If it's even reasonably good [once it releases], this will likely be a 2x buy in my household.

I'm only interested in the single player part of the game .

Bought and having a play

A few translation issues, where key words are not repeated coherently. Such as use the "Build" key, which is labelled "construct" in the key mapping menu.

But it looks cute.


I hope they can add a LAN option for multiplayer though, no need to connect to a server to play with someone on same subnet

Are you saying its multiplayer is currently Internet/server based rather than peer/direct connect? :(

Yes, as is the default for almost all games now-a-days ;-(

But, just got a reply from the devs on twitter, that it might be something they can add later.

Personally, I just don't get it.

Simply from a dev point of view, If your making a MP game you'd want to be able to test it in a controlled environment. A peer to peer LAN connect is the best option for that.

I know MP tools from Steam and GoG, make it really easy to internet based MP, but still.

For me LAN should be a pre-requisite for any DRM Free Multiplayer game.

That's a damned shame. So few games do it right [Stardew Valley, Grim Dawn do]. I was hoping this one would.
