There is a lot of talk about the new and improved craft whiskey, but what about the one that really hasn’t changed in years? The one that is still using the same distillery in Tennessee and has been the same whiskey for decades.
The new Whiskey Ridge is a brand new distillery just north of Hendersonville, TN. Most of the whiskey made at Whiskey Ridge has been the same for the past 30 years, but they’ve added two new technologies to their stills. The first is a new microdistillation process that creates more pure whiskey. The second is a new process that allows them to make whiskey in smaller batches.
The new Whiskey Ridge distillery is a great example of a great local independent distiller. As the founder and namesake of the company, Jim Harlan, explains on their website, they got started in whiskey production after his father bought some old whiskey barrels from a distillery and decided to distill it himself. Harlan had other ideas however and wanted to build a distillery out of a space he had.
Harlan took a chance on whiskey’s popularity and used it to raise money for the purchase of an old whiskey rail car that he used to drive his own production equipment to work on. He hired his brother, who also worked at the distillery, and they were able to make whiskey in that space. The whiskey really comes together in the final version, which has a huge effect on the game.
Whiskey Ridge is a distillery that was originally built as a luxury resort by Harlan, but the money ran out and he had to sell the land. The resort was never finished and the water supply was polluted, so the town of Whiskey Ridge is now a ghost town. Harlan has been there the longest and is still there and wants to build a distillery again. The new distillery is built in the middle of a river, by a hill that overlooks the river.
Whiskey Ridge is a really good example of the game’s design, but it’s still a huge time-loop and I’d have to say there are actually five or six people running around with a big heart and a soul to keep the game going.
The distillery itself is a time loop and we have to go and save Harlan out of the distillery and the time loop goes back to the distillery, but it’s not a very good example of how time-looping works.
On the other hand, the real answer to all of this is to just stop doing time-looping games. If you start doing them, you stop doing them. If you do them, you go back to doing them. You can even get a real time loop game to do all the time-looping work for you, but time-looping is a really poor design practice.
And if you take away the time loop, it’s pretty obvious that you have to make a time loop. So to answer your question better, why aren’t you doing time-looping games? Because they don’t work. The time loop is a very poor design practice.
Time-looping games are a popular choice for players to get back into a game after they’ve gotten the hang of it. They’re fun and addictive and easy to do. But the key problem is that they don’t actually save the game. The key problem is that these games are usually so easy that there is little to no challenge. The problem is that most players just want to go back to the game with nothing to do. That’s not a good thing.
