My name is Al, (0:00:36) Codey: My name is Cody. (0:00:37) Al: and we are here today to talk about title score games. (0:00:41) Codey: Woo! (0:00:43) Al: As usual, transcripts are available in the show notes and on the website. (0:00:47) Al: I feel like I should just stop saying that because people know, right? Like they’re there. (0:00:50) Codey: but then the next episode is going to be the one where they’re like, (0:00:54) Codey: it would be really cool if you guys had transcripts. (0:00:56) Al: Yeah, yeah, I just like it’s there. It’s right there. You can see. (0:01:00) Codey: Maybe, maybe you could say it at the end. (0:01:00) Al: It’s right here. Anyway, I’m kind of pointless then, right? (0:01:03) Codey: I don’t know. Listeners, tell us, listeners, tell us what you want. (0:01:07) Codey: Do you want us to say it? (0:01:08) Codey: Do you want us to not say it? Do you want? (0:01:10) Al: Listeners who are already listening. Not really, not really useful then. (0:01:15) Al: Hi Cody, we’re going to talk about Office Cat, which is some mobile game that Cody found and said, (0:01:20) Al: let’s do this one. And I went, yeah, sure, fine. I like cats and they’re in suits. So let’s do that. (0:01:24) Codey: Yep, yeah, they’re in little suits. Yeah, I love how you’re blaming me for this. (0:01:28) Al: So we’re going to – (0:01:30) Al: I’m absolutely blaming you for this. (0:01:35) Al: So yeah, we’re going to talk about that. Before that, we have some news, (0:01:39) Al: a good selection of fun news. But first of all, Cody, what have you been up to? (0:01:44) Codey: I am still PHD-ing, as always, but this last week- was it last- yeah, last week- time is an illusion. (0:01:52) Al: - Well, well, when this comes out, it will be more, we can have it. (0:01:54) Codey: Last weekend- two weekends ago, I was Pokemon Go Fest in New York City, so I got to go hang out with some lovely humans from the It’s Super Effective crew and the GoCast crew as well. (0:02:11) Codey: Um, and just got to just tromble. (0:02:14) Codey: All over New York city, play some Pookie mains, tromped, we tromped. (0:02:16) Al: Trump. That’s an interesting word. Trump. Trump-a-Trump-a-Trump. (0:02:21) Codey: Um, and in classic Cody fashion, I left the tote bag I was going to bring with my portable (0:02:29) Codey: charger and right next to my hiking boots. (0:02:32) Codey: So I wore Converse the whole weekend, which was not great for my feet. (0:02:36) Codey: Uh, and then we also had to go buy a new portable shirt. (0:02:41) Codey: Uh, but we… [laughs] (0:02:41) Al: Woo! (laughs) (0:02:45) Codey: I was like, “Oh, yeah, right.” (0:02:47) Codey: Um, and on Saturday, I forgot to take my meds. (0:02:49) Codey: So it was a great time. (0:02:50) Al: Woo! (laughs) (0:02:51) Codey: Uh, whew! (0:02:52) Codey: Done at its end. (0:02:53) Codey: It was super worth it, but it was a time. (0:02:56) Codey: Um, listeners, if you play that game, (0:02:59) Codey: you probably have heard that it was warm. (0:03:04) Codey: Uh, but other than that, (0:03:06) Codey: I’ve been playing, of course, Office Cat. (0:03:08) Codey: Um, I’m back into Disney Dreamlight Valley. (0:03:11) Codey: They’ve… they got me again. (0:03:11) Al: Ah, they got you. (0:03:13) Codey: Well, because they added. (0:03:13) Al: Mulan captured you. (0:03:14) Codey: Mulan, yep. And all of the Mo so the Mulan star path, I think (0:03:17) Codey: it’s called like majesty and Mongolia, not Mongolia as wow, (0:03:23) Codey: magnolias. I’m close, but no. It’s all got really that star (0:03:31) Codey: path has really good rewards. And since I’ve been playing my (0:03:34) Codey: game since the beginning, I still have a heck ton of the (0:03:37) Codey: moonstone from like that you just get for free from playing, (0:03:41) Codey: but they would also just be like, oh, no, that event. (0:03:44) Codey: It was a little buggy. (0:03:45) Codey: Here’s a thousand moonstone for no reason. (0:03:48) Codey: So paying $2,500 or 2,500 moonstone for access to all of the rewards from that was worth it. (0:03:57) Codey: So I’ve just been going through and trying to get all of that and trying to get (0:04:00) Codey: Mulan and Mushu up to max. (0:04:03) Codey: Also, Remy has started doing like daily cooking quests, which is great. (0:04:11) Codey: I’m really trying 100% this game. (0:04:14) Codey: Get the harvest 999 coconuts and harvest all of this. (0:04:19) Codey: And I’m trying to get all of those achievements. (0:04:21) Codey: I don’t know why they just tickle my brain. (0:04:25) Codey: I also, because I finished that one other game, Powerwash Simulator, but didn’t, well, (0:04:31) Codey: I haven’t 100%ed that. (0:04:32) Codey: That’s also on my to-do list. (0:04:34) Codey: But one of my friends was like, heavy-tried SnowRunner. (0:04:37) Codey: So I’m playing SnowRunner now, which is where you are basically an ice road trucker in Alaska. (0:04:44) Codey: And someone is like, oh, no, I’m stuck in the snow. (0:04:48) Codey: And so you bring like a semi up to them and pull them out. (0:04:53) Codey: Learning how to drive semi, it’s not going to do it in real life, though. (0:04:59) Codey: Yeah, that’s that. (0:05:00) Codey: What have you been up to, Al? (0:05:01) Al: I, obviously, have been playing Office Cat as well. I have been playing Dave the Diver. (0:05:08) Al: I feel like I’ve mentioned that many, many times in a row, but there we go. I played (0:05:11) Al: Dave the Diver. I actually finished it. I finished the game yesterday as we’re recording, which (0:05:17) Al: listeners will, if they listen carefully in future episodes, will be able to figure out (0:05:23) Al: when this was recorded related to another episode. (0:05:26) Codey: Okay, so how many, how many bottles of beer on the wall are you? (0:05:26) Al: - Good. (0:05:27) Al: » Okay. (0:05:32) Al: I have obviously been continuing with farm RPG. (0:05:40) Al: I’m at 98 now, so I’m one away, one away. It might take me a little bit while because I’ve (0:05:40) Codey: - Thank you. (0:05:41) Codey: Ooh! (0:05:49) Al: still got, what is it, so let me, right, I think last time we talked I was still quite a long way (0:05:55) Al: away from being anywhere near this point, but yeah, and like I wasn’t even at like a quarter (0:05:57) Codey: Think you’re at like 85 (0:06:02) Al: of what you need to get to 99, like XP wise. Now the reason why I have expanded so much (0:06:04) Codey: Okay. (0:06:10) Al: is when you, I bought the next layer of farming farms, and when you buy farm plots, it gives you (0:06:15) Codey: Mm-hmm (0:06:20) Al: the same amount of XP as you spent in money, and that one cost a billion. So with one button click, (0:06:24) Codey: - Oh, that one costs a lot, yep, yep. (0:06:29) Al: I got a billion XP added on to my 700,000, 700 million. So I went from 700 million to 1 billion, (0:06:38) Al: 700 million and (0:06:40) Al: to get to level 99 is 2 billion. So I’m now getting pretty close. (0:06:48) Codey: Hmm, how’s the rest of the game? (0:06:48) Al: Getting pretty close. Oh no, I’m actually, I’ve increased quite a lot actually since then. I’m (0:06:53) Al: at 1,900,000,000 now. So I just need. Yeah, so we’re getting there. My fishing’s at level 99, (0:06:58) Codey: You only need 100 million. (0:07:04) Al: my crafting’s at level 99, my exploring is at level 84, and I have finally unlocked cooking. (0:07:11) Al: Which I’m not really doing much with because it’s kind of boring. (0:07:15) Al: I’m not really enjoying the cooking. (0:07:16) Codey: So what the real game starts when everything’s at 99 though, right? (0:07:21) Al: Yep, that’s how it goes. Yep, yep, yep, yep. (0:07:28) Al: Yeah, no, the one thing I’m quite enjoying is that now I’m at the point where my (0:07:35) Al: Quests are not constantly expanding, so like, if I finish a quest… (0:07:40) Codey: Mm-hmm (0:07:40) Al: it either just gives me another quest, or it finishes that line. (0:07:44) Al: So I’m actually down to the point where I only have 11 quest lines active, (0:07:44) Codey: Mm-hmm (0:07:49) Al: which at one point I had 40 active or something. (0:07:49) Codey: Wow yep (0:07:51) Al: And my requests completed in total is 500 now. (0:07:57) Al: So yeah, I feel like I’m getting close to being able to go, “I can leave this now.” (0:08:07) Al: But yeah. Exploring’s (0:08:08) Codey: dot com syndrome. Just got to click a button. (0:08:10) Al: going to take quite a while to get there, because yeah, but I’m not even at half a (0:08:17) Al: million XP and there’s nothing, sorry, not half a million, sorry. I’m not even at half (0:08:22) Al: a billion and you need 2 billion to get to level 99. So yeah, I don’t know. That’s quite (0:08:28) Al: a long way away. You can’t know. There’s no equivalent for exploring. I looked for that. (0:08:29) Codey: Can you spend a billion money to unlock? (0:08:36) Al: So that’s just going to take a long, long time. (0:08:40) Al: How long have I been playing this game for now? (0:08:42) Al: Far too long. (0:08:42) Codey: It’s been like two months, maybe? (0:08:44) Al: When did we do farm RPG? (0:08:46) Al: End of May. (0:08:49) Al: So not even two months, but yeah, like if I’m only a quarter of the way to level 99, (0:08:58) Al: like it’s going to be another six months before I get there. (0:09:01) Al: I don’t know if I can keep playing this game for six more months. (0:09:05) Codey: - Not with that attitude, it’s on cost values. (0:09:05) Al: We’ll see. (0:09:09) Al: We shall see. (0:09:10) Al: So yeah, I will try my hardest to get to level 99 in farming for you, just so I can get that questline done. (0:09:18) Codey: Mm hmm. Thank you. I just want that guy to die of alcohol poisoning. (0:09:21) Al: Yeah, I’m intrigued to see what happens. I can’t believe I’m one away. (0:09:29) Al: Yeah, I don’t think they will. I don’t think they will. (0:09:30) Codey: If they come out with 99 bottles, 100, I’m going to scream. (0:09:40) Al: The other thing I’ve just started playing today is Chicken Journey. (0:09:46) Al: It is a chicken-based side-scrolling RPG. You’re a chicken on a journey. (0:09:52) Codey: What is it on? (0:09:56) Al: I’ve got it on my Steam Deck, but it’s also on Switch. (0:09:58) Codey: Okay, interesting. (0:10:00) Al: But yeah, I mentioned it at one point, but it’s not really Cottagecore because it’s an RPG. (0:10:02) Codey: Have we ever talked about that on the pod? (0:10:04) Codey: Okay. (0:10:10) Codey: But it’s a chicken. (0:10:10) Al: Yeah, I know. That’s why I mentioned it once. But I mentioned it when it came out, and then not again. (0:10:18) Codey: Yeah, very cute though. (0:10:21) Al: But yeah, I’ve literally spent like 10 minutes on it so far, so maybe I’ll have more to say about it in the next episode. (0:10:27) Al: Yes, I think that is what we’ve been up to. So next we have some news, game news. (0:10:35) Al: The first thing is the critter crops have announced their new release date so for (0:10:40) Al: they had announced a release date, and then like two weeks later, they changed their mind (0:10:44) Al: on it. Now they have a new release date, which is the 22nd of July. It is very close. It’s (0:10:50) Codey: Whoo. (0:10:50) Codey: Very close. (0:10:52) Al: just over a week away. So, yeah. Natsuman, 20th century summer vacation. We talked about (0:10:57) Codey: Yep. (0:10:57) Codey: That’s, that’s coming out. (0:11:06) Al: in the last episode that it looked like English was coming to the game. (0:11:10) Al: We now have confirmation that English is coming, (0:11:13) Al: and it’s coming to both Steam and Switch on the sixth of August. (0:11:14) Codey: Okay. Okay, this is the, you said this was related to Shinshan. Yes. (0:11:25) Al: No, Shin-chan was the one that was touted as like a spiritual successor to Natsu-mon, (0:11:30) Al: and then they came out with a new one. So it’s not technically related, I think, but… (0:11:30) Codey: Oh, got it, got it, got it, got it. OK. OK. (0:11:38) Codey: Cool, that it’s getting English. (0:11:40) Al: Yes. Finally, we can play it and talk to Micah, because he likes the games. (0:11:46) Codey: Also, a shout out to my neighbor, Micah, not a, well, I guess he is a pixel artist, actually. (0:11:56) Codey: Yeah. (0:11:57) Codey: Yeah. (0:11:58) Codey: I’m pretty sure, I’m pretty sure uh, but yeah, no, he came up the other day and he was like, (0:12:00) Al: I’m sorry, your neighbour is called Micah and is a pixel artist. (0:12:06) Al: Are you sure it’s not just Micah? (0:12:16) Codey: you guys keep mentioning someone named Micah, who’s a pixel artist. (0:12:19) Al: He did the logo for the podcast, not the other Micah, not your neighbor. (0:12:20) Codey: I was like, yeah, he is, yep, you did, yeah, not you, not you, the other one, you didn’t (0:12:34) Codey: do it in a fugue state. (0:12:36) Codey: Who knows? (0:12:37) Al: Maybe who knows? (0:12:38) Codey: Yeah. (0:12:39) Codey: So then we can, doing Natsuman, then we can have the brave Micah, though my, my, my neighbor (0:12:46) Codey: Micah is not, not, not brave, no, no, uh, Micah the brave is his name, we’re gonna have (0:12:48) Al: Wow, wow, Cody harsh. (0:12:57) Codey: that Micah on. (0:12:58) Codey: I’m gonna find something to bring neighbor Micah onto and then we can have a dueling (0:13:02) Codey: of the Micah’s. (0:13:03) Codey: No, I don’t have to do that anyway. (0:13:04) Al: Spirity. Spirity. Still never forgot how I wanted to say the name. They’ve announced (0:13:11) Al: that they’ve got a physical release coming for Switch. So you can pre-order now but there’s (0:13:14) Codey: Whoo. (0:13:17) Codey: Uh-huh. (0:13:18) Al: no information on when it’s coming out as far as I can see. (0:13:21) Codey: Correct. (0:13:23) Al: Woo! (0:13:24) Codey: Whoo. (0:13:25) Codey: I’m trying to think, like, would they wait? (0:13:27) Codey: I don’t think they’d wait until, like, holidays. (0:13:29) Codey: It’s, like, too early. (0:13:30) Al: Yeah, I don’t know. (0:13:32) Codey: They would probably just be like, “Aaaand drop.” (0:13:36) Al: It’s interesting, because if you look on the page, they have shipping times for a lot of games that you can pre-order. (0:13:45) Al: Including Fableton and Sunnyside and Pixelshire, but not for this. (0:13:56) Codey: We’ll find out eventually, woo! (0:13:58) Al: Google Town have announced more info on their roadmap so they have a another minor update (0:14:09) Al: coming out now with some minor stuff and then they’ve got their first major update the player (0:14:12) Codey: Yeah, it’s out now. It was out on July 8th. (0:14:19) Al: suggestion path. (0:14:26) Al: It includes expanded player and town cosmetics, a new area of the map, a new tourist teleporter (0:14:36) Al: that ensures tourists can reach your new building area, presumably that’s because they take (0:14:41) Al: a while to get places. (0:14:45) Codey: I mean, you gotta, I don’t know anything (0:14:47) Codey: about walking a lot in a new city (0:14:50) Codey: and how long it takes to get across cities, (0:14:51) Al: I want them to do a metro system. That would be fun. A subway system. They’ve extended (0:14:52) Codey: but I would assume a teleporter would be pretty nice. (0:15:01) Codey: It’s like heck, I don’t know if I can curse, I don’t know. (0:15:07) Al: zones as well, and they might include zone customization. I don’t know what that means. (0:15:16) Codey: like maybe that I mean I would think that it would mean that you could like either you could choose where the different zones are so instead of. (0:15:17) Al: changing which zone? No, that wouldn’t make any sense. (0:15:28) Al: See, the problem is that it’s very tied to the map, like the mining area has like actual (0:15:35) Al: caves that you go into that are very, like you wouldn’t just be able to move them on the map. (0:15:41) Codey: Well, why can’t you just do that? (0:15:46) Codey: No, I’m thinking like, what if they’re just little (0:15:49) Codey: square shapes and then you could just be like, (0:15:51) Codey: I want my mining area over here actually. (0:15:54) Al: So, I guess the thing is it would work fine for, for example, the farming and the forestry areas, those could easily just be like splopped up and plopped down right because one is just an area for farming and one is just an area with trees. (0:15:54) Codey: I mean, sure that doesn’t like make sense (0:15:56) Codey: but neither does a teleporter. (0:16:12) Al: But the fishing and the mining bits, it’s not just like the cave just exists within the zone itself, like it is attached to other areas of the map. And so it would just be like a (0:16:24) Al: entirely different map if you were to do that. And that’s not what they’re saying, they’re not saying different maps, right, or maps with different layouts, they’re saying you can choose what you want to do with that. (0:16:34) Al: And I don’t, I think that it would be technically very complex to be able to do that because of the way that it’s set up. (0:16:44) Codey: Could it be that like, oh, your trees are not pine trees anymore. (0:16:47) Codey: They’re maple trees or something like that. (0:16:50) Al: I guess. (0:16:51) Codey: Like that’s like a aesthetic customization. (0:16:54) Al: I guess, but I mean, is that exciting? I don’t know. (0:16:59) Al: Like, I’m just, I just, like, it doesn’t say what it means, and I want to know what it means. (0:17:00) Codey: So I guess this is player suggestion, so what about the zones do you think people wanted (0:17:09) Codey: to customize? (0:17:12) Codey: ‘Cause my first thought was, place. (0:17:16) Al: I look I’m not I’m not saying that that isn’t something that people want I’m saying I don’t (0:17:20) Al: think they’ll do that like I think that is way more complicated than it sounds it’s in no (0:17:21) Codey: Yeah. You just pick up, put down. I’m going to stop being a butt. It’s true. (0:17:27) Al: it’s not how it works and you know that (0:17:32) Codey: I’m just being a butt. Yeah, I don’t know. (0:17:35) Al: anyway and some fixes to their their worker ais and stuff like that so (0:17:41) Codey: And they did say that next week, they will have another update. There might be an update by the (0:17:47) Codey: the time this episode comes out that you can look at that will have more. (0:17:51) Codey: Information about, uh, what the major updates going to look like, as well as (0:17:56) Codey: the preview, um, server, which is like an opt-in server where they’ll put like new (0:18:06) Codey: fancy stuff that they really need checked out before it even goes on to the early (0:18:11) Codey: access server, and they’re going to have more information about that as well. (0:18:16) Codey: So I like how communicate communicative they are good. (0:18:21) Codey: Communication. I’m trying to think of what the other word I was trying to use is, but yeah, nope, it’s good. (0:18:26) Al: I agree lens island have announced that their new update game modes is