That feels like it’s meant as goals for multiple playthroughs. Like the Harvest Goddess in old Harvest Moon games.

For me, it really scratched that itch and it did it very well.

I think Sandrock is a great step forward over Portia. To the degree that I'm very enthusiastic to see where they go with the series. That being said, the game often felt like too little butter scraped over too much bread.

Biggest complaint with Sandrock is that it never felt like any craft was a challenge to chase and most of the time was spent waiting for the story to progress. Still a fantastic game and would happily replay if there's ever a story xpac or whatever.

Rynoto posted:Biggest complaint with Sandrock is that it never felt like any craft was a challenge to chase and most of the time was spent waiting for the story to progress. Yeah. I completely agree with this. We are supposed to be the best "builder" but the building almost feels like a step back from Portia. I am all for getting rid of the rough edges in games, but it felt like there was basically never friction with any of the builds. Almost every single new building project, I was able to deliver same day. At most, I would wait a single day. And then after doing that, you end up having to wait 2-5 more days for the story to progress. It becomes hard to not get obscenely ahead of the curve with resources. We all talk about the carbon-steel bottleneck in Portia, but at least that's something to talk about. Not a single build in Sandrock felt memorable in the same way.

What can even be significantly different beyond "who you marry"? Everything else seems like it would play out basically the same. It's not like there are meaningfully different "builds" to try out.

They're also working on a mobile game but that's phones only. No PC client.

Extremely late on this, but about Catori and her child: The game has Chinese dev. In China, it is not unusual (e.g.: ~10-20% frequency in smaller towns and cities) for one or both parents to go and get a job in a bigger city, leaving the children with the remaining (grand)parent. This isn't something that is seen as desirable - it's a sad story and sort of implies that someone messed up at some point - but it's not uncommon. Location shifts like this can bring literally ~3x-5x salary. But since fresh transplants have no chance of buying a house in the new city, they can't enter their children into that school system, so they have to leave them in the hometown. I'm not hugely social but I still know two people who came to the city where i live without their children, and another acquaintance recently left for a regional capital without their son. So if you're wondering why Catori was written that way, keep in mind that from the writer's perspective it was meant to signify "sad backstory, loser-ish, complicated", not "automatically terrible person".
