Sandrock being too long wasn't the issue. The issue was the game was pretty much over when there was no longer a antagonist. They can fix this by making sure the Evershine doesn't have a drop dead gorgeous antagonist that everyone wants to marry, and make sure the antagonist is taken out at the end of the game rather than the middle.

I feel like the real problem was releasing too early. They added story even after full release. Making people wait so long between updates and finishing the story is going to kill people's interest in completing it.

I agree, act 3 did not have good pacing at all after having such a big climax at the end of act 2, it feels like post-game busywork by comparison...I get not wanting to put extra resources into aspects that don't seem to be engaging to players but they could at least put out a survey asking for clarification on that 20% number on why people weren't finishing the game instead of just taking that as a sign that it was too long (40 hours or 400 hours, doesn't matter if the pacing gets knocked out of whack)
@leafandgames3 ай бұрын
Yeah, exactly. It's good to have a little bit of a breather after the climax, but not and entire act worth of a breather. The stakes dropped significantly in act 3 and it felt like it should switch places with act 2.

I actually liked the Sandrock designs because it felt unique to the title, but I'm not opposed to the new style. It might just feel a bit odd if I play Evershine and go back to the more cartoonish designs of Sandrock lol *Edit: Only 20% finished...? Now I feel bad because I do plan to finish it but have been busy. I bought the game for the story too, so I would prefer that to city building and management...unless if it's simplistic like Animal Crossing.

Girl, same. If Fang shows up in this game I'm going to drop dead, he's my builder's husband. He's so beautiful in Sandrock but to see him in Evershine graphics? 😍 One reason why I feel like he could potentially show up is that I remember he was one of the citizens who went to Gaudi's presentation for recruiting people in the north development plan during the summit at the end of the game, which implied like he's interested...? Either way, very excited for this new game! 💕

After reading the comments, I found many that also worry me. 1- hunger, let it be, we will cook, let there be hunger but it is enough to eat once a day and take a couple of dishes to the residents, for example, to the canteen. 2. Building your own house, I liked it better as it was in Portia, just upgrading the house and not building as inconveniently as it was in Sandrock. I am not a builder hahaha. I like to dig up resources in such games moreI want the game not to slide into survival and city management. I want it to continue to be Portia and Sandrok) Sorry, maybe I expressed myself unclearly because I am writing through a translator!
@leafandgames3 ай бұрын
No worries, everyting's clear enough. I don't mind managing hunger - it would actually make cooking and growing crops more meaningful to me. I never have a proper garden in Sandrock, I only grow enough crops to feed my animals, and I only cook when the story tells me to. Which always felt like an entire mechanic going to waste. I think that keeping our townies fed will be more about making sure we recruit people to work the fields and people who can cook, rather than cooking for them ourselves (well, maybe initially). If we're expected to run around the map and explore, we can't be constantly worried about feeding the townies ourselves. Building is a different matter. I like building, but I'm not patient and if the system is not very user-friendly, I jjust avoid it as much as I can (like in Sandrock). I'm glad there will be prefabs in Evershine. It will save me the world of pain.
@psyhodelika3 ай бұрын
@@leafandgames yes, you are right, I did not think about the fact that we will run and explore.. I did not really mess around with the garden in Sandrock either, I did not know where to put all this, I did not get animals, they seemed very scary to me haha, in Portia there was a competition of large vegetables and fruits, there I tried to grow something. I will say about the construction - I do not like how the construction of the house in Sandrock is implemented, if there were already ready-made parts and from them like a constructor you can assemble any house you want

I wish they didn't decide to nerf the length of the game. There could be a good chunk of players like me who are waiting for everything to be finished before doing a full playthrough. I think 1.4 is the last known big update, and is fleshing out romances, mainly Owen's to my understanding. ( I was romancing him in my EA game). Also, I have to say your art is some of the most stunning Fang art I've seen, I'm in awe!

