MichaelFriends who are playing Pokopia: before I drop $60 on this, how long until it starts feeling like I’m just working an unpaid job? Because I’m already exhausted from my real one.
(This is why I burnt out on Stardew Valley btw)
Adam@michaelthec I’m over 20 hrs in and it doesn’t feel like that at all. Looking ahead at online videos, resources continue to come easily without the need to grid. The devs really focused on the creative fun and that’s where it shines over, say, AC. #Pokopia
@michaelthec Also, there’s no need for daily tasks. There are some for those that are into it, but they’re optional. In a way it’s like BotW whereby you can explore and do your own thing at your own pace without pressure – at least after restoring the first Pokémon Centre. #Pokopia
Troy@michaelthec there are daily tasks, but there are only three and they are easy. "Generate Power 0/1" "Pick up leaves 0/5" "give gift 0/1"
You get enough tools that the resource gathering and building is easy; and most of the Pokemon are happy enough to sleep in the dirt. The pressure comes more from 'I want to make a pretty house for (Pokemon you like), and I think it would look nice up on the hill.
@michaelthec early on you get the ability to suck up loose items and blocks in a pretty large area.
You eventually get a move that lets you move fast and bulldozw/flatten land.
Late game there is a move that lets you swap out and bulk place blocks. For replacing broken tiles and placing grass.
