How much content is in the game?

[Bartowski]

The game looks pretty cool, and something id like. Im just wondering how much stuff there is to do. Is it comparable to either stardew valley, or graveyard keeper?

Not much content that I hear, several have completed game in 1 day

what?!?

[Xilo The Odd]

dont know how big the map is myself, not really rushing through it i've gone 5 hours and havn't "completed" the game.

thre are also plans for more content in the future anyway.

[Rhah]

I read the first impressions (6 hours post) and from my understanding is there will be a small bug patch after release of today, but new content is not planned. Least I only seen information about a small patch. Nothing about dlc or content other than people wishing there was, and some saying not buying until they have some road map or further content information from development. As of currently most think there is not enough content

nothing like either of those games and there is not much content. i would suggest waiting to see if they decide to add more stuff :D

The devs have already confirmed several times they are working on more content, but they have not said yet whether or not that is DLC or patches.

Wait for a price drop to ~10-15 USD or an expansion pack >10 hours.

Don't buy games on expectations of further content, you pay for a game as is, and the developers don't owe you anything else.

I’m certainly not paying for a shell of a game and then paying again and again to fill it up. I have asked them twice directly if the content will be paid or free. They are silent, so that probably tells you the answer.

[trymebiitch]

the game feels like early access. annoying bugs and not enough contents

I believe the question was how much content is in the game, not how much content will be. Even compared to Dont Starve at day one release this game is severely lacking.

First part yes, second part no.
Your view is outdated and belongs into the games development industry of the 90s.
The digital age of gaming became different.
Post Launch support is key for success and building a loyal playerbase.
Companies like Klei could sing a song about how true that is.
Either a studio adapts to that mentality or loses.
Petroglyph for example is also still stuck in the past and loses people constantly.


They have a decision to make.
Either they accept the sales figures of the game now and dont invest more money into post launch support or they see the potential for higher sales figures and invest into more post launch support.
Selling games on steam means a potential customer base between 80million-1 billion people.
So its basically unlimited.
A game not being supported post launch means, it will stop generating revenue.
A game constantly being supported means people buy it even years after release.


Regarding the first half of your sentence, thats true.
You should buy a game only with how it is right now and maybe weight in what was officially announced, but not because of it.
Doing it this way prevents becoming mad for not getting what you want or expected.

It might be a case of milage may vary? From what the store page says the maps are randomly generated so someone could get a relatively straight forward map that's easy to navigate and see everything while another person might get a very large and intricate map that would take many more hours to complete.
