>NOOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST GENUINELY ENJOY A GAME! WHY AREN'T YOU SHITPOSTING?! WHY AREN'T YOU HIDING BEHIND 7 LAYERS OF IRONY?!
Sorry bro, I just really like the game.
>game is finally released to 1.0 >get 2 threads in 4 days >Wow a lot of shilling here haha
Do you even know what shilling means you fucking nagger. What isnt shilling, no threads on Ganker? Fucking nagger.
That doesnt fucking matter.
When a game releases it has high chances of getting threads and as soon as they get made we get naggers like you complaining about them, how about you go to a board that doesnt talk about vidja so you can escape the shiils?
There were a few threads when EA started. But a game releasing fully makes people want to talk about because it gets recommended on the store page. >love and adoration
Most of this thread is people just starting the game though. I do unironically really like the game though, but it's post story content could be way better so I hope they keep adding to it.
Your brain is so fucking rotten that if someone tries to discuss a full release of a game and not trannies, naggers, or e celebs you immediately shit yourself.
You'll never find a Labyrinth of Galleria thread on Ganker now but when that released there were threads every day from people playing it. Was that "shilling" as well? No its a game coming fully out and people talking about it.
if you pirate the game and all dlc you will start with two pets already, meaning you will literally never have to worry about water. i'm just at the end of the second week, and already have a hundred gallons sitting in my trunk, plus a full water tank. trivializes the challenge though, I kinda regret it
i bought this game and refunded within an hour
the game felt like shit to control, the gameplay is like a bad mmo, every character is a vapid, bug-eyed freak with all of 2 dialogue lines, and the combat "system" is atrocious
art direction was nice though
>every character is a vapid, bug-eyed freak with all of 2 dialogue lines
kek you don't know what you're talking about, you dumb nagger. I've been surprised at how much personality some of the characters have. Even the fucking monotone rock autist became likeable to me.
It emulates the good part of playing an mmo fairly well. That part being the sense of community. I was having flashbacks to my mmo times when me and all the other npcs where running to the 'taxi' to fast travel to the holiday event.
I know there are shills hiding here, so answer me this.
What's the reasonable difference between resetting abandoned ruins by paying money vs switching layers?
Both appear to do the same thing.
You reset ruins when you are farming a specific relic or item on a certain floor and you already cleared it out of possibilities. If you are not after something specific you just go to the next level and not pay to reset.
But when I change floors from like 15 to 6, it also says it resets.
Most floors share the same relics, so you could go through 3 floors and then just go back up the 3 and do them again, for free.
What's the payment option for then?

Not to mention ugly as sin and slow as fuck. A problem every indie farm sim seems to have is long canned animations for every interaction that slows basic tasks to a crawl.
In Rune Factory, everything is quick and responsive. You can change weapons, chop a stump, pick up 9 logs, open and sort your inventory, warp home and save in the span of 10 IRL seconds. Loading times are virtually nonexistent. In most other games you'd still be chopping because each axe swing plays a 2-second animation.

Rune Factory 3 and 4 unlocked the secret technology of spam pressing while you have a watering can out means your character holds it out and continues to water crops in one long animation as you move over new spaces.
This technology is somehow lost to every single other farming game, even RF5 lost it. its intuitive and makes watering simple and fucking no game has learned from it.
Asians that want to be Americans are genuinely the worst. I'm a Singaporefag and one of my ex-friends that took the Californiapill became so insufferable that everyone started avoiding him. We all knew he was gay and didn't care, but once he started with the progressive shit he would rant about it 24/7 and amusingly enough treat us like shit for being straight.
>Banana on tranny tit covering
Okay, they're gott to the taking the piss now? If they already had 2blatant trannies,
Though seriously I do hear the game is decent and of course you don't have to romance the tranny or gay shit, but I've been waiting for a decent sale.Some of the designs for other characters seem not as bad, but there is some disconnectbetween the 3D models and the 2D potraits stylistically.
I understand your feelings but this time you're wrong. Coral Island was made by Indonesians
I was surprised to learn this as well, being developed nearly entirely by Indonesians, though it is a strange thing they choose to do what

mentions if accurate, as many Indonesian devs have some neat concepts that are more specific to their local lore. There were a couple of indie horror/ghost story titles, one game who's name I forget about Indonesia in the 90s, and Troublemaker which is kinda sorta Indonesian Bully.
>Though seriously I do hear the game is decent
the gameplay part is probably the best out of all the sdv/hm clones. however the world, the writing, the art direction and the tone are all completely soulless and unironically the safest, the sloppest of slops

You don't get it, you get to fuck another man's wife, althought she did divorce him, the idea of romancing a divorced/married hag in my harvest moon games was something I always wanted, and the fact that she's a delicious brown semen demon is a bonus in my eyes.

This comes from experience more from Early Access period, but I've filled the museum to the brim in one old playthrough while leaving the house yard barren and nobody ever went to the museum to see shit.
I played my time at portia a few years ago and while I liked it, i hated that it forced you to rush building shit to make sure that other builder wouldn't beat you, does sandrock have the same shit or did they actually make it comfy this time?
There are monthly and annual builder rankings, just like in Portia. Yan blatantly cheats by stealing points from others as he does the paperwork.
There is actually quite a lot of internet humor included in the newspapers and in some quest titles which would only make sense to people who spend a lot of time on English websites, as well as several classic Simpsons jokes to boot. Despite some awkward translations here and there, they clearly had at least one native English speaker working on it. Either that, or someone genuinely bilingual rather than an ESL chink.

I wish I could actually remember them all but I did find myself regularly thinking "hey I recognize that line from The Simpsons".

Keep an eye out for them.
The shop is called "Sneed's Feed & Seed", where feed and seed both end in the sound "-eed", thus rhyming with the name of the owner, Sneed. The sign says that the shop was "Formerly Chuck's", implying that the two words beginning with "F" and "S" would have ended with "-uck", rhyming with "Chuck". So, when Chuck owned the shop, it would have been called "Chuck's Fuck and Suck".

It's been a pretty comfy ride for me and I haven't rushed anything. Most of the stuff you can build are introduced to you in quests which you can do at your own leisure while still being able to take commissions so you don't get left behind by the competition.
The president of the company forges his numbers so he is gonna be super hard to beat and requires you to be competitive though.

