I don't like rust.

I don't like building a full building inch by inch. I don't like having to worry about eating too. I can't speak to Palworld, but I don't like rust's empty world, devoid of NPC's short of playing it coop with a lib. I don't like literally every tiny thing having to be crafted, especially with it having its own little crafting subsystems like crafting firewood for fuel for a furnace which crafts materials that are used in another crafted device to craft something else. I also despise crafting and working farms.

One of the few mercies this game offers is Pals to pick up the pace.

I'm going to give it a chance but I'm already going in expecting to be disappointed.

One simple improvement would be being able to just plop down full buildings, but I don't believe that's possible at all.

      Is Existential Comics still around here sometimes? Do you think they'd be down to contriubute to a Pokemon game where you put two philosophers in a jar and shake it to make them fight?

        Apologies for necroposting, I was poking around trying to find a different post about Existential Comics and saw this. Is this purely a shitpost or do you have an intention to make this game?

          I wish i could, I really do, it'd be so much fun. Alas, I have no coding skills, no game dev knowledge, and a bevy of mental health problems that would make a project of that scale infeasible.

          I might be able to manage some kind of card game if I had a lot of help, but a video game just isn't within my abilities.

            You might want to check out rpgmaker sometime. Up to you, of course, but if you ever do that or the card game and want advice/feedback, feel free to DM me.
