I was watching the Best Of clip again and when this came on I literally closed the tab as fast as possible

This is great to hear. Glad he's really getting into it because it is addicting as fuck.
This exact situation happened on a AAA game I worked on a couple of years ago. The trailer team showed a fucking amazing animation in one of the trailers. That particular move was already cut from the game because it was super buggy and we didn't have time to fix it...
Well that scene from the trailer went almost viral (it did look awesome) so the producer came back in the office on the next Monday and was like "Well.. Fuck..." lol

Is this stream happening or what?

The time pressure in Stardew Valley seems like it's maybe not what I'm looking for out of that kind of game. I actually felt similarly about the brief time I've spent with Harvest Moon.

Yup! Just waiting on our site chat to finish spinning up!

I haven't watched the QL yet, but in terms of large-scale time management you can take as long as you need. I don't think there's anything you can miss out on permanently if you wanna keep your days pretty chill and low pressure.

I feel like the time constraint goes away after a while. When you start upgrading tools and not having them for a couple days it can limit what you can really do(no real mining if you don't have you pickaxe etc), once you get sprinklers you don't need to water crops, and just realizing you can't do everything every day really opens up the time constraint. I basically just set out each day with one thing I want to focus on and all the pressure kind of goes away.

Can do both!
Dan straight up came out and said he'd never touched it so yeah, whatcha gonna do
In any case it's straight up better than any harvest moon game released for a good long time. Maybe even the rune factories.
That's just the way Dan is playing. All the power to him but he still couldn't score a date for the flower festival. I didn't either, but I've been worry-free, sleeping like a damn baby every night on White Hart Farm.

Since I have zero investment for the fable series I can't say I'm too affected by Lionhead's closure.
Oh, is it strong? That might actually be a dealbreaker for me since I'm thinking about getting the game.

Mannnnn that sucks. I love hearing stories like this though. Thanks for sharing.

I feel like Dan is manufacturing the time pressure. he's got too many crops for an non-upgraded watering can (which he could/should have taken care of ages ago) and he hasn't messed with sprinklers yet.
running out of energy is definitely an issue, but running out of time shouldn't be.
Rune Factory 4 is a fantastic game. But this is better than any actual HM game since FoMT and that's kind of sad. each iteration of HM does some cool things and screws up other stuff. every single time. SV's dev had the good sense to know all the things that worked and just use those and not the crappy parts.

Sad about Lionhead studios going, while they aren't as great as they used to be, I still had good memories playing their games. Obviously, aside from the games it's mostly sad that people out of the blue lose their jobs so I hope they land on their feet pretty quick.
i have to say, lack of a black-haired girl in stardew valley was a bit of a disappointment
oh yeah, i wasn't holding it against him. just got a chuckle out of me

It certainly didn't look very good.
Not surprised, but a bit sad. Which is mostly because of the studio name and the personal situation of the employees. Creatively they haven't released something for me since Fable 1.

I liked Fable 3.
It's slightly above ambient.

Well as long as it isn't shoved down my throat or brought up in every conversation.
Agreed but they've already spent some much time on it and its a console exclusive.
Just finish the damn game.

It does seem super late in development to cancel, but wasn't the game primarily online? Somebody would have had to support it going forward.
Very good point

to be fair, with all the money I have right now, I'd be pretty happy if I could buy improvements instead of waiting until the next season to catch some dumb fish
but otherwise, yeah

I went in the JOJA market the first time I saw it and have never been back since. Besides Pierre talking about troubles and the guy giving away coupons I don't think I've heard much about the place.

The mainline Fable series had its up and downs but they were fun quirky action RPGs that played with the genre's conventions. I appreciate that even when they failed, their failures were still interesting to play through compared to other games which really stick to genre conventions and play it safe

That leads into the character creator. I'm not sure whether to love that or hate it (or both).
