How many times can you play the demo
It looks so fun and cute! I can't wait to play it in September
I’ve already preordered it! 😅
"No one questions why this island is filled with children and dinosaurs."
This is why I like farming games, they are getting more of unexpected content.😂❤
This looks like a really in depth demo, pretty impressive! I hope the dev that stopped by for your stream relays some of the complaints for the controls and maybe we'll see them fixed by the launch.
I like how it looks. Very cute feel. But I love these games for their micro social aspects. It doesn't look like social stories are a major part of this game. But…I might play it for those wavy tail dinosaurs alone.😂
I'd really appreciate if the game took the Harvestella approach and let us choose our gender. I like to actually be able to customize my character and having a non binary option is great. I just don't love the whole removing it as an option all together thing. Outside oft hat the game looks cute
I love dinosaurs and farming games, so its basically must have for me 😀
Small detail, but I like all the different handwritings on the bulletin board ! That's really lovely and makes it more realistic.
I think all your suggestions were good ones. I haven't played the demo but the game does look like it would appeal to a young audience. Maybe have some settings to turn certain things on and off, like having an option where all dinos will like their pens no matter what and won't worry about mixing herbivore and carnivore food. I can't see a six year old figuring out the pen situation on their own.
It's almost like a Catch 22. The graphics match the nonviolent nature of the game which makes it appealing to kids but also appealing to kids means you have to make tasks simple enough for kids, which may not appeal to adults who would appreciate harder and more unique mechanics. I think that's where having different options can bridge that gap, like having an easy and normal mode.
This is one of the games I am most looking forward to for the cute dinos alone. I hope they fix the controls and thanks for the preview! Now to wait for the demo
My only concern is that you can't phy enter your house only sleep and storage even though lots of furniture can be build. It has similar Roots of Pacha taming mechanic with flute makes a difference from chucking a ball/capsule and hope for best. I'm glad the emphasis on taking care of your dinosau instead using tools. Dilemma of whether to get on PC or Switch. I'm eager to try out the demo for Steam fest.
Omgggggg, it looks amazing!
Looks cute, if they do improve on the different aspects you pointed out, might turn out real good indeed ^^
Thanks for this!
I'm guessing they didn't tell you locations to go to find things since they aren't set in stone yet? Since it is the demo? But overall this looks super cute and I think I'll totally be buying it!
I don’t understand…you say the graphics seem to target a younger audience…but you play the Story of Seasons series which have similar graphic audience assumptions…
Havent got to play the demo yet. I cant find it
Farming on dino's ? HECK YEA BABY let's gooooo!!!!!!!!! I would love to pick this one up to play. It looks so adorable!!!!! Thanks Josh for trying this new style farming game for us. Farming on dinos YES PLZ 🙂
This looks so nice, I hope it will work well on the Switch. Thanks for the heads up!
Oh my gosh how’d you get the melanistic galli? 😍
According to the devs the game is actually geared to adults. The aesthetic is meant to evoke the nostalgia of childhood whimsy and summer vacations
I like it, but i wish it had more challenge. Thats what i like in a lot of games as it gives me more drive to keep working and improve.
I see comparisons to other games like Stardew and Harvest Moon, so I wonder if there will be any romance/marriage options? Does anyone know at all?
Also, did you interact a lot with humans to build platonic relationships at all?
It's definitely aimed towards an older audience of dino nerds just by the variety in species. The game is pretty clunky controls wise and has been pretty frustrating. While the dinos are the selling point and absolutely adorable I can't get over the weird doll like human designs.
I really appreciate this helpful in-depth video about your experience with Paleo Pines so far.
this is soooo cute! Man… can you imagine if Nintendo got smart enough to delve into different spin-offs and did a game like this for Pokemon? I would love being able to have a Pokemon ranch like this in a game. It would be full of Skitty, Milktank, and all kinds of grass pokemon lol.
I wish this game existed when I was a kid 🥺