coming on the 18th of July. (0:18:37) Al: So this is a very big update, which not only allows you to have (0:18:43) Al: hardcore permadeath mode, but also allow you to customize the difficulty to quite (0:18:50) Al: an interesting degree, like I’m looking at their their set. (0:18:52) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:18:56) Al: If you want a really hard experience you can do that and if you just want a chill experience (0:19:23) Al: in that world, you can you can also do that, which is cool. (0:19:26) Codey: Well, and it adds more customizability versus just having a, here’s an easy mode and here’s (0:19:32) Codey: a hard mode. (0:19:33) Al: Yeah, you get to choose which parts you want to do easy. For example, (0:19:34) Codey: It like literally puts it, yeah. (0:19:38) Al: maybe you want to do a harder mode, but you don’t want permadeath. So there’s options. (0:19:44) Codey: Yeah, I want hard mode in the farming, but not in the dungeon. (0:19:51) Al: What was hard? Oh, no. (0:19:52) Codey: I want to have to watch my plants. (0:19:56) Codey: I want to have to watch them grow or else it’s like avocados. (0:20:00) Codey: Once you take your eye off the avocado, it’s like bad. (0:20:03) Codey: I want that. (0:20:05) Codey: No, I don’t. (0:20:07) Codey: Yeah, that was all really cool. (0:20:08) Codey: They also have this game modes also has night raid defense. (0:20:12) Codey: Looks like– (0:20:14) Codey: You use Tesla coils to keep your base safe at night, (0:20:21) Codey: just wild. (0:20:24) Codey: And then new cave biomes, which looks awesome too. (0:20:27) Codey: That was one thing that I really liked when I first (0:20:30) Codey: played this game, was there’s– in the cave system (0:20:32) Codey: that you go through, there was an area in the cave (0:20:36) Codey: that just clearly was open to the sky. (0:20:40) Codey: And there were, um, well, it was like a little forest. (0:20:44) Codey: And I thought that was really cool. (0:20:45) Codey: And this, uh, picture looks like it has more of that kind of thing. (0:20:51) Codey: Um, but yeah, it’s mushroom forests, underground strongholds, some really good (0:20:56) Codey: loot, um, this lens Island every week, just trying to make me break my, I’m (0:21:02) Al: It’s not far away, or is it next quarter I think it’s meant to be. (0:21:03) Codey: going to wait for 1.0 promise. (0:21:07) Codey: I know, I don’t know. (0:21:10) Codey: I’m not, I have Costa Rica coming up. (0:21:12) Codey: but that’s where my brain is. (0:21:14) Codey: Like, yeah, so. (0:21:20) Al: And the last main piece of news we have is the Outbound. (0:21:25) Al: This is the caravan exploration game by the Above Snakes developers. (0:21:30) Al: They’ve announced that their Kickstarter is launching on the 13th of August. (0:21:36) Codey: Whoo! (0:21:38) Codey: Yeah. (0:21:40) Codey: Looks interesting. (0:21:44) Codey: I’m always curious how you’re going to be so off-grid when you have a vehicle. (0:21:50) Codey: Or is it solar powered? I don’t know. (0:21:50) Al: Yeah, it’s solar powered, I think, because they definitely show solar panels in the trailer. (0:22:02) Al: Sorry, I just opened up the tab for the next game and just got completely (0:22:06) Al: distracted by the insane graphics on this. Yes, yeah, we’ll talk more about Outbound once (0:22:07) Codey: - Yeah. (0:22:15) Al: the Kickstarter’s out. It’s good timing because the third (0:22:21) Al: is just a few days before the first episode after (0:22:30) Al: the month where I’ll be on holiday, so we’ll actually be doing that news to you on time. (0:22:36) Al: So. (0:22:36) Codey: That’s the day. I’m coming back from Costa Rica sounds I think it’s you’re going to be on your vacation when I’m kind of on mine half of mine. I’m in Costa Rica for two weeks, so. (0:22:45) Al: Yeah. Well, I’m away for a month, so I think I overlap all that. (0:22:50) Codey: Yeah. (0:22:53) Codey: Well, let’s talk about what distracted you. (0:22:56) Codey: Uh… (0:22:57) Al: Yeah, so we’ve got another new game. It’s got a Kickstarter. It’s called Trade Tales, (0:23:03) Al: and their description is a cosy modern life farming game fused with entrepreneurial (0:23:11) Al: adventures - manage a factory, open your own shop, live your (0:23:15) Al: dream life. And the graphics are weird. So you write that cat is looking so realistic (0:23:30) Al: compared to the rest of the game and you’re right, it looks so distracting. It’s just like this. (0:23:31) Codey: Yeah. (0:23:34) Codey: There’s so much detail in this cat, (0:23:38) Codey: but not in anything else. (0:23:40) Al: It looks like clipart that they’ve just stuck on the front of the game. (0:23:44) Al: like what is. (0:23:45) Al: Is this cat and why and it looks like it wants to die? (0:23:50) Codey: It says hello. I need your help. You need to kill me. (0:23:55) Al: The other interesting thing is the image itself for the game looks bad, but when you (0:24:01) Al: play the trailer the graphics look so much better. (0:24:03) Al: Why is the image so bad and the actual trailer looks much better than the image? (0:24:11) Codey: I also love you look at the image for you can’t get over that cat. (0:24:16) Codey: You look at the I’m going to cover the cat with my hand. (0:24:19) Codey: You look at the image and then the first like minute (0:24:22) Codey: and a half of the trailer, you would think you’re playing (0:24:24) Codey: a completely different game because it’s all like you’re in the city (0:24:28) Codey: because it’s the whole, you know, man, opening a shop, managing a factory, blah, blah, blah. (0:24:32) Codey: But then you’re harvesting stuff. (0:24:39) Codey: Also, this woman’s shirt looks thank you. (0:24:41) Codey: I think it’s supposed to be white in the picture, but just it’s like nude colored and it’s. (0:24:43) Al: Oh, no, I just noticed they have very interesting boobiejeko physics. (0:24:51) Al: Oh, that’s so weird. (0:24:51) Codey: Yeah. Oh my gosh. So that was my other comment was that. (0:24:56) Codey: That was my other comment. I said, what is with the stiff torso and wild hips swaying (0:25:03) Codey: in the female character models? Like there’s other than the breasts, the torso just doesn’t move. (0:25:11) Codey: But the hips are like swaying back and forth like they’re doing the Spongebob dance. (0:25:16) Al: She is on a mission (0:25:19) Codey: She is on a hot girl walk. She is. She’s definitely CEO material, but gosh darn. I was like that is (0:25:30) Codey: this is. Uh. (0:25:32) Al: I feel like there’s something here in this game and I’m intrigued by it so I’m gonna keep an eye on it. (0:25:39) Codey: I was going to say, it’s the last 20 days left and it’s already hit its goal. (0:25:39) Al: It is pierce to have a lot of backers already. It’s got 400 backers for some reason. (0:25:49) Codey: Uh, I guess the news of this game is that it’s a new game on Kickstarter. (0:25:52) Codey: So we’ll have the link for it. (0:25:54) Al: Yeah. Wild. (0:25:54) Codey: Um, but yeah, there’s a lot to this game that it just looks like a lot. (0:26:02) Codey: Cause like, do you, do you go from being like farming to then go in the city and (0:26:08) Al: Well that’s yeah the factory definitely seems to be in the city right because they show her (0:26:15) Al: looking at this vacant lot and then the implication is that that’s what oh I like the mining did you (0:26:23) Al: see the mining the mining it’s so long it’s gonna be longer than this whole section we’re talking (0:26:24) Codey: I did not make it that far, I’m not going to lie to you. (0:26:27) Codey: The trailer on the Kickstarter is six minutes long, which is awesome, but. (0:26:33) Al: about and no so you it’s a really detailed mine and you like have to mine the (0:26:38) Al: wall to get through to other parts of the mine no no no no no no not like it looks in character (0:26:41) Codey: Okay, so you said detailed, do you mean like detailed cat, like cat level detail? (0:26:50) Al: for the rest of the stuff uh unlike all of the animals which look like they look a little bit (0:26:51) Codey: Okay. (0:26:56) Al: this is okay they look like they’ve taken the nintendogs models and just slapped them in the game (0:27:03) Codey: Yeah. I also love that the cat like you like you’re right. It (0:27:04) Al: that’s what they look like to me (0:27:09) Codey: just is like, please kill me because it doesn’t. It just (0:27:12) Codey: walks behind you. It just stands it stands behind you. Let’s be (0:27:17) Codey: real. It doesn’t even move. Like your hips are doing all the (0:27:19) Al: I don’t think I want to play this game because it’s very much focused on the shop and I (0:27:20) Codey: work. Oh, found. No, I didn’t see the mining. I saw that you (0:27:27) Al: have you seen the mining? (0:27:30) Codey: You can wear cat ears, I’m back in. (0:27:33) Al: I have still never had a game with a shop that has actually been fun. Oh, they are walking right (0:27:40) Al: up to the line of copyright infringement there. They’ve got a Starworks coffee. (0:27:48) Al: See? (0:27:49) Al: And they have… what else did they have? They had an Evelyn, which is the same logo (0:28:01) Al: as 7/11. And they have… oh, it’s 7 Evelyn. That’s what they called it. Sorry, 7 Evelyn. (0:28:07) Codey: oh my gosh (0:28:09) Al: They’ve got… oh, Star Banks Coffee. Sorry, Star Banks Coffee. And they have a Wick Donalds, (0:28:16) Codey: Okay. I saw the mining. It is nice. (0:28:17) Al: The logo is just the upside down golden arrow. (0:28:20) Al: And they’ve they’ve got Mallmart like they I just I feel like they’re just asking to be sued. (0:28:27) Al: They’re like, I dare you try. (0:28:30) Al: It’s weird. (0:28:31) Al: Oh, they have oh, they have automation. (0:28:34) Al: I’m back in, I’m back in. (0:28:36) Codey: I was going to say, have you got to the to the automation? (0:28:37) Al: They’ve got oh, no, they’ve got Ritos. (0:28:41) Al: They’re making Ritos and Fanta. (0:28:44) Codey: Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. (0:28:46) Codey: I. I need to look at those bed and jerry’s. (0:28:47) Al: Oh my word, they’re- they’re- they’re- (0:28:49) Al: So much of this is- this is wild. (0:28:52) Codey: Did you see the bed and jerry’s? (0:28:52) Al: Yeah, I did, I saw the Ben and Jerry’s. (0:28:54) Codey: OK, we’ve got Ray’s classic 100 percent. (0:28:56) Al: They’ve got Kraft’s mac and cheese. (0:28:58) Al: This is, oh, for goodness sake, day 400. (0:29:00) Codey: Instead of Doritos, it’s just a posture free ritos. (0:29:02) Al: This is so stupid. (0:29:06) Codey: » Oh my God. (0:29:07) Codey: Yeah, no, this the craft, the automation part of it looks very factorial to me. (0:29:12) Al: Oh, that’s an interesting outfit for the date. (0:29:13) Codey: Instead of Fanta, it’s just Fanna, Herb. (0:29:18) Al: Oh, my. (0:29:19) Codey: I’m trying to find the Ben and Jerry’s because that was blatant. (0:29:23) Codey: Bob and Jimmy’s. (0:29:25) Al: You need to skip forward to the date that they do. (0:29:29) Codey: Okay, I’m gonna let it play. (0:29:31) Codey: Oh, she’s like K-pop dancing in the in the fact (0:29:36) Al: Oh yeah. I know, I just… Who’s making this game and what are they on? (0:29:36) Codey: Day 420, blaze it day 420, do you stalk every single shelf? (0:29:46) Codey: Finding love? No, we really do. I, we are just, yeah, I don’t know. (0:29:48) Al: Yeah, just you wait. What’s she wearing? (0:29:53) Codey: She was like, yep, go, going on a trip. (0:29:54) Al: And then we go to the beach after this, which is also an interesting one. (0:30:00) Al: They put the jiggle physics to work here. (0:30:02) Codey: Oh, those are bikinis, y’all. (0:30:02) Al: here. (0:30:06) Al: Oh no, it was so shallow that she just smacked into the ground as well, that would be really painful. (0:30:06) Codey: What is this game? (0:30:10) Codey: Oh, they dropped her in the water. (0:30:17) Codey: Oh, my gosh, the jiggle physics, they’re dancing. (0:30:22) Codey: Oh, now they’re in an arcade. (0:30:23) Codey: This this really is just watching this whole trailer. (0:30:26) Al: That walk animation is wild, that camera level with that skirt was not great. (0:30:34) Al: Um. (0:30:34) Codey: build brand awareness, raise. (0:30:37) Codey: Oh my gosh, they’re going to get hit by so. (0:30:41) Codey: Much copyright or alternatively, did Lay’s pay them to have raise in the game. (0:30:43) Al: I need to play this game, don’t I? (0:30:50) Al: think you know the answer to that. I need to play this game don’t I? Oh my word that walking (0:30:56) Al: animation every time it’s so weird! (0:31:00) Codey: What are we doing? (0:31:00) Codey: Okay. (0:31:02) Codey: What do we got? (0:31:02) Codey: Stretch goals. (0:31:04) Codey: Oh, we hit the museum. (0:31:04) Codey: You got, oh wait. (0:31:06) Codey: Did we hit the museum? (0:31:06) Codey: We have not hit the museum. (0:31:08) Codey: Advanced character creation. (0:31:08) Codey: More vehicles, more part-time jobs, museum. (0:31:10) Codey: creation, more vehicles, more part-time jobs, museum, constantly. (0:31:16) Al: This game isn’t coming out until 2026 and there I’ve got a Switch logo there. I feel like maybe (0:31:23) Al: don’t plan to release a game on Switch in 2026. Just a thought. This is quite the game. I don’t (0:31:40) Codey: But, uh, yep, nope, this that was y’all. (0:31:42) Codey: You need to watch this trailer. (0:31:43) Codey: This is probably. (0:31:44) Al: Yeah, our explanation does not do it justice. You need to go to the link in the show notes (0:31:49) Al: to the Kickstarter and watch this video and then come talk about it in the Slack. I just don’t know (0:31:55) Al: what to do. Weird cat models though. I would rather one of Coral Island’s animals than an (0:31:58) Codey: You can adopt up to 10 pets to live in your home. (0:32:02) Codey: I’m in. (0:32:03) Codey: They heard us complain about Coral Island. (0:32:07) Codey: There were dogs, too. (0:32:08) Codey: There were weird dogs. (0:32:09) Codey: No. (0:32:09) Codey: No, no, I won’t. (0:32:12) Al: infinite number of these animals. (0:32:19) Al: So that’s Trade Tales, the Kickstarter’s out now. (0:32:22) Al: So you’ve only got 20 days, well, less than that when you. (0:32:27) Al: What, you’ve probably got about a week and a half by the time or two weeks (0:32:31) Al: by the time this comes out, two weeks to decide whether you’re back in this project. (0:32:37) Codey: I’m going to play it, but I’m not going to back it personally. (0:32:39) Al: Yeah, my worry about backing it is do I (0:32:43) Al: actually believe that they won’t be sued in the next two years before they release? (0:32:47) Al: I can’t be confident of- (0:32:49) Al: That’s the news. We’re going to talk about office cat. This is a mobile game where you (0:32:54) Codey: Whoo! (0:33:04) Al: are a real estate owner for offices full of cats. That’s it. Well, yes, obviously. Come on. A human (0:33:14) Codey: And you are a cat yourself. (0:33:17) Al: isn’t going to rent offices. (0:33:19) Al: to cats, are they? (0:33:20) Codey: I would. (0:33:23) Al: So, my first thoughts on this game, Cody, are that after you told me to play it, or (0:33:25) Codey: And I would put them in little suits. (0:33:28) Codey: Isn’t that really so cute? (0:33:37) Al: we agreed to play it, I guess, because I did say, “OK, fine, let’s do that one.” (0:33:40) Codey: I also, okay, I am being severely misrepresented here. (0:33:45) Codey: I threw like 10 game names at Al. (0:33:48) Al: Yeah, and half and half of them we’ve already covered on the podcast Cody (0:33:52) Codey: Correct. (0:33:54) Codey: I was like, I don’t remember, I don’t remember. (0:33:55) Codey: I was getting ready for Go Fest. (0:33:57) Codey: I didn’t know. (0:33:58) Codey: So I just sent him a bunch of names. (0:34:00) Codey: And then he was like, yeah, sure, let’s do Office Cat. (0:34:02) Codey: So this was just one of, it’s not like I was like, (0:34:04) Al: It looked cute! (0:34:05) Codey: oh my gosh, this game, I wanna play this game specifically. (0:34:10) Codey: I didn’t play Office Cat, I didn’t say that. (0:34:12) Codey: It was just in the list. (0:34:14) Codey: Anyway, and then we decided. (0:34:15) Al: So I booted it up and I spent like 10 minutes playing it, and then the next day I spent (0:34:19) Al: another 10 minutes playing it, and then I completely forgot it existed. (0:34:25) Al: But I mean, so it’s interesting in so much as like, this is possibly the most mobile (0:34:32) Al: game. (0:34:33) Codey: Give it the crown! (0:34:34) Al: any mobile game has ever mobile gamed, right? (0:34:38) Al: There is just like every thing that mobile games do, every single thing that they do, (0:34:44) Al: this game does, right? (0:34:46) Al: You know, from your like timers that you know, your real life timers, I mean, this, this (0:34:51) Al: won’t be built until 15 minutes time, okay, fine, whatever, sure, to the weirdest thing (0:34:58) Al: I found. (0:34:59) Al: So you, you, you build your offices, well, you’ve got the building, you don’t build the (0:35:04) Al: offices, realistic to real life, you’re an estate owner, you’re not doing any building, (0:35:08) Al: you’re not actually creating anything, you’re just owning, you buy, you buy furniture, right? (0:35:14) Al: You buy furniture and you put it in building, in rooms, and then you say, Oh, this, I’ll (0:35:17) Al: get this business to hire it, okay, sure, fine. (0:35:21) Al: And it’s like fixed term contracts. (0:35:23) Al: And at the end of the contract, you can either go find another company to rent it or pay (0:35:30) Al: Pay the company money to have them rent you to continue rent. (0:35:34) Codey: Yeah. (0:35:34) Al: What sort of business is this, that I’m paying them to continue their contract? (0:35:40) Al: That’s bizarre. (0:35:42) Codey: You don’t have to pay them. You could watch an ad. (0:35:45) Al: Oh, the ads are everywhere. (0:35:48) Codey: Yeah. Yeah. Uh, I liked that they’re, I’m trying to think of some positives about this game. (0:35:59) Codey: I liked the cat themed naming systems. So things like Twitter became chatter (0:36:04) Codey: or Shaw in French is cats. Walmart became Pawmart. They did have, uh, the Tesla one was funny. I got up. (0:36:14) Codey: Oh, I already have the game open. I was like, I got a little of the game back up. Um, I didn’t, uh, (0:36:21) Codey: Tesla’s me lawn mask. (0:36:34) Codey: A million gates. (0:36:36) Al: This game? Yeah, it’s not for me. (0:36:41) Codey: Posh, instead of porch capital. Anyway. (0:36:44) Al: You know, the thing that annoyed me the most about the ads is every ad was the exact same (0:36:48) Al: one ad. It was for this one game and I just constantly… White out survival. (0:36:49) Codey: Oh, I got like four different ones. Which game was yours? (0:36:55) Codey: Oh, see, I didn’t get that. I mean, I got that one sometimes, but I also got solitaire