Original Deiland Game

[FamilyGuy0395]

I've noticed the original Deiland release has been delisted from Steam for some reason. Can you guys at least make it so customers who purchase this edition (Pocket Planet) get the original release as well? I'm very passionate on video game preservation and I'd hate to see that original game get lost to history for no reason.

Why didn't you think about that earlier? lol

I didn't even know the game existed until I found it was delisted.

Also, even if I did, how does this excuse the game getting delisted? I've encountered so many people on Steam with your condescending attitude it's unbelievable to me.

I own the original and it is not very good. Having said that, I'm curious about it being delisted as well. Are they hoping to address the criticisms of the original, or just bury its mixed review scores?

сделали однажды игру, продали, теперь поменяли название и вновь продают, а ловко они придумали

I would also like to see a response from the developers on this. It rings some alarm bells to be honest.

Original game trailer 2018 looks almost identical to this new version so what happened or what changed?

They are also promoting another kickstarter title already before this new Deiland version is even out.

Sure they can be working on multiple games, many studios do but to remove an almost identical game from the store just seems odd or like they are covering something up.

it seems like the exact same game. maybe even a little less from the original, i don't get it.
if you own the original, why buy/play this one. the art for the characters have changed a tiny bit (i liked the original better), everything seems watered down.


edit: just saw the link for the original owners to get pocket edition for free when released, because of publishers or something?

From what I understand, we are either getting more or the same as the original version with content. The big deal here is the original game had very game breaking bugs to the point some could not complete the game. I myself had to fiddle with a game file after someone explained how to fix the bug. More or less people were getting stuck in the quest lines because an item was not dropping in spite of the game saying it had.

So the theory old owners are hoping for is this edition fixes the previous bugs so everyone can enjoy it.

As for the link, that's because the developer and publisher parted ways and the form was so old owners could get a free copy of this new edition. The dev says they can't do it in the traditional way through steam itself due to the separation.

What's the difference between this game and original deiland?

Season System: With Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, the whole game changes.

New content, recipes, structures and crops.

Graphics and gameplay improvements.

New music themes, exclusive for the Pocket Planet Edition.

Unfortunately there's nothing indicating that they expanded the ridiculously short storyline that ended abruptly. As far as I can tell, aside from improved graphics and additional music, the only thing they improved and expanded was the sandbox elements.

Yeah...hate to say it, but this appears to be a thinly-veiled attempt to re-release the original with a few new colors.

From all I can see, this is not a new game, or even a "re-imagining" of the original game. It's just the original game with enough visual changes to make those of us who played it say, "Eh, it does look a bit different."

My guess? They de-listed the original so that less people would be aware of this probable scam.

Of course, Deiland had less than 10 hours of content, so it wouldn't be difficult to add a bit more. Still, this seems pretty scammy to me.

I played the original, but didn't even realize this was a thing until I was browsing the upcoming games.

Is this the same version that came out on the Switch not too long ago? I watched a review on it; I thought it was a port of the original and figured the reviewer just missed some features because he really didn't seem into it, but being a different version might also explain it.

Edit: The trailer does show some of the features he didn't talk about, so I guess that's good? But other than the graphics, I'm having a hard time telling what's different from the original.

I think its because of the 3rd party program they added on the old game made alot of negative reviews on it, that they wanted to re-upload the game as a diffrent game with more content and stuff they never wanted to add on the old game. Plus i think this "new" game is gonna be more focus on controllers only, and less on keyboard.
I only found out about Deiland being removed on steam store page when i was looking for how bad the reviews rating was on it.

Fingers crossed they fixed the gamebreaking bugs as well. Too many people literally could not make progress from them.

Yeah, I played a bit then just dropped it completely and have never felt any desire to play it again.
