Coral Island's Update is MUCH Bigger Than Expected 😱 | Thinking Out Loud 💬

[@seandunbarillustration]

It's so hard to choose but I think just the scope of the mermaid kingdom is so much more than I ever expected. The new NPCs along with whatever else is waiting underwater is my most anticipated addition.

[@SunnySummerSkies]

I'm really looking forward to this update. I play games quite a bit, but CI has been the game with my most play time by far over the last year or so

I can’t get over how much will be in this update 😮

[@oraclecardmessages]

I always love your breakdown of the developer updates. It is so much better than just reading the content. Plus appreciate your thoughts!

[@TiffanyLynn44]

I’m super interested in seeing how relationships with the towns people is going to work in multiplayer. Like what if two of you want to marry Nina? lol

[@FayeBDragon]

Coral Island once again showing how to make a game playable for years to come. So many wonderful surprises!

[@gogirl709]

Everything looks great I just wish they would give us an ETA for 1.1. Looking forward to picking this game up again!

[@keebmoving]

unpopular opinion, wish they would develop on the characters more, expanding the story and relationship with the NPCs. more interactions or places to hangout with them. it is such a big update, just none interesting enough for me to get back into the game. a little bit all over the place even.

[@sisco_indigo]

I agree. I have no doubt they will expand on that eventually

[@dahliamed3592]

I agree. The personalities imo are a bit lacking compared to my time at sandrock.

[@keebmoving]

@@dahliamed3592 very much so, even portia is better. I’m honestly confused with where they’re going atp.

[@kristensadana8097]

They are adding a new 'hangout' mechanic and lots of new locations as part of the Town Rank A storyline. I think they are also continually worked on more 'slice of life" cutscenes and you have ther Merfolk character interactions all new. I htink the new locations will add a lot of new interactions at least, I hope.

[@puripuribuns]

i agree, i have 120 hours and although the characters are nice. i fel like once i'm done romancing them, then that's it.

[@cyberfrogs4269]

The more I see, the more I know this will get me back into the game

[@DemonHuntress4HIM]

I am most excited about the Savanah Biome. I can't wait to explore all the nooks and crannies. Second, is the Merfolk. I am curious to see what situations/events will occur among our "under the sea" friends.

[@Gluckdrache]

Can't wait for the games actual full release :)

[@ianesgrecia8568]

Here is the funny thing. They are already 'fully released' even thou everyone knows that the game is incomplete. They are at least demanding full release cost

[@FirelillyHeals]

It’s been so long since the last update, and I’ve been dying for more content 😬😬 I can’t wait for this one

[@katrin428]

with the dino costumes for our farm animals we could create a little jurassic park :) maybe there will be a stone age type furniture set to go with the dino costumes. I think mythical creatures would also make cute animal costumes like unicorns, pegasus, griffins, phoenixes, etc. :)

[@seabass4984]

So excited to play Coral Island again! I've been waiting for the update!

[@ashleybrown3237]

I finally purchased a steam deck after years of waiting to play this game and I can't wait for it to arrive! Going through a bunch of your videos for a refresher ❤️

[@ianesgrecia8568]

And yet they did not finished the actual plot game of the giants, just literally took out the cutscenes of the 4th fire giant on the village and the "WIP" quest.

[@jackb8607]

Thanks for the video Sarah! I actually voted for the in game gacha as my most anticipated feature revealed in this dev diary, but it’s difficult because I’m literally excited for everything!

[@xyj_rocx]

I truly adore CI. I've always thought this game has so much potential. Ngl. I am so excited for the dinosaurs lol 🦕

[@nellekx]

i quit coral island because it kept crashing (i never have this problem with other games). such a shame because i was really enjoying it

[@sisco_indigo]

That’s interesting coral island has never crashed on me

[@LaurenFlorio]

This game has sooooo many bugs and crashes constantly. I also had to quit. Incredibly frustrating that they released the game unfinished and fully unplayable.

[@dominiquecollins9967]

@@sisco_indigome neither! I play the sims and that game to me is unplayable. Coral island has been so amazing reliable to me. ❤

So excited can't wait! appreciate your thoughts thanks Sarah

Thank you Sarah

[@Lili_-cb7lt]

Just got this game like a week ago on my ps5 and so far I’m enjoying heard so many good reviews about this game 😇

[@lymmontijo87]

I just wish they finished the storyline with the giants and that temple with the monkeys…

[@sisco_indigo]

What if the story never ends and they keep adding chapters???

[@kellytownsend8116]

Thanks for a thorough breakdown of the update. I am excited together to the new stuff. Hugs

[@bon_bon27]

dream light valley really needs to take notes . Too bad game loft and Disney quite literally only care about money. I took a little break but just got back into coral island and I'm so excited !

[@AngelMom201]

I love the cellar. It can be used for production leaving more space to decorate on the farm.

[@sisco_indigo]

the queen has spoken!

[@sailorbey]

beyond excited for this update

[@beatrizas1884]

I can't wait to see the coral forest

[@lyndsayhawkins8747]

When the dev blog first came out, I’ll admit I was disappointed with the lack of a timeframe or release date for this update. However now that I’ve gotten over those initial feelings, I can truly appreciate the size of this update and be excited for it! I really think it will feel like a whole new game, which is just the thing I need to come back to it ❤

[@katietripp7417]

I am SO SO EXCITED

[@dominiquecollins9967]

After years of playing the sims, picking up Coral Island is probably the best decision I’ve ever made. This is how I wish Devs and EA were. So exciting that I’ve only scratched the surface of this game and they plan to keep expanding! ❤

[@annemaried.4165]

I need more time for playing. At the moment I’m playing FF14 and SunnySide but I still have to play Coral Island. 😅 I‘m still in my First Summer. 🙈

[@TeriAki68]

I'm still overwhelmed by the amount of content in the 1.1 update. So glad they're not rushing the Beta. I can wait a bit longer.

[@marteme2273]

Tysm for sharing!!!❤

[@Handnail]

So excited for 1.1

I hope the shopkeeper sells merfolk outfit for player character.

[@Trassel242]

I got the Early Access version of Coral Island on Steam way back, can I still play it on Steam? I remember there was something about how you had to buy it again on Steam, is that true or not? How exactly does this work?

[@Altroburst]

Savannah Biome ?. what an surprise, love it. but the most important thing is the Local sub like Bahasa should be fixed within the upcoming Update I hope.

[@EmberNova3]

[@LaviniaDeMortalium]

the Dinosaur skins are such a headscratcher. Why are they focusing on this when the game isn't even complete?

[@sisco_indigo]

Maybe they just watched Jurassic Park for the first time and are super excited

[@gamingfreak8849]

Is there any news on console Split Screen option?

[@terryexpose]

Are we gonna also get the whole map and our babies to grow?

[@etrav123]

What’s the game at 0:32?? Definitely pumped for this update!

[@bladeshifter]

Very excited for coop. I don't have the same group of people to play with that I played way too much Stardew with anymore but seeing a game like this really grab its community thoughts like they're meaningful is refreshing always. I can't be the only one obsessed with co-op even when I domt have anyone to play co-op with😅right?
