@Sangria Oh my goodness, saaaame. :D

Relatedly, I keep wanting to remake the races in Stellaris to make a game that's just a bunch of cuddle friends in space. :D

@mawr Yeeees. I just played the Ever Oasis demo and GOSH this game is so cute and sweet. You run a magic oasis in a desert with a cute water spirit and use it as a safe haven for other cute people to come and set up shop. You do quests for them and then they move in and literally grow shops out of the ground and you get other party members with unique abilities that effect the environment when adventuring. I love everything about this. XD

@Sangria !!!!!!

I need this in my life. :D

@Sangria This looks like the game I really hoped "Fantasy Life" would be!! :D SO STOKED

@mawr Yeah im glad im not the only one who found Fantasy Life underwhelming. It was cute but it was really REALLY shallow.

@Sangria Yeah, for serious. "You can be anything!" and by anything they really mean "you can follow any one of these ~8 tracks that are completely on rails and extremely monotonous!"

That said, NAPDRAGON FOR LYYYYFE

@mawr Yeah. Im glad Ever Oasis seems to be focusing hard in the management aspect. Running your own little safe haven for people. Another thing that urked me about FL was switching jobs was a chore. In Ever Oasis field skills are attached to different characters that you can swap between if they are in your party.

@Sangria Yeah!! Thanks again for pointing this game out! I'm so excited for it! :D

@mawr This is basically what I did with Stellaris. ^.^

@indi @mawr The Gang Contacts A Bunch of Friendly Empires And Gets A Federation Victory Within Like A Century After Going Into Space

@Thaminga I mean, pretty much. :) Now I'm hoping for a War in Heaven or an endgame crisis to shake things up again. ;)

@indi I totally stole this idea from you. :D

@mawr @indi Are there good mods for cuter (i.e. more furry) race portraits? I could totally go for some of those.

So far, none of the games I've played have races who wanted to cuddle. They all want to fight me (unless they're a declining race, and even then sometimes they're fighty).
