space llama Posted March 30 Report Posted March 30 i just wanted to make a small post talking about the game, but mostly what i means to me, this might be a bit sappy or cringe but eh i feel like sharing my love for this game. vintage story is one of the few games where im actually able to relax and enjoy myself when im all on my own, not a lot of games allow me to let my guard down or just enjoy the moment all that much, my brain is not the nicest place to be at times, and now with migraines being a daily thing, its nice to just have somewhere to exist. even if im scared out of my mind a in a cave im still having a good time, in a bit of a sad way i superpose its a way for me to function more then i actually do. for a wile now ive stuck with the same world seed, seeing it change form update to update, somewhat similar but not always the same, some caves change, or ruins in different places, and with rivers coming some time in the future im exited to see what that dose to it as well, every big stable update i start over, make the world again build something new, do something different, even if i know where some stuff is it always feel fresh in some way. im not so sure what my main point with this post is, maybe just to say thank you to the dev`s for there amazing continued work, or just to share my fondness for my experiences with this game, either way i look forward to seeing what comes next, and what little or big changes i can find come 1.22, maybe this time i`ll finally build that big stone bridge i wanted to make between those mountains (i`ve named them the twin watchers, i always end up making my base at the foot of them) ty for reading 23 4 2

Valsalan Posted April 1 Report Posted April 1 Vintage Story is a special game, you're not alone in feeling that and being thankful for it. 2
vinnland Posted April 3 Report Posted April 3 I agree. Until, of course, I hear that terrifying bear roar. Then, relaxation is over haha. 1
Teh Pizza Lady Posted April 3 Report Posted April 3 That is a really nice screenshot. Graphics to the max, I assume?
Jarulf Posted April 4 Report Posted April 4 This is almost the perfect game for me, it can be creative (well, I try at least... Somewhat), relaxing, cozy and engaging at the same time. It can be tedious, scary and annoying, but for me that is something that's a draw. The rewards feel meaningful after you put in the work of some project, or suddenly understand something about the mechanics for the first time (e.g prospecting). If one aspect of the game starts feeling boring, there's usually something else you can do. I love the slow progress, this is the Slow Game equivalent of Slow Food. 1
Vanassa Posted April 5 Report Posted April 5 VS is my cozy game that I always seem to gravitate back to. No matter where I am in the world or what other games I'm playing, there's always a bit of me that misses Vintage Story and I end up coming back. The visuals and sounds of the wind swaying of the grass, the seasons, the sandstorms in the desert, the feeling of safety in your little house you've built by the lake when it's dark outside and now they have fishing!!! I understand you completely OP. 1

I understand you completely OP. it is indeed very cozy, ofc with its not so cozy elements, but i like the blend of both, seeing some more of the unsettling elements grow over time is something i actually want to see, just makes the calm all the more rewarding at least to me 1

I do as well, but what really makes the game work for me is the variety of the gameplay. You can spend a day doing boring stuff, smithing tool heads and nails and strips for example, and the next day you can pack your lunch and go on a little overnight exploration adventure.
