I've been playing #MoonstoneIsland this week.It might be good. I'm not sure. It's like Stardew Valley + Pokemon, but with cards. Cool systems, which work well enough, but it's a bit slow for my taste, and yet I always feel rushed. The items I need to make my spirits stronger are time limited, and also It's hard to find appropriate spirits. I have to fly way out everyday and I get a limited time to look for guys with low spawn rates. I often don't find any. Games need friction to be games, but is it there because it's fun or is it there because the dev feels like the genre demands it?

Anybody ever play Moonstone Island?

It looks like a mix of Stardew Valley, Pokemon, Slay The Spire, and the Atelier games, and I am intrigued but a little worried it's trying to do too many things at once?

I played Moonstone Island today after dropping 7 Days to Die...It's quite nice, the updates have made Moonstone Island better.

I am still annoyed by not being able to designate my character's gender or define the expression of that gender. Due to this, I won't be able to romance one of the hot guys. However, there is enough game here that this won't fully ruin the gameplay experience.

游玩时间差不多40小时了，刚好是游戏内一年
感觉游戏的内容还是挺单薄的，几乎没有剧情，任务也大多是给npc送宝可梦、按照要求配制道具等
感觉开发方确实压宝在卡牌对战和地牢探险上面了
一整年的节日竟然只有一个新年，而且内容就是看烟花，甚至npc都没用专门的台词

看开发商的更新日志说接下来会有今年最后一次更新，会增加一些新的节日和新的精灵
心说我一边抓你一边更新，怕是永远完不成那个抓全所有精灵的任务了（

#月光石岛 #MoonstoneIsland

游玩时长超过26小时之后，想法有些调整（但不多）
首先如前所述，这游戏的核心是冒险+卡牌，种田模拟几乎是可以完全放弃的；不得不说选择卡牌而非回合制一方面可能是避嫌 #宝可梦，另一方面则是卡牌的高随机性虽然给新玩家提高了上手门槛，但也明显延长了游戏寿命，推迟了玩家倦怠。宝可梦系列一直围绕回合制反复尝试新花样（比如传说系列）也是因为一旦通关游戏性就大减，留下来的只有极少数收集特殊个体以及更极少数打对战的（我印象里一千多万套的销量在线对战只有几十万，个位数百分比）
然后游戏也确实做得很简单轻巧，很适合在NS这类便携平台上玩（但似乎没开发NS版？）。画风清爽可爱，表面上的观感分很高
而且角色设计非常多元，游戏的wiki甚至标了各角色的pronoun
游戏体量不大，是小工作室的独立游戏作品，甚至可以跨个小而美
不过也因为制作规模小，很多细节欠缺打磨，比如前面说的距离判定问题已经严重到可以算作bug了，两位NPC挨着、两个放得很近的箱子会导致反复走位也无法与另外一个交互；甚至单个对象（一块石头、一棵草）偶尔都会出现拒绝被判定为可操作的情况

#月光石岛 #MoonstoneIsland

然后游戏又有很多白痴设定，比如在玩家刚上来手忙脚乱的时候提醒玩家「帐篷一旦放好在做出第二个之前无法再收起来噢」更让玩家慌张；在黑不隆咚地时候让玩家摸黑去找道具（这种引导能让玩家对地图留下屁印象）；玩家干任何操作（比如空挥镰刀）就能让体力值狂掉然后手上还没有任何补充道具……想说这游戏主策是亚洲爹妈吗信奉吃苦学得快（我打cozygame的tag都有点犹豫）

不过游戏画面确实让人舒服，作为像素游戏选了很清爽通透的画风看着很舒服（确实比星露谷看着更精细和现代）。

这游戏目前没有中文wiki、没有修改器、mod寥寥无几而且因为之前频繁改代码让mod无效逼得mod作者弃坑。如果要修改数据来降低难度的话还比较繁琐，要按照下面的步骤：
1. 从系统的任务管理器中查看游戏的多个进程，找到内存占用最大的那个并记下pid
2. 将PID用程序员计算器转换为十六进制
3. 打开 #cheatengine，按进程查找到十六进制PID符合的那个进程（直接用程序查找是无效的）
4. 按照2倍值检索数据并修改（比如某道具10个，要搜20才能搜到）

#月光石岛 #MoonstoneIsland

对比星露谷，一开始玩家的任务非常简单，就是清理农场（并从中学习砍伐），清理之后是耕种，引出与镇民的互动（买种子），至于建造、下矿等都是逐渐展开的；
本作一开始要塞给玩家的东西太多了，以至于要安排教学剧情引导玩家上手耕种和精灵管理，但前半段根本这些根本不必要。我玩了快一个小时都没有种过东西因为耕种产物完全可以通过觅食获得；头几个小时都在熟悉地图和基本操作根本没进入到精灵捕捉环节，那么这些内容完全没必要特意组织一段剧情去教玩家

