I like the concept, but visually it looks pretty crude. Somehow I think if devs didn’t care enough to make the game look good (it doesn’t have to look fantastic), then I’m pretty sure the gameplay isn’t all that impressive either.
That’s a weird take. Games like Minecraft showed the world that games don’t need to visually look good to be good. This opened up the world for indie developers to make really good games utilising pixel art. I’m a big fan of Stardew Valley. In fact I’ll call it now that the developer for that game has worked harder than any other developer in any game from the past or present.
I’d argue that Minecraft and Stardew Valley do visually look good. Looking good doesn’t mean that it has to look like a AAA game with realistic graphics. Very old games like Super Mario Bros 3 look great even today. Pixel art games if done with care look fantastic. What I didn’t like about this game when looking at the trailer on Steam is that the world looks barren - specifically, look at the 35s mark on their Steam video. I see that there are some other visually appealing scenes in the trailer, but some scenes just look unfinished. I agree I was a bit harsh, but the couple of close-ups in the trailer left a really bad impression on me.
