Listen, if your cheese isn't up to snuff they will drag you out of lancaster with a rope at the end of a buggy. you better play some more video games first to bone up.

A shame that he's aiming low though. He should at least have a deluxe version with soundtrack + concept images or something, I want to give moooore.

He did confirm the soundtrack would be sold on Steam as well. I personally agree, a full-fledge Harvest Moon game for the PC--apparently the first of its class--would probably have the demand to sell for more. Say $30, with a sale to $15 after a bit.

I'd have no hesitation at buying Stardew at $30.

$10 is my day one price point. $15 is my "wait for a sale" one. Maybe I'm stingy, but while the game looks good, I'm in no hurry to play it. I'll be happy to wait for the multiplayer in a year.

How did this guy fund the game anyway? Was there a kickstarter or is he just independently wealthy enough to solo create a video game over 5 years and not starve to death

Produced by Chucklefish after a point. But who knows for the rest of it. Might be on the Tarn Adams diet.

Iirc Chucklefish doesn't actually provide fiscal support to the games they publish. Instead they take care of the PR and marketing stuff and provide dev advice in exchange for a relatively (compared to other publishers) tiny piece of the revenue. There was no Kickstarter or preorder either. So yeah, either this dude's independently wealthy or he evolved to eat code. Or he has a part time job or something.

I would say he was a programmer but I don't think part time programming jobs exist? and I don't think many full time programmers want to come home and create a solo video game from scratch. Maybe that's why it took 5 years though.

$15 is probably the highest I'd pay without a sale so nice call there. Looking forward to giving it a try soon.

This game looks like it's going to own, the way it's shaping up reminds me of Friends of Mineral Town, and I absolutely loved that game. I think $15 is more than reasonable. I just hope the Chucklefish branding doesn't hurt its sales.

I doubt it. It hasn't changed anyone's opinion here and I've seen no one throw a bigger fit about Chucklefish than the people on these boards.

I've never even heard of them - I expect most people don't care about publishers if the game looks decent anyway.

The game they're developing isn't as good as people expected. Not to be confused with this game that they're publishing.

And even my disappointment with Starbound felt like more of a failure of knowing what I wanted than something that was their fault. It's just something I feel like noting to myself here.

Starbound is the Terraria In Space game right? The only thing I know about it is that it became a joke about how long it is taking (took?) to come out. Is it out? What's wrong with it

What's wrong with it It's not out, and every time I try to play it it's somehow a little less fun. I don't have any issues with chucklefish, mind, I think their Publishing work is pretty good, but I doubt starbound is going to be a good game, and that's a shame.

Chuckefish has published very few games. Have any of those games sucked as a result of Chucklefish's influence beyond pure speculation? If not then I wouldn't let this sort of thing bother me because a team can be a great Publisher even though they suck at development and game design project management.

Risk of Rain (A Good, Complete Game) was published through them. Chucklefish didn't have a say to how the game played beyond "this looks good, we want to sell it on your behalf for a cut!"

I've heard nothing but good things about Risk of Rain, I'll have to try that sometime. Have they talked about how the dungeon crawler elements work in Stardew? That seems like the most unique feature.

Chucklefish also published Halfway which is a perfectly good pixelly XCOM joint.

Didn't they have a falling-out over the Risk of Rain guys feeling like CF didn't do enough to market them for whatever amount they were receiving? I dunno if it's still gone, but there was a time when RoR didn't have the fish logo on their startup screens.

It is a good and fun game, though it is not well optimized and the late game fights tend to get laggy when there's a billion enemies on screen. Definitely worth playing though, I love Risk of Rain.

They put out Interstellaria which is a goon made Star Flight kinda game. And also Leannas Inception which is literally proc gen Zelda. The stuff they support tends to be cute and interesting at least. Halfway was pretty good too but I'm under the impression it didn't do super well?