I like the new look, but... I agree that I also don't like having followers, because I have enough problems managing my own character. If there are too many things to keep track of, I get overwhelmed, which is NOT fun. It's also why I dislike management games. Something else I have serious doubts about? Every time I have encountered a hunger meter in a game, I hated it. Stamina is enough of a limitation, thank you very much. And, one of my least favorite parts of Sandrock was trying to build my house. I found it stressful rather than enjoyable, so I'm glad they are giving people the option of templates. Not sure I'm going to want to play this game, but I will reserve judgement for now.
@leafandgames3 ай бұрын
I don't even mind having followers as such, they are the least of my problems, so long as they're with me and I can see them. I am mortified of keeping the town running. I'm the kind of person who can "burn water while boiling it", so I'm bound to just forget to check if my settlement is doing fine. Unless they make the system very clear and easy to keep track of, I could be in a world of hurt :D

I agree managing other npcs needs on top of mine gets to be way to overwhelming for me and it makes a game not fun for me to play that’s why I do not play those types of games I was so excited about the new installment for the my time series but now I’m not so sure. The game looks so beautiful and fun to play too but I will reserve judgment for now but I will be a bit disappointed if they for sure decide to go that route. But alas I will keep myself up to date on the route there going before I fully decide on if I’m gonna play it or not either way I’m excited to see them making another my time game and thanxs for this update. Love your vids and I can’t wait to see what they come up with for this game. 😊😊😊

I generally like the idea of being governor, much more than being builder. It adds possibility for more natural "side job" (it felt strange for me to being builder, and have a farm). I think in place of being able to stick resources to furnaces yourself you will be able to just go to workshop of builder and deliver raw resources and order products, and maybe pay more for ordering product without resources (money will be probably much more important commodity/ something to replace of Sandrock water). Another thing if it will allow for more ROLE playing. This is thing that will miss in farming live simulators. Everything that is open to you you HAVE to use to be optimal, and you can do Everything. I like ideas that there are limits what you can do. I like the old cRPGs ideas of classes. There is limit that your character can do, and you have to get team if you want to fix your inabilities.

I'll be honest, I haven't finished Sandrock. I'm not trying to blame Pathea, its my fault. I should have waited for the game to be finished, the over time updates made me grow bored since after a big patch I like to restart to experience everything in the patch. It just became tedious to me. Again my fault, not Patheas. I'll get the urge to finally finish it when its a completely finished product but for now its just not worth it. Hearing they will scale back Evershine so much is disappointing though.

I'm way over that age too. 😂 That was an absolutely gorgeous portrait of Fang. I guess I'm opposite most because most games are not long enough for me. When I really love a game (or book for that matter) I never want it to end. Of course, if it never ends I'll eventually get bored. Can't win. lol I had mixed feelings about marriageable characters from Sandrock appearing in Evershine, but Albert, Gust, Ginger, and Mint showed up with no real issues (other than not really getting to talk to them much) so as long as there is no flirting with a married man with 2 kids (in way too many playthrus), I guess I'm good. 🤣 I was kind of hoping Gaudi would be an option because he's got that hot professor look going on.

The only thing I do worry about is how cute they’re making the game look. I worry that they might do it again, where they will fat shame and not allow the main character to allow themselves to be plus sized. It also doesn’t even look like there’s any plus size characters, there’s only a picture of a big muscular villain, which already rubs me wrong. I know it’s something small, but I shy away when creators make things look too candy coated.

I hope beta testing does away with the hunger bar. I don't like thinking too much about hunger and stamina. I just want to run around and do what I do. I know others might not feel that way, but the My Time At games have never had a food mechanic. I also hope they don't copy Palworld. Let Evershine be its own game and not copy anything else. I want to do my builder stuff. If I wanted to manage pets to that extend, I'd fire up Palworld and play it. Anyway, too much management fo rmy tastes, especially if we wind up managing more of the settlement.
