Pixelshire
It’s no secret that Pixelshire feels very reminiscent of Stardew Valley, which is itself inspired by Harvest Moon. The pixel art is similar, and the game contains much of the same farming, foraging, and mining. But a Stardew rip-off this is not. Pixelshire has terraforming, and as the townspeople eventually move in, you place their homes. And in addition to making friends and romancing NPCs, you can actually learn skills from them as well. You’ll also have your own shop to sell your goods. But the thing I’m most excited about is the procedurally generated islands that change each time you cross the mythical mist.
I’m honestly excited to see the genre progress as games build off each other, and Pixelshire is a game I know I’ll check out once it releases.