I’m having a great time, just started autumn. Only complaint is that the story can’t quite keep up with me, I’ve been having days where there’s not really anything for me to do besides just completing a couple commissions, keeping the furnace rolling, and using up all my stamina.
Has anyone used the salvage delivery service? It was wasn’t clear looking at it whether it was actually worth the money.
I like it way more than Portia but still going to drop it because nothing "hooked" me in this game. Everything started feeling like work, story and setup is not interesting. Where is the intrigue. And crafting is really mediocre tvh
Also does anyone wish there would me more games like this with a darker tone, set like in post apocalypse or some war? Why is this "crafting while living nearby large cities with NPCs" always so cartoony and cheerful?
Portia and Sandrock are already post apocalyptic with a whole lot of dark shit going on if you actually read books/notes and pay attention to the main fucking story. No one bothered listing any because the poster was a retard.
Gleaner Heights and Harvest Island are supposed to be Stardew but with murder and drugs and shit if you want to give those a go. I haven't played them myself because the trailers look like shit.
nice, gleaner heights and harvest island seem like cool games, never tried these rune factory like games because of their "safe" look, its just not for me, but the two games you recommended seem like what i want
How close to Rune Factory is this game? And do the time limits ever get too tight or in the way of relaxing farming? I really want a new mindless grinding/build something up game.
Farming is just a secondary, minor thing that you don't really need for anything major.
Bigger focus is on building and crafting items and mining materials to do such things.
>arvio confesses to me >game literally lets me say "yikes" and leave immediately >next time I see him he's trying to shill his store to money nigga >step in and make sure he fails and feels as shit as possible
I really like this game you guise
Taiwan, the homosexual capital of Asia and the gouging israelites of the semiconductur industry will fall and it's Western handlers will be too weak to do anything about it.
i love this game so much. it's so relaxing and comfy. i am addicted to it. the 'just 1 more day' mentality extends my play sessions by so much because there isn't a point where you can feel like you're done since there's always something to do. it's absurd how much content there is (even though most isn't that high quality), the side quests that has the town reflect your work adds to the world building and feels rewarding that you are literally changing the town in a material way.
this one of the best production/life management games i've played. concernedape should concern himself with intergrating some of the QOL of this game, namely the fact you can pull items from anywhere it appears in your stash when crafting/planting.
I bought this game in early access for 18$. I already have 55 hours in it. I'm really getting value for my money. My only problem is how slow the main story is progressing. I'm only at the Gecko station, and have access to iron and plastic. I remember all the materials from the first game Portia, so I must still have a long way to go. Just how long is this friggen game?!
I just planted some trees there. Do you know if the rate at which you get main story quests slows down if you are doing most of the side quests? I swear that it takes forever for the next phase of the main story to get going. Maybe it's some developer way to make sure people focusing on side content don't get overwhelmed with all the extra tasks in the main story, but I'm just speculating. Portia was never this slow.
>Do you know if the rate at which you get main story quests slows down if you are doing most of the side quests?
side quests have no bearing on main story. it's why you can get overwhelmed if a bunch just pop at the same time, and the town is on fire and everyone wnats to do their shit ASAP and elsie wants to fucking hang out, and owen wants me to go catch some fish, while cooper just has enough crap in his backyard that needs cleaning. JUST CHILL PEOPLE THE TOWN IS ON FIRE LET ME FIX IT FIRST
Honestly it feels like youve played the game completely differently if you're just at that stage. I fully completed the game at 80 hours.
There are some "slow" sections of the game, specifically after youve just unlocked a new area to mine or scrap things. Typically Act 2 and Act 3 are "bursts" of main story quests and side quests, with a few days gap inbetween.
It might be that, yeah, I'm staying completely on top of the main quests and side quests and commissions and holidays and everything and I've found myself sat waiting days for anything to happen.
I think I'm at almost the same place you are - just finished fixing the bridge and I'm getting requests for things using plastic so I must be about to unlock it - but I don't have anywhere near 55 hours. How far through the year are you? I'm on the first of autumn.

Heidi you'll max out relationship with just by doing commissions because Owen and Heidi request the most shit by far. She also has a reverse confession pretty early on if you pick romance options
Grace has a great story arc and tit jiggle, Nia has a huge questline because shes the childhood friend But the childhood friend always loses so fulfil that prophecy
Mi An grows on you once the chink devs stop making her integral to every fucking quest and shoving her down your throat.
For a meta answer, you want to get 3 pets to buddy status so you can adopt them ASAP. You can send out 3 pets at a time as slave labour to find you stuff, most importantly water resources which is very useful early on

oh they sound really useful. i was struggling with water early on. i was constantly running out and having my machines stop working. i built around 10-12 dew collectors to support my near total uptime on my machines, but sometimes i still need to hit up the water shop if i get fucked over by a sandstorm stealing my dew production.

I don't get the appeal
Girls are fucking obsessed with this game, well, girls or fags.
Since Ganker hasnt talked about this game at all since the very early days of EA I had to go to Steam forums and reddit. Its all just women and fags lusting over the same 3 dudes
>Girls are fucking obsessed with this game
that's farm games in general. the only reason I, as a high test male, even gave the game the time of day was because I noticed it had some combat in it. It's not deep at all but it's something to round out the package.
the building and commission aspect to me is what appealed to my male mind. the production chain and time management is also fun to me. i only really interact with town residents in order to get their friendship buffs, so i mostly skim through their dialogue, unless i like them as a character
Males still play farming sims and the like often, Ganker used to not be gay and just have fun with even games like Style Savvy too. We'll probably never go back to that for various reasons however, and just have to settle for rare threads like these.
I think sadly with farming sims and the like theres not really anything to talk about unless youre just endlessly telling newbies what to do.
The game's easy and laid out quite straightforward. Its why outside of the stealth Stardew threads they never get traction either despite being a ridiculously successful game because theres not much to talk about except waifus.
Its nice to have these kinds of threads once in a while though. There was a Sandrock one a few days ago with some great conversations but that isnt likely to last longer than another week.
>7 whole replies
HOLY MOLY that's gotta be like a whole 1 USD bonus to your paycheck, Zhang!
Having a 24/7 thread on Ganker for a niche chink grindcore with shitty waifubaiting, LITERALLY just when the game released 1.0 on Steam, is TOTALLY just us gamers discussing gamer things, right fellow gamers? ;^)
Easiest is planting and farming Coffee Tea Trees, since both products the plant gives sell for a lot, they dont need to be replanted ever and people also request them for general commissions all the time
This semi-chibi style is not my cup of tea. 2D art is okayish, but ingame is not. Overall style is also feels a bit chinese. There is some art-direction, but underlying bunch-of-random-stuff-from-random-chinese-people is still visible. Overall, they are trying, but it still feels cheap.
Same, Portia is an uncut gem even after they tried to get as much voice acting in as they could.
If they improve on the same trajectory for their next game it will be GOAT

Amirah has the same mercantile outlook to life as Arvio, shes just much better at hiding it. Nearly every single personal quest she has is you benefitting her business in some way and you need to be number 1 in the builders guild to marry her.

Way more QoL, the people dont look like corporate art, darker story line than Portia and longer story. The only downside this game has compared to Portia is the location which definitely doesnt appeal to everyone
huge quality of life changes. it's also like x3 the length and has a lot more content. only downsides are the fishing minigame, wildwest/desert setting and atrocious accents.
They just mean the animals. Essentially some animals have two "variants" depending on where they are and what level they are. For example with the weird husky penguin hybrids can drop emeralds in sandstorms that you cant get anywhere else until a very late game area.
A vulture also spawns near the scrapyard that drops relic bags and other items and all "enraged" enemies drop more resources and badges you can use to buy stuff from the civil store
They mention Portia pretty often and multiple characters turn up, but im sure it wouldnt effect your experience if you had no clue who they were beforehand.
No the game has a pretty definite ending I would say. Theres one final cutscene which is pretty much "we did it, its over", you can continue playing after that but its a nice ending bow and honestly got me a bit emotional because the voice acting was actually good
>Theres one final cutscene which is pretty much "we did it, its over", you can continue playing after that but its a nice ending bow and honestly got me a bit emotional because the voice acting was actually good
You are talking about 1st or 2nd game now?
I played each patch throughout the early access so by the time the full release rolled around I'd already finished everything. It felt kinda hollow to FINALLY be able to build a factory yet have absolutely no need for it. Maybe I'll do a second playthrough at some point and try to marry a different girl, but I'll probably just end up with Grace again because she is by far the best. I'm going to guess Nia has more post-marriage content though as they clearly try to push you towards her.
It's a lot better than Portia but if you didn't enjoy Portia you probably won't enjoy Sandrock. It's still very similar even if every aspect of it has been improved. It's a small improvement to every single thing rather than a major improvement to any one thing.
There is one gay person in Sandrock if you play as a dude, there is one lesbian if you play as a girl. By that I mean there is one person who will take the initiative with you without selecting any heart options
Everyone is playersexual though, so the homosexualry for everyone else is only there if you specifically pick the gay options
there's a HUGE difference between giving homosexuals and fujo role-players some fun versus shoving israelite mandated LGBT propaganda in your face dumbass
>Alice's thousand-yard stare
She's so fucking creepy
I also wish the game wasn't so blatantly biased towards Ginger, making her so easy to score points with AND giving her a whole special quest to marry her on top of it
I still ended up marrying Nora instead
So.. why are the people in this series so retarded. Mainly about technology? Because their churches whole thing is full of more holes than Swiss cheese
Their church is correct purely because the end of the world literally did happen and it was because of technology. The pastor from Portia is only a couple of generations away from his ancestors who lived underground in shelters due to the apocalypse.
Sandrock builds on that theme, by essentially doubling down on the idea that technology itself isnt dangerous, but in the wrong hands it becomes dangerous.
However, everyone could do with being more cautious with it. By the end of Sandrock you develop an Air cannon that can fire projectiles strong enough to incapacitate people, full on war time airships, mass produce weaponry and explosives and a couple nations are already in a cold war that could erupt into warfare at any time
Are the final tier of weapons you can craft (the level 55 ones) better than the laser gauntlet and laser sword? I've already completed everything and have no need for weapons any more, but I never built them and I'm curious. Just in terms of stats I mean, the sword beams and palm laser probably still make those weapons win out in terms of usefulness.
I didn't even bother trying to befriend anyone via gifts. Too hard to remember what everyone likes. I maxed everyone via the party function instead. Super easy to just throw two parties every week and just invite those who don't post a lot of requisitions.

