To my knowledge Dorfromantik is the graduation project of some German lads. And they've really nailed the relaxed atmosphere and endorphin inducing soundtrack and jingles. There's this pleasant danish bloke that has a running series on the game with 100+ Episodes, called Zeawen. His run is going quite strong.

[@corneliusmcmuffin3256]

They previously made townscaper, which is somewhat similar but with less of a defined goal.

[@felix_christopher]

@@corneliusmcmuffin3256 Are you certain, that's them? Wasn't Townscaper a single-dev operation?

[@SassyTheSkyDragon]

There's a board game version too!

[@StereoTyp0]

Holy shit, Zeawen has a good run

Recorded over a month ago, god knows how huge Johnny’s backlog of prerecords is (TotK moment) This game didn’t really gel with me that much but it was interesting

[@neoaxd.]

It's irrationally driving me crazy but... they aren't rocks and lighthouses, they're fields and windmills :)

[@SpaceSkeletonDragon]

He's doing it on purpose, right? He can't be actually looking at a windmill and thinking it's a lighthouse. Dear God let him be trolling

[@dereknoto6555]

@@SpaceSkeletonDragon It's the symbol, who tf chooses that to represent fields. It really does look like a rock. Even though the model is obviously a field of crops. Weird looking lighthouse though, wonder what the propeller is for.

[@tehpickle1250]

There’s a board game adaptation of this too, and that’s also rather delightful. It doesn’t have that same “infinite” feel, but it still does capture the feeling of unlocking new stuff every time you play.

Imagine if Ganondorf became Ganonstadt

[@mver191]

No this is not Zelder game.

[@novemberguy7087]

[@eukalyptusbonbon2983]

Not to mention the possibility of Ganongroßstadt

[@japanesecoffeemusic]

Ganonmetropole

[@ColonelKlink1965]

If you think Ganonstadt is scary then wait for Ganonland.

[@sephiose]

When I first saw the title of the video, I thought it was some shovelware game about a romantic Ganondorf given how thirsty the Internet was for them in TotK.

[@hunterjulian98]

I thought it sounded like a dating simulator Ganonforf is tall, fit, confident, and a king I can imagine people being romantically interested in him

[@Keilaido]

I would very much like to see more of this. I love it when the Vine Man plays nice games.

[@itryen7632]

So last time he recorded himself playung this, he played Dice Kingdoms for the first half, and for the second half, he played Dorfromantik. Then there's this prerecord, which isn't numbered, so i assume it's gonna be the only one. Does that make this game a One-and-a-half-off?

[@EhBoing]

I thought he was calling the fields and windmills 'rocks' and 'lighthouses' on accident the first time around, but now it's pretty blatantly clear he's doing it on purpose

[@PeterDevore]

I think the filter changes sound good Vinny. Definitely clearer without losing that radio voice vibe you go for. The sibilants come through sharply, which might be nice to tone down a tiny tiny bit, but it also helps with being clearly understandable.

[@FutureRetroRoots]

Been playing this game since early access. Even though i don't have the most hours into this game, i still like to play it a lot from time to time, whenever i really need to chill out and relax and forget about my problems in the world for a while...

[@DreamMixGames]

Sometimes I like to just chill out & watch your streams/videos & this is perfect for that Vinny. I really like watching a lot of creative games, like Parkitect, town builders, etc. I hope you do more of those!

[@halcionjoy7]

The ambient frog croaking was driving me a little crazy. They get more active around this time of year in my area, so I kept thinking they were outside my house.

[@izayaorihara5516]

Vinny calling it a not very stressful game while I'm going insane over him still calling the windmills lighthouses, incredible Glad to see the game back though, it's super chill to watch and I wanna pick it up in the future

[@4Wilko]

What about fields being rocks?

[@huhusmremre]

...so this is basically a hex, strategy Carcassonne? Well I'm interested!

