Does a crafting farmsim really need a hundred hour long story?
>>
>>741170787
yes
>>
>>741170787
I don't know if every game, but I'm glad this one did, cause holy moly, it goes places you wouldn't expect and it's awesome
>>
>>741170787
It was kino and genuinely well written and voice acted. The crafting/life sim portion doesn't even really matter since the story is so enjoyable.
>>
>>741171085
>nazis came and attacked the town
>then I built a theme park for a 40 year old single mom
>>
>>741170787
I enjoyed it and didn't want it to end.
The only problems was gating Nia until the very end and the fact that towards the end I just had to sleep for days on end to advance the plot.

What's this game? Is it like Harvest Moon or smth
>>
>>741170787
Fuck me I miss this stupid game. I can't even replay it because the wrap up is so satisfyingly fitting, specially with the mayor's one on one chat with you nearly breaking the fourth wall about how the road is ending and it might feel sad but you will never be the same going forward as you were before and that is worth a lot, that I just can't.

I didn't sign up for feels. I signed up for plainly stupid shit. What the fuck.

>Is it like Harvest Moon
It's factorio/satisfactory/etc but less autistic and automated, and also with a JRPG story

Yes its exactly like harvest moon just with less focus on farming and more on crafting

and somehow both plotlines have the exact same emotional weight
that's why it's peak comfykino

Portia was better, fuck the desert
>>
>>741172046
Harvest Moon with farming supplemented with crafting autism, but it's not automation autism like >>741172397 is implying. It is a LITTLE bit but it's nowhere near the appeal or focus of the game. It still abides by a "set and forget" mentality for crafting while you go do the Harvest Moon thing of talking to the town and such. Also it has an insane story.

I really am not totally sold on what I've seen of early footage from the kickstarter updates. It looks jank, but like, not in an endearing way like Portia or Sandrock. It looks jank in an uncanny way. I'm sure the systems and gameplay are fine but I dunno about the art style. This shit kinda reeks of mid 2000s free to play chatroom type game.

Ditching the chibi style was a huge mistake. The closer you get to realism, the more everything else in the game needs to improve. Have not seen any evidence that the character's expressiveness is any different to last game and the animations even look similar and when you match that with more normal proportions it looks totally bizarre.

should I play portia or just start with sandrock? I have both games

Sandrock is the better game in terms of polish and mechanics and will also make going back to Portia harder. Sandrock is still plenty jank, but Portia is just that jankier in comparison.

He's not wrong about Sandrock. I went at a pretty decent pace and took over 100 hours. It's a long game.
>>
You did buy a Pen plush right anon? He is still available on Makeship.
>>
>>741183461
Nah, but they plan on having 10 "core" romanceable characters. Meaning they get a bit more focus and content. Be that story or personal content.

Characters that aren't core will still be romanceable and will still get their romantic moments.

For the record, in Sandrock the closest to "core" were Logan, Fang, Mi-an, and Nia. But that didn't stop other characters from getting their time in the sun.
>>
>>741183461
It's the same as in sandrock. There are core romance options with a bunch of content and then they also let you fuck the extras even though they wont have as much. So you can still fuck Atticus and then fuck his ugly fat daughter.

The core romances in sandrock were Mi-an, Nia, Fang, and Logan.
>>
>>741183689
I'm still waiting for a Nia and Mi-an plush.
I am not a fujoshit and will not be buying no plush of Fang or his crow.

>>741182651
Portia doesn't really have a cohesive story like Sandrock. it's mostly just disjointed monster-of-he-week type stories that are all about developing the town and the nearby territories. I do suggest you still play it, because it's very soulful, plus it has some storylines that will be expanded upon in Sandrock and Evershine

I didn't. But I'd buy a Pen figurine if I had money to spare

The guy can be removed from the story and nothing would have changed. Don't know what makes him 'core'. In that sense Miguel and Pen are more core since they are ones who move the story forward

Yes, there are several brilliant characters in Sandrock. Cooper, Trudy, Yan and Pen are great antagonists, Miguel has a great character arc. Burgess is funny as fuck as well as Unsuur.

Your internet propaganda has had you misconstruct women being mistaken about someone having a good inner side for them outright liking plain evil, unredeemable people.
Logan is what they like. Pen is what they fear Logan might be. That he is a funny punching bag meme outside of being comically evil so the community likes him is a different thing.

And yes, there are random unhinged people that enjoy just wanting to dick the evil character but even then what they want is the evil character to actually be evil to everyone EXCEPT them.

But the truth is, she didn't have to do any of that. Quite the opposite. To him, she was someone who truly cared, someone that held faith and challenged his ideals. He came to confide in her, to rely on her like a pillar of support. So long as she kept fighting the notion that the system was broken, he could continue to harbour and nurture negative thoughts. All she had to do was wait for the right opportunity, ensuring that when tragedy struck she would have no way to excuse it. She would falter. The pillar would threaten to collapse. In that moment of weakness, that's when he would be approached by them and brought into the fold."

I think portia is great. I have to disagree with the game being ugly. I think the character designs were charming and I loved everyone in the town by the end. The story is fun, the cast is lovable, the graphics are actually pretty amazing on max quality (sunset shining through the spinning windmill casting moving shadows onto the golden wheat field). Since it was the first game I could look past things like missing VAs, weird bugs and jank. The overall package was really good and set the foundation for sandrock.

It's a shame, because it would actually be a great setting for a game.
In depth pollution mechanics, where you can take an easy route to fix issues that causes problems down the line, or try for a cleaner option, but you start to get the army breathing down your neck for wasting time and resources.

You join a desert town to replace the current Builder who is quitting.
Gameplay consists of you gathering materials from the environment to craft stuff to both progress down the tech tree and help people out with their requests (which generally progresses the story).
You interact with townsfolk to develop friendship/romances. Also has some rudimentary combat vs monsters.

So yeah, it's a Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley adjacent game, with less focus on farming.

Are all the romances equal or do some tie into the story or themes more?
>>
>>741170787
Honestly, I wanted to like it. It has some fun elements and things to it, like it gave me "westernized" Rune Factory vibes. That's almost what it is, like a western version of Rune Factory. I just didn't have the patience I guess to really get into it. I think after about ten hours I just stopped caring, but it is neat learning new blueprints, actually building new things, watching the things you build help the town and advance it, etc.

I really don't think the games are bad, but it just ultimately wasn't for me.

it was already apparent with how fast they jumped ship from Sandrock compared to Portia

They specifically said they aren't doing early access because the kickstarter got them enough funding for the entire game development and early access would slow them down because they would need to make constant builds. They made one beta build for kickstarter backers and the next is full release.

are there any farming sim games that have the whole build relationship with villagers, life through the seasons, marriage and children, all that stuff but that also have minimal or no farming
I liked parts of rune factory and stardew valley but I absolutely HATE farming and all farming-related thjngs at a vonceptual level, but everything else is great
so ranching is ok, mining is ok, crafting is ok, fishing is ok, even the harvesting and gathering from wild plants is fine, but I just can't stand putting seeds on the ground and watering them

Tides of Destiny is a Rune Factory game with minimal (and botched) farming because it's more combat oriented. Monsters do most of the farming for you and you instead have to assign different types to the field depending on what they're good at and what you need.
