I probably would've already gotten it if wasn't early access, the possibility of having to restart a game that requires a lot of time commitment is a deal breaker for me, so I'd rather wait until it's finished. On another note, I'm kind of tired of so many Stardew Valley clones, I wish there were more games like Rune Factory instead with less farming and more RPG and dungeon crawling. I think the only one like that that comes to mind is Sun Haven(?) and that one has been in my backlog since forever now...
I totally understand this, and I used to feel the same way but then I realized that these creators probably need the support if they are going to go from early access to full release. It really helps, and it wasn't really that much, $14. I canceled World of Warcraft And Hulu for a month because there was nothing to watch there anyway. That was more than enough to buy it. But I don't blame you at all of you don't want to support early access games! I totally understand
I don't really mind early access, but it really depends on the game, stuff that is very pick-up and play like roguelikes and shooters is fine, but anything story based or long is a hard pass for me.
You: has a very reasonable take
Lemmy: downvotes
If you haven't yet, definitely check out Core Keeper!
That's like Rune Factory? I thought it was more like Minecraft/Terraria but top-down. It's been living in my Steam wishlist for a while too now, waiting for a decent discount.
No, it's indeed a top down terraria.
I am absolutely addicted to core keeper right now. The 1.0 update is so good.
Sun haven was a pleasant experience. Rather than automating farming, I just cause earthquakes and rainstorms to plow and water respectively. My only complaint is my thumb hurting from constantly air dashing around.
Man I love Sun Haven! I definitely feel more involved in tending to my crops by using magic than setting up a sprinkler system. Co-op made for a really cute time.
Part of me wished the story was a little bit more than just an excuse to get you new farms but wouldn't want to ruin the tone haha.