Actual kino...
My current run is already finished anyway, it's from quite early into early access and unless I sleep a whole bunch to have a baby I don't think there's any content remaining.
>Game made by the Chinese >No guy friends turning into gay predators if you dare to become friends with them, since there are no bachelors >Only have one girl with dyed hairs >No sluts with tattoos >No sluts with stretch marks >Number of girls with dick baggage kept at the minimum >No psychopath eyes to be seen
I've already been burned by the last two games these chinks made, I'm not falling for it a third time. There's no way this game is any better than portia.
Doing commissions will get you all the money you need. You CAN make a decent amount of money off of farming but its supplementary compared to commissions and you'll want to keep a stock of produce on hand at all times for commissions anyway. I never bothered selling my crops.
Same. I also have like 9 clay pots in there because they won’t stack in the inventory.
Is a barn or any of the animals worth raising? Is seems like a lot of home space for little reward.
You end up with more space than you need quite quickly. They are definitely not worth it if you are currently struggling for machine space however. Yakmel milk is provided in such abundance that it's basically infinite HP in any mission, and the fertilizer is always useful as well. Eggs are kinda handy for cooking too. You do gain profit off of each animal you raise, and that profit isn't insignificant. I found myself raising animals to adulthood, storing a week's worth of produce or so, and then selling them for profit and purchasing babies again. It's potentially worth always maintaining one adult Yakmel for a constant source of milk independent of your growing cycle. But yes, in general, I think it's worth raising animals even if only to sell them upon maturity if you have the space for it.
Thanks. Space is tight right now. I built 12 dew collectors which maybe too much. I don’t even have a stable because no room and I accidentally skipped the ridding tutorial. Is there any special animals I need to save spots for? Do chickens reproduce on their own?
I have finished the game and have like 15 fully refined max level dew collectors and I still sometimes run out of water if I don't buy it from the store or have my pets hunt for water rather than other shit. It would be very difficult to have too many dew collectors, although you may have more than necessary relative to your machine count currently. You should keep the extras rather than sell them for the time being because you'll probably want them later (unless you never bother growing plants). Having said that, I have an unnecessarily large crop field (200 tiles or so) which is a water drain. I just like having my workshop filled with foliage. Later on you'll get helpers who collect dew automatically, so you can just place all of your dew collectors on your roof and not worry about space consumption or having to loot from them manually.
Nothing reproduces on its own, and there are no "special" animals aside from a story mount you get towards the end.
>15 fully refined max level dew collectors
Refining dew collectors is absolutely useless. It doesn't increase their collection rate and increased capacity is useless due to evaporation.

It's a factor during rain, which automatically fills them to full - and that's what tricked me into refining them all in the first place. Unfortunately I never again experienced rain after the forced story rainfall and I don't know if that's just because it was never implemented until the full release (and I finished the new sidequests within one in-game week of the full release and thus haven't spent much time in 1.0) or if rain chances are so astronomically low it just never happened again in the year or so which passed in my game after the story rain. When I initially refined them all I had hoped rain would actually become a thing but it never did.

I am playing the new release and almost finished with the first year and no rain yet. I have not had the story event for it. Good to know not to upgrade them.

the story rain happened during first spring for me, so in the second year (since you start in summer)
Yes. It's a good game but the storage management sucks, and with the storage improvements in Sandrock you'll find it nearly impossible to deal with in Portia if you ever end up playing it second.
At least Coral Island lets the male MC also be tall and big like some NPCs.
You look like a fucking child in Portia/Sandrock and get utterly mogged by most male NPCs to the point of oblivion
1) How is the previous game, Portia? Worth playing? Because it's on Humble Bundle right now.
2) How are clothes working in this game? Easily to make and mix or rare?
Portia sucks. It's a decent first attempt, but Sandrock is the superior version by far.
Clothes are plentiful and can be obtained through story rewards, crafting and buying.
Also, stop typing like a homosexual.
There's no need for an into or outro; just pretend you're talking to a person.
By the way, have you gotten the Gankerx extension yet? Also, you can use the 'tomorrow' style for dark mode (can be changed at the bottom of the page).
god, i need to upgrade. loading takes gorillion years in this game for me. I literally just put it down and go do chores while it's loading, even bg3 wasn't this bad
> "Stardew Valley but with minorities" > "Stardew Valley but with furries" > "Stardew Valley but with 3d e-bois" > "Stardew Valley but without farming"
I dunno guys, nine of the recent clones look appealing.
Maybe, but it will also remain an unattainable ideal for a while, just because any clone released today is going to have sweetbaby-level character design and writing, completely killing the escapist aspect of the game.
Stardew never hooked me like Portia/Sandrock did
I think the main difference with SDV isn't 3d, it's that these games are more quest driven rather than being a complete Sandbox
Honestly pretty damn great. I thought it was closer to an expanded 3D Stardew Valley, but come to think of it Rune Factory could be an inspiration a well. Note that if you wanted to try a similar title, My Time At Portia is its predecessor Also all these games run pretty much flawlessly on Linux; its kind of a pity they dropped native support though as one of their earlygames (free to play now!) called Planet Explorers (a survival crafting that's pretty damn well done especially for its age) had native Linux support back in 2016 or so. Still, that was before the Deck and Proton so I kinda get it.
Sandrock is a step forward from Portia and even includes multiplayer; yes, you can even have relationships with players and share a comfy life , in addition to a variety of NPC waifus and husbandos etc. There's also even more depth to the already great minigames, story, dungeon crawling, lore etc.. and the new setting is a more Westernpunk one than Portia. Both titles I think are worthwhile though if you like this type of game, somewhere between Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley and other titles.
The only thing I don't like is that, unless some shit has changed, they stuck a handful of the cosmetics behind stupidly expensive (ie $200-300+) Kickstarter packages, pets etc. I know because I got even the Deluxe (around $80) kickstarter to support them and it doesn't come with all the special shit like the fanciest outfits. Now you can probably hack them in, but no idea if it fucks with an online game or wil be visible to other players if you don't have them auth'd. I don't mindexpensive CUSTOM "create a ____" style things, but it gets annoying when games, especially single player or non-MMO types lock stuff away behind Kickstarter exclusive, not to mention multiple tiers of expensive stuff. If they made them avaialbleto everyone down the line that would be fine, even as paid DLC, but never a fan of exclusivity for cosmetics. Overall great game, tho

just pirate
Already have it from Kickstarter. However I am curious if you use creaminstaller will your account get flagged if you're playing onlinewith unauth'd DLCs (by either Steam or the devs) and will it fully function in multiplayer or will nobody else be able to see any of those items and it only renders clientside for you but you appear naked or in some default attire to everyone else?
Steam never gave a shit about dlc unlockers, and I don't think Pathea does a server side check but I can't confirm that. Big multiplayer games will detect you but for anything solo you're fine
I would hope Pathea wouldn't bother with it - its a bit annoying that even the "cheap" wedding clothes (both the lightand the dark style) were a separate $15 KS purchase that I apparently missed and wasn't included in even the $80 pack; the other stuff was for $200.
I'd easily give them a couple bucks extra for all this stuff, but $200 seemed excessive and I can hope that non KS backers will be given a chance to buy it later. Otherwise, guess it will be creaminstaller provided there is no risk of getting banned; I read that on some games with server side checks you didn't get outright banned from online play or whatnot if detected , you would simply get some sort of "authorization for THING_ID not verified and cannot be loaded" which at least lets you know its not gonna work without fucking you over.
I wasnt expecting much from the combat but god damn its ass. Half your attacks whiff due to shitty tracking and there is like no feedback to anything. A bull turned into a comet and charged into my character and my character just stands there with a number popping up over his head, doesnt even say "ow"
>homosexualy orange haired pasty white nerd >semi well designed asian character >overly masculine brown guy >purple haired strong independent brown dyke
There's a quesst you need to do in order to unlock the pet whistle and learn how to build pet houses. After that, you have to basically befriend the animals sufficiently to "adopt" them and have them come live with you.
>pirate game to see if i like it, and make the mistake of checking my mail >immediately get bombarded with shit that takes up all my inventory space
I hate this
>Filtered by mail
I pirated too and I solved that by opening all the mail to remove notifications but I didnt take the items.
As I played more and more I took more of them out and even sold quite a few, but some of those items make great gifts so dont sell them all.
3d stardew valley esque game with a strong emphasis on an actual story. Its also more about the mining and crafting shit than about farming, though you can farm
I've played 25 hours of Portia last year and took a break to play something else (don't remember what).
Should I start Sandrock or should I "finish" portia first? I'm leaning on restarting portia to maximise my comfy gametime, but I've also got Coral Island that I wanna play eventually.
I guess my question is: does Sandrock make Portia irrelevant enough to skip? (so I don't burn myself out before getting to Sandrock)
Just had a tea party event. what the actual fuck? ok, so pablo was a disgusting homosexual, that much i already new. but amirah and heidi gossipping about people behind their backs and airing their dirty laundry? that's just disgusting. my opinion of those characters plummeted
You mean the gossiping hair dresser and gossiping women that visit the place were actually gossiping? How stupid does one have to be to not know that women and hairdressers always gossip?

