, bugs and ideas that are happening in the game.
- Auctions
An auction is an easy way to put up items for sale. The auctions link is on your home page. Auctions last for 24 hours (real-time) and everything except houses, emblems and bags can be auctioned.
- Friends
- Feeds
- Wardrobe and Vanity
