im going to be a hater for a sec but anyone else think Pawborough just Sucks Ass? Like it's just kinda dogshit. I'm unfortunately hyperfixated on it rn because number go up but ummmmmm
1) core gameplay loop is boring
2) G1 cats near impossible to obtain
3) the requirements to submit a custom pelt are fucking insane, especially for a project that's already making money (kickstarter) AND advertises itself as "by artists, for artists". Like no the fuck it is not lol
4) breeding mechanics are incredibly boring
5) all the images are fucking huge so the site takes 3 to 4 business years to load
6) holy spaghetti code batman
7) what does the fucking backend of this website look like?
8) their forums have likes and dislikes like it's fucking reddit. worse still is that it's the DEFAULT SORTING OPTION.
9) there's like two point one clothing items. they're really, *really* relying unpaid player artists to pick up the slack.
10) the balancing on how often you get certain items and how much you need to craft stuff is incedibly off. one million mice but no cotton to make clothes.
11) because you needed to donate on kickstarter or to currently spend IRL money to have any chance of affording nice looking cats, entire sections of the economy are off limits to most players AND it's created this money-hungry and competitive community that just kinda... sucks. It's not fun.
12) This is a dress up sim with a shoddy game attached
13) Just go play Pixel Cats End. The good version of Pawborough has existed for years and it's PCE. Literally every mechanic and goal of PB (artist friendly, pretty cats, fun adventures, good community, dress up sim, etc.) is already on PCE.
