It's a shame the game is in the state that it's in. If they had polished it some more, it would be one of my favorite games. Excluding the bugs, there's just so many parts left feeling unfinished. For starters, there is a part where two of the characters get married. After you help them get together, you see a short cutscene of her saying yes and then kissing him, but after that, there is nothing at all. There is no wedding, no change in