Its honestly such a dead game at the moment, as in the world feels super empty and uninteresting. The pathing for the Pals is really bad too - trying to build a multistorey building is basically a nonstarter as they can’t really navigate up stairs.
Based on that you can get costumes/skins for your Pals, I’m pretty sure they’ll go live service with those as micro transactions.
For this type of game, performance is really inconsistent. Without even building a mega base etc, sometimes it’ll decide to just start moving as a slide show at like 20 fps. When I first load it it runs nicely at 100fps (with some tuning of the graphics).
Its especially bad if you go into a new town. Sometimes it’ll go fine, but chances are it’ll run like shit until you close the game and reopen it.
Thanks for your responses. Pretty incredible that its capable of being so flexible and still be a coherent game. The community behind it must be amazingly passionate about it.
Its not about the sales at that point (obviously), its about bolstering the user base. Everything boils down to advertising these days. The more people they have registered on their platform, the wider advertising audience.