clash, (0:37:00) Codey: which you can make real money by playing solitaire. (0:37:00) Al: No, no, Cody, not another scam game, don’t do it. (0:37:04) Codey: » I’m not playing it. (0:37:08) Codey: I did look at the reviews, I was like, is this legit? (0:37:11) Codey: And everyone was like, don’t do it, it’s a scam. (0:37:16) Codey: And I got a couple other like gambling ones, but I don’t know, I’m not into that. (0:37:24) Codey: I also, another positive, trying to have positives. (0:37:29) Codey: Also, I think that it’s cute that when the businesses come to rent your (0:37:32) Codey: the space, um, so. (0:37:34) Codey: I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know if you guys are familiar with that. (0:37:36) Codey: I don’t know if you guys are familiar with that, but I think that’s a good one. (0:37:39) Codey: I would say you have like eight desks or whatever. (0:37:42) Codey: So eight employees come to work and each of them have their own name and their own little (0:37:48) Al: art style is very cute. I will definitely give you that. I mean, that’s what Trax does to this game, (0:37:52) Al: right? Like you suggested it presumably because it looked really cute and it was cats and I… (0:37:56) Codey: And it was like a management same house like I haven’t done this kind of thing before. (0:38:01) Al: Yeah and I thought it was cute because it looked cute and the graphics were nice so it definitely (0:38:06) Al: is good looking. That is the thing that is correct. So I mean, I think it mostly comes down to the fact (0:38:06) Codey: No. (0:38:08) Codey: No. (0:38:10) Codey: End of positivity. (0:38:12) Codey: Let’s rip into this game. (0:38:17) Al: that this is designed to. (0:38:19) Al: And it’s like, I get that you want to make money, but it’s just doing every bad thing that every game that is bad does and there’s no real there’s no justification to that right like you can do half of the stuff without being as bad as it is like ads aren’t a bad thing but the way that it does it literally every option and it’s just doing every bad thing that every every game that is bad does and there’s no real there’s no justification to that right like you can do half of the stuff. (0:38:42) Al: Without being as bad as it is like ads aren’t a bad thing but the way that it does it literally every option and (0:38:48) Al: it’s like for example right you earn money without playing the game right like as you’re away you get rent and then there’s a maximum amount you can get which is like two hours worth of rent okay great. (0:39:00) Codey: - Mm, it depends on the company. (0:39:02) Al: It starts out it starts out as two hours and you can expand that I think but anyway that’s not important specifics don’t matter. (0:39:10) Al: When you come back you can either get that or you can get eight times the value by watching an ad the ad is like a minute long. (0:39:16) Codey: Yeah. Yeah. (0:39:19) Al: It’s not like a it’s a one off thing it’s not like a you do this and you get twice the amount of money for a while it’s no no this is for this one thing and so it’s just like constantly throwing ads in your face and you know you pointed out in the notes about like the constant list of oh here’s a deal where you can get these gems and you can do this and so it’s like yeah you can pay to get rid of ads or you can pay to get gems to do other things in the game faster and it just. (0:39:49) Al: becomes a slog of and that and that example I was saying of like you pay the company to continue do it like that doesn’t make any sense logically but is presumably only there just to get more money out of you and it’s just like I don’t it removes any sort of joy that I would have ever had from this game by just going this is just a money machine for us. (0:40:10) Codey: Yeah. (0:40:12) Codey: Yeah. (0:40:14) Codey: And if you’re not interested in putting money in, uh, then it’s not worth it. (0:40:18) Codey: Um, (0:40:20) Codey: Uh, as I. (0:40:20) Al: And the thing is that I would probably have paid a small amount of like maybe like 10, 15 quid, (0:40:26) Al: I would have paid that to get rid of the ads and you know get some currency and stop (0:40:31) Al: shoving all these things in my face. I would do that, absolutely. If I could pay that amount of (0:40:35) Al: money and all of my like, oh you can skip this with an ad and you can double this with an ad (0:40:41) Al: and if I got all those with that, I would absolutely do it. But it doesn’t, it’s so, (0:40:46) Al: everything is expensive, so expensive. (0:40:48) Codey: Yeah. Well, and so my no ads right now you get, uh, you skip the ads, uh, you get experience (0:40:56) Codey: for free. Yeah. Everything becomes free, but it’s usually $38 and it’s currently $19, but (0:41:02) Al: which is so much money. (0:41:06) Codey: that’s still so much money. And I bet I really feel as though they would be like, Oh, you (0:41:13) Codey: have it for a month, none in a month pay more. (0:41:16) Al: Yeah I don’t, I don’t, I don’t, yeah, yeah I don’t trust it to give you this like, (0:41:18) Codey: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I have that. And then the gem booster thing, you have to pay like (0:41:21) Al: oh, ads are gone forever. I do not trust that at all based on everything I want. (0:41:31) Codey: $10. And then you get more, like any time you were in three gems, you were in 10 instead, (0:41:36) Codey: but it’s just like, there was just so many, like, give us money, give us money. Hey, you (0:41:41) Codey: could make your situation more efficient if you gave us money. (0:41:48) Codey: They have like the roulette games where you spin a wheel and you get resources, but you (0:41:53) Codey: have to watch after the first time you have to watch an ad and the ad only happens. Like (0:41:58) Codey: you can only do it like once every six hours. So you have to wait six hours to watch another (0:42:02) Codey: ad, which, you know, that’s also giving them money. Like you watch the ads. There was a (0:42:10) Codey: kitty bank thing, which I saw that you have to pay it and you earn like resources for (0:42:15) Codey: kitty bank and then it’ll be like hey your kitty bank’s full but i (0:42:18) Codey: have to pay three dollars to even use it so no point um I was kind of into the clock out (0:42:25) Codey: challenge thing which they give you like points towards resources and it was a cute little gimmick (0:42:34) Codey: but after like four times of earning resources it’s like oh you can earn these other resources (0:42:40) Codey: but you have to accept all of your rewards in consequential order and or in the like order (0:42:46) Codey: consecutive order and the one. (0:42:48) Codey: It’s just like, I’m not spending any money on this game. (0:42:50) Codey: You guys, so I wish just that wasn’t, none of that was fun, but. (0:42:54) Codey: Well, I wish just that wasn’t none of that was fun, but. (0:42:58) Al: Yeah, and it’s frustrating because it ruins what could be a fun game. I think it’s a (0:43:09) Al: little bit ironic, right? Because it’s clearly meant to be mocking capitalism, right? Because (0:43:18) Al: there’s so many things in it that it’s like, “Oh, you talk to your mum about your business (0:43:24) Al: and like she talks about, you know, are you working hard or whatever and it’s clear like. (0:43:28) Al: Like the people who made the game don’t think that, you know, landlords are, you know, (0:43:33) Al: working hard because you’re not you’re not doing anything you just click a button and (0:43:36) Al: you buy that like that’s that that’s the whole point. It’s a mocking of capitalism, except (0:43:41) Al: it then does the exact same things that it’s complaining about. (0:43:42) Codey: Yeah, well, and as so did you ever move on the map further? (0:43:50) Codey: Because I guess you only played like 10 minutes here, 10 minutes there. (0:43:51) Al: I didn’t know I did. No, I take the 10 minutes was a bit of an exaggeration I did I got to us, and I got a second building up here. (0:43:58) Codey: OK, so yeah, because when you get that building and you move on to the second (0:44:01) Codey: space, suddenly it’s like, oh, buy a house, get a car and like do these things. (0:44:07) Codey: And I’m like, wow, capitalism, like buy these material things (0:44:12) Codey: and it’s like all really high. (0:44:14) Codey: So it won’t like cost. (0:44:16) Codey: So the game you’re basically the game is like, hey, like make make more money, (0:44:21) Codey: make more money, and then all these like things in the game are like, oh, you (0:44:24) Codey: want more stuff, just watch an ad, just watch an ad. (0:44:26) Codey: And my experience was I played for maybe like 20, 30 minutes. (0:44:30) Codey: And then the next day I played for like 20 minutes. (0:44:32) Codey: And then I kept trying to go back to the game and I’d only be on the game (0:44:35) Codey: for like five minutes before I’m like, I’m not doing like, no, I’m not wasting (0:44:40) Codey: my time on this game that’s asking me. (0:44:42) Codey: So I would just like check it and be like, oh, wow, I didn’t make that much money while I was gone because I hit that, you know, I’m only making rent for four hours thing or whatever. (0:44:54) Codey: So it has potential. (0:44:56) Codey: Thank you so much. (0:44:56) Codey: Thank you. (0:44:58) Codey: Thank you. (0:44:58) Al: think I would say it had potential. I don’t think like they’re probably making a decent amount of (0:44:58) Codey: Thank you. (0:45:03) Al: money and therefore they’re never going to go back on that right like. Yeah it’s really hard to say (0:45:12) Al: anything else about this game right because it’s like so dominating. They are like this is the only (0:45:18) Al: thing I can really think about like yeah sure it’s cute, cute graphics, funny names, a scathing (0:45:24) Al: critique on capitalism that it falls into itself. (0:45:28) Codey: Uh-huh, yeah, yeah. (0:45:28) Al: Cool. Gameplay’s fine, right? Like it’s an idle game, you know what you’re getting with an idle (0:45:33) Al: game, but it’s just like it’s idle in so much as you spend more time looking at ads than anything (0:45:39) Codey: Yep and you got your basics. There’s a free currency. There’s a like gem currency (0:45:45) Codey: That’s a more difficult currency to get but you could pay if you want to get more of it like kind of thing (0:45:49) Codey: You basically just manage the building (0:45:53) Codey: So you have offices (0:45:56) Codey: And you can like you’ve mentioned you can purchase furniture to go in the offices (0:46:00) Codey: You can then upgrade that furniture and that was always funny if you get a higher tier company (0:46:05) Codey: And you put it in the office that you had like a lower tier company in they’re like (0:46:10) Codey: white desk (0:46:10) Al: - Yeah, yeah. (laughs) (0:46:13) Codey: What is this and then at one point they were like I can’t believe this office doesn’t have this (0:46:19) Codey: picture frame of a cat that costs 50 gems (0:46:20) Al: Yeah, it’s very specific. Yeah. And you have some, you have like some that will not go (0:46:27) Al: to the toilet in like cheap toilets, they just refuse to do it. (0:46:30) Codey: Yeah, but and then they’re like efficiency is lowered and you (0:46:33) Codey: make less money because they’re mad about the, the quote unquote quality (0:46:39) Codey: of the, yeah, and no, and the upper tier ones cost more money too. (0:46:44) Codey: So you’re constantly trying to like spend money, any kind of money to (0:46:50) Codey: get the in-game currency so you can upgrade your stuff so that you can (0:46:54) Codey: get the better companies so that you can have more money, but then you (0:46:57) Codey: need to get it’s just like as a loop. (0:47:00) Codey: And there was nothing redeeming. (0:47:00) Al: Yeah, yeah (0:47:03) Codey: Um, yes, you have, you have your offices, your bathrooms, your meeting room, a (0:47:08) Codey: break room, a superintendent that is basically just tech support for the whole (0:47:12) Codey: building, uh, and then an electric room because electricity is another currency. (0:47:18) Codey: Like you, after a while, you can’t upgrade anything anymore because you’re (0:47:21) Codey: drawing too much electricity. (0:47:22) Al: Yeah, and for some reason there is no grid. You have generators and batteries. (0:47:22) Codey: So you have to go like, yeah, it’s just a generator room. (0:47:26) Al: Why? Why is there no grid in this universe? Why? Why? We all individually generate. Like, (0:47:33) Al: can you imagine that? All these generators in that room, that’s a death trap. (0:47:38) Codey: That’s a hot room and they, and they put, you put the superintendents right next to (0:47:42) Codey: it, they’re, they’re, they’ve got to be, they got to be so hot over there and (0:47:43) Al: I remember an oxide. Come on! It’s also not breathing. (0:47:48) Codey: they’re in their little, their little overalls and, and little hats. (0:47:52) Al: Yeah, I think the humor is good in this game, and I think there was potential in how the (0:47:54) Codey: Just, it’s just not good working. (0:48:01) Al: game works. It’s just a chock full of in-app purchases and subscriptions and ads and everything. (0:48:12) Codey: Uh-huh, I really think that that’s all we have to say. (0:48:16) Al: All right, well, it’s a good thing. I feel like we maybe talked about (0:48:21) Al: trade details for long (0:48:22) Al: than we did about OfficeCat. Alright, well, yeah, I wouldn’t suggest playing OfficeCat to people. That’s it. Yeah, yeah. Or like literally any other mobile game, right? Like, (0:48:26) Codey: Yeah. (0:48:32) Codey: If you are really looking for somewhere to just throw money, (0:48:37) Codey: maybe a charity is b

My name is Al and we (0:00:38) Codey: And my name is Cody. (0:00:40) Al: are here today to talk about cottagecore games. As always, transcripts are available in the (0:00:44) Codey: Woooo! (0:00:48) Al: show notes and on the website. Cody, how are you doing? (0:00:52) Codey: I’m doing good uh celebrating America Day by staying at home um and not doing anything though (0:01:03) Codey: honestly so I’m staying at my because I’m doing Pokemon Go Fest this upcoming weekend um like the (0:01:08) Codey: next three days in New York City and so I met my partner’s house and or his apartment in New Jersey (0:01:15) Codey: so we could probably literally just walk like 10 minutes to the riverfront um and then see like (0:01:21) Codey: like watch the fireworks that happen. (0:01:22) Codey: been like possibly either over the river or like the ones happening in the (0:01:28) Codey: city probably see them from here probably as well so I usually it’s like (0:01:30) Al: when do they happen? Right. Yeah, see that’s why I always find funny about America, like (0:01:33) Codey: Sun it’s like after sundown so it’d be like a night nine or ten o’clock at (0:01:37) Codey: night so I got (0:01:42) Al: your big fireworks day is in July, and I’m like that just sounds so late at night for (0:01:47) Codey: Yeah, it is. (0:01:48) Al: fireworks because like our big one is November, so it’s like it’s getting dark here at like (0:01:55) Al: four or five, five o’clock at that point, so like you’re finished working. (0:02:00) Al: You can go out and watch fireworks, like you don’t have to wait long at all, it’s great. (0:02:04) Codey: well we have to celebrate that that day that we said heck you to the british monarchy so (0:02:11) Al: I mean, I’m sure they could have chosen a different day if they wanted to. I mean, it’s (0:02:14) Al: probably too late now, but there were multiple days. Multiple days they could have chosen. (0:02:16) Codey: yeah at this point it’s in our dna (0:02:21) Al: It’s not like there’s just one specific day. Anyway. Yeah, I’m good. I’m celebrating Independence (0:02:24) Codey: Right, yeah so that’s that’s what I’m uh how are you? (0:02:33) Al: Day in a different way with an election. So, yeah, still. (0:02:38) Codey: Woo democracy! (0:02:41) Al: For now. Well, we have more democracy than you just now, I think. Although we still have (0:02:42) Codey: Yeah it’s like wait is it still, are we still counting this as democracy? (0:02:50) Codey: I… D-I. (0:02:51) Al: an elected monarch. Not an elected monarch, an unelected monarch. You know, you have an (0:02:54) Codey: Not, yeah, not elect. (0:02:59) Al: elected monarch, we have an unelected monarch. Yeah, I know, I know. That’s what I’m in. (0:03:01) Codey: Well, they’re trying to make it a monarch and we’re not. (0:03:07) Al: Yes. (0:03:11) Al: So just paying attention to election, we’re recording this two hours before that finishes, (0:03:19) Al: so going to be a long night. (0:03:22) Codey: do y’all have the ranked choice voting though? okay nevermind today’s episode is (0:03:30) Codey: about gogotown (0:03:32) Al: So, today we’re going to talk about Gogotown. This is going to be a Gogotown first impressions (0:03:35) Codey: yep (0:03:39) Al: because I didn’t think we’d be able to get enough time to play this game properly to (0:03:44) Al: do a full in-depth discussion of the game. And after playing the game, maybe that was (0:03:51) Al: a good suggestion. So, we’ll talk about that in the main section. (0:03:56) Al: Before that, we have some news, some exciting news, some… (0:04:00) Codey: I, as ever, am a Ph.D. student with two extra jobs, so busy busy. (0:04:02) Al: …news. First of all, Cody, what have you been up to? (0:04:14) Codey: But when I’m not doing that, I’m still playing my cross stitch game. (0:04:19) Codey: It’s just basically a color by number game. (0:04:21) Codey: I am running out of in-game money to buy patterns though, so I need to slow down on it and find (0:04:30) Codey: the balance to do. (0:04:31) Codey: Because I get a certain amount of currency each day, and when I complete them. (0:04:37) Codey: So I just need to slow down and get caught up, find the balance again. (0:04:42) Codey: I just had a bit where I’m trying to brain rot a little bit, so playing it quite a bit. (0:04:51) Codey: Also I beat the career mode of Power Watch Simulator, so I’m now going through and trying (0:04:57) Codey: to 100% all of the achievements. (0:05:00) Codey: Which is… I mean, it’s just stuff like on the… (0:05:06) Codey: Like one achievement is called way of the blade and it was like on the helicopter finish the blades first (0:05:14) Codey: So I did that. So I’m just like doing those kinds of things one of them is to like complete the carousel without ever (0:05:20) Codey: turning the carousel off (0:05:23) Codey: It’s also gonna be wild. The carousel was a pain in the booty to do the first time. So trying to do it (0:05:30) Al: I can see how it would be difficult if it was spinning. (0:05:32) Codey: Yeah, yeah (0:05:34) Codey: So it’s that kind of stuff (0:05:40) Codey: Sad for some humans cassette beasts I