What did mi-an ever do to you, huh? She's only ever been nice and helpful from the moment you set foot in sandrock. She doesn't deserve you vitriol. Apologize to her immediately.

>not full of homosexualry

I will give your game a chance
it's that simple
Can we just auto ban people like this already? Has anyone ever even used the word shill genuinely here?
>game is finally released to 1.0
>get 2 threads in 4 days
>Wow a lot of shilling here haha
Do you even know what shilling means you fucking nagger. What isnt shilling, no threads on Ganker? Fucking nagger.
Where were the threads before 1.0?
Where was all this love and adoration for the game before that?
nta but I bought it when it came out of EA on a whim. I can't speak for anyone else but I didn't even know about it before then.
>game in development
>people don't talk about it
>game releases
>people start talking about it
Woah!
last (you), nagger
That doesnt fucking matter.
When a game releases it has high chances of getting threads and as soon as they get made we get naggers like you complaining about them, how about you go to a board that doesnt talk about vidja so you can escape the shiils?
There were a few threads when EA started. But a game releasing fully makes people want to talk about because it gets recommended on the store page.
>love and adoration
Most of this thread is people just starting the game though. I do unironically really like the game though, but it's post story content could be way better so I hope they keep adding to it.
Your brain is so fucking rotten that if someone tries to discuss a full release of a game and not trannies, naggers, or e celebs you immediately shit yourself.
You'll never find a Labyrinth of Galleria thread on Ganker now but when that released there were threads every day from people playing it. Was that "shilling" as well? No its a game coming fully out and people talking about it.
True. Everybody knows that Ganker would never even play a vidya much less enjoy it. Also pls kys yourself tbh.

>tfw spent most of the game in early access so Nia doesn't even exist in my game outside of some letters
i bought this game and refunded within an hour
the game felt like shit to control, the gameplay is like a bad mmo, every character is a vapid, bug-eyed freak with all of 2 dialogue lines, and the combat "system" is atrocious
art direction was nice though
>every character is a vapid, bug-eyed freak with all of 2 dialogue lines
kek you don't know what you're talking about, you dumb nagger. I've been surprised at how much personality some of the characters have. Even the fucking monotone rock autist became likeable to me.
as someone who played their first game I agree it does play like a bad MMO
the game is a mish mash of ideas taken from other games and just jumbled into a game
It's not a great game but its pretty serviceable
It emulates the good part of playing an mmo fairly well. That part being the sense of community. I was having flashbacks to my mmo times when me and all the other npcs where running to the 'taxi' to fast travel to the holiday event.

if you're an mmotranny, maybe
That doesn't sound fun at all. Gameplay is really that boring and repetitive?
I find it fun, but I’m also autistic
It's a crafting game. You gather materials to make other materials to build shit and rebuild a town
I know there are shills hiding here, so answer me this.
What's the reasonable difference between resetting abandoned ruins by paying money vs switching layers?
Both appear to do the same thing.
You reset ruins when you are farming a specific relic or item on a certain floor and you already cleared it out of possibilities. If you are not after something specific you just go to the next level and not pay to reset.
But when I change floors from like 15 to 6, it also says it resets.
Most floors share the same relics, so you could go through 3 floors and then just go back up the 3 and do them again, for free.
What's the payment option for then?
Inferior to Coral Island
ayo wtf
that's a man
>shoulders wider than the hips
yup, that's a man
I do really hate americans sometimes. I've never seen this game before but im 99% sure the person is from cali/seattle
I understand your feelings but this time you're wrong. Coral Island was made by Indonesians
Coral Island completely misses the whole fucking point of an idealic island away from civilisation.
>First day, explore town
>half the girls are on phones doing selfies
>multiple people doing remote work AKA wageslaving on their computers at home
>Girl obsessed with social media
>The town's diversity is literally as if someone took a slice of california and placed it on its own island
Not to mention ugly as sin and slow as fuck. A problem every indie farm sim seems to have is long canned animations for every interaction that slows basic tasks to a crawl.
In Rune Factory, everything is quick and responsive. You can change weapons, chop a stump, pick up 9 logs, open and sort your inventory, warp home and save in the span of 10 IRL seconds. Loading times are virtually nonexistent. In most other games you'd still be chopping because each axe swing plays a 2-second animation.
Rune Factory 3 and 4 unlocked the secret technology of spam pressing while you have a watering can out means your character holds it out and continues to water crops in one long animation as you move over new spaces.
This technology is somehow lost to every single other farming game, even RF5 lost it. its intuitive and makes watering simple and fucking no game has learned from it.
Asians that want to be Americans are genuinely the worst. I'm a Singaporefag and one of my ex-friends that took the Californiapill became so insufferable that everyone started avoiding him. We all knew he was gay and didn't care, but once he started with the progressive shit he would rant about it 24/7 and amusingly enough treat us like shit for being straight.
It's made in Yogyakarta which is the Indonesia very own bugmen containment zone. If you've been there, you would know what I mean.
THAT'S A MAN, BABY!
There are already two actual trannies in the game, you didn't need to make a shot in the dark
>Banana on tranny tit covering
Okay, they're gott to the taking the piss now? If they already had 2blatant trannies,
Though seriously I do hear the game is decent and of course you don't have to romance the tranny or gay shit, but I've been waiting for a decent sale.Some of the designs for other characters seem not as bad, but there is some disconnectbetween the 3D models and the 2D potraits stylistically.
I was surprised to learn this as well, being developed nearly entirely by Indonesians, though it is a strange thing they choose to do what
mentions if accurate, as many Indonesian devs have some neat concepts that are more specific to their local lore. There were a couple of indie horror/ghost story titles, one game who's name I forget about Indonesia in the 90s, and Troublemaker which is kinda sorta Indonesian Bully.
>Though seriously I do hear the game is decent
the gameplay part is probably the best out of all the sdv/hm clones. however the world, the writing, the art direction and the tone are all completely soulless and unironically the safest, the sloppest of slops
>My EGS at Blackrock
no thanks
can someone decipher this
Idiot thinks Sandrock is israeliteslop because front cover has brown and tanned people.
explain this then nagger
oop
The previous game, My time at Portia had a gay character you were forced to interact with every day.
>character described as a pretty flower
>looks like a gay israelite clown
what did they mean by this?
It's bait, likely posted by the op himself, to fish for thread bumps.

You will be raising another man's child if you go for her.
>y-you'll be raising another man's child
And I'll be fucking that child's mom. Whatever nigga.
Did she have a female or male child? Also I'm playing Portia right now and it's pretty nice with mods
She has a boy
In the pictures she shows you later in the game he seems to have very white skin somehow
Dropped. Also in portia:
>only Asian dude is the chad doctor that everyone has to rely on
>has a hot big titty bodacious blonde as his assistant
What did Taiwan mean by this?
>brown woman with light skinned child
bleached used goods
You don't get it, you get to fuck another man's wife, althought she did divorce him, the idea of romancing a divorced/married hag in my harvest moon games was something I always wanted, and the fact that she's a delicious brown semen demon is a bonus in my eyes.

