Less of a focus on farming, more of a focus on grinding up your other skills. If you'd like there is a pretty basic freebie demo you can try out from the kickstarter that gives you the best idea of the core gameplay loop.

Thanks for sharing a demo

It's what sold me on the game so I figured it's the fastest way for someone to see if they like it or not. :3

It's nothing like Stardew Valley.

To begin with, it doesn't have an in-game clock timer - its action turn based. So I can sit here typing junk and I can go straight back to the game and nothing has changed until I chop a tree or pick some fruit. You sleep at night which occurs when you've used up all your energy (or pass out and lose some energy next game day.)

The game concept revolves around mining resources to upgrade buildings or building houses for villagers and designing your town.

You say it's "nothing like stardew" yet your key difference is time progression mechanics?
This game is obviously very much like Stardew valley and it's probably its main source of inspiration.

The influences are animal crossing, dark cloud, and runescape. Sean has said so himself. Honestly, the only way it's really like Stardew is that it's relaxing, and u can be friends with people, which is pretty common in a lot of games.

This game is almost exactly like Stardew valley except you're building a town instead of a farm. Interacting with townfolk, farming, harvesting building materials, leveling up crafting skills, fishing, town event schedule, limited actions per day, museum building, pixel art, and so on and so on.
Y'all are fooling yourselves saying they're completely different. They're two twists on the same exact concept. Of course Sean wouldn't name it as an influence, since it's practically a clone.

In other words, this game is similar to Animal Crossing.
P.S.: The "pixel art" argument is amazing! %)

Maybe! I like to think of it more as a 2D Animal Crossing with RPG elements. The main focus is town building, interacting with the Townsfolk, and mastering new hobbies. :)

i like the timer mechanic in littlewood better than the one Stardew has. you can play littlewood at a more relaxed pace. in stardew its like it saves at 6am when your new day started almost forcing you to keep playing. in a way this is good but a lot of players may like a little freedom of time management in their games. you can pause stardew but multiplayer feels like its forcing you to keep playing. maybe others won't see it this way. most games have a little more freedom when you want to stop playing. stardew has some mods to freeze time but you have to keep those up to date with the game.

I Wholeheartedly agree, also Stardew without Mods or multiplayer is quite tedious to play, whereas Littlewood as a game built entirely around SP isn't tedious at all.

I like Stardew, but feel Littlewood paces the game better for players.