have kind of put aside for the moment (0:05:46) Codey: I hit a point where (0:05:48) Codey: There was an intriguing thing that happened in the story and then I was like, oh no, there’s story (0:05:55) Codey: And (0:05:57) Al: I didn’t sign up for story. (0:06:01) Codey: I was like oh no I’m gonna care. Like I want to be able to like sit down with this and really pay (0:06:08) Codey: attention. And that’s not what I’m looking for in a game right now. I need to just turn my brain off (0:06:16) Codey: which is not what I do when there’s stories in games. So um yeah that that’ll be on pause for (0:06:21) Codey: a smidge. But Disney Dreamlight Valley added Mulan and Mushu. There’s also now (0:06:29) Codey: Bye! (0:06:30) Codey: A daily request, um, thing through Remy’s Diner restaurant. (0:06:38) Codey: I don’t remember what they call it. (0:06:40) Codey: Um, yeah. (0:06:41) Codey: So you have daily challenges now with, um, Daisy at her boutique, which you (0:06:48) Codey: can get currency to then buy more stuff. (0:06:50) Codey: So I’ve been doing that. (0:06:52) Codey: Um, it’s, it’s real simple. (0:06:55) Codey: You basically just go and she’s like, I want an outfit that has this. (0:06:58) Codey: And I’m like, okay, cool. (0:07:00) Codey: That outfit, and then that’s what you wear for a bit. (0:07:02) Codey: Um, uh, but there’s now something like that with Remy. (0:07:08) Codey: He does this like delivery service where it starts little quests of like, uh, (0:07:14) Codey: yesterday it was like the fairy godmother wants, has ordered a bunch of desserts. (0:07:18) Codey: And then you bring it to the fairy godmother and she’s like, thank you. (0:07:21) Codey: Can you bring these to Ursula for me? (0:07:22) Codey: And we’re like, what the heck? (0:07:24) Codey: Why are you what? (0:07:25) Codey: Um, and then you get like a thousand, a thousand monies and you get some currency. (0:07:30) Codey: But I really like the, I paid the in-game moonlight or moonstone currency or whatever. (0:07:36) Codey: I have a bunch of it cause I’ve played since early access. (0:07:39) Codey: So they gave, they were, they were like throwing that, that stuff at me. (0:07:42) Codey: So I spent some of that on the star path for Mulan because pretty much everything (0:07:50) Codey: is fire, like all of the outfits are really good. (0:07:54) Codey: All of the furniture is really good. (0:07:56) Codey: The outfits are really good, all of the furniture is really good. (0:08:00) Codey: It’s not cherries, it’s magnolias, like these pink floating flower piles and stuff like that, but it’s really really pretty. (0:08:08) Codey: A lot of dresses or outfits that have that as part of the outfit, so yeah, definitely really like that. (0:08:20) Codey: Still trying to get achievements in that game as well, so I’ve been playing that. (0:08:26) Codey: That’s pretty much it, what have you been up to? (0:08:30) Al: I have been obviously playing Go Go Town. (0:08:35) Al: I’ve been playing some more Day of the Diver. (0:08:38) Al: I got really into that. (0:08:39) Al: So (0:08:41) Al: that’s been going well and also farm RPG as usual. (0:08:44) Codey: hmm how many bottles are we at now? (0:08:45) Al: So. (0:08:48) Al: Oh, 85, 85, it’s taken a while. (0:08:52) Al: It’s taken a while. My I can’t forget. (0:08:54) Al: Is it the crafting, I think, that needs to be as well as the farming? (0:08:59) Al: My farming level is 85. (0:09:00) Al: So that’s what’s limiting me just now, but my crafting level is at 97. (0:09:02) Codey: Mmm. (0:09:04) Codey: Mmm. (0:09:05) Al: So that kind of shows you the difference there. (0:09:08) Al: Um, and it’s like the, it’s quite insane, the increases you need to get. (0:09:12) Al: So I’m currently at 424 million XP for farming and to get to level 99, it’s 2 billion. (0:09:18) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:09:23) Al: So I’m not even a quarter of the way there, even though I’m at level 85. (0:09:29) Al: So I think that. (0:09:30) Al: That’s going to take a while because it’s quite limited in how much you can actually (0:09:35) Al: farm obviously. (0:09:37) Al: So I currently have 32 plots just now, eight lines, eight rows, yeah, eight rows of things, (0:09:47) Al: and it’s like a billion to get the next, the next row, a billion silver, which is going (0:09:49) Codey: Yeah. (0:09:52) Codey: Yeah. (0:09:54) Al: to take me a long time to get to. (0:09:55) Al: So, yeah, I’m just plugging away. (0:09:56) Codey: I mean, it’s good that you’re still plugging away and going down that (0:10:01) Codey: that storyline for curious listeners slash me. (0:10:02) Al: Yes. (0:10:02) Al: Yeah. (0:10:08) Codey: Because I definitely wanted to hear the end of it, but did not have (0:10:12) Codey: the ability to commit. (0:10:17) Codey: But like, it’s the sunk cost fallacy it’s- (0:10:20) Codey: you’re like what you can’t you’re almost there (0:10:24) Al: I know, I know, I know, I know… (0:10:29) Codey: I’m sorry. I appreciate you appreciate your efforts (0:10:34) Al: The good news is, today, as we’re recording, I got my inventory to exactly one thing. (0:10:40) Codey: Nice are you are you keeping it there are you gonna keep (0:10:46) Al: of course I’m not keeping it there I need more inventory I know it’s a good (0:10:49) Codey: it’s a good it’s a it’s a good like even number you know (0:10:57) Codey: that’s fair though (0:10:58) Al: even number but like to get anywhere you need to get much higher got to keep (0:11:02) Codey: I heard something the other day that five is the most even odd number and I (0:11:11) Codey: yep it’s true that’s that is true it just is Cody’s ADHD cast yeah news (0:11:14) Al: Ah, so we’re gonna talk about some news! (0:11:22) Al: First up, first up we have, I feel like my headphones are on backwards. (0:11:30) Al: They were on backwards, that’s why. I was like, these feel uncomfortable and then I realized the (0:11:34) Al: cable was on the wrong side, so that explains. That’s why they were uncomfortable and not staying (0:11:35) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:11:39) Al: on my head. Ever After Falls have announced that they’re Steam Deck verified now. (0:11:40) Codey: That’s fair. (0:11:44) Codey: Woo! (0:11:45) Al: That’s it. I don’t think it’s actually changed anything, this just means that they’ve (0:11:46) Codey: That’s it. That’s the tweet. (0:11:53) Al: had it approved that they were doing everything they were meant to do. (0:11:57) Al: So they were doing everything they were meant to do and now they have proof. (0:11:58) Codey: Mm-hmm (0:12:03) Codey: Whoo (0:12:05) Al: Hotel Galactic have announced a timeline for their project. So their Kickstarter, (0:12:10) Al: it’ll be out by the time this episode out, I think comes out on Monday. (0:12:14) Codey: Monday this episode comes out on Monday oh okay I was like I thought this was a (0:12:15) Al: And they’ve it Monday. Monday, Monday, Monday. (0:12:20) Al: The Kickstarter. (0:12:23) Codey: Wednesday thing anyway (0:12:25) Al: Not the, not the podcast episode. The Kickstarter for this game comes out on Monday. (0:12:28) Codey: yes ye (0:12:33) Al: How do you always confuse me? I don’t, you’re just… (0:12:35) Codey: I’m just I confuse myself no so that’s yeah (0:12:39) Al: uh so the so the kickstart so the kickstarter will be out by the time you (0:12:44) Al: listen to this uh the early access for the game is q2 next year and then full (0:12:49) Al: release is apparently q4 of 2026 that is their current plan (0:12:53) Codey: and uh sure looks like a good game i’m excited for it (0:13:01) Codey: I don’t know it uh I really like the little one of the characters named (0:13:05) Codey: Sparn he looks real cute and it says that he trips over himself all the time and I was like dude same (0:13:12) Codey: um so yeah a little cute dude and it’s it it’s like a i’m just gonna stop it looks good (0:13:21) Codey: it’s on my watch list. (0:13:23) Codey: but it’s really far away from time so who knows if the universe will still (0:13:27) Codey: exist at that point. (0:13:29) Al: Yeah, it’s on my whistles as well, but so is everything basically (0:13:34) Codey: are you gonna kick start it? (0:13:38) Al: Probably (0:13:39) Codey: okay are you saving (0:13:40) Al: I just kick-started one. What did I just kick-start? Oh, yeah tiny garden the the the not a Polly Pocket game (0:13:43) Codey: are you oh yep the polypocky came (0:13:48) Al: The not a Polly Pocket game (0:13:51) Al: That it’s definitely not a Polly Pocket game (0:13:54) Codey: Totally not. Uh, yeah. Cool. (0:13:57) Al: But I feel like there’s quite a few coming out. (0:13:59) Al: Soon we’ve no kick starters. (0:14:00) Codey: Polypocky games. (0:14:08) Al: Because there’s that one. (0:14:12) Al: And then we’ve got farm folks and lose lagoon and superzoo (0:14:15) Al: story and outbound and moon haven. (0:14:20) Codey: yep I’m not gonna kickstart anything (0:14:27) Codey: it looks really cute though it’s on my eyes are on it my eyes are also on (0:14:33) Codey: coral island (0:14:34) Al: Nice, nice. They’ve given more information on their 1.1 update. (0:14:38) Codey: did we know the name of the update (0:14:42) Al: I don’t know, but what I will say is that we did know everything that’s in this title, (0:14:48) Al: right? None of this is new information and it is a very boring title. Story finale, London Sea. (0:14:56) Codey: I mean it’s I think like at calling it story finale like points to the fact that they were like (0:14:56) Al: Congrats, well done. What a great name. (0:15:04) Codey: Stuff was not ready like stuff was not (0:15:06) Al: They should have just called it. It’s the 1.1 update called 1.0. (0:15:08) Codey: It was not final (0:15:15) Codey: Yeah (0:15:16) Al: We’ve got the game now. Congrats. (0:15:19) Codey: Yeah (0:15:21) Al: So they’ve given some more information on things. Let’s leave the most exciting thing (0:15:27) Al: for last. So we’ll talk about the fact that they’ve got some more of the merfolk townies. (0:15:33) Al: Tony’s this is for of (0:15:36) Al: Galoon, Etna, Todi and Lannin (0:15:41) Al: with a little bit of explanation for them. They’ve added a (0:15:47) Al: gacha machine for recycling so you can put in rubbish and get things which is cool recycling stuff (0:15:52) Codey: so did the recycling center ever work before? is it just something you have to turn on? okay this is (0:15:56) Al: No, I don’t think it did I think (0:16:00) Codey: this is the first time okay because I was like I never got the recycling center to work so (0:16:04) Al: Yeah, I think that might be why I think the recycling center was more of a theory than an actual thing (0:16:05) Codey: is this so this is it i (0:16:12) Codey: yeah I was surprised that this was that they’re adding gacha a gacha mechanic um but yeah (0:16:22) Al: I think it’s cool the way they’ve done it. You can just call it recycling. You put in (0:16:28) Al: rubbish, which you’re not going to do anything else with. Once you’ve crafted five rubbish (0:16:34) Al: chests, that’s the only thing you’re ever going to use it for, you throw it in this machine and you (0:16:39) Al: get other stuff out of it. It’s pointing towards the whole goal of this, which is the environment. (0:16:46) Codey: they did also have the savannah which is there’s a gacha machine in the savannah (0:16:46) Al: So it’s, you know, recycling. They show you getting a seedling, which is cool. I don’t know. (0:16:52) Al: We can turn rubbish into seedling, but I’m not going to complain. (0:17:01) Al: Yes. Yeah, it’s the same one, it’s just in two different places. (0:17:04) Codey: oh okay it’s just another risk like okay got it (0:17:10) Codey: which the savannah thing was wild because it showed (0:17:15) Codey: that there’s like a (0:17:17) Codey: panther that you talk to and you end up racing the panther and you you could win an outfit that (0:17:24) Al: I’m not 100% sure what the deal is with the Savannah, because I’m pretty sure it does (0:17:27) Codey: is the panther (0:17:33) Al: exist in the game currently, but I never ended up unlocking it. Because there were a few (0:17:38) Al: items that I just didn’t get to get to that point. So I know this Panther and the race (0:17:44) Al: with the Panther is a new thing, but I’m pretty sure you could get to the Savannah. (0:17:46) Codey: yeah um I i never was there uh but it but I just it’s wild to me that there is this character (0:17:56) Al: I think it’s the only area I didn’t get… (0:18:02) Codey: and that the outfit that you can win from her is basically her like her skin um because I was (0:18:08) Al: her skin basically right (0:18:13) Codey: Yeah, I don’t know how you would, I don’t know. (0:18:16) Codey: Yeah, it’s, that’s wild. (0:18:19) Codey: She’s really cool though and it’s a cool idea to do like a racing thing, but yeah, that’s that. (0:18:26) Al: They’ve added new looks for sheds so you can change how they look, like the turnip and the (0:18:34) Al: carrot and stuff like that which is pretty cool. I want my carrot shed. I want a carrot shed. (0:18:36) Codey: Mm-hmm well you want a carrot shed I think I want I look (0:18:43) Al: I actually want a pumpkin shed but it’s not on the list but I want a pumpkin shed. Ooh good one. (0:18:47) Codey: I want a potato like that would just that would be goober and I would like that (0:18:54) Al: They’ve also added some new outfits. They’ve added a seller, which is exactly what you (0:19:00) Al: expect it to be. Ages, wine. It does. Why is it so gross in there? That’s weird. There’s (0:19:02) Codey: It looks like the sewer from- it looks like the sewer from Stardew. (0:19:11) Al: a new fruit for increasing HP. There is the- oh yes, the Lumina sprinkler, as it’s called. (0:19:20) Al: So this is for those who aren’t remembering, they are adding. (0:19:24) Al: Underwater farming so you can farm specific plants underwater and instead of watering them, (0:19:31) Al: you light them. So you’ve got like a little stick that lights them daily rather than watering them. (0:19:37) Al: But up till this point, we didn’t know whether there was going to be a sprinkler equivalent. (0:19:39) Al: Thankfully, there is the Lumina sprinkler. So I’m happy about that. (0:19:46) Al: They’ve also added some information on the multiplayer. I mean, it’s kind of just (0:19:51) Al: what you would expect, I think, mostly. It’s kind of… (0:19:54) Codey: Yeah. (0:19:54) Al: Stardew, same style of multiplayer Stardew. (0:19:58) Codey: Yup. (0:19:59) Al: Someone hosts the game and up to three other people can join and you can troll. (0:20:02) Codey: I’m so, I’m so excited to do it and have Mark from Australia spend all of my money. (0:20:10) Codey: ‘Cause the one time I played multiplayer Stardew, I played it with Mark and he spent all my money ‘cause we didn’t realize that the money was tied together. (0:20:16) Al: Wild. And the most exciting thing in this update, I think you’ll agree Cody, is dino suits for your animals. (0:20:17) Codey: It was really funny. (0:20:22) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:20:24) Codey: Which it doesn’t- I love that they call it dino suits because it doesn’t look like you put the animal in a suit. (0:20:30) Codey: Like it’s not a costume. It’s like you’ve like transmogrified them to be something. (0:20:36) Al: Yeah, I think the idea is they’re trying to say that you are putting it in a suit. (0:20:41) Al: But yeah, like, the cow gets smaller in one dimension when you do that. (0:20:47) Al: Like, the cow cannot fit in there unless you’re squishing its head and stretching it out, right? (0:20:53) Codey: Yeah, it is cute (0:20:53) Al: But I don’t care. I think this is cool. I want a T-Rex. I want to turn my ostrich into a T-Rex. (0:21:00) Al: I want to turn my cow into a Brontosaurus. I want this. This is great. But my big question is, (0:21:07) Al: where are they for my dogs? (0:21:10) Codey: I mean they wouldn’t do that because you don’t want a dinosaur in the home and dogs can’t (0:21:15) Al: I do I do I want I want I want my dog in a dino suit (0:21:16) Codey: come out of the home. (0:21:17) Codey: Well, if you want a dinosaur in the home, get the bearded dragon. (0:21:22) Codey: I want the bearded dragon. (0:21:25) Codey: I want the bearded dragon to become like not a dragon, like becomes like something else. (0:21:32) Codey: I don’t even know. (0:21:34) Al: want to put it in a catsuit? Just get a cat then. (0:21:35) Codey: Yes. (0:21:36) Codey: but I want it to be like, I don’t want it to be the like, (0:21:40) Codey: Tom’s a cat. I would want it to be a bearded, like a little bearded dragon head sticking out of a little cat outfit. (0:21:45) Codey: I think that’d be so flipping cute. I might do this to my beard and beardy in real life, actually. (0:21:50) Al: good. (0:21:52) Codey: I’m gonna look up bearded dragon outfits. (0:21:55) Al: Anyway, I’m looking forward to this update. (0:21:58) Codey: Yep, I am also sorry. I’m there are some really cute bearded dragon outfits. (0:22:03) Al: Alright, do we need to pause? Do we need to wait until you’re finished? (0:22:06) Codey: No, this is good content. No, it’s (0:22:10) Codey: we’re fine um yeah I mean I’m still I’ve been wanting to jump back into (0:22:17) Codey: Coral Island so this is just kind of making me want to wait a smidge when is (0:22:24) Codey: this supposed to come out (0:22:24) Al: They haven’t said, it’s currently in beta. I suspect Q3? I say that, that’s like, no. (0:22:30) Codey: okay (0:22:33) Codey: well this is like the beginning of Q3 so (0:22:35) Al: I think probably August, that would be my guess, August. Because I think they said there’s (0:22:42) Al: a second update coming out this year, so I feel like they need to get it out soon. But (0:22:48) Al: I do not want it in July, please and thank you. (0:22:50) Codey: So the answer is I’m gonna have to make my bearded dragon her own cat costume (0:22:56) Codey: because they don’t exist. Just if anyone else has a bearded dragon in (0:22:57) Al: Yeah, are you surprised? I’m not surprised that no bearded dragon cat costume exists. (0:23:06) Codey: I’m pretty surprised you don’t know the bearded dragon community do you cuz I (0:23:09) Al: It seems pretty niche. I mean, why not just get a cat? (0:23:17) Codey: don’t want that I want like it’s like when you put your cat in a little cost (0:23:22) Codey: little dragon costume you don’t want a lizard you just want to embarrass your (0:23:26) Codey: animal (0:23:27) Al: I don’t think they have feelings like that, I don’t think they feel embarrassment because (0:23:33) Al: that’s a social construction. (0:23:38) Codey: Stella acts very embarrassed sometimes. I don’t know about the dragon, but (0:23:43) Codey: we have two new games that we can talk about. (0:23:48) Al: Not that we’re going to have much to talk about the first one. (0:23:50) Al: Real fishing days of