Post your workshop set up right now and I will personally judge it.

You coward. Post your character right now then.
I'm also waiting til later to get outfits for appearance and to fix my character's face.
I was going for a goth girl that Named Wednesday cause of the Addams but then I found out you can romance characters and went for a generic guy instead.

bro?
Either fully commit to being a whore or don’t at all. You can’t have it both ways, tranny homosexual. have a nice day.
If it was possible anon, I would fully commit but it's not.
And that was my previous character before I learned there is romance in the game, I'm a generic guy now.
I was going to do the same thing but I just couldn't bring myself to throw away nearly 24hrs worth of progress. I'll just have to find a male option for my character that doesn't completely bother me and cope with knowing penis will go into vagina.
I wonder if this is how fathers feel when their daughters start dating.
marry someone you can peg. like ernest or pablo. though pablo is a fag
I was thinking about qi so I could at least self insert as the socially awkward autist.
>the flamboyant male hairdresser that loves fashion and wears a skirt is named pablo
Hispanic bros, why does it keep happening?
You should marry Pen and have children called Chad and Stacy, that's what I'll probably end up doing.
you can't marry Pen
The thought of pen having sexual intercourse alone repulses me, let alone with my character.
Cute pet. I'm trying to get the dog but it's taking forever since I didn't prioritize it
I just talked and pet every animal I saw whenever I saw one. At some point I was at max friends with every animal in town while the people were basically still strangers.
Why is the museum so useless in this?
In Portia you could have people NPCs visit the museum and gain friendship for it.
they still do that at your house
are you sure they don’t also do that for museum? i thought i’ve seen that message before
This comes from experience more from Early Access period, but I've filled the museum to the brim in one old playthrough while leaving the house yard barren and nobody ever went to the museum to see shit.
There are monthly and annual builder rankings, just like in Portia.
Yan blatantly cheats by stealing points from others as he does the paperwork.

The game can be pretty funny. I understand chinks made it but I refuse to believe they also wrote it.
>it's a doggy dog world

Nvidia chinks made it.
Not the murderous thieving commie chinks.
There is actually quite a lot of internet humor included in the newspapers and in some quest titles which would only make sense to people who spend a lot of time on English websites, as well as several classic Simpsons jokes to boot. Despite some awkward translations here and there, they clearly had at least one native English speaker working on it. Either that, or someone genuinely bilingual rather than an ESL chink.
>Qi starts off as the spergy scientist with no friends (as in literally he has no friends in town)
>Halfway through they decide his entire personality is going to be that hes a jap who loves anime
>that remains his personality for the entire rest of the game
The whole middle of the game is full of so much embarassing meme shit
>as well as several classic Simpsons jokes to boot
Speak of the devil
I wish I could actually remember them all but I did find myself regularly thinking "hey I recognize that line from The Simpsons". There are definitely references to Poochie returning to his home planet and Radioactive Man's goggles doing nothing which I can recall, but there was a lot more than that as well. Keep an eye out for them.
>classic Simpsons jokes to boot
sneed?
Don't recall any Sneed jokes but I could have missed it.
It is an subtle joke after all.
The shop is called "Sneed's Feed & Seed", where feed and seed both end in the sound "-eed", thus rhyming with the name of the owner, Sneed. The sign says that the shop was "Formerly Chuck's", implying that the two words beginning with "F" and "S" would have ended with "-uck", rhyming with "Chuck". So, when Chuck owned the shop, it would have been called "Chuck's Fuck and Suck".
It has more soul than any Rune Factory release and is my personal GOTY
It's pretty great.
I played my time at portia a few years ago and while I liked it, i hated that it forced you to rush building shit to make sure that other builder wouldn't beat you, does sandrock have the same shit or did they actually make it comfy this time?
Only commissions and some side quests are timed. Story quests are fully at your discretion.
Well, I'll give it a try i guess, did enjoy portia a lot but I just never get why these games force you to rush shit
It's been a pretty comfy ride for me and I haven't rushed anything. Most of the stuff you can build are introduced to you in quests which you can do at your own leisure while still being able to take commissions so you don't get left behind by the competition.
The president of the company forges his numbers so he is gonna be super hard to beat and requires you to be competitive though.
You should loose your first year anyway, it gives you the more cutscenes.
portia has been on my to play list for a few years. surely ill get to it soon. surely.

I like it way more than Portia but still going to drop it because nothing "hooked" me in this game. Everything started feeling like work, story and setup is not interesting. Where is the intrigue. And crafting is really mediocre tvh
Also does anyone wish there would me more games like this with a darker tone, set like in post apocalypse or some war? Why is this "crafting while living nearby large cities with NPCs" always so cartoony and cheerful?
>there would me more games like this with a darker tone, set like in post apocalypse or some war?
there are plenty games like that
Such as?
>there are plenty games like that
4 hours later and no one mentions a game like that
kenshi, project zomboid. another game i don't remember the name of. those are just off the top of my head
Portia and Sandrock are already post apocalyptic with a whole lot of dark shit going on if you actually read books/notes and pay attention to the main fucking story. No one bothered listing any because the poster was a retard.
Gleaner Heights and Harvest Island are supposed to be Stardew but with murder and drugs and shit if you want to give those a go. I haven't played them myself because the trailers look like shit.
nice, gleaner heights and harvest island seem like cool games, never tried these rune factory like games because of their "safe" look, its just not for me, but the two games you recommended seem like what i want
It's a 'le wholesome' family friendly game. Of course it's cartoony and lighthearted.

How close to Rune Factory is this game? And do the time limits ever get too tight or in the way of relaxing farming? I really want a new mindless grinding/build something up game.
Farming is just a secondary, minor thing that you don't really need for anything major.
Bigger focus is on building and crafting items and mining materials to do such things.
The videogame term farming I mean, but poor choice of words on my part.

Taiwan, the homosexual capital of Asia and the gouging israelites of the semiconductur industry will fall and it's Western handlers will be too weak to do anything about it.

