This is what an open-world pokemon game should have been. Not the buggy disappointing mess GameFreak gave us for 2 generations.
More like: game developer probably doesn’t know how to code a game to efficiently use servers.
I mean, maybe. But if you’re not a AAA studio just not having (or realistically, enabling from a cloud provider) enough capacity when your game sells way more copies than expected is entirely reasonable.
Right. This is a no name studio that got hit with 700,000 concurrents. Some server problems are too be expected. If it bothers you that much, run your own server.
Edit: Actually looking at steam history. It’s 1.3 MILLION concurrents.
I doubt the people behind it were expecting to hit 300k concurrent players within the first weekend of the early access. Even Craftopia’s launch only hit around 26k
Its a beta for a reason, I doubt they expected this degree of buzz
Looks too “edgelord” for me
Well someone gave it this glowing review:
Its a very messy game. I dont think there was ever a vision for what kind of game this was going to be, they just grabbed whatever was hype at the time and added it in. Throw in pokemon, throw in fortnite, throw in breath of the wild, throw in meme postable character creator. I guess its working out for em.
The core gameplay is fun as hell. I’m using a crossbow and my flame fox thing to catch or knock out pals while riding my pink sheep llama thing to explore the world and having a blast. For an early access game it also runs great and so far no game breaking bugs.
throw in meme postable character creator
Mmm. Monster Factory worthy? Always excited for new episodes of that.
You can give sheep guns, Im sure they will eat this game up
I’m currently playing it and I don’t really think it’s as messy as it appears on the surface. It has a pretty clear progression goals from what I can tell 5 hours in.
Saw that the game was made by the folks that are behind Craftopia, which definitely explains why it looks and plays the way it does, “without a vision”. Here’s to hoping this one actually gets finished and released.
