Hahaha, I'm holding Shakespeare's book in my hands for the second time within a week!

When: a player dies due to gravity, and an umbrella is involved.

**Message:**Pray heed, O noble realmwalker, to the inexorable laws of yon gravity. As thou dost plunge from the heavens, remember this: The longer thine fall, the greater the need for time to abate thy hastening descent. Wise it would be to 'pulse' thy umbrella, using it not in one exhaustive effort, but rather in measured bursts. This shall conserve thy vital stamina, preventing a most grievous and untimely meeting with the earth below. In this realm where gravity reigns, an abrupt halt from a fall can bring about danger. It is wiser to gently slow your descent, especially as you near the ground, to avoid harm.

I think so many people will have done exactly the same and not realised the controls! Not only how to use it in the first place but then the stamina issue. I watched a bit of Lanah Tyra stream over the weekend on catch up and I did this exact same thing and the same reaction. Wish I was setup to keep a continuous recording loop going at the time to capture the same thing.

Here's the clip and sums up a lot of our play throughs I'm sure!

My tower is about 40 floors high, and 80 stamina is not enough to slow you down if you open an umbrella before the ground. Learned it the hard way =)

Lol, I just counted mine and its 40 as well, 41 if you count the roof as the top. I did do a video off the top with the umbrella but due to the look of the structure I've made, I didn't like the optics so binned it.

Honestly one of the biggest selling point of the game for me is Puck. I love Midsummer Night's Dream and having him in the game certainly gives the vibe

I did a little Shakespearean fanboying when Puck mentions Oberon in the tutorial

This might be purely because I'm a Musical Theatre nut (and also a Charlie and The Chocolate Factory nut), but I think there would be something incredibly funny about Puck reciting the lyrics to 'Pure Imagination' but in his serious/mystical tone when the player first enters their new realm. I think the lyrics also kinda fit really well into an open world survival/crafting game as well:

"Hold your breath

Make a wish

Count to three

Come with me and you'll be

In a world of pure imagination

Take a look and you'll see

Into your imagination

We'll begin with a spin

Traveling in the world of my creation

What we'll see will defy

Explanation

If you want to view paradise

Simply look around and view it

Anything you want to, do it

Want to change the world?

There's nothing to it"

Up and down, up and down,

will thou carry wood till dawn.

Forest by thine camp is long gone now,

what will thou do now?

Thou even forgot to eat,

made sinew from the precious meat.

Will thine tower ever be complete,

or should thou give up to compete?

Scenario, You die in the wet and diseased waters of the swap tutorial biome:

Hearken, brave wayfarer of the swampy expanse! Thou art thoroughly soaked and besieged by the vile malaise of the marsh. Yet, grasp firm, for now thy cherished belongings lie ensnared amidst the very core of the murky, ailment-ridden waters – a true quagmire of swampish calamity. Deem this a lesson in the pitfalls of frolicking within these murky precincts, O intrepid wanderer of the swamp!

"... a true quagmire of swampish calamity" I hadn't realised you'd visited my hometown!