i love this game so much. it's so relaxing and comfy. i am addicted to it. the 'just 1 more day' mentality extends my play sessions by so much because there isn't a point where you can feel like you're done since there's always something to do. it's absurd how much content there is (even though most isn't that high quality), the side quests that has the town reflect your work adds to the world building and feels rewarding that you are literally changing the town in a material way.
this one of the best production/life management games i've played. concernedape should concern himself with intergrating some of the QOL of this game, namely the fact you can pull items from anywhere it appears in your stash when crafting/planting.
I really don't like the "Sandrock" setting.
Not comfy at all.
Shut up nagger. desert towns are max comfy.
Desert towns are just walking around in empty nothingness while everyone smells like sweaty gay bears
I bought this game in early access for 18$. I already have 55 hours in it. I'm really getting value for my money. My only problem is how slow the main story is progressing. I'm only at the Gecko station, and have access to iron and plastic. I remember all the materials from the first game Portia, so I must still have a long way to go. Just how long is this friggen game?!
Oh, also Catori best girl.
If youre at 55 hours but just at gecko station youve likely got another 100 hours left.
Gecko station is a very early unlock.
I just planted some trees there. Do you know if the rate at which you get main story quests slows down if you are doing most of the side quests? I swear that it takes forever for the next phase of the main story to get going. Maybe it's some developer way to make sure people focusing on side content don't get overwhelmed with all the extra tasks in the main story, but I'm just speculating. Portia was never this slow.
>Do you know if the rate at which you get main story quests slows down if you are doing most of the side quests?
side quests have no bearing on main story. it's why you can get overwhelmed if a bunch just pop at the same time, and the town is on fire and everyone wnats to do their shit ASAP and elsie wants to fucking hang out, and owen wants me to go catch some fish, while cooper just has enough crap in his backyard that needs cleaning. JUST CHILL PEOPLE THE TOWN IS ON FIRE LET ME FIX IT FIRST
Honestly it feels like youve played the game completely differently if you're just at that stage. I fully completed the game at 80 hours.
There are some "slow" sections of the game, specifically after youve just unlocked a new area to mine or scrap things. Typically Act 2 and Act 3 are "bursts" of main story quests and side quests, with a few days gap inbetween.
It might be that, yeah, I'm staying completely on top of the main quests and side quests and commissions and holidays and everything and I've found myself sat waiting days for anything to happen.
I think I'm at almost the same place you are - just finished fixing the bridge and I'm getting requests for things using plastic so I must be about to unlock it - but I don't have anywhere near 55 hours. How far through the year are you? I'm on the first of autumn.
w-what, why
Hoho, I guess you're not chad enough to handle him!
>w-what, why
he's not the marrying type 🙂
I'm near the end of autumn. Playing the same way you are and have the same experience as you with respect to the rate the main quest is progressing.
Interesting - and you're at about the same stage in the story, but are twice as many days in? Or you're a different guy and you're further along?
>Catori best girl
Stinky money hungry native american brownie with the worst voicelines and a grown son is best girl?
No I dont think so
thank you for setting me straight anon-kun. who should i be focusing my gifts on?
Grace is actual best girl. also her model is way cuter than her portrait
Heidi you'll max out relationship with just by doing commissions because Owen and Heidi request the most shit by far. She also has a reverse confession pretty early on if you pick romance options
Grace has a great story arc and tit jiggle, Nia has a huge questline because shes the childhood friend But the childhood friend always loses so fulfil that prophecy
Mi An grows on you once the chink devs stop making her integral to every fucking quest and shoving her down your throat.
For a meta answer, you want to get 3 pets to buddy status so you can adopt them ASAP. You can send out 3 pets at a time as slave labour to find you stuff, most importantly water resources which is very useful early on
if you pirate the game and all dlc you will start with two pets already, meaning you will literally never have to worry about water. i'm just at the end of the second week, and already have a hundred gallons sitting in my trunk, plus a full water tank. trivializes the challenge though, I kinda regret it
oh they sound really useful. i was struggling with water early on. i was constantly running out and having my machines stop working. i built around 10-12 dew collectors to support my near total uptime on my machines, but sometimes i still need to hit up the water shop if i get fucked over by a sandstorm stealing my dew production.
build sand wall as soon as it becomes available and raise it up every night. that way if the storm hits the dew collectors won't get fucked
Uhh that sounds even better. I can share her with her son, while renting her out to the town.
My girlfriend invested around $350 or so into the kickstarter
Since its alpha release somewhere early in this year, she's spent 30 hours in it.
I don't get the appeal

woman moment
Girls are fucking obsessed with this game, well, girls or fags.
Since Ganker hasnt talked about this game at all since the very early days of EA I had to go to Steam forums and reddit. Its all just women and fags lusting over the same 3 dudes
guess that explains why I've never heard of this
>Girls are fucking obsessed with this game
that's farm games in general. the only reason I, as a high test male, even gave the game the time of day was because I noticed it had some combat in it. It's not deep at all but it's something to round out the package.
the building and commission aspect to me is what appealed to my male mind. the production chain and time management is also fun to me. i only really interact with town residents in order to get their friendship buffs, so i mostly skim through their dialogue, unless i like them as a character
Males still play farming sims and the like often, Ganker used to not be gay and just have fun with even games like Style Savvy too. We'll probably never go back to that for various reasons however, and just have to settle for rare threads like these.
I think sadly with farming sims and the like theres not really anything to talk about unless youre just endlessly telling newbies what to do.
The game's easy and laid out quite straightforward. Its why outside of the stealth Stardew threads they never get traction either despite being a ridiculously successful game because theres not much to talk about except waifus.
Its nice to have these kinds of threads once in a while though. There was a Sandrock one a few days ago with some great conversations but that isnt likely to last longer than another week.
I need help finding that thread.

Having a 24/7 thread on Ganker for a niche chink grindcore with shitty waifubaiting, LITERALLY just when the game released 1.0 on Steam, is TOTALLY just us gamers discussing gamer things, right fellow gamers? ;^)

Catori world!
So if you are a cuck connoisseur Catori is the way to go?
Yeah, if you're into mommy ntr.
best way to make money besides commissions? the last patch of lands are so expensive like hot damn
no idea I'm always poor
Easiest is planting and farming Coffee Tea Trees, since both products the plant gives sell for a lot, they dont need to be replanted ever and people also request them for general commissions all the time
This semi-chibi style is not my cup of tea. 2D art is okayish, but ingame is not. Overall style is also feels a bit chinese. There is some art-direction, but underlying bunch-of-random-stuff-from-random-chinese-people is still visible. Overall, they are trying, but it still feels cheap.
insane improvement over portia though. I wouldn't mind portia remaster with sandrock's facelift
Same, Portia is an uncut gem even after they tried to get as much voice acting in as they could.
If they improve on the same trajectory for their next game it will be GOAT

What compels a man to not choose Amirah over the rest? Guess some things in the world just don't make sense.
she's a narcissistic cunt. best part of the game is when the mysterious man tells her she only gets business because she's attractive
Amirah has the same mercantile outlook to life as Arvio, shes just much better at hiding it. Nearly every single personal quest she has is you benefitting her business in some way and you need to be number 1 in the builders guild to marry her.
Maybe youre okay with that, but her aspirations are pretty much solely business related.Even Catori opens up more into her life outside of her businesses
>and you need to be number 1 in the builders guild to marry her.
holy shit. fuck that bitch. she can die old and alone for all i care. gold diggers get the noose
>can't even be the best in a single player game
lmao, you lazy fucks don't deserve her
Getting number 1 is piss easy, but its the fact that she demands it
a bitch wants you be the best and you hate it, lmao even in fantasy you want to a loser
no, she doesn't want me to be the best. she wants to marry into money, so that she can sit on ehr asa all day getting fat, that's all it is
it's not money, but status
Her status: for the streets
If i'm the best why the fuck would I want her? a ho that will keep nagging me and probably dump me if something goes wrong?
But my builder is the best. Sandrock pretty kneels down to the builder halfway through act 2 because he's singlehandedly eliminated an inferior species, and solved every problem he was asked to
The Builder has the pick of the crop pretty much by the end of the game. Settling with some mercantile bitch with an even more sleazy brother is not what i'd call ideal
>Basically told you that she came from poverty and wants to be the best she can be and since that's your actual goal as well you should do the same
>Wow what a whore
Filtered
Shes a gold digger. Its alright anon if you like the arabian princess no one's going to be mad but dont act like shes the best or only option.
You can cope any way you want, but if your Builder was hit by hard times she wouldnt stay by your side.
Yeah that's all fine and dandy but I feel like that last part is pure projection and doesn't reflect reality.
Fair enough.
>pure projection
Pure projection from what you retard? I married a different superior girl, I dont have anything to project
i should strive to be the best because I want to make my wife proud, not because my wife demands that of me. amirah is trash
i am the best starting from the first month. it's her who does not deserve me
she'a s boring stick in the mud, and like other anons said is a gold digger. plus marrying her would mean getting arvio as your brother in law. fuck that
What’s the difference between this and portia?
complete overhaul of everything, universal praise
but shite location, desert sucks ass
Way more QoL, the people dont look like corporate art, darker story line than Portia and longer story. The only downside this game has compared to Portia is the location which definitely doesnt appeal to everyone
huge quality of life changes. it's also like x3 the length and has a lot more content. only downsides are the fishing minigame, wildwest/desert setting and atrocious accents.
I still dont know what sandstorms do in regards to "rare resources appear", i never seen anything change besides some retarded animals appearing.
shit costs more stamina if you arent wearing some kind of face covering
They just mean the animals. Essentially some animals have two "variants" depending on where they are and what level they are. For example with the weird husky penguin hybrids can drop emeralds in sandstorms that you cant get anywhere else until a very late game area.
A vulture also spawns near the scrapyard that drops relic bags and other items and all "enraged" enemies drop more resources and badges you can use to buy stuff from the civil store
I like these games when there's no need to form relationships, or talk that much.
How is the first game? Are they connected? Is this like stardew valley with no ending?
They mention Portia pretty often and multiple characters turn up, but im sure it wouldnt effect your experience if you had no clue who they were beforehand.
No the game has a pretty definite ending I would say. Theres one final cutscene which is pretty much "we did it, its over", you can continue playing after that but its a nice ending bow and honestly got me a bit emotional because the voice acting was actually good
>Theres one final cutscene which is pretty much "we did it, its over", you can continue playing after that but its a nice ending bow and honestly got me a bit emotional because the voice acting was actually good
You are talking about 1st or 2nd game now?
I played each patch throughout the early access so by the time the full release rolled around I'd already finished everything. It felt kinda hollow to FINALLY be able to build a factory yet have absolutely no need for it. Maybe I'll do a second playthrough at some point and try to marry a different girl, but I'll probably just end up with Grace again because she is by far the best. I'm going to guess Nia has more post-marriage content though as they clearly try to push you towards her.
Jasmine ain't the prettiest little girl, but she makes it up a hundredfold in personality