summer. (0:23:53) Al: The new real fishing game comes out on October 28th on Switch and PS5 and it is exactly what (0:23:58) Al: you expect. (0:23:59) Al: It’s a new real fishing game. (0:24:02) Al: It looks exactly the same as the previous real fishing game, and there’s fish. (0:24:08) Al: If you love the real fishing games, I’m sure you’ll be excited to play. (0:24:10) Codey: it just makes me want to play I think there’s a fishing game that I’ve been (0:24:15) Codey: wanting to play that’s on Game Pass and I did grow up playing like I think it (0:24:21) Codey: was just like Bass Pro Shop fishing I remember playing that as like a eight (0:24:26) Codey: year old so yeah looks alright (0:24:30) Al: Cool. The other game is called Preserve and the blurb about this is “Preserve is a relaxing (0:24:40) Al: puzzle nature building game in which you flourish a vibrant ecosystem by cleverly placing plants (0:24:47) Al: and animals to create a perfect symbiosis to your liking.” So you’ve got like these hexagonal (0:24:57) Al: tiles that have different biomes and stuff like that. (0:25:00) Al: And it looks like you put them together to make a world that you want. (0:25:04) Al: There’s animals as well. (0:25:06) Codey: - Yep, yeah, I like that it’s a puzzle. (0:25:11) Codey: Like I like the idea of it being a puzzle game (0:25:14) Codey: and like maybe they have like requirements for each puzzle. (0:25:19) Codey: Like build a puzzle that has 10 animals (0:25:22) Codey: from four different biomes or something like that, (0:25:24) Codey: you know, and like to build maybe like one of the animals (0:25:28) Codey: requires like a, I’m just making this up. (0:25:32) Codey: maybe like the wolf requires. (0:25:36) Codey: a forest biome right next to a meadow biome that has a river biome going through it (0:25:40) Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah (0:25:41) Codey: um to like make it a puzzle I think that would be really cool um I i’m never a fan of these (0:25:49) Codey: like island games where like it’s the world is just kind of a floating thing and you just (0:25:55) Codey: kind of build on top of these hexagonal I don’t even know how to describe it but there (0:26:02) Codey: There’s been a lot of games that have been coming out like this. (0:26:06) Codey: I’m not a super big fan of that but also like as an ecologist I look at a game like this and I’m like this would never you’d put the wolves in the forest and they’d be like heck you I’m gonna go over here like you can’t box you can’t box nature that way so but yeah coming on August 8 to steam both Windows Max and Mac and Linux that’s cool what did you think about this game? (0:26:19) Al: Animals don’t do what you want them to, yeah. (0:26:32) Al: It’s probably not something I’d play, but I think it looks cool, and I know some people (0:26:36) Al: love these times for games, so yeah, it’s cool. (0:26:38) Codey: Mm-hmm I wonder how much it’s gonna be click does not have an amount (0:26:49) Al: And speaking of the whole animals not doing what you want, they reintroduced beavers in (0:26:56) Codey: Yeah. (0:26:58) Al: Scotland like maybe 10 years ago or something like that. And now the farmers are like, “Can (0:27:04) Al: we kill them, please?” And you’re like, “Oh, no, you can’t kill them. We put all the effort (0:27:06) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:27:09) Al: into putting them back into the wild. No, you can’t kill them.” (0:27:12) Codey: Yep. That was the classic thing in Oregon. (0:27:16) Codey: Everyone was like, “Bring the wolves back, because we killed all the wolves.” (0:27:18) Codey: But then we had too many deer, and the deer population were getting really gross. (0:27:21) Al: Hmm. (0:27:24) Codey: to bring them back, and then all of the… (0:27:26) Codey: Ag folks that live…the agricultural folks that live on the east side of the state were like (0:27:32) Codey: “We follow the three S’s, the shoot it shovel it and shut up.” (0:27:34) Al: Oh, look, it’s an animal, can we kill it? (0:27:39) Codey: Yeah, and they’re just like, “We want to kill…it’s eating our cows. We’re gonna kill it.” And it’s like… (0:27:45) Al: Can you just stop killing just just just for a minute, right? (0:27:48) Codey: Well, and they also…like a lot of those people, they put their cows on (0:27:53) Codey: Bureau of Land Management land, which is like free land (0:27:57) Codey: for anyone to use, but like if you’re not putting your cows within an enclosure, it’s kind of on you. I’m not gonna lie. (0:28:00) Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I recently learned why beavers dam. Do you know how this works? I don’t know (0:28:04) Codey: Bye. (0:28:10) Al: if this is in your area of interest at all. It’s fascinating, because it’s like, for those (0:28:12) Codey: Oh it is. 100%. Oregon is the bigger state. (0:28:15) Codey: So. (0:28:16) Codey: All right. (0:28:18) Al: who, feel free to correct me if I’ve misunderstood this Cody, but for listeners, basically the (0:28:23) Al: dam, which raises the level of the water, which means that they store water. (0:28:30) Al: And not water, they store food under the water, which allows them there, because the water (0:28:36) Al: is increased, it goes into their house, and then that means that it doesn’t freeze inside (0:28:42) Al: their house, so they can still get into the water, even when the surface of the water (0:28:46) Al: is frozen outside of there, and it preserves their food in the cold water underneath. (0:28:51) Al: Isn’t that really cool? That’s so clever. (0:28:54) Codey: which if they build on like the edge of a lake or something (0:28:58) Codey: is fine. that doesn’t really mess with anything but then when they build in (0:29:03) Codey: a riverine system like in a river or a creek or a (0:29:07) Codey: stream or some small system and they can divert entire (0:29:11) Codey: like watersheds they’re called what’s they’re known as a keystone species (0:29:17) Codey: because if they are in an environment they completely change the structure of (0:29:21) Codey: the environment. (0:29:22) Al: Don’t know anyone else like that. (0:29:25) Codey: uh-uh. (0:29:25) Al: Yeah, it’s just so clever. I love it. (0:29:26) Codey: um… (0:29:28) Codey: usually– (0:29:32) Codey: they’re really mean, though. (0:29:32) Al: Oh yeah, no, I wasn’t planning on doing it. I’ll be honest with you. (0:29:34) Codey: don’t go up to them. (0:29:38) Codey: I haven’t had to mess with one yet, (0:29:40) Codey: but, like, (0:29:42) Codey: I have a feeling Stella would try and go for it (0:29:44) Codey: and I would be really worried about that. (0:29:45) Al: I generally appreciate nature from a distance. That’s my general rule. Now, we don’t have (0:29:52) Al: many things in this country that could kill me, but that’s just my general rule. I enjoy (0:29:58) Al: it over there and I’m over here and we’re all good. (0:30:00) Codey: Yeah. (0:30:03) Codey: Yep. (0:30:07) Al: So that’s the news. (0:30:08) Codey: Whoo! (0:30:12) Al: We are going to talk about Gogotown, our first impressions. So I have purchased the (0:30:18) Al: and I’ve put in maybe 15, 20 hours I think, something like that. (0:30:22) Al: Cody has purchased the game and put zero errors into it. (0:30:22) Codey: didn’t even purchase it… no. uh-uh. I mean it’s still funny to say Cody has not (0:30:26) Al: I thought you said you’d bought it already. Did you not say that to me? That ruins my (0:30:37) Codey: purchased the game and has put none hours into it but I did watch a French (0:30:46) Codey: guy for like five minutes on Twitch so I basically know everything (0:30:50) Codey: about the game. (0:30:50) Al: Hehehe, everything! (0:30:52) Codey: No, it was, I’ve watched the developers play a little bit, but not a ton. (0:31:00) Al: But let me do an intro. I feel an interesting mix between a standard cottagecore farming (0:31:01) Codey: I’m basically coming in naive, so. (0:31:14) Al: game and a management style game where you are controlling a character. You have a character (0:31:20) Al: who you control and you move around and you do your standard things. You do your farming, (0:31:24) Al: you do your wood chopping, you do your mining, you do your fishing. But you’re also… (0:31:30) Al: So, controlling the town, you’re basically in control kind of Animal Crossing-esque. But (0:31:35) Al: in my opinion, in a much nicer way in that you have a build mode where you can just move (0:31:41) Al: things around rather than having to manually go and do them all. Different people like (0:31:44) Al: different things, but I quite like that. Your aim is to build up this town. It basically (0:31:52) Al: doesn’t exist when you get there. You have to build up, you get visitors, you encourage (0:31:56) Al: visitors to stay and you build up your town. (0:32:00) Al: Into a thriving mini Metropolis is a kind of short way of explaining it without going into too much detail at the start. (0:32:11) Al: I guess my first impressions before we go into details of the mechanics would be that I think there’s a really fun and strong core game here, (0:32:25) Al: but it very much feels like an early action. (0:32:30) Al: Well, it feels like that to me, for listeners, I talked about it in the first Ooblets episode. (0:32:30) Codey: - Hmm. (0:32:43) Codey: I have never played Ooblets. (0:32:54) Al: It was like a very strong, very clearly defined game, but very limited. (0:33:00) Al: It feels like the game has a lot of room to expand, and it’s not there yet, but everything (0:33:11) Al: that is there is fun, but the question is, is it enough to be a compelling game in and (0:33:17) Al: of itself just now? (0:33:19) Al: I think it does, but I think if you were to play this just now, you would feel like there’s (0:33:26) Al: quite a lot missing, but you’re not quite sure what that is. (0:33:30) Al: It’s hard, it’s not like in Coral Island where you go, “Oh, and now I’ve reached the end of the (0:33:37) Al: story,” but it’s clearly not the end of the story. It’s not like that. It’s like, (0:33:42) Al: “Okay, this is fun, but I feel like there’s stuff missing. I just don’t know what that is.” (0:33:46) Codey: Yeah, like where where is the missing part and is or is this just where it ends? (0:33:52) Al: Yeah, and it’s definitely not because they’ve had a good detailed list of what they’re wanting (0:33:59) Al: to do and the good thing is that they have taken people’s opinions and they’ve changed (0:34:04) Al: what they’re planning to do, not what they’re planning to do, but the order they’re planning (0:34:07) Al: to do because people’s priorities are different from what theirs were. So they’ve gone, “Oh, (0:34:11) Al: right, OK, you really want this. That’s fine. We’ll bump that up,” the priority list type (0:34:14) Al: thing, which is really good listening to that feedback. (0:34:20) Al: I guess let’s go into some of this… (0:34:22) Al: The specifics and feel free to input into any of these that you actually saw in the game. (0:34:28) Al: So the farming, you start out with just like a few plots, you have to like buy a plot, (0:34:37) Al: you can’t just like you don’t have a hole to do whatever. It’s like everything in this (0:34:42) Al: game, it’s like you have a limited number that you’re allowed to buy until you level (0:34:46) Al: up and then you can buy more. Which I understand why they’ve done it because they want to like (0:34:52) Al: what you can do until you do more and then it feels like you’re expanding that way. (0:34:57) Al: But personally, I’m not a huge fan of that because it feels like oh but I have the money. (0:35:02) Al: My big problem in this game is I have max money and I can’t spend it because there’s (0:35:07) Al: nothing to buy because I’ve already bought everything. But I can’t make any more money (0:35:12) Al: because apparently there’s a max amount of money you can have which feels really weird. (0:35:20) Codey: I mean your your purse is only so big. Can you upgrade it? (0:35:20) Al: But yeah it just feels like the balance isn’t right there. (0:35:22) Al: I haven’t seen anything to be able to do that. Now having said that, I haven’t gone through all (0:35:33) Al: of the upgrades. I think I’m maybe like level five of the the the tech tree, but I’m not sure. (0:35:40) Codey: Okay what’s your how much do you have for monies okay that’s what the (0:35:42) Al: I haven’t seen anything that upgrades that. I think it’s a thousand. (0:35:50) Codey: developers are also they also have on their stream that they’re streaming (0:35:52) Al: Right, okay. I think it is, yeah. And I don’t know whether that’s something they’re planning (0:35:53) Codey: right now so that’s probably (0:35:57) Al: on adding upgrades to or what. It feels like a weird, like I’ve never played a game where (0:36:02) Al: they limit the max amount of money you’re able to have. That feels like a weird and arbitrary (0:36:08) Al: restriction. And I’m not sure why it would be there other than because they don’t trust their (0:36:13) Al: own economy in the game. It’s not difficulty though, right? Like, especially if there’s nothing (0:36:14) Codey: Hmm, it adds a level of difficulty. (0:36:22) Al: money on, because then you just get to the point where you’re like, okay, now I’ve unlocked (0:36:26) Al: something and I can immediately buy everything. And then I just, and then once I’ve bought things, (0:36:31) Al: I can then earn money again. Like I’ve never got to the point where I’ve not had enough money for (0:36:36) Al: that. And money’s pretty easy to make because you just, you just wait. Like literally, if you just (0:36:44) Al: had this game running without you doing anything, especially once you’ve unlocked a bunch of the (0:36:48) Al: stuff and you’ve got it implemented the game basically runs itself so you could just start (0:36:50) Codey: I think that’s what it is. I think that’s what I think of it being more (0:36:52) Al: there and you would gain money doing nothing (0:36:58) Codey: difficulty is because you can’t just do that because at a certain point like if (0:37:03) Codey: you left the game and went into another room or like went and did something else (0:37:07) Codey: and you came back maybe like an hour into that it was at max money so there (0:37:13) Codey: was no point in like letting the game run all of that time you would have had (0:37:19) Codey: to check in on it. (0:37:20) Codey: And fix it somehow, you know. (0:37:22) Al: Yeah, but then my problem is there’s nothing to spend the money on. There’s literally nothing (0:37:27) Al: I can spend the money on. Because they limit how much you can do. There is an import/export thing (0:37:35) Al: that I probably don’t need to go into too much detail of, but basically you can sell things (0:37:41) Al: to other towns. It’s not actual multiplayer, don’t get me wrong. It’s just you’re selling (0:37:46) Al: stuff to someone else. It doesn’t matter. Someone requests it and you sell it. You don’t get money, (0:37:52) Al: tokens. Then you can use that to buy more stuff. But I think that’s also limited. (0:37:58) Al: I bought another storage thing and then that was it. It was sold out. It just feels like (0:38:07) Al: everything is limited. There’s nothing that isn’t limited in the game. (0:38:13) Al: And I think that would be my second biggest frustration. I really like this game. I think (0:38:19) Al: I think it’s really fun to play, it’s really fluid. (0:38:22) Al: The movement is fun especially when you get some of the vehicles, like there’s a skateboard (0:38:28) Al: and there’s a bike and there’s a car, a go-kart and stuff like that. They’re all really fun (0:38:35) Al: to play and I can just, I find myself just riding around on them. (0:38:44) Al: The game is just fun to play but there’s a few things and one of them is the fact that (0:38:49) Al: it’s so limited in what you can buy. (0:38:51) Al: And that I… (0:38:52) Al: It adds into the frustration when you basically don’t have an inventory and you have a bag (0:39:03) Al: but it’s like you can only fit in certain amounts. (0:39:07) Al: It’s one of these things where it’s like different things are different sizes. (0:39:11) Al: So if you had a steel girder in your bag, you could only have two of them because they’re (0:39:14) Codey: - Mm-hmm, yeah. (0:39:16) Al: so big. (0:39:17) Al: If you had rocks, you could have 10 of them sort of thing, which okay, sure, fine. (0:39:23) Al: You can use to get around that, like you have a van you can drive that you can fill up and (0:39:26) Al: it has more… (0:39:27) Al: But then you have to put things places and there are storage boxes, but the storage boxes (0:39:34) Al: do the same thing as your bag and they are very limited. (0:39:38) Al: So I’m at the point where I have people mining and their boxes are all full, but I need them (0:39:45) Al: to get something different. (0:39:46) Al: So I have to get the stuff out the box so they get something different because I’ve (0:39:49) Al: used up all of my iron and they’ve just (0:39:52) Al: been filling it with stone because I keep using the iron for things because there’s (0:39:56) Al: nothing to use stone on anymore because I’ve done everything and the more complex ones (0:40:01) Al: need iron instead of stone so they just keep adding stone and I can’t use the stone for (0:40:06) Al: anything so I have boxes and boxes full of stone that I don’t know what to do with and (0:40:12) Al: I can’t buy more boxes so all of my boxes are full of stone and I can’t get any more (0:40:17) Al: boxes and I just I want to know what to do with the stone. (0:40:22) Al: And also I just want more boxes like the inventory thing is the thing that I understand that (0:40:32) Al: some people might like it but I think I actively don’t like it like I just I just want a universal (0:40:40) Al: storage thing or at least like a box that doesn’t have a limit to it right like I think (0:40:45) Al: I see where they’re going with the like it’s trying to be a very physical game right like (0:40:52) Al: this thing and then you put it in a box or you mine something and then you take it to (0:40:55) Al: the place that it’s needed and then I’m going to talk about the the hiring of people like (0:41:02) Al: you can you can use the people that you you convinced to move there you can use them to (0:41:07) Al: do to to do jobs that you you do at the beginning so it allows you to have that automation which (0:41:14) Al: is fun and then you assign them to specific jobs so you say this is my miner and this (0:41:19) Al: This is my tree cutter. (0:41:20) Al: This is my fisher. (0:41:21) Al: This is my farmer. (0:41:22) Al: They will put things in the boxes that you put near them and then you have to move them (0:41:27) Al: between them but then you can get someone who is a courier so their job is just to take (0:41:31) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:41:32) Al: