This is just a Stardew Valley Clone

[turvarya]

And Stardew Valley was just a clone of Harvest Moon.

It's like people take games, they like and try to improve on them.
Has anybody ever thought about that?

[Warbear]

And Tekken is just a streetfighter clone, and world of warcraft is just an EverQuest clone.

This may be a shock to you, but there can be more than one game of the same genre.

[Arandur87]

Same genre =/= clone though.

Yes, Stardew copied many ideas from Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons and what not. True. But Coral Island straight out copied basically everything from Stardew 1 to 1, even the idea for the story/motivation to build your farm.
The museum? The mine? The "Community Center" aka Shrine. I mean, come on.

It's not a bad thing to copy good stuff, but outright reskinning a game is something else^^

This thread again..... you guys are insane.

[The_K00lDude]

You really ain't played many games have you? It's been this way since the first ever created game.

Text games were copies of text games. There where pong clones, Mario clones and the list goes on....

The main difference that seems to be lost on people is that a lot of so-called "copies" took a genre/format and expanded or evolved it. From what I'm reading about this game, it's a straight-up 1 to 1 clone like you mentioned, just 3D.

I have an idea for all you people: Don't buy it and let the rest of us enjoy it in peace.

… you haven’t even played it lmfao. How are you even allowed to comment on it if you haven’t even tried it? Honestly there should be a rule where you must have at least an hour of playtime on a game before running to the discussion boards to talk sh1t on a game that JUST came out days ago. It is not a stardew reskin. It’s not an animal crossing reskin. This game deserves praise, this game wasn’t made by a huge established company, it was crowdfunded. In less than 36 hours I might add. Yes, games can have things in common idk why y’all aren’t complaining about NFS vs Forza??? Or Super Smash Bros vs Mortal Kombat. Or any FPS I mean really how different are they all down to their core? If you simplify something so much like y’all are doing, then yeah it can be “the same thing” as *any* game 🤷🏻‍♀️ You’re watering it down to make it comparable to games in its own genre.

This again? Why are people so obsessed with this? It is very similar to SV and there are a lot of cloned mechanics but also there are a lot of improvements and different things, that's exactly what SV did, it took A LOT of cloned things from HM, SoS and Rune FActory but also made some new things, it's exactly the same situation but y'all wanna think that SV is somehow less than a clone, go back to play SV and stop complaining on other games forums you people are doing nothing but being boring, repetitive and unreasonable.

Don't know if you mean me or the other dude, but I played to summer on the gamepass version. I don't have to own the game on steam to be able to talk about it.
Probably progressed through more game mechanics than plenty other people.

Yes, every major game mechanic is a straight 1 to 1 copy, they are not even trying to hide it.
The only really new thing adding to the genre is the diving stuff. But than, it's just harvesting stuff with a sickle underwater^^

I espacially said: copying stuff is not bad. I don't get why people get so defensive about something, if they feel somebody said something negative.
If you think copying good stuff is negative, it's a you problem.
I enjoy the game, but it absoluety is a 90% straight copy with 3D models, a different setting (Island vs temperate/hilly village) and 1 addiotional feature.

Is it bad? No.
Is it reinventing the wheel and deserving praise? Not really.

turvarya, you are just a Stardew Valley clone! Arandur87 = just another person who is obsessed with Stardew Valley and who can't handle the idea of any other farming simulation game! Shadowblades: needs to learn to think for himself instead of judging things based on what he has read and what others have told him!

Learn to read. Like seriously. But whatever. Bath in your fanboy tears and defend a game I didn't even negatively critisize.
I'm out, this game discussion board here is full of defensive kids jumping on everyone saying something they feel offended by. Just wow.

BEST!!

[PRØMETHƎŲS]

You don't have to look that deep into it, the layout of the farm and some parts of the map look interestingly identical to Stardew Valley

[Cutlass Jack]

All games are just Pong clones.

At least this one knows that Stardew Valley is not OG like many people that try this thread
