Dev contacted me on the discord in his public chat saying how hurt he was by my former review, sorry Dev I know you worked hard and it shows, doesn't mean it isn't a work in progress but, Dev knows this he and his team created a “roadmap” that include big improvements for the game for future updates and it’s on his discord. It has potential to be a truly balanced and enjoyable game.

The art is really cute, it’s my favorite part and if you join the Devs discord you can see some of the process of that art. You might be able to make something for the game too if you want, which is really cool and thoughtful of the Devs.

However one of the things we disagreed on is the automation for a game like this where I said “nothing was ever automated” and I 100% the game. You have to manually put items into each step and the finished product goes through 4-5 steps that you have to move the item into each time. I bet you can imagine that it gets super tedious when you have 8 items going through those processes each day along with your side hustle of pastries which has its own multi-step process! I expected that if I got far enough in the game I would only have to put the item in one step manually and once it was done with that step it would automatically move to the next step etc. I standby my former comment as the game did not, in fact, “ever become automated.”

There is also no freedom with the game and you lose a lot of choice, it's a very linear game. So for how short the content of the game could be, the replayability of this game is little to none as it will be the exact same on your next farm.

I left the Devs discord because he sent a message about the review in a public chat in his discord, it’s on his turf so around 100:1 ratio of people who feel the same way that hundreds of people can see and directly message/harass me because my opinion isn’t rainbows and sunshine instead of using the review system (I had comments on) set up on steam where the review and game is. It was a humiliating power move by the Dev. I uninstalled the game and will not return even with future updates. Good job Barker Games you lost a player who was probably just a headache to you.

would be really fun if i could play it at like 0.5x speed. at its current rate its just too stressful to be a chill game and too boring to be a stressfull game

I hate this games
