A whirring noise looms inside...

[An actual duck]

On your farm in the bottom right corner is a dilapidated structure that when inspected says, "A whirring noise looms inside..." Using Tess' gadget she will say it sounds like a Chorus and she will be able to tell you more when her invention is finished.

Anyone ever figure out what to do here? I've tried rubbing a bunch of different things on it but haven't achieved anything, and Tess has completed a few inventions now with no mention of what to do with the shack

You sit there and wonder what it does, that is all it is meant to do for now. The dev hasn't implemented anything around this yet.

Oh. To sound like an asshat for a second, I thought this was a finished game, it's not advertised as early access

I was disappointed with this too. Mainly because he teases it constantly by referencing it in loading screens. If it's future content, don't tease the player in to looking for it.

Anyhow, I disagree with your definition of a finished game. If a developer wants to keep adding side content (or even expand on the main content) after the main story of a game is complete, let them. If they're going to add it for free, a la Terraria, even better.

Adding content later on is fine but it's new content all around in games like Terraria. Alluding to something in game that can not be accessed yet is unfinished content, that's different. It'd be like Terraria having all the stuff needed to summon a boss but not the boss itself at launch.

If getting from point A to point B is all that is required for a game to be finished then the entire idea of a finished product is arbitrary because you can pick any two points and say, "That's the goal of the game, everything else is extra." My opinion is when you have literally unfinished things in your game, especially at launch, then your game is unfinished.

Steam is not letting me post larger posts right now. It's giving me error messages. Just wasted like 2 hours troubleshooting.

Anyhow, cut content in games at release is NOT new. It's got 40 odd years of history.

He could have handled it better. However, I don't think it being there makes the game incomplete,

That is the abridged version of what I wish I could post...

In short, the sole developer for the game had/has plans for it but set a deadline for when the game was to be in full release and ran into that deadline before he could add in the extras that he wanted to. This, and a few other things didn't make it, and are thus 'future content easter eggs'

2 years later and it's not implemented yet :')
but a great game nonetheless (that I'm playing at this moment btw)
