Thoughts on the current status of the game?

[JAMG]

Im planning to buy the bundle (mostly for infra) but im not a big fan of early access games, does the game feel completeish?

I bought it a couple weeks ago and have 57 hours. I think I'm near the end of 'story' content, but the dev seems to be adding things at a fairly quick pace. There's definitely a lot of content if you like what the game offers.

50 hours sounds great for EA, thanks.

I picked it up 2 weeks ago and am sitting at 135 hrs. I would say there is enough content to keep you busy for a bit. More is even on the way. This isn't you typical early access game, most the meat is there Easily worth full asking price.

this is one of the best games I've ever played

A bit buggy, a bit unbalanced, lacks some content, but generally playable and quite enjoyable already. It's definitely a good kind of Early Access. If you get it now you'll get a good game you can play and have fun with already and have a lot more to be excited about in the future.

Honestly, there's more than enough content here to constitute a "complete" game - and there's a whole lot more to look forward too as well. Devs are working hard and constantly updating things (check the github!)

I'd overwhelmingly recommend it right now.

While it's not complete, it's one of those absolute gems that is well worth getting.

This is easily one of my favorite games. When the last update was releasing "soon" I was checking the store page every day from work for a few months. There is easily enough to do to last you more than your money's worth and I don't believe this will be a forever early access game. I'd buy the bundle if I didn't already own the games.

The game is great but there's a ton instability issues between versions. You may have to abandon a save you put a of time into because it keeps crashing your pc. So I would say it doesn't feel polished or complete at all.

This is sort of incorrect?

I'm a playtester, which means the playtest branch is continually being updated with new versions, and so my save transfers between many builds of the game - and I have yet to even encounter a crash.

As for the main branch, it is generally recommend to restart your save between major updates (such as the mines for example), especially as major updates tend to revamp areas / mechanics / interactions outside of the main content addition. However, it is not generally a *requirement* - but, as is the nature of games that have updates, there is indeed always a risk of instability.

When purchasing an early access game, you're signing up for the fact the game experience will change and grow over time, and thus bugs are no doubt certain to appear over time as the game is fully completed. However, crediting update / version-change bugs to making the polish level downgrade feels a little unfair, when the actual gameplay and experience *is* polished.

I wouldn't mind seeing some more furniture to decorate with, maybe the ability to cast molds with clay too.

I did over 100hr in less than a month, might be a record for me. But then again, I've wanted a game just like this for YEARS before finding it out.

It already exists. Seek out the recipes.

A common suggestion on the discord is to go into saves and delete location saves to fix stability in saves and a recent update caused an issue with particular locations causing a crash. Both Caves and Tenament B are examples. If you're a playtester you should be well aware of the issues I'm referring to.

I am only ~35h into the game but so far it is great. I wonder why it works fine on my potato PC with with i5-2500 + GTX 1060, but it constantly crashes on my new rig with Ryzen 7 7700 + RX 7900 GRE. I have to play on my potato PC for stable experience, sad.
