I’m not finished playing this tech demo yet, but so far it shows a lot of promise. It’s quite polished for a tech demo and already has a solid base for future content. I’ve really enjoyed the jobs and quests, and I hope the game keeps improving over time.
So far it's one of the best games on sbox but that doesn't really make it a big achievement.
There's clear promise and path but so far the world feels empty and there's really no goal.
In My Summer Car you have a clear path - fix a car, explore world with actual NPCs and have funny sandbox interactions (for example being run over by a car or fighting with bare fists.) My summer cottage offers just set of minigames not really a game per se - money couldn't be spent on anything that's worth collecting funds.
It has decent controls but fishing system could look more like the one in Stardew Valley - this one when you just move mouse left and right feels???? unfinished and not intuitive.
There were a lot of popping trees and flickering "blue rectnagles" during driving at high speed, but that could be flaw in S&box engine. It's a solid base but clearly needs polish and actual desire to build in it. (world is too big compared to content or it needs to be filled with it)
Im loving this game, all it needs is multiplayer, not like a system were you join a friend, like live servers for the game. if possible, itd be the best feature!