实际上本作正式游玩内容有个很适合的开头，离开家乡的小魔法师外出生活一年（很《#魔女宅急便》），遭遇事故道具散落一地。这里本意是通过捡拾道具引导玩家熟悉地图和捡拾基本操作，但安排在夜间又搞得特别慌乱，让玩家无所适从。
如果改成「刚到达就丢了道具，好在先找到帐篷确保了安身之处，第二天起来慢慢搜集道具同时遇到来归还道具的NPC顺便熟络镇民」就会观感好很多

从 #星露谷物语 出来之后患上完结综合症，试图寻找替代品，然后看到了很多推荐本作的
因为号称揉合了 #宝可梦+#种田 于是被吸引到了
实际上手不得不说落差是很大的

首先，这游戏的本体是#卡牌战斗 ，类宝可梦的捕捉抚养+种田模拟元素都是后掺的，这一点非常明显（对比之下星露谷的本体是耕作系统）。这影响了整个游戏得游玩预期。
其次，不得不感慨星露谷的交互设计是真得好。本作一些小细节非常让人头疼，比如操作对象焦点判定很成问题：和NPC讲话要寻找恰到好处的角度和距离，太远太近都不行，遇到路过的NPC要跟在祂屁股后面前前后后试好几次才能触发；砍树砸石头割草也都是这样，角度稍微没对齐就会朝空气挥动工具白白浪费体力，面对范围内同时存在多个可交互对象时判定会乱飞，甚至出现先打远处再打近处的bug。这可是一个已经发布了一年多稳定更新还出了DLC的游戏啊
再有，这游戏新手开局内容太多了，又没有经过编排，导致前几个小时我始终觉得手忙脚乱操作特别复杂又没干成什么。

Moonstone Island está chegando no Nintendo Switch!

O game chega em 19 de junho na eShop por R$74,95.

E, pra mim, um dos fatores que influência muito na compra deste tipo de jogo é estar todo localizado em PT-BR.

O trailer do jogo tá no link abaixo.

Hey you #StardewValley fans who've been looking for something new to get excited about, don't sleep on #MoonstoneIsland coming out next week! It has both the Stardew elements and feels you love, as well as a bit of #Pokemon flavor to boot and is very charming. Don't miss it!

@thegamerstavern I recently reached a wind-down point with #MoonstoneIsland , so I'm searching for my second game (aside from #Asphalt9Legends). Maybe some #SpaceCrew ? I also picked up #SteamworldHeist and that's been a pretty great turn-based tactics game...

Of course, some practice in #WRC

And getting the #ROGAlly set up to play some #Minecraft or other game with Gamer Kid.

Should be a fun weekend!

#MoonstoneIsland is fun because, while you're ostensibly just a kid (Drawn like a non-binary tween, parents still heavily involved), you can romance anyone on the island.

Anyway, I'm gonna celebrate the New Year by sleeping with the hot divorcee from the seed store

Game 7 of 2024: #MoonstoneIsland
I really enjoyed Moonstone Island. It's adorable, chill, and I love how it's a creature collecting turn based combat with cards while also a farming sim game. There's a variety of things to do in it while working on the story too.

NORMAL MOONSTONE ISLAND PLAYERS: Hmmm...today I think I'll redecorate the house, then go flirt with that cute blacksmith

ME: I'm 60 floors below the tavern, getting my ass kicked by a snow cone

#MoonstoneIsland

I just unlocked an achievement reached by less than 3% of players, and am now entering an area that is COMPLETELY UNDOCUMENTED in the game wiki

Wish me luck

Love receiving very cool and normal letters from my game friends

Love my little Eldritch horror squad

Moonstone Island is like "Stardew Valley meets Pokémon"; mostly chill, with creatures you capture, battle, level up, etc.

There's a very fun leveling mechanic, though.

Sure, you can grind against challenging opponents, slowly work your squad's stats up

***OR***

You can buff your squad to high heaven, capture a baddie 20 levels your superior in a suicide run, then build a new OP team around that success.

It's hard AF, but feels so cool whenever you can make it work.

#gaming #MoonstoneIsland

Always appreciate it when a game meets me at my maturity level

#gaming #MoonstoneIsland

Cool discovery in Moonstone Island: there's an overlook dedicated solely to viewing the game's lovely vistas.

Don't matter who you are - that's purty.

#gaming #moonstoneisland

Started playing #MoonstoneIsland (think Stardew Valley meets Pokémon), and all of the early conversation options are:

Chat (70% success)
Joke (50% success)
Flirt (10% success)

I love the idea of a player flirting with the whole town upon arrival and immediately turning everyone off

Huge mood #MoonstoneIsland
