Pass out mechanic really annoying

[wyldfae28]

So I may be in the minority here as I have never played Stardew Valley. I did put several thousand hours into Animal Crossing New Horizons. And ages ago. Harvest Moon. As a result of tons of AC, I got quite accustomed to running about my island til the wee hours farming, fishing, catching bugs, designing my island and talking to villagers. I am a night owl and rarely go to bed before 2 am.
Having my CI character literally fall over and pass out at the stroke of 1 am feels terribly odd. Even if she still has stamina. Stamina as a mechanic isn't anything new, but as long as I have some, it just feels strange to have an arbitrary bedtime...or else. And the cost is steep. I am not a fan. Surely there are night owls among the residents of Starlet Town? Does the entire town mysteriously fall unconscious at 1 am? Are we under an evil spell? Lol. Are there aliens doing experiments on us during the night? It doesn't feel natural. Given the short time we are permitted during a typical "day" to accomplish so very many things, I would love the ability to stay up later. Even running the game on 50% speed, which still feels fast since I was accustomed to real time which meant I could play for many hours in one day, my game still feels rushed. I love a relaxed game. My real life is stressful, and I don't want my game life to be the same. Perhaps the devs may eventually allow more flexibility in the pace of the game and the hours of allowed activity. I appreciate that you can at least slow it down to 50%. I can't imagine playing at "normal" speed. There's too much to do! Anyway, just my two cents. CI is a beautiful game, and a real achievement in so many ways. Looking forward to the official release version.

Get up at 6 in the morning, work a farm all day and tell me again you won't pass out at 1 in the night...

The mechanic is totally fine imho.

I personally dislike the pass out mechanic lots and prefer the way it works in games like rune factory, where instead you get sick if you are awake past a certain time, making your stamina usage double until the next day you go to sleep or get it healed by a doctor. If I want to be awake 24/7 with such a debuff, let me? :D I mean, we can already change how long a day lasts, so why can't this be a thing too?

I'm use to it - I try to be in bed on time all the time.. My time at Portia - I didn't give a toss, as there was no penalisation for passing out. You just got transported home.. But yeah most of the games i play there, is a if you get killed or pass out factor you pay heavily.. What I don't like is if you have to use the I'm stuck button because the game is bugging out, and you get heavily punished because their game is a little glitchy at times, now that to me feels wrong. But I different topic i guess.