things from the places that they are to the places that they need. (0:41:36) Al: I get that and that’s all fun. (0:41:39) Al: I mean it when I say that, I think that is actually fun because it’s very physical and (0:41:44) Al: it’s very material and that’s good but because the boxes do the same thing, I just have boxes (0:41:53) Al: of stone everywhere that I can’t do anything with and it’s filling up storage that I could (0:41:58) Al: be using for other things. (0:42:00) Codey: yeah it’s giving factorial vibes you need to make it more efficient so i’m reading the (0:42:08) Codey: developer update that came out like a week ago and they’ve uh I don’t know if it has a roadmap (0:42:10) Al: Is this the road map one? (0:42:16) Al: It’s not a road map so much as like, here are the things we’re going to focus on, sort (0:42:20) Al: of thing. (0:42:20) Codey: yeah so they talk about like minor update one like the things that they’re (0:42:23) Al: Yes. (0:42:24) Codey: so one of them says one of them says too much stuff the overflow chronicles and (0:42:30) Codey: it talks about the fact that you have too many items but you don’t have anything to do with them (0:42:34) Al: Oh nice! (0:42:36) Codey: so you can dispose of the items in a machine that will become available to you through the tech tier (0:42:41) Al: Oh and you receive import tickets, nice! Okay cool, cool! (0:42:44) Codey: and then further down they also say like we have broken down the ai worker feedback into (0:42:49) Codey: the following issues so one of them is the ai over producing resources their backpacks filling up (0:42:54) Codey: storage bins being placed outside of zones that’s not really that important (0:42:58) Al: Yeah, I think those are mostly bugs rather than the actual fundamental issue and the (0:43:04) Al: fundamental issue is I have too much stuff, which they’re obviously trying to figure out (0:43:09) Al: some ways to deal with that. Yeah, I can see that that would certainly improve it. I would (0:43:10) Codey: Yeah. (0:43:10) Codey: Mmhmm. (0:43:17) Al: also just be able to buy unlimited storage. I understand why they’re limiting a lot of (0:43:21) Al: things and I’m not saying don’t have any limits on things, but storage specifically. (0:43:22) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:43:28) Codey: Really? Yeah. (0:43:28) Al: Like, that seems like such a weird thing to limit. Like, if I want to have 100 boxes (0:43:35) Al: of stone, why not? You know, like, sure, limit the things that you can, like, limit the buildings (0:43:43) Al: so you can only have certain numbers of people living there. Limit the attractions you have (0:43:47) Al: so you can’t just, like, get infinite money in a day sort of thing. You know, that all (0:43:52) Al: makes sense. But storage, of all things. Give me more storage, please. (0:43:56) Codey: - Yeah. (0:43:58) Al: Yeah, it’s interesting, because I generally don’t like management games and this is very (0:43:58) Codey: - Management games, woo! (0:44:06) Al: much more of a management game than I thought it was going to be. But I do find it fun. (0:44:15) Al: I don’t think it’s something that I’m going to put, like, hundreds of hours into, like (0:44:19) Al: I have done with Stardew and Coral Island. But it’s fun being different. (0:44:25) Codey: Mm-hmm. Honestly, the fact that it’s more of a management game, uh, it has endeared me to it more. (0:44:32) Codey: No. Um, yeah. So I think, because I think that that, like making things more efficient and like (0:44:39) Codey: hiring people and having them work in different areas and like having, like being like this person (0:44:44) Codey: gets to work as a courier and like this zone, because it looks like you zone things, right? (0:44:48) Al: So, the zones are there by default. So, you have, like, the map has - this is the mining (0:44:55) Al: zone, it is where the caves are. This is the forestry zone. That’s the word I keep trying (0:45:01) Al: to think of - forestry zone. And that’s where the forest is, obviously. This is the fishing (0:45:05) Al: zone, that’s where the river is. And then there’s the farming zone, which, I mean, that (0:45:11) Al: could probably be anywhere. But it is a fixed - these are fixed zones. And you put certain (0:45:15) Al: things within them to do that so you have like (0:45:18) Al: a time clock so you put a time clock in the zone and then you you go to the time clock and you say I want this person to do this job and then they will use anything that’s in that zone so you put things in the zone to allow them to use it so you put storage in and they will use that to put things in you put in machines and they will use the machines to make different things etc etc so I think one of the other complaints that people had in general which I think I agree is something (0:45:48) Al: they need to improve but I wasn’t like oh I can’t believe they haven’t got it or they need to have it right now is like more space because it does fill up quite quickly and they’ve definitely said that they’re going to be doing that they’re going to be adding expansions to the map which is good but yeah I think that is not the thing that I was like I need this right now probably because I hadn’t got to the end of the tech tree yet (0:45:58) Codey: Mm-hmm (0:46:02) Codey: Expanding yeah, yep (0:46:12) Codey: so okay so there are these different tasks that you can allot to people can (0:46:19) Codey: you also do the tasks like yourself okay (0:46:21) Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you start out by doing it yourself, right? You have (0:46:24) Codey: okay (0:46:26) Al: to upgrade the tech tree to get the time clocks. So like after you’ve done like the first full (0:46:29) Codey: got it (0:46:32) Al: tech tree, then you get a second line of the tech tree and it goes like, here is the forestry (0:46:39) Al: expansion. And that gives you a machine to make log, not logs, planks. And it gives you (0:46:49) Al: a time clock for the forestry area and it gives you (0:46:51) Al: another storage thing and it gives you another chainsaw, which by the way, the chainsaw (0:46:57) Al: for cutting down trees is so much fun. I don’t know why more games don’t have that. It’s great. (0:47:02) Al: Then you also have the mining expansion, which gives you the mining time clock, et cetera, (0:47:07) Al: et cetera. So yeah, you unlock them as you go. So you have to do everything to start with (0:47:12) Al: and as you go, you get the ability to automate it with workers using the time clocks. But then you (0:47:18) Al: you can also just do them if you want. (0:47:20) Al: Yeah, you can just go. (0:47:21) Al: Oh, this worker’s being too slow, or I want this specific thing. (0:47:24) Al: I’m going to go do that just now. (0:47:26) Al: And that’s– yeah, that’s totally fine. (0:47:29) Al: I didn’t find myself finding I needed to do that, though. (0:47:31) Al: The AIs, I think, were pretty good. (0:47:34) Al: Yeah, like, the only time I felt like I needed to do something (0:47:38) Al: because the workers weren’t doing it (0:47:39) Al: is because all their storage was full, (0:47:41) Al: so they couldn’t do anything, you know? (0:47:42) Codey: - Yeah. (0:47:44) Al: Like, they couldn’t make more steel beams (0:47:47) Al: because there was nowhere to put them. (0:47:49) Al: Fair enough, I understand that. (0:47:51) Al: Sorry, there’s nothing I can do with that. (0:47:51) Codey: The supply chain must grow, yeah. (0:47:53) Al: Yeah, exactly, exactly. (0:47:54) Codey: I mean, it’s early access, so it’s awesome, yeah. (0:47:57) Al: Oh, absolutely, absolutely. (0:47:59) Al: I guess my point is more like if these things (0:48:01) Al: sound like they would be frustrating to you, (0:48:03) Al: wait for 1.0, like there’s nothing wrong with that. (0:48:05) Al: And I think it is a really fun game. (0:48:10) Al: I’m really enjoying it. (0:48:12) Al: But I do think I’m probably at the point where I’m like, (0:48:15) Al: okay, now I wait for 1.0 before I play more. (0:48:19) Al: because I feel like (0:48:21) Al: I can see how it’s going to be improving and I want that. I want the improved version. (0:48:28) Al: I don’t regret the time I put into it. It has been fun doing what I’ve been doing. (0:48:34) Al: I’m done 15, 20 hours is probably enough in early access. Maybe I’ll play a different point (0:48:41) Al: depending on what the update. Obviously, I’ll be keeping an eye on the updates and (0:48:44) Al: we’ll be talking about them here because I always do. The games that I’m more excited (0:48:46) Codey: Mm-hmm (0:48:48) Al: the boat we talk about more often. (0:48:49) Codey: Mm-hmm (0:48:51) Al: But I’ll definitely I’ll definitely get back into it when it hits 1.0. (0:48:56) Codey: I mean, we definitely talked about that during the halfway through the games episode as well where like what games are we looking forward to the most and a lot of the games were just the 1.0 versions of games that we had already played and it’s it’s I mean, that’s the thing is that you can play them in either early access or whatever

(0:00:35) Codey: My name is Codey, and we are here today to talk about Cottagecore games. (0:00:36) Aislinn: And my name is Aislinn. (0:00:41) Aislinn: Whoo! (0:00:42) Codey: Whoo! (0:00:43) Codey: Cute! (0:00:43) Aislinn: Cute! (0:00:44) Codey: We did it! (0:00:47) Aislinn: Yay! (0:00:48) Codey: So as always, transcripts are available in the show notes and on the website. (0:00:54) Codey: Today’s topic we are talking about Botany Manor, which is a super cute little game. (0:00:59) Aislinn: Mm-hmm (0:00:59) Codey: a game that Aislinn has played. (0:01:01) Codey: So that’s what we’re going to talk about for our main topic. (0:01:03) Aislinn: Mm-hmm (0:01:13) Codey: We also have a lot of news. (0:01:17) Codey: But before that, Aislinn, who are you? (0:01:20) Aislinn: Hi, I’m Aislinn. I am here and I’m happy to be here. I guess things that I do to go into that, (0:01:30) Aislinn: I stream on Twitch, Ace Trainer, AIS, not Ace, like AIS Trainer, and also me and my fiance, we have a podcast called Moo & Coo, where we just talk about literally anything and everything. (0:01:30) Codey: Yep. (0:01:31) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:01:33) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:01:50) Codey: Why is it moo and coo? (0:01:52) Aislinn: Because he– so he really likes cows. (0:01:54) Aislinn: He’s a big cow guy. (0:01:57) Aislinn: So I was just like– (0:01:57) Aislinn: we joked around trying to think about a name for our podcast. (0:02:01) Aislinn: So we knew he wanted to do a podcast for a while. (0:02:03) Aislinn: And I was like, well, obviously, you’re like the moo-er. (0:02:07) Aislinn: You moo. (0:02:07) Aislinn: And I was like, what rhymes with moo? (0:02:08) Codey: That makes a lot of sense as to why you put the Pigeon filter on your Snapchat all the time. (0:02:10) Aislinn: Coo. (0:02:11) Aislinn: And I like pigeons. (0:02:12) Aislinn: So I’m like, now I’m coo. (0:02:20) Aislinn: Oh, actually, I actually love that pre-moo and coo. (0:02:21) Codey: Oh, wow. (0:02:23) Aislinn: I’ve always loved that pigeon. (0:02:25) Aislinn: And I mean, I’m a New Yorker. (0:02:26) Codey: Okay. (0:02:26) Aislinn: So me and pigeons were like homies, you know? (0:02:27) Codey: Mm-hmm, big, big, big facts. (0:02:33) Codey: Um, yeah, so I guess like how I know Aislinn is (0:02:38) Codey: through It’s Super Effective, Surprise Surprise, that’s how we know the majority of our people. (0:02:42) Aislinn: Yep! (0:02:46) Aislinn: We love it. We stan. (0:02:47) Codey: Um, we stand. I think, was it like, I think I like joked in, for Pokemon Go Fest last year, (0:02:54) Codey: I joked something about how we should get cardboard cutouts and then you were like “bet.” (0:02:58) Aislinn: - Yep, yep. (0:02:59) Aislinn: Once I, like, when a challenge that’s like relatively accessible is put in front of me, (0:03:03) Aislinn: I’m just like, yeah, let’s do it. (0:03:06) Aislinn: Why not, right? (0:03:07) Aislinn: Why say no, we can do it? (0:03:08) Codey: We did. So Aislinn, uh, ‘cause, uh, Steve and Greg, so two of the hosts of It’s Super Effective, (0:03:08) Aislinn: And we pulled it off and it was wonderful. (0:03:17) Codey: were unable to come to Pokemon Go Fest New York City last year, but a bunch of us did come, (0:03:22) Codey: and we, Aislinn printed out these cardboard cutouts of both of them, and then we were literally carrying them around all day, and like we had everyone sign them, so like everyone that it is fans of the pod. (0:03:31) Aislinn: - Oh gosh. (0:03:38) Codey: You know, friends of Greg and Steve, like we all signed the back of them and then you sent them to them, right? (0:03:43) Aislinn: Yeah, they I don’t I actually I have to still ask Steve and Greg like what happened with them cuz I sent them and I have no idea what happened after that I (0:03:50) Codey: someone in the mail is just like, “what the heck?” (0:03:56) Aislinn: Mean when I got it I was like what the heck it’s so tall and (0:04:00) Aislinn: Then having in my home was a whole different story. I’m just like this is not okay [laughing] (0:04:04) Codey: This is really weird. Yeah, for sure. (0:04:06) Codey: But that was, it was just so much fun to, because you’re a, you know, a New Yorker, and so you’re in that area. (0:04:12) Codey: It was just so much fun to like get to hang out with you, and you like let us around. (0:04:16) Aislinn: Yeah, oh my gosh, yes we are, yay, I’m so excited about that, don’t have to worry about carrying that across the freaking bridge, in the wind. (0:04:16) Codey: around. You showed us that really cool Korean barbecue place. (0:04:20) Codey: Um, so good. And we’re doing it again this year. Yeah. Except this time, we don’t have to cut them out and cardboard. They’re gonna be there. Yeah. (0:04:36) Codey: That was (0:04:39) Codey: yeah, it shout out to tone and oh my gosh, who was the other person that was carrying them? Vincent tone and Vincent for carrying them, like once the groups met up. (0:04:44) Aislinn: Vincent? (laughs) (0:04:46) Aislinn: Yeah. (laughs) (0:04:50) Codey: So that Aislinn didn’t have to carry them anymore because yeah they were they were blowing everywhere. (0:04:52) Aislinn: I was so tired. (laughs) (0:04:58) Codey: Oh my gosh so yeah that’s how we know each other and we just you know talk on snapchat and every day and didn’t share funny stories and stuff and so when I found out we were both playing botany manner I was like oh my gosh we need to talk about it. (0:05:04) Aislinn: - Yes! (0:05:11) Aislinn: perfect wow 251 streak on snapchat let’s go yeah I’m gonna go [laughing] (0:05:17) Codey: Oh we do? Oh my gosh, proud of us! (0:05:20) Codey: Look at us! That’s just about Pokemon Go Fest, isn’t it? (0:05:25) Aislinn: Just about. (0:05:27) Codey: Oh my gosh. (0:05:28) Codey: Okay, well, so that’s who you are and how we know you. (0:05:31) Codey: But what have you been up to? Like what in your life, like recently, what have you been playing? (0:05:36) Codey: Have you been doing anything super fun? (0:05:39) Aislinn: As of recently, I have been playing a lot more indie games. (0:05:44) Aislinn: I mean I’m still doing like, first stream, I’m still doing a Pokémon Crystal playthrough, (0:05:49) Aislinn: but like I’ve been playing a lot of indie games ever since PAX because I had the opportunity to meet some developers of some games at different companies and whatnot, and it’s been such a wonderful pleasure. (0:06:01) Aislinn: So that’s how I like got the opportunity to play Botany Manor, and I played like a little while ago unpacking and (0:06:09) Aislinn: another game that I’m excited about is Kamayaru, so like all these games that I never really played before, I’m now finally starting to play beyond just Pokemon. And even on the side too, I’m playing Spiderman, which is not anything indie, cozy, anything of that sort. (0:06:27) Aislinn: But it’s been fun to have the balance of the chaos and the cozy indie vibes as well. So it’s primarily what I’ve been up to is just kind of playing. And I think I’ve been playing (0:06:39) Aislinn: more like cozy indie games, also just to be less stressed because work life in general is a lot of stress recently. (0:06:48) Codey: yeah it do me that way um so you need that cozy cozy in your life (0:06:49) Aislinn: Exactly, but what about you? (0:06:58) Codey: well i’m right there with you I need that cozy cozy so I am playing so I most days um every day I play both my um coloring app so I have a cross stitch world is this like app that my grandma got me into years ago and then I deleted it on my app my phone because I was like this is taking way way too much in my life. (0:07:18) Codey: But now I’m using it again, but this time, like as a vehicle to help me overcome ADHD, like in social situations and like keeping me, keeping the part of my brain that wanders, like distracted so that I can focus on what’s going on in front of me. (0:07:24) Aislinn: Hmm. Yeah. (0:07:34) Codey: Um, so I play that every day. (0:07:37) Codey: And then I also have been playing Disney Dreamlight Valley every day. (0:07:40) Codey: I’ve been trying, I finished the main game and now I’m trying to like finish all the questlines for all of the characters and (0:07:48) Codey: level up all the characters to level 10 and then (0:07:52) Codey: Like just kind of have everything. I’m I also started thinking about (0:07:58) Codey: creating rooms in my house for each of the characters like having it having there be like a little mermaid room and (0:08:04) Aislinn: That’s so cute! (0:08:05) Codey: and a You know Beauty and the Beast room because you can buy like all of this furniture and stuff that is from those (0:08:11) Codey: realms I think is what this or those products and so (0:08:16) Codey: I was thinking about (0:08:18) Codey: where I just go into an empty room and just like filter all of my (0:08:23) Codey: Furniture to be like just the little room made furniture and then just put it all in that room and like (0:08:28) Codey: Make it work like make it an aesthetic room (0:08:32) Codey: Haven’t started doing that yet. Don’t know if that’s gonna continue but (0:08:37) Codey: Super fun and then always and forever working on my Fox my Minecraft Fox (0:08:43) Codey: Building up my little my little man (0:08:48) Codey: That’s playing with me. It has built like a really cool mountain on the back of it (0:08:53) Codey: The majority of my life right now is field work though, and actually today right after we record I’m gonna go grab a bunch of the traps that I put out a week ago and see what I caught. Oh (0:09:03) Aislinn: Mm hmm. I’m so excited. Can I can I get a Snapchat insight later? (0:09:08) Codey: You’re you’re going to (0:09:08) Aislinn: Because I just I am so fascinated with what you do.

