@Jonathan_Blow You want to own the path that people have to use to get to the thing they actually want.
Aside from Apple, all the FAANG companies are based on controlling the path to the value, not creating the value.
@CohhCarnage @rockpapershot Thanks Cohh
@Rhopunzel @rockpapershot If only you weren't so busy building your own studio :)
@rockpapershot I might have thrown in Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac. Probably PUBG too.
And of course @ConcernedApe's Stardew Valley.
Tough competition though.
.@rockpapershot said RimWorld is one of the best games of the last 10 years. I'm honored.
The rest of the list is a great trove of /r/patientgamers material too.
And of course @ConcernedApe Stardew Valley.
@nikow That's the funny thing. The less I tell you, the better and faster the next game will come :)

@a_man_in_black Hmm. Clearly something complex is happening here... I appreciate the rich explanation either way.
@a_man_in_black I wonder if there's a way the game can solve this kind of problem more automatically. Will have to think about it and watch for other players with similar issues.
@a_man_in_black Yeah, if it's *always* tense that would be a real pacing problem.
Cassandra is designed to have a tight tension-relax cycle. So is Phoebe, except with a longer relax period. You could try Phoebe if you're not already. The challenges are as tough but the pacing is more open.
@a_man_in_black You could try the peaceful mode though, it's totally legit to just like building stuff and lots of players use it. Just a thought!
@a_man_in_black Funny thing is I also hate games that are compelling but not rewarding. I think it's kind of a skeezy way to design a game.
I tried really hard to make RW work on both levels by leaving players with rewarding personal stories. Though it obviously didn't work in your case :(
@maximininator I appreciate them reporting it!
@maximininator Thanks, I think it's been deleted though? Which is good because it's 100% fake.
@petrring It appears to be borked for some Catalina users since Apple pushed the update. There will be a RW update which I hope will fix the issue, but there's no release date for it yet. More discussion here:
@nikow I have a general policy of not speculating about future developments one way or the other. It saves a lot of heartache.
@jsalsman @ColonizeTitan No thanks!
@TacoSt0rm So sorry :)