[@4Wilko]

If anyone's curious the last time Vinny recorded the game it was paired up with Dice Kingdoms. Vinny's "rocks" are field tiles right? Elgato Game Capture HD60 S would have video (on a delay) in its own capture software and the audio would be synced. The software is pretty... undesirable to use though. OBS supports capturing with it, but the audio has a large delay and you have to offset it yourself. I've previously used game capture footage with native audio as well as line in audio recorded and compared their waveforms in Audacity to figure out the offsets. It drives me up the wall knowing I'll probably never get it perfect. 0:39:46 1:16:34 1:19:02 2:16:21 - 66+

[@CobraCreates]

I dunno if Vin will read this, but I wanted to say that water tiles that look like lakes or ponds can be surrounded by any other tile (except rail), while rivers need to be connected at the ends. It's helped me quite a bit with closing off waterways.

[@bolicob]

I use to have a physical board game as a kid called "Rivers, Roads, and Rails" that was basically this.

[@acceptablecasualty5319]

This is just Carcassonne freebuild mode, and i dig it.

[@LangstonDev]

At last, my dream of a Dorf On Golf videogame adaption finally comes true!

[@nozzzzy]

Something important to keep in mind if you wanna go for better scores... always go for perfect tiles. The really good players get a 95%+ perfect tile rate. That means every single side of a tile matches the tiles around it. Don't just connect a house to a house, make sure the other sides also match. Every perfect tiles gives you +1 extra tile and these REALLY start to add up. It does take longer to place every tile because you have to search for the perfect spot but you'll have better runs. It's also good to seperate your map into zones. Have a water area, a tree area, a farm area etc. There's more nuances to it like making sure to close off large groups (that's what the flags are) closing a group also nets you extra tiles. Plus, closing groups keeps your quest number smaller and more manageable instead of requiring massive numbers of things to complete. There's a surprising amount of depth in the strategy for this game. I suck at it despite knowing all these tips but I hope it helps you get better scores!

[@PoolBoy840]

Could you get a dac or external sound card to fix the realtek issue? Possible to plug your mic directly into the mixer?

[@Lemoncurd64]

Said it on your last video but I really can't stress how much fun the board game version of this game is if anyone reading this is into that sort of thing

[@pitchblackgrue]

It's definitely an interesting take on a city builder to, rather than the challenge being adapting to the imperfect environment around you and attempting to create a perfect city on top of it, to have an imperfect city and build it as it comes along.

[@feywild1758]

I love this game! it's so relaxing

[@corneliusmcmuffin3256]

You call these “rock tiles” despite the fact that they are obviously farmland.

Im telling you this game is so much fun to pick up and shut your brain off for a bit and then do it again later and be able to pick back up where you left off, (especially for like $14 on steam)

why does he call windmills lighthouses tho

[@nepdisc3722]

this feels more like putting together a jigsaw puzzle than city building. I hate jigsaw puzzles. Cool idea though I guess.

[@dimitar4y]

wtf i like the concept

[@pixeldemon6173]

I thought those rocks were wheat fields Edit: I'm stupid

[@tamix9]

1:05:12 That hurts to look at. You don't need to take a minute every tile to get them all perfect, but please at least take 2 seconds to look at your placement. One clockwise rotation on the same time would have been 7/8 instead of 2/8

[@burntashez]

So he still thinks the fields are rocks?

@@MrFoxInc In my language too. I'm mostly intrigued that two games has gone for the same naming convention like that in such short timespan, the noticeable indie space is quite small

[@MrFoxInc]

@@user199x It might be that one heard from the other! To be honest, ever since hearing the project name since its inception, I can't tell anymore if "Dorfromantik" was a legitimate term before or not. To me, it sounds like "a love for villages and the rural life", which is not an unfeasible concept for developers based in Berlin - the city-state that is surrounded by the state of Brandenburg, which is known for its vast countrysides and plenty little villages. But I don't know if that was their motivation and it might just be projection on my part! (Also, what was the other game?)
