▲ ▼ Minimal home-building game for LDR couples
Currently in a long-distance relationship with my boyfriend and we've been looking for games we can both play just to be in the same space.
We tried so many already like Minecraft, which we purchased for our laptops but his internet couldn't handle being on my server. He even purchased "It Take Two" only to find out that it doesn't cross-platform (we will still play it when I see him). We also found other alternatives like Stardew Valley and Genshin Impact and basically, every other MMORPG's out there. But we've decided we just want a minimal home-building game we can both play on our phones. No other farming, not even stories, no quests.
We liked the concept of Adorable Home. Too bad that app isn't an online multiplayer, even for just 2 people. It's so calming and simple. We just want a "home to come home to" while we're apart.
>The latency or Internet issues in general seems solvable? Did you explore it further?
Yeah my brother mentioned that it could be a problem so we're going to try and figure it out. But when we started, we definitely got frustrated and we also got tired of being on a laptop. We decided an app based game is best so it's easy to check on it wherever we are idle too.
>Are you planning to address this need-gap yourself?
would love to but I don't know how
A need-gap in gaming that can be potentially addressed by a indie-developer is rare, So I'm sure this will be picked-up by someone soon and perhaps they would have you on-board as well.
that would be fun. I'd love to join even if it's just for the initial brainstorming session and/or testing the prototype
