Very nice to see a farming sim on here.

This game, at this price, is an absolutely steal with a Linux and Android version included!

Isn't this just a pure rip-off of stardew valley?

Based on the screenshots, it looks like even the assets were probably stolen

[–] GammaGames@beehaw.org 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The assets are from a pack: https://cupnooble.itch.io/sprout-lands-asset-pack

Stardew wasn’t a new concept when it released, this looks like a small farming sim in the same vein of any other farming game

That's the pack by the same creator..

But yeah, not a new concept, but lots of elements at first glance seem directly ripped off

Better off supporting the original developers honestly

Even the name is somewhat similar..

I can understand the concern but I actually own this game (prior to sale), SDV and quite a few other farming sims, including a Harvest Moon game.

Sometimes I get burnt out playing SDV and want a similar game to scratch the itch.

It's fun to discover the unique features the 'spins offs' offer and lose myself in them. So sometimes, some people like myself are looking for something similar to the SDV/Harvest Moon experience and that's okay too. 😊

"Ohh noooooo too many games I like, this is a bad thing somehow"

?

The game is by zefrost and the pack is by cupnooble, nothing wrong with using assets

Stardew was such a big hit that it encouraged a lot of clones. I imagine if you search any game storefront for "gentle farming and friendship simulator" you'll get a lot of results!
