What was your main inspiration behind the game? It’s giving Legend of Zelda and Stardew Valley vibes to me. Also I noticed that the games run on steam deck that very cool. Thanks again. Happy launch day.
The character designs are so cute! What led you to that style?
Thanks for the AMA!
My question is: What inspired you to get into making games?
Im glad to see so many indie game makers down to earth and up for chatting! Keep up the good work and I’ll check out your game!
What was the “pie in the sky” idea that you wish you had time to put in to Lonesome Village?
I can’t wait to play this game when I get home tonight! My question is, will there be DLC in the future? If so what kind would it be?
Cool looking game! Might pick it up soon!
My question: what were your inspirations when making Lonesome Village? And what was the biggest struggle in development?
Lonesome Village has been on my wishlist since I saw a video earlier in the year, so excited it’s finally here.
How long do you think the game takes to beat? And does it has a clear ending or is it like other life sims where you complete the story but can still continue to play afterwards and have things to do?
I tend to wait on sales since there’s so many cozy games releasing lately and this is my favorite genre. Anything you can say to convince me to get the game today instead of waiting?
Congrats on the release!
Stardew Valley has really mainstreamed the life-sim, cozy/farming games… so much so that it’s hard to stand out in the genre.
What would you say makes your game stand out, or why we should play this versus your competition?
Thanks for doing an AMA, and good luck on release week!
Hi! This looks really cool, I just picked it up. How long have you been working on this? It looks awesome:)
It looks precious. Might have to pick it up.
Where would you recommend to go for advice if stuck on a puzzle? (May or may not be stuck on the chicken floor xD)
Not a question but the trailer really caught my eye. Great art style and game looks interesting. I hope to check it out sometime!
Is this some conspiracy to replace real socializing in real life? 🧐 jk
I have two dogs. One is named Pixel and one is named Ogre. I was very confused by this post for a second.
It looks freakin’ adorable and I will defo be buying it.
Hey was just wondering if there’s plans for a physical release?
How long did it take to create this game?
No question, just a congratulations! I supported this game on kickstarter many years ago and watching the updates brought me much joy :] cant wait to play tonight
Any plans for a physical release on switch?
Looks very nice, lovely art style and I do like me some puzzle games. How long of a game is it?
Felicidades!!
How do you see the videogame industry in Mexico?
And how did the team come together??
I know you’re probably done with this thread, and it’s not really a question, but I’m so excited for this game! I’m waiting for the weekend to buy it simply because I *know* I won’t concentrate on work if I get it before Friday 😂… well maybe I can make it until Thursday
EDIT: well, I didn’t last long. Productivity can try again next week!
Been playing for a few hours and I love it already! I totally see the Zelda influence. It’s just so cute!
Kickstarter backer, but just had a chance to start playing this evening. I have a question about controls on the switch. My backpack has the orange exclamation mark, and when I open it, so does the mirror, but when I click on it, nothing happens, and the exclamation mark doesn’t leave. Tips?
Hello! Where would I go to report a bug for this game? It suddenly froze up & I ended up having to completely close it. When I tried to start the game back up, nothing was saved & it’s making me start from the beginning.
<3 hai!!! I love your game so much!! It’s 100000% my type of game.
I played through the game and got all hearts ect. I have two main items that I never did anything with >!skull and pirate hat!< also there are some buildings not unlocked/ still uninhabited and yet all characters are accounted for according to the book 📕.
To this I am hoping that it means there will be later added content? Anyhow those are two of the questions I was curious about. Thanks for any response <3