(0:15:04) Aislinn: There’s a lot of good stuff on sale right now. Looks really cool. (0:15:11) Codey: Next up, A New Leaf Memories. (0:15:14) Codey: Uh, I don’t know if you’ve ever talked about- (0:15:17) Codey: I don’t- I don’t like that name. (0:15:19) Aislinn: You just don’t like it? (0:15:21) Codey: I don’t like it. Because I- (0:15:24) Aislinn: What did it do to you? (0:15:26) Codey: So I bought a new leaf and I was like gasp “New Animal Crossing game?” (0:15:31) Codey: It’s not- it’s not a new Animal Crossing game, you guys. (0:15:31) Aislinn: You know, that’s fair. (0:15:34) Codey: Um, so the early access for a new leaf memories is out now. (0:15:37) Codey: Quote, uh, the gameplay features, quote, (0:15:40) Codey: “Enjoy a range of exciting gameplay mechanics and features like building up a farm with 29 different crops, (0:15:46) Codey: bring 27 types of animals, choose from 21 pets to adopt, craft new furniture to put in your home, catch 4 types of fish.” (0:15:51) Codey: What? Why only 4? (0:15:52) Aislinn: Four. Why only four? (0:15:54) Codey: Cook- Cook 25 recipes! (0:15:57) Codey: “Mine, explore 8 main areas, and even drive around in a cute little vehicle, or take a ride in a floating bus. (0:16:02) Codey: While early access marks a major step forward, it’s important to note that our development journey is far from over.” (0:16:07) Codey: So, this is basically them, like, opening up to try and start pro- like, (0:16:11) Codey: like, ironing out the kinks of their bugs, of any bugs that you might encounter. (0:16:16) Codey: Um, why only four? (0:16:18) Aislinn: I don’t know. But hey, they’ve got 27 types of animals and 21 pets. So if you do the math, (0:16:25) Aislinn: I’m not doing the math. I’m not good at math. You’ve got more pets and animals than fish. (0:16:31) Codey: Also, the pets, so this is my issue, Coral Island burned me because you can only have one pet. (0:16:31) Aislinn: Take that as you will. Thank you. (0:16:42) Codey: So in Coral Island, you can only have one. (0:16:45) Codey: I got the one dog that looks like my dog because I was like, “Oh my gosh, I need to have my dog in the game.” (0:16:51) Codey: But then there was also a bearded dragon, and I went back to go get the bearded dragon and you can only have one pet. (0:16:55) Aislinn: What the heck oh (0:16:56) Codey: And I was like, “What the heck?” (0:16:58) Codey: ‘Cause I also have a beard dragon in my life. (0:17:00) Aislinn: Wait you do oh my gosh, I love (0:17:01) Codey: I do. I’ll send you a snap. (0:17:05) Codey: And listeners, I’ll post a picture of her in Discord or Slack. (0:17:11) Codey: So yeah, if you, I mean, if you’ve looked at a new leaf memories, (0:17:15) Codey: and you’ve been interested in it before Early Access is now available, (0:17:20) Codey: and you can check it out. (0:17:23) Codey: Spirit of the Island. (0:17:25) Codey: The pages for this game are now up on the Play Store and the Apple App Store. (0:17:31) Codey: It is $4.99, and it does support Crossplay. (0:17:36) Codey: And I did open this in the App Store so I could read it. (0:17:39) Codey: Oh, of course the App Store was like, “Oh, you want me to refresh? (0:17:44) Codey: I will refresh for you.” (0:17:46) Codey: Also, X is, gosh, what is it called? (0:17:52) Codey: When they promote it, it’s promoted up at the top of the App Store. (0:17:59) Codey: And I’m like, “No, get out of here.” (0:18:01) Codey: Okay. Spirit of the Island. It’s expected. (0:18:06) Codey: Oh, I love how it says coming soon. Expected, July 16th, 2024. (0:18:10) Aislinn: Oh, no, not the expected. (0:18:12) Codey: The word expected is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Okay. (0:18:13) Aislinn: Awwww. (0:18:16) Aislinn: Awwww. (0:18:17) Aislinn: I mean, I get it. It’s tough. (0:18:19) Codey: Okay, do be that way. (0:18:21) Codey: Quote, “There’s an old tradition running in your homeland. (0:18:24) Codey: To become an adult and complete the coming-of-age ritual, (0:18:26) Codey: you must go on a journey of discovery. (0:18:28) Codey: begins on a distant land, deep in a tropical archipelago. (0:18:31) Codey: what was once a prosperous tourist destination is now a shade of its former glory and it’s your job to bring it back to life. (0:18:37) Codey: explore the archipelago, meet the locals, and lend them a hand to restore the tourist paradise while you try to uncover the mysteries of your past. (0:18:44) Aislinn: But what if I don’t wanna become an adult? (0:18:46) Codey: also like… no no I mean fair like fair but also like this tourist village is just dying and… (0:18:50) Aislinn: Sorry, I’m just being silly. (0:19:00) Aislinn: That’s that’s everyone’s path to adulthood. You all have your own small village that was a tourist destination that now you have to make it a tourist destination again. Everyone has their own journey. (0:19:02) Codey: a child just like shows up and single-handedly saves the village? excuse me? (0:19:18) Codey: I… today I learned I’m still a child. (0:19:23) Aislinn: Me too. I have done nothing to contribute to- (0:19:25) Codey: I have saved no one. I have done nothing. (0:19:30) Aislinn: society therefore I am child. (0:19:33) Codey: I am child. I have not single-handedly changed anything. (0:19:38) Codey: Okay, well that’s Spirit of the Island coming, um, releasing on the 16th of July, uh, as a mobile game. Uh, I might, I might play it. It’s only five bucks. (0:19:47) Aislinn: It looks cute as a mobile game. I will say like I actually like I like the aesthetics of it for a mobile game (0:19:50) Codey: Mm-hm, yeah, maybe by July I will be sick of cross stitch world, I have doubts. (0:20:01) Codey: Lens Island has their questing and camera orbiting update out now. (0:20:09) Codey: So this basically adds some questing features like some short, (0:20:13) Codey: some small quests of like starting out and doing things. (0:20:17) Codey: Previously, I just kind of like dropped– (0:20:18) Codey: you in the world and you figured stuff out which is chill but also I like completing quests and getting like a little gold star whenever I finish the smallest of tasks. I’m not gonna complain. Also the camera orbiting is kind of cool so like you can just 100% 360 like orbit around your person now. I guess not 360 but like you can orbit around your person now and like that’s cool. Mm-hmm and then in– (0:20:40) Aislinn: Yeah, that those those seem like nice quality of life updates for sure (0:20:49) Codey: in the update Julian, one of the developers or the developer of Lens Island said– I just loved this– “We have been very hard at work to get this out. (0:20:59) Codey: This is the first of several big updates in the pipeline over the next few months. (0:21:02) Codey: We are releasing this at 3 a.m. Australian time so I’ll probably pass out after writing this POS. Just kidding but I am very tired and we will need some rest before tackling the first patch. So just keep that in the mind of the next or two, don’t forget this update was crafted from all (0:21:18) Codey: of your feedback and we can continue to balance and alter the camera and questing if needed. I’d also love to get some more ideas on quests too. I just love how like this game is so like community the community is really helping to like develop it and not like develop ideas and be like, Oh, (0:21:34) Aislinn: Yeah. (0:21:36) Codey: but what about this? What about this? And like, even when they do give this update, these updates, like the questing and camera updates, he’s like, I still want more. Like if you still have more stuff, like let me know. (0:21:46) Aislinn: Yeah, that’s awesome. That’s really really cool to have a developer so involved with the community itself. (0:21:54) Aislinn: I have not, but especially knowing that the developer is interested, that is really cool to see, (0:22:00) Aislinn: and the game itself looking at the visuals is really nice. (0:22:02) Codey: Yeah, so we heard about it on the pod forever ago and then I started playing it. (0:22:11) Codey: This is my weekly “oh, I want to jump back into Len’s Island” because yeah, here it is. (0:22:17) Codey: I want to jump back into Len’s Island, you guys. (0:22:20) Aislinn: It looks really good. (0:22:21) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:22:22) Codey: It is. (0:22:22) Aislinn: It looks really, really good. (0:22:23) Codey: It is. (0:22:24) Codey: Okay, so next up is Snacko. (0:22:30) Codey: favorite little cute (0:22:32) Codey: cato. The 0.9.3 tool upgrade update is out now. So this update allows you to use a new crafting station called the jewelry station or jewelry table. I can’t remember. But you use that table and add gems to your tools. And the gems do different things. So like if you add, you know, a diamond or something, it’ll boost your your pickaxe in a different way than adding like a ruby would. And there’s eight different gems. And that’s just like, I love that. I love when a game allows you it’s not just like, oh, get the magical upgrade that does the thing like it actually kind of like takes your feedback and you’re like, I want more range on it or like, oh, I’m already pretty good at getting the, you know, the fish line out there. I don’t need that, but I want it to be more stable, you know, something like that. Like, I think that’s cool. And maybe eventually you’ll be able to add different facets so that you can just have a completely gem studded fishing pole that just has all the buffs on it. Very cute. (0:23:34) Aislinn: - Mm-hmm. (0:23:52) Aislinn: Yeah, very cute game. I remember I saw this game at PAX and I wanted to play the demo, but I got stuck at, um, ‘cause at the same booth, I got stuck at Kamayaru for so long that I had to walk away in general. (0:24:03) Codey: Mmm-hmm. (0:24:08) Aislinn: But hey, it’s on sale right now. I might just grab it anyways ‘cause… Cute cat. And cozy game. And it looks genuinely really good. (0:24:10) Codey: Mmm-hmm. (0:24:12) Codey: Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm. (0:24:15) Codey: Mmm-hmm. (0:24:16) Aislinn: I do wanna play- Is there a demo for it? (0:24:19) Codey: Mmm-hmm. There is. (0:24:20) Aislinn: Okay, so I do wanna do that at least. (0:24:22) Codey: And I believe that we had a pod episode on it with the developer, so if you want to go back and listen to that. (0:24:28) Aislinn: I absolutely will, actually. (0:24:30) Codey: Um, if not… (0:24:34) Codey: Sun Haven! (0:24:41) Codey: Sun Haven! (0:24:42) Codey: So, uh, 1.4 patch update is coming out soon for Sun Haven. (0:24:46) Codey: It’s currently in beta, and the 1.4 update is currently in beta, (0:24:50) Codey: but it will come to full version when it’s stable on the public beta environment or PDE. (0:24:57) Codey: So this is the biggest update ever. (0:24:59) Codey: This gives so many so much content and so many bug fixes and stuff. (0:25:03) Codey: There’s a new area to explore called the Brine Stone Deeps. (0:25:20) Codey: You can now have kids as well. (0:25:22) Codey: There’s something called the Black Market. (0:25:22) Aislinn: Oh. Oh? (0:25:25) Codey: Two new romanceables. (0:25:28) Codey: And there’s other stuff too. (0:25:31) Codey: There’s other things as well. (0:25:33) Codey: There’s just so much that they’ve added in this update, and so if you’ve played Sunhaven and you ran out of stuff to do, baby get back in there, because dang. (0:25:46) Aislinn: And if you haven’t, it’s on sale. (0:25:46) Codey: There is. (0:25:48) Codey: Yeah, it is also… wouldn’t you know it? It’s 30% off. (0:25:58) Codey: Um, so yeah, I have not played this and… (0:26:03) Codey: I have other stuff to do. (0:26:05) Codey: But, um, oh, and Al also, um, laments. (0:26:09) Codey: “Is the Switch version ever coming?” (0:26:10) Aislinn: That is a big mood, that is a big, big mood. (0:26:13) Codey: That is a mood. (0:26:16) Codey: Okay, I am super excited about this next one. (0:26:19) Codey: Disney Dreamlight Valley. I’ve been playing this thing every single day. (0:26:22) Codey: And every single day, I’m like, oh no, I am reaching the end. (0:26:25) Codey: I am reaching the point where I’m not gonna have any more content to do. (0:26:28) Codey: What am I gonna do with my life when I can’t play DDV every single day? (0:26:33) Codey: All my favorites, and make a gross noise whenever my non-favorites, uh, walk by me. (0:26:41) Codey: Um, you best believe they have a new update coming out, a free update, (0:26:45) Codey: as well as they’ve explained some of the things that are happening in the second part of A Rift in Time. (0:26:51) Codey: So, they released a new developer update, uh, video. (0:26:55) Codey: Let me pause here. Have you, have you played this? (0:26:58) Aislinn: No, actually, but it’s on my list of games that I really don’t want to try and play. (0:27:04) Aislinn: So I’m very excited to hear about this in general through you as someone that is very passionate about it. (0:27:06) Codey: Mm-hmm. Oh (0:27:08) Aislinn: So I’m excited to hear your passion, to motivate myself to reprioritize games better. (0:27:13) Codey: Well, so the the best priority of this game is that it’s free (0:27:19) Codey: Completely free to play and then they just keep adding more stuff that is free as part of the daily like playing it every single Day thing like you get the in-game currency I think they call them like moon stones or whatever you get them and like then you can use them to do this (0:27:36) Codey: stuff where you can get access to more content like more skins or furniture items or (0:27:45) Codey: like quest lines and things like that and (0:27:48) Codey: I have so much about in-game currency like just from playing every day in general like it adds up real fast. So (0:27:55) Aislinn: But even if you don’t play every day, it’s still like a pretty good free game (0:28:00) Codey: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm, and it doesn’t it doesn’t like (0:28:00) Aislinn: Cool. Awesome. That’s all I need to know (0:28:05) Codey: punish you for not playing. (0:28:06) Codey: every day. So like, if you have a while where you’re not able to play it, that’s okay. Um, and you can just dip in and dip out. But if you dip in, you’re in, um, you’ve been warned. Uh, so, uh, they have the next part of the DLC, um, and this free update called thrills and frills, uh, coming out on May 1st. You heard that right people, as As you are listening to this podcast, this stuff is available to play. (0:28:07) Aislinn: Awesome (0:28:36) Aislinn: Whoo (0:28:37) Codey: So there’s also a new star path, um, which is called a day at Disney and it’s, it lets you like bring in rides, like the tea cups ride and all of this other stuff. (0:28:50) Aislinn: for real? Ooh! (0:28:52) Codey: Yeah. (0:28:52) Codey: Like you can build, you can, I’m assuming that they’re just going to be furniture items that you can like either purchase or build or I don’t, I don’t know. (0:29:00) Codey: And then you just put them in your park and then you can ride the teacups or ride the whatever. (0:29:05) Codey: and I think, like, some of the– (0:29:07) Codey: other villagers will probably jump on them too. (0:29:09) Aislinn: That’s so cool I’ve never been able to ride the teacups because it makes me so nauseous (0:29:10) Codey: Super crazy. (0:29:15) Aislinn: So I could play it and I could I could sit in it in a game and ride it in the game [laughs] (0:29:19) Codey: Yeah, you sure do and you can take pictures like using the camera they actually showed that with the developer update (0:29:27) Codey: That like you can jump in and take a picture and it like shows you spinning around (0:29:32) Codey: I’ve never been to Disneyland and I’ve hit the point in my life where I don’t like children And I will probably therefore never go to Disneyland (0:29:43) Codey: Unless there’s like a an adult only day in which case it’ll probably be full (0:29:49) Codey: And I’m not gonna spend the money on that (0:29:52) Codey: So I’m excited to kind of get a taste of Disney (0:29:57) Codey: Disneyland Disney World whatever Disney parks in this game also more content never upset about that as part of the free update (0:30:05) Codey: thrills and frills (0:30:08) Codey: So I guess the thrills is the star path and frills is Daisy duck finally (0:30:15) Codey: So poor (0:30:17) Codey: poor Donald (0:30:19) Codey: Has seen Mickey and Minnie just like (0:30:22) Aislinn: The fact that this has not been introduced and this game has been out for what feels like a very long time, I just kind of assume that Daisy Duck was in the game. (0:30:24) Codey: Living their life and he’s just been like, where’s Daisy? (0:30:38) Codey: They yeah, go for it. Mm hmm. So they like hinted at her a couple times. So how they did so when you first start there’s Mickey Merlin goofy and think that’s it Donald’s not even you have to like rescue Donald from something and then you get him. (0:30:38) Aislinn: And the fact that she’s not is confusing. (0:30:54) Codey: But then like Mickey starts like seeing what seems to be Minnie’s ghost. And then you end up like pulling her out of the in between area. It’s there’s a lot. (0:31:01) Aislinn: Oh? (laughs) (0:31:08) Codey: And the other thing about this story is there’s a lot to the story that explains, I don’t want to spoil it for you, you need to play it. So, so, so there’s a couple times where you see what seems to be Daisy duck, like, you’ll see like maybe her little ghost or you find her ribbon I think at one point, or her bow. And so you know that she’s going to be added eventually and like Donald is just kind of like man I wish she was here and it’s just like (0:31:17) Aislinn: Fair enough, fair enough. (0:31:24) Aislinn: Mm hmm. (0:31:38) Aislinn: Awwww. (0:31:38) Codey: Oh, she’s not here yet. Um, so yeah, this will be I think probably I’m assuming what’s going to happen is she’s going to start showing up kind of like Minnie did and then Donald’s going to lose his mind and then you’re going to help him get his little lady. And so when she jumps in, she starts she has a new shop called the boutique, and in it you can design your own clothing, dude the clothing in this game is immaculate. (0:32:06) Codey: The vibes are excellent. (0:32:08) Codey: They did not like skip on anything. Is that the right, they didn’t like, skimp, skimp, skimp. (0:32:12) Aislinn: I think, I think so? (0:32:15) Aislinn: Uh, oh, yeah. Wow. I’m looking at like the trailer on, uh, on Twitter, X, whatever. (0:32:18) Codey: Yeah. (0:32:22) Aislinn: That dress is fire. (0:32:24) Codey: Dude, just in general, all of the dresses like I was playing the other day my boyfriend was here and I changed from like one dress to another and he was like, wow, that