she's just salty it wasn't her mom.
matilda was a better face person anyway, trudy can barely string two words together
is it better than my time at portia? i felt like that game was a little shallow.
It's a lot better than Portia but if you didn't enjoy Portia you probably won't enjoy Sandrock. It's still very similar even if every aspect of it has been improved. It's a small improvement to every single thing rather than a major improvement to any one thing.
well that sounds alright since i liked most of portia, but it needed some polish in most areas and maybe expanded a bit
Harem mod when? I NEED to romance every living thing.
It got updated recently actually, dunno how buggy it is now
I keep having some unity crash, happens every 2 or 3 in-game days
so annoying
No homosexualry you say?
All homosexualry is optional aside from Unsuur's (or Nia's if you're playing as a female, but you're already willfully gay at that point anyway).
chinks are barely men
There is one gay person in Sandrock if you play as a dude, there is one lesbian if you play as a girl. By that I mean there is one person who will take the initiative with you without selecting any heart options
Everyone is playersexual though, so the homosexualry for everyone else is only there if you specifically pick the gay options
there's a HUGE difference between giving homosexuals and fujo role-players some fun versus shoving israelite mandated LGBT propaganda in your face dumbass
You do realize you're not forced to be gay in the game right? It's just an option for actual homosexuals to enjoy.
Does raising mount rarity even do anything? I feel like this horse is maxed out
Just sayibg that Mi-an's voice actor is boo from meatcanyon's monsters inc parody
What's the best weapon type? I went with greatswords but the tracking is shit
guns
Daggers + assault rifle for maximum fast.
FYI this game’s character creator straight up says Gender and not Body Type. Based.
that's going to change next time 😉
Characters don't look like 3d Big Mouth characters anymore, unlike My Time at Portia
they look like comfy CN cartoons, fuck you
Now show their in game models
it's mobile shovelware tier, but not disgusting as Big Mouth
phyllis has more meat on those hips than the rest of the girls combined
They look ugly, look at the size of their heads compared to their stick body.
I fucking hate you so fucking much you wouldn't believe. Imbeciles destroying entire art styles because can't see beyond "muh realism". FUCK YOU.
Portia looks like legitimate shit though. Sandrock is such a huge upgrade its unreal.
>Alice's thousand-yard stare
She's so fucking creepy
I also wish the game wasn't so blatantly biased towards Ginger, making her so easy to score points with AND giving her a whole special quest to marry her on top of it
I still ended up marrying Nora instead
Do they censor the black guy in the chinese version of the game?
Censor what? Hes a goofy retard
Usually they get model swapped to something else in chinese games
sound hilarious, examples?
So.. why are the people in this series so retarded. Mainly about technology? Because their churches whole thing is full of more holes than Swiss cheese
Their church is correct purely because the end of the world literally did happen and it was because of technology. The pastor from Portia is only a couple of generations away from his ancestors who lived underground in shelters due to the apocalypse.
Sandrock builds on that theme, by essentially doubling down on the idea that technology itself isnt dangerous, but in the wrong hands it becomes dangerous.
However, everyone could do with being more cautious with it. By the end of Sandrock you develop an Air cannon that can fire projectiles strong enough to incapacitate people, full on war time airships, mass produce weaponry and explosives and a couple nations are already in a cold war that could erupt into warfare at any time
They lived 300 years without seeing the sun because of a tech apocalypse, that's enough to turn anyone into a luddite extremist
Are the final tier of weapons you can craft (the level 55 ones) better than the laser gauntlet and laser sword? I've already completed everything and have no need for weapons any more, but I never built them and I'm curious. Just in terms of stats I mean, the sword beams and palm laser probably still make those weapons win out in terms of usefulness.
what's wrong builder-kun?
could it be you're...

Cheapest bitch to befriend with yakmel milk and rib meat.
I didn't even bother trying to befriend anyone via gifts. Too hard to remember what everyone likes. I maxed everyone via the party function instead. Super easy to just throw two parties every week and just invite those who don't post a lot of requisitions.
you don't have to remember. it's tracked in the social page under their likes
Yeah if you happen to gift it to them once. I'm not going around gifting people when everyone already loves me for my parties.

You can rename your workshop if you buy a rename thing at the city hall

Holy shit, another person that played Planet Explorers?
I never thought I'd see the day
About to play Portia and then Sandrock, is there lots of farming or are there better sources of money making?
Doing commissions will get you all the money you need. You CAN make a decent amount of money off of farming but its supplementary compared to commissions and you'll want to keep a stock of produce on hand at all times for commissions anyway. I never bothered selling my crops.
Got it, thanks. As long as I don't need to do large scale farming that's good, lazy to do it on a daily basis.
In Portia the real money maker is fishing but it's boring as fuck
I can't fucking design home for shit man aaaah help me, my home is still the rectangle shit you got from the start
Perfection need no changes, enjoy.
Same. I also have like 9 clay pots in there because they won’t stack in the inventory.
Is a barn or any of the animals worth raising? Is seems like a lot of home space for little reward.
You end up with more space than you need quite quickly. They are definitely not worth it if you are currently struggling for machine space however. Yakmel milk is provided in such abundance that it's basically infinite HP in any mission, and the fertilizer is always useful as well. Eggs are kinda handy for cooking too. You do gain profit off of each animal you raise, and that profit isn't insignificant. I found myself raising animals to adulthood, storing a week's worth of produce or so, and then selling them for profit and purchasing babies again. It's potentially worth always maintaining one adult Yakmel for a constant source of milk independent of your growing cycle. But yes, in general, I think it's worth raising animals even if only to sell them upon maturity if you have the space for it.
Thanks. Space is tight right now. I built 12 dew collectors which maybe too much. I don’t even have a stable because no room and I accidentally skipped the ridding tutorial. Is there any special animals I need to save spots for? Do chickens reproduce on their own?
I have finished the game and have like 15 fully refined max level dew collectors and I still sometimes run out of water if I don't buy it from the store or have my pets hunt for water rather than other shit. It would be very difficult to have too many dew collectors, although you may have more than necessary relative to your machine count currently. You should keep the extras rather than sell them for the time being because you'll probably want them later (unless you never bother growing plants). Having said that, I have an unnecessarily large crop field (200 tiles or so) which is a water drain. I just like having my workshop filled with foliage. Later on you'll get helpers who collect dew automatically, so you can just place all of your dew collectors on your roof and not worry about space consumption or having to loot from them manually.
Nothing reproduces on its own, and there are no "special" animals aside from a story mount you get towards the end.
>15 fully refined max level dew collectors
Refining dew collectors is absolutely useless. It doesn't increase their collection rate and increased capacity is useless due to evaporation.
>and increased capacity is useless
it's useful for collecting rain water. yes, that only happens like once every year, but still
It's a factor during rain, which automatically fills them to full - and that's what tricked me into refining them all in the first place. Unfortunately I never again experienced rain after the forced story rainfall and I don't know if that's just because it was never implemented until the full release (and I finished the new sidequests within one in-game week of the full release and thus haven't spent much time in 1.0) or if rain chances are so astronomically low it just never happened again in the year or so which passed in my game after the story rain. When I initially refined them all I had hoped rain would actually become a thing but it never did.
I am playing the new release and almost finished with the first year and no rain yet. I have not had the story event for it. Good to know not to upgrade them.
the story rain happened during first spring for me, so in the second year (since you start in summer)
Should I play Portia first?
Yes. It's a good game but the storage management sucks, and with the storage improvements in Sandrock you'll find it nearly impossible to deal with in Portia if you ever end up playing it second.
no
just use one of the presets and go from there
At least Coral Island lets the male MC also be tall and big like some NPCs.
You look like a fucking child in Portia/Sandrock and get utterly mogged by most male NPCs to the point of oblivion
I have two questions:
1) How is the previous game, Portia? Worth playing? Because it's on Humble Bundle right now.
2) How are clothes working in this game? Easily to make and mix or rare?
Thanks for replies.
Portia sucks. It's a decent first attempt, but Sandrock is the superior version by far.
Clothes are plentiful and can be obtained through story rewards, crafting and buying.
Also, stop typing like a homosexual.
How would you make my sentences more "manly" then? Because I don't understand what was wrong with it.
There's no need for an into or outro; just pretend you're talking to a person.
By the way, have you gotten the Gankerx extension yet? Also, you can use the 'tomorrow' style for dark mode (can be changed at the bottom of the page).

