A Wonderful Life plays in chapters, with time skips, and scripted times for things to occur to some extent, like with marriage. I don’t know how the remake plays, but on the GameCube version you had to get married in year 1 otherwise the game was over. You leave the town. Roll credits.

Spring Sale. These are the games that I don't own that seem worth trying... but... none of my steam friends have any amount of time in any of them and I've vaguely heard negative things about Coral Island and Kynseed. Coral Island -24% Kynseed -20% Roots of Pacha -30% However, I would highly recommend My Time at Portia for anyone who hasn't tried it that enjoys this genre. 6 bucks right now, down from 30. I put 200+ hours into it.

Pacha seems to have co-op? Is that just like the full single player experience? Might stand above the others if I can enjoy it with my wife.

FrickenMoron posted:If you don't like the design of a character, don't marry them. I always felt like Amber/Kiel in RF4 might be for the younger players, you gotta remember its not always people in their 30s who play these games. "If you don't like the design of a character" is a funny way to defend the 10 year old included as a marriage candidate that you can have children with. It's pretty gross considering the game does have marriage candidates that don't look like children, so it was quite the choice to throw this one (and a couple others in RF4) in for whoever was interested. Also, claiming the child marriage candidate is there for younger players to choose to marry isn't the defense you think it is. Even if you like the game otherwise, you should at least have the good sense to recognize this as a gross misstep unworthy of justification. It looks like they didn't repeat it in RF5, which is good. I've written off the series. There's so many other games to recommend. Zesty fucked around with this message at 08:16 on Mar 16, 2024 |

DACK FAYDEN posted:this is why I haven't even started Coral Island, because someone warned me about this, even though it says it's 1.0 it's not done (I kickstartered it so it wasn't a "don't buy it yet" situation but it would have been...) I watched this overview last night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t96gNf6vkmU Led me to the roadmap. v1.1 looks like what should have been 1.0. v1.2 adds multiplayer. v1.3 seems to be extras that make the game feel more lively. I think I'd rather wait for v1.3. Zesty fucked around with this message at 02:17 on Mar 17, 2024 |

Sandrock is a lot like Portia, just improved in all ways. I wouldn’t call it smaller, but it doesn’t waste space like Portia did. If you didn’t like Portia, you’re not going to love Sandrock. I like them both a lot though. Second best in the genre behind Stardew.

That’s cool. What did you think didn’t work about Portia that was corrected in Sandrock?

I’m surprised people would even try Sandrock after not caring for Portia.

I was on mobile last night so couldn't, but here's some screenshots of Sunkissed City. Made by someone who did some work on Stardew, and it shows. Looks a lot like the Alpha Stardew style. Unclear how final that's going to be.

huh. I would say the first year is pretty bad, and it's only the second year when you have new mechanics and direction that the game feels exciting for a moment. But then you have everything done by year 4 with two years ago, except for tedious tasks like getting to 100 bulletin board quests completed.

Brut posted:Just noticed My Time at Portia is 80% off on Steam, can you get all of the achievements in that game in a single playthrough eventually or are there some you can somehow miss/permanently gently caress up? There are achievements gained through romancing specific individuals. Emily, Ginger, and Mint at least, from what I can see by referencing my achievements. There's an achievement for getting divorced, for some reason, and another for getting caught cheating on your partner by actively dating someone else. You could get all of these in one playthrough, I guess. Or you could save scum. Or you can play a couple of times. I enjoy returning to these games every couple of years or so, and it feels less weird than being manipulative and game-y. First playthrough of these games should be blind anyway. You can always come back later and be super minmax metagame-y anytime. You can't be surprised later. Zesty fucked around with this message at 00:17 on May 2, 2024 |

Not trying to dissuade Portia/Sandrock chat at all, just pointing out there is a Portia/Sandrock thread filled with good content. I tried to make a character in Sandrock yesterday. Just as I finished, the game crashed before starting the game. :|

My Summer Car has a wild car building aspect to the game, but it's also a general survival and driving sim. It's not exactly what you're describing, but have you tried games like Dyson Sphere Program? You can get real fiddly with that in terms of designing, refining, rebuilding more efficiently, etc.

Coral Island on sale. Grabbed that, but I'm thinking I'd wait for the next update or two. edit: Also, Portia is on sale for 6 bucks. It's a great deal. I put 200+ hours into it. Zesty fucked around with this message at 23:11 on May 13, 2024 |