dress is really cool. I was like, I know, right, like, and I showed him there’s a bunch of different dresses that you can get and they’re all super super cute. And they make me feel like a princess. (0:32:44) Codey: But there’s also like, like a whole like pirate outfit that makes me feel it’s just so it’s so much fun. So with Daisy, you’re going to be able to do these weekly design challenges and have a whole new quest line to build the boutique super cool. (0:33:00) Codey: You can also in that free update use your tools and multiplayer Valley visits. So if you have friends that have DTV as well. (0:33:08) Codey: And you want to go visit their Valley. I’ve not done this yet because I don’t really know anyone you should play so I can visit your Valley. (0:33:15) Aislinn: You got it. (0:33:16) Codey: But then, so then like I can run around with you and help you collect things on your island or Valley. (0:33:22) Aislinn: That way I can speedrun the game. (0:33:24) Codey: Yeah, I can help you speak. I wonder, that’s actually really interesting because I wonder like, like I have all the updated things. So I wonder if I could just like, (0:33:38) Codey: all the stuff for you. Oh, no, actually, now that I think about it, you don’t get the Valley visit, like the thing that lets you visit valleys until until you’ve unlocked the last area. (0:33:51) Aislinn: Oh, so no speedrunning. (0:33:52) Codey: No, speed running. That’s okay, though. So a rift in time act two. So this is I don’t remember what it’s called, but it’s the second part of the paid DLC is also launching. (0:34:08) Codey: As you hear this, it is launched. And so I thought it said something about how there was going to be a certain lucky character released or whatever in the ruins. And I was like, it’s going to be Milo thatch. (0:34:18) Codey: I don’t know why Milo would be considered lucky other than the fact that he seems like a clumsy guy and somehow is not dead. (0:34:28) Codey: I don’t know. But it ends up being Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, which makes sense. I wanted it to be my I know Milo thatch. (0:34:38) Codey: So yeah, it’s Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. So this is like one of the first film noir like Disney characters also knew Mickey. And he has this really like film noir like feel to him like he’s in black and white. (0:34:56) Codey: And apparently, like as he goes through the island through eternity isle if he like touches anything, it also becomes black and white. Yeah, so you can kind of see like (0:35:08) Codey: as he, you know, interacts with the environment, the environment changes a little bit. And so can make the cow was really excited that it could make the capybara black and white. (0:35:18) Aislinn: Oh, that’s cute. (0:35:20) Codey: Yeah, I love this game. Okay. (0:35:26) Codey: I just want to go play it but right now but I have to go do I have to go outside. (0:35:30) Aislinn: Hey, but after. (0:35:32) Aislinn: After it’s brain turn off and play time. (0:35:32) Codey: After you bet, because I gotta, it will be brain turn off in playtime you’re right (0:35:38) Codey: Uh, okay. (0:35:39) Codey: Three more news pieces to get through slime rancher two, um, next release coming. (0:35:45) Codey: Oh, so there’s a new, um, like update and it’s coming at the end of spring 2024. (0:35:50) Codey: They actually said that it was slated, like it was supposed to come out in the summer. (0:35:53) Codey: So it’s coming out early, just super cool. (0:35:56) Codey: And this adds, uh, the pronto Mart, which is a place where you can buy things that help you in adventuring and then the conservatory expansion. (0:36:05) Codey: Um, which I don’t remember what that does, but it sure does something. (0:36:08) Codey: Um, and the next, next release is going to come in the fall. (0:36:13) Codey: I believe this is on, nope, not on sale. (0:36:18) Codey: Just part of the, they’re just highlighting it. (0:36:23) Aislinn: I guess because actually I don’t know why is it not on sale it’s featured but why is it why would it not be on sale? (0:36:30) Codey: Y’all riot. Don’t. (0:36:33) Codey: I think maybe it’s because they have an update coming out. (0:36:36) Codey: So like they’re it’s showcasing that, but it’s not on sale. (0:36:39) Codey: Throw it on your wish list, people, if you’re interested in it. (0:36:43) Codey: Oh, excuse me. I need to have more coffee. (0:36:46) Aislinn: Gotta sip that donkeys. (0:36:49) Codey: Got to sip the donkeys. (0:36:51) Codey: I got people, people not on the East Coast are like. (0:36:55) Codey: What the heck? (0:36:57) Aislinn: There’s this don’t get on the west coast somewhere. (0:37:00) Codey: There’s a few, but also that we have an international audience too. (0:37:04) Codey: So Dunkin’ Donuts is an East Coast coffee place. (0:37:05) Aislinn: This is Dunkin’ in Spain! (0:37:09) Codey: Dunkin’ Donuts, but it’s like shortened to Dunkies, or my favorite is the Dunkies. (0:37:15) Codey: [LAUGH] I don’t know why I love the Dunkies so much. (0:37:20) Codey: So I have a mocha macchiato that I will actually sip from in this very moment. (0:37:23) Aislinn: Ooh, sounds good. (0:37:27) Codey: the ASMR of the ice clinking. (0:37:30) Codey: Okay, last two things. Oh my gosh. These are so exciting. Research Story. This is a game that I covered on a pod with Bev. So Research Story has a point 0.8 coming out in early May. In this you get something called the dormancy barn. So this this is another game where the developer is really working with the community and like taking their feedback and then incorporating it in a really (0:38:00) Codey: so they added this thing called the dormancy barn because people people were like whoa we’re playing this there are so many creatures that we’ve like tamed or or are researching or whatever and they’re on our farm and we have to like say hi to them every day or else they get mad and it’s just like kind of a lot to do. So you can put them in the dormancy barn and it’s just a place where they can eat and they can just like they just kind of like go dormant and they sleep and the barn has (0:38:30) Codey: to be cleaned so you don’t have to feed them and your you don’t lose your friendship with the animals at all while they’re in the dormancy barn which I think is so less stressful so if you have all these (0:38:39) Aislinn: That sounds incredibly less stressful. (0:38:50) Codey: “Put everybody else in the dormancy barn.” (0:38:52) Codey: Let ’em have a small sleep. (0:38:56) Codey: So I think that’s super cool. (0:38:57) Codey: There’s also four new creatures. (0:38:59) Codey: One is a moth that’s called Glimoth, and I love them. (0:39:02) Aislinn: That sounds so cute. (0:39:03) Codey: It’s very cute, you should totally look at the devlog on Steam. (0:39:07) Codey: And there’s also a creature compendium, (0:39:09) Codey: which I always am a fan of a journal that catalogs everything and tells you all the stuff about everything you’ve ever. (0:39:20) Codey: And also has empty spaces for things you haven’t found so that if you know, like that way you can know like, Oh, wow, (0:39:27) Codey: there’s a certain I’m trying I’m thinking about this, like in terms of Roots of Pacha, where they had like, oh, there’s all these different colors of boar. But I don’t know if I found all of them. But in the in the journal in Roots of Pacha, (0:39:42) Codey: there’s like an empty space where that’s like a boar another boar. So I’m like, okay, I know that there’s another boar color (0:39:50) Codey: not found yet. So super excited that Reesa’s story is getting that compendium. And I am I just really want to dive back into this game. I didn’t play it too too much. But I just because of the timing when we covered it on the pod, I would also play it a lot more if it was on Steam, not Steam Switch or Mac. But when it’s one point when it’s out for 1.0, I will likely jump back in (0:40:20) Codey: try and give it give it its due credit. (0:40:22) Aislinn: It definitely looks very cute, and again, it’s on sale! (0:40:25) Aislinn: That’s the theme of this episode. (0:40:25) Codey: It’s on sale. It’s on sale. Okay, last but certainly not least Tales of the Shire. So this is a game that has been greatly (0:40:28) Aislinn: It’s on sale! (0:40:41) Codey: anticipated within our community. Some of the hosts have fighting over who’s going to cover it on the pod. (0:40:50) Codey: But of course it’s going to be Al and it has to be Johnny so I will just cry in a corner. (0:40:55) Codey: There is a new trailer for Tales of the Shire and in it you actually get kind of a look at some of the gameplay, which is super cool. (0:41:01) Codey: And it just looks like it’s gonna be a cute little, I mean we knew this already, but like a cute little cozy simulator, cozy farming simulator where you’re just a hobbit in the Shire. (0:41:14) Codey: Um, yeah. (0:41:14) Aislinn: That is so cool. I’ve never watched, don’t come for me, but I’ve never watched Lord of the Rings. (0:41:22) Aislinn: But I had no idea they had this game coming out for it, and I’m like, this is so cool. (0:41:26) Codey: Well folks, this has been a great episode but I need to uninstall, delete Aislinn from me. (0:41:29) Aislinn: No, no, no, no, please. I know. (0:41:33) Codey: You have to watch Lord of the Rings! (0:41:38) Codey: No, it’s fine. (0:41:39) Codey: Um, but yeah, no, I mean, this is super cute. (0:41:42) Codey: It’s like a, you know, it kind of, I don’t, and I don’t know if they’re gonna have like little things sprinkled throughout the Shirelands, like where you can get information about, like I don’t know what time period this is in. (0:41:56) Codey: Is it in the first stage? (0:41:58) Codey: Well, it’s definitely not in the first stage. (0:41:59) Codey: Is it in the second age? (0:42:00) Codey: Is it in the third age? (0:42:01) Codey: Like, we don’t know. (0:42:02) Codey: Is this, you know, pre-frodo, post-frodo? (0:42:07) Codey: Is it just completely separate? (0:42:09) Codey: It does say that you’re in by water, so you’re not in… (0:42:13) Codey: You’re not in Hobbiton, but I wonder if they’re going to be like areas that you can go to eventually. (0:42:18) Codey: Or it can just be a completely separate thing, which is fine. (0:42:22) Codey: That would be fine. (0:42:24) Codey: So they have things like forage- (0:42:26) Codey: I got the feeling- Did you watch this trailer? (0:42:32) Codey: My ADHD is all over the place. (0:42:32) Aislinn: I’m looking at it right now. (0:42:34) Codey: I got the feeling that you can play with friends. (0:42:35) Aislinn: No, you’re fine. (0:42:38) Codey: Did you also get that feeling? (0:42:41) Aislinn: Um. I just blasted in my ear. (0:42:44) Aislinn: Oops, I meant to keep it muted. (0:42:47) Aislinn: I can’t tell to be completely honest. (0:42:51) Aislinn: You know, maybe. Yeah, maybe. (0:42:54) Codey: So this says “forage friendships” and during that time… (0:42:56) Codey: It seems like you and possibly a friend are running around, but it also could be an NPC that’s taking you foraging or something, so I’m not entirely sure, but it would be awesome if you could play this multiplayer. So you can forage, fish, cook, gardening… none of this is confirmed, (0:43:16) Codey: but just from the footage that you see looks like all of those things are available. You can also decorate your house. And then it also showed that there were (0:43:26) Codey: seasons. So yeah, I mean, I’m here for it. We’ve been here for it the whole time. There’s also an interview with the team (0:43:37) Codey: Weta Workshop, I believe it is. There’s also an interview with that team on YouTube on the YouTube channel nerd of the rings. I did not have time to watch that interview. So I am not entirely sure if they cover anything different in that. But (0:43:55) Codey: you should go take a look. (0:43:57) Codey: so is this does this like make you more interested to watch Lord of the Rings? (0:44:04) Aislinn: Oh, I I’ve been wanting to watch it. It’s just I have an incredibly bad like massive backlog of movies in general (0:44:11) Aislinn: Um that it’s just it’s just never ending (0:44:15) Aislinn: But it’s been it’s been on my list and i’ve had multiple friends that like want to do like (0:44:19) Aislinn: Lord of the ring watch parties and stuff and i’m like i’m down but also isn’t that like an entire day? (0:44:24) Aislinn: Thing like can we do it over multiple days at least? (0:44:27) Codey: Oh it would be over multiple days because it takes two days. So if you watch the if you watch the extended I believe they’re each about four hours long. And then you you also have you also have to watch The Hobbit then which is also at least three to four hours long for each movie. (0:44:32) Aislinn: Oh, oh (0:44:35) Aislinn: Oh (0:44:42) Aislinn: But honestly, I’m down though because I just I love just watching things (0:44:52) Aislinn: I mean, honestly, I’m down. It’s just it’s just the time I’m down for anything. The worst part is just finding the time for these things (0:44:53) Codey: So yeah. (0:44:57) Codey: Yeah, I throw them on in the background all the time. (0:45:02) Aislinn: But I want to watch it and then I can do that [laugh] (0:45:05) Codey: 100%, yeah, you have to do the full watch. (0:45:09) Codey: And even after you’ve done the full watch, even me having it on in the background sometimes, I’m like, I don’t think I ever realized that it’s not happening as much anymore because I’m on my 100th watch or something like that. (0:45:16) Aislinn: Yeah (0:45:21) Aislinn: Oh my gosh (0:45:22) Codey: [LAUGH] I put it on when I’m writing, so. (0:45:27) Codey: Cuz it just, again, turns off that part of my brain that wanders. (0:45:32) Aislinn: know how you do that. I cannot imagine having something with anyone speaking while I’m trying to read or write or something. I physically cannot do that. It doesn’t work. (0:45:38) Codey: - Mm-hmm. (0:45:42) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:45:45) Codey: Well, so sometimes I have to pause it, (0:45:46) Codey: but also like because, (0:45:49) Codey: so a lot of the time if anyone’s talking or talking or like if there’s any words at all, (0:45:53) Codey: like singing or talking, (0:45:54) Codey: like my brain like clicks into that because I want to know what they’re saying, (0:46:01) Codey: but because I’ve watched “Lord of the Rings” so much, (0:46:04) Codey: I know what’s gonna be said. (0:46:06) Codey: Like, I could probably do most. (0:46:08) Codey: So I, my brain doesn’t like that part of my brain. (0:46:10) Aislinn: I love that laughs (0:46:12) Codey: That’s like, what are they going to say? (0:46:13) Codey: What is, what are they going to say? (0:46:14) Codey: Like that’s, that doesn’t exist. (0:46:16) Codey: Like it just, it’s like, I know what’s going to be said. (0:46:18) Codey: It’s fine. (0:46:19) Codey: It’s kind of the same as classical music for me. (0:46:21) Codey: Like, cause again, no, no, no, no, we’re just like, yeah, just got to watch it a few million times the movies. (0:46:30) Codey: So that movie, uh, those, sorry, those movies, they’re just, they’re just, (0:46:30) Aislinn: Mm-hmm. I get what you mean. I get what you mean. I got it [laughing] (0:46:35) Codey: the movies so that movie those sorry those (0:46:38) Codey: movies, Cyrano, Puss in Boots the Last Wish, 2005 Pride and Prejudice, and I feel like I’m missing another one all of those movies are are those that movie for me like I can put on any of those and I can write write with them because I’ve seen them so much (0:46:54) Aislinn: Got a lot of hours. You can get a lot of hours of writing in with all of those movies. That’s awesome [laughs] (0:46:58) Codey: I yeah just tie them all together maybe that’s what I’ll have to do this weekend uh because I have a presentation next week that I have been putting off. (0:47:09) Codey: okay we are off the rails but we are back on the rails y’all it is time for our main topic botany manner (0:47:17) Codey: so first I just kind of wanted to like get our first thoughts and our experiences with botany manner so like how much have you played how did like when did you hear about it when did you start playing and kind of like what were your first thoughts. (0:47:33) Aislinn: So, I finished the game, I played it in one sitting, which took me, I think it was a nine hour VOD up on my Twitch, but it came down to like a seven hour, like somewhat edited YouTube VOD, so I would say it approximately took me about seven hours to finish the game, (0:47:56) Aislinn: but that’s just me being mean, being slow and everything with it. (0:47:59) Aislinn: I would say approximately you could finish it in probably five hours, give or take. (0:48:03) Aislinn: But yeah, maybe even less depending on how good you are, but so I finished the game, (0:48:08) Aislinn: I will not spoil anything, but first impressions, really, really, really liked it. Final impressions, (0:48:17) Aislinn: really, really, really liked it. Like that so much that I bought or I didn’t buy, I was going to buy, (0:48:23) Aislinn: but then my Chris fiance, he surprised me and got me the actual book from the game. And it’s like a sketchbook type of thing, and it’s pretty massive, and like… (0:48:33) Aislinn: It’s a really good quality too, like the paper quality I really like for drawing. (0:48:37) Aislinn: Well I actually draw on it, I don’t know yet, but the book itself is really, really pretty. (0:48:41) Ai

Welcome to Pokémon GO Podcast! Happy Thanksgiving everyone. This special episode was recorded right after Pokemon Go Fest in July 2022. Charles was recording a different project with Dennis Robinson when Dennis asked about the go fest experience. You get a good look into the span of experiences for the fest, and a deeper talk about why we play. On top of that they hit some topics of where Niantic is going vs where the community wants to go. All of that incredible content, and of course your feedback and comments! Thanks to our awesome Patrons we will keep producing and improving the Pokémon GO Podcast.

GO Fest 2022 is a wrap! We talk about the event, the gameplay, and the people on the show this week. Also, deranged road trippers that we are, our band of 3 drove from Las Vegas to Seattle and back again. We have a lot to say about our journey, but I can sum it up by saying this past week I learned two important things; the unparalleled beauty of the American West and that 1982's “Gloria” by Laura Branigan slaps.

Plus, we discuss Roldy's relapse, an ice dinosaur thing neither of us could pronounce for some reason, the somewhat exciting TCG crossover, and we finally are somewhat excited about GBL again.