I dunno guys, nine of the recent clones look appealing.
Stardew Valley was a mistake
Maybe, but it will also remain an unattainable ideal for a while, just because any clone released today is going to have sweetbaby-level character design and writing, completely killing the escapist aspect of the game.
>Maybe, but it will also remain an unattainable ideal for a while
Only among homosexuals who play it for dating sim, not video game.
None of the clones have good gameplay either and none are advertised for gameplay (cf. this thread).

Are you retarded? Life sim gameplay is nothing but left clicking resources, Stardew Valley isn't any better in that regard
Stardew never hooked me like Portia/Sandrock did
I think the main difference with SDV isn't 3d, it's that these games are more quest driven rather than being a complete Sandbox
Name nine of them
i'm addicted to doing commissions
tfw no gf to play sandrock with
>That price for shitty Switch version
Hopefully they'll drop it for Christmas, maybe add some more patches to it to make it more polished.
Do not play it on switch. Pathea games have,and always will be PC games with shit ports
Damn, that's really fucking sad. It'd be perfect for Switch, but eh I guess.
>can't adopt deputy captain
shit game, into the trash
he doesn't need you he has a successful career and can buy his own dried fish
Dan-bi divorce and marriage route when
Why she ended up marrying that guy is beyond me, there needs to be an option to make her divorce him so you can have her instead.
She's Chinese, why would you want to?

Honestly pretty damn great. I thought it was closer to an expanded 3D Stardew Valley, but come to think of it Rune Factory could be an inspiration a well. Note that if you wanted to try a similar title, My Time At Portia is its predecessor Also all these games run pretty much flawlessly on Linux; its kind of a pity they dropped native support though as one of their earlygames (free to play now!) called Planet Explorers (a survival crafting that's pretty damn well done especially for its age) had native Linux support back in 2016 or so. Still, that was before the Deck and Proton so I kinda get it.
Sandrock is a step forward from Portia and even includes multiplayer; yes, you can even have relationships with players and share a comfy life , in addition to a variety of NPC waifus and husbandos etc. There's also even more depth to the already great minigames, story, dungeon crawling, lore etc.. and the new setting is a more Westernpunk one than Portia. Both titles I think are worthwhile though if you like this type of game, somewhere between Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley and other titles.
The only thing I don't like is that, unless some shit has changed, they stuck a handful of the cosmetics behind stupidly expensive (ie $200-300+) Kickstarter packages, pets etc. I know because I got even the Deluxe (around $80) kickstarter to support them and it doesn't come with all the special shit like the fanciest outfits. Now you can probably hack them in, but no idea if it fucks with an online game or wil be visible to other players if you don't have them auth'd. I don't mindexpensive CUSTOM "create a ____" style things, but it gets annoying when games, especially single player or non-MMO types lock stuff away behind Kickstarter exclusive, not to mention multiple tiers of expensive stuff. If they made them avaialbleto everyone down the line that would be fine, even as paid DLC, but never a fan of exclusivity for cosmetics. Overall great game, tho

just pirate
Or use creaminstaller if you already bought it, works like a charm
Already have it from Kickstarter. However I am curious if you use creaminstaller will your account get flagged if you're playing onlinewith unauth'd DLCs (by either Steam or the devs) and will it fully function in multiplayer or will nobody else be able to see any of those items and it only renders clientside for you but you appear naked or in some default attire to everyone else?
Steam never gave a shit about dlc unlockers, and I don't think Pathea does a server side check but I can't confirm that. Big multiplayer games will detect you but for anything solo you're fine
I would hope Pathea wouldn't bother with it - its a bit annoying that even the "cheap" wedding clothes (both the lightand the dark style) were a separate $15 KS purchase that I apparently missed and wasn't included in even the $80 pack; the other stuff was for $200.
https://antifandom.com/mytimeatsandrock/wiki/Kickstarter#Kickstarter-exclusive_items
I'd easily give them a couple bucks extra for all this stuff, but $200 seemed excessive and I can hope that non KS backers will be given a chance to buy it later. Otherwise, guess it will be creaminstaller provided there is no risk of getting banned; I read that on some games with server side checks you didn't get outright banned from online play or whatnot if detected , you would simply get some sort of "authorization for THING_ID not verified and cannot be loaded" which at least lets you know its not gonna work without fucking you over.

Meh goals
They won't, don't worry. Bigger studios like Paradox never bothered to crack down on it.
I wasnt expecting much from the combat but god damn its ass. Half your attacks whiff due to shitty tracking and there is like no feedback to anything. A bull turned into a comet and charged into my character and my character just stands there with a number popping up over his head, doesnt even say "ow"
>homosexualy orange haired pasty white nerd
>semi well designed asian character
>overly masculine brown guy
>purple haired strong independent brown dyke
Heh, yep, it's modern gaming time.
There is no asian characters at OP pic and "brown" is actually mediterranean.
did you seriously call cooper a white nerd
I think hes talking about mason?
I think he means the husband of Dan-bi
he’s blonde, and his post is referring to op pic
My mistake. I guess he is a discord tranny that never played the game.
>FB_IMG
Heh, yep, it's modern Ganker time.

KYS my dude.
A game by bugmen, for bugmen. Avoid.
is this a good switch game? i need a good laying in bed for an hour or two before sleep game.
Its probably pretty comfy for that. No idea how it performs on Switch though. Now Steam Deck on the other hand...
So how do I get a pet and how to I get unlimited water
There's a quesst you need to do in order to unlock the pet whistle and learn how to build pet houses. After that, you have to basically befriend the animals sufficiently to "adopt" them and have them come live with you.
>pirate game to see if i like it, and make the mistake of checking my mail
>immediately get bombarded with shit that takes up all my inventory space
I hate this
>Filtered by mail
I pirated too and I solved that by opening all the mail to remove notifications but I didnt take the items.
As I played more and more I took more of them out and even sold quite a few, but some of those items make great gifts so dont sell them all.
so what is this game? i've veen looking for something comfy to play.
3d stardew valley esque game with a strong emphasis on an actual story. Its also more about the mining and crafting shit than about farming, though you can farm
I've played 25 hours of Portia last year and took a break to play something else (don't remember what).
Should I start Sandrock or should I "finish" portia first? I'm leaning on restarting portia to maximise my comfy gametime, but I've also got Coral Island that I wanna play eventually.
I guess my question is: does Sandrock make Portia irrelevant enough to skip? (so I don't burn myself out before getting to Sandrock)
portia takes like 100 hours so I don't know if you want to follow up a 100 hour game with another 100 hour game
So uhh, any other places where one can buy those nice Desert Rose pictures? Asking for a friend

Name my musical trio.
you've already made this post in a previous thread
Just had a tea party event. what the actual fuck? ok, so pablo was a disgusting homosexual, that much i already new. but amirah and heidi gossipping about people behind their backs and airing their dirty laundry? that's just disgusting. my opinion of those characters plummeted
You mean the gossiping hair dresser and gossiping women that visit the place were actually gossiping? How stupid does one have to be to not know that women and hairdressers always gossip?
>owen throws a shindig at the bluemoon to celebrate rainfall. cooper and hugo will be there playing music

soulful jank
Cooper smelled like cat piss.
Pablo confirmed he doesn't even shower.
why would he, you think they have the water to spare for stuff like that?
>first sandstorm since the tutorial one
