Players suggest that enhancing gameplay could be achieved through clearer tutorials, streamlined mechanics, and added depth, such as realistic material handling and horse upgrades. Improvements like a more intuitive sleep mechanic, better balance between exploration and trading, and simplified upgrade processes are also recommended. Overall, the current gameplay experience is hindered by tedious walking and a lack of engaging content, indicating a need for further development.
“Horse upgrades: exploring horse upgrades, including storage options and varied speeds, could add depth to the gameplay.”
“Clearer tutorials, streamlined mechanics, and added depth in various aspects could elevate the gaming experience.”
“If I were the dev, I would personally focus on getting the cart functional, setting up an alloy system (either by ratio or percentage), or moving the player house closer to town, as the most grueling part of gameplay at the moment is walking in a game that doesn't yet have much to see.”
“Balancing exploration and trading: adjusting the balance between mining and trading for equal rewards would enhance overall gameplay.”
