If you love farming RPGs, a brand-new game is on the horizon: Stairway Games has announced Coral Island, a project coming to Kickstarter that aims to build on the formula of games like Stardew Valley.
Coral Island aims to "[keep] intact what makes classic farm sim games fun" while also modernizing some elements, adding an environmentalism element, and making the game more inclusive. It's not out quite yet — the developers have yet to launch its Kickstarter campaign — but it does bring some intriguing ideas to the table.
Multiplayer co-op and new romance events come to your tropical paradise in Coral Island. Make harvest time a team activity with up to four players, or even get married to another player. Meanwhile, single-player romance blooms bigger with new hangout events both during relationships and post-marriage.
From Coral Island to Wytchwood, these are the best cozy games you can play on Steam Deck.
Coral Island developer is very unhappy with how things are turning out with publisher Humble Games
Even though I already have the game on PC, concidentally a few days ago I searched for it on Switch's eShop because having Switch's sleep mode would be a godsend. I was disappointed seeing that it wasn't released on Switch, and even more now that I learned it may never happen.
Seen the Dev post this on Resetera. Look to take heavy inspiration from Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing. Could definitely use some improvements on character animations and character models. Other than that the game looks looks pretty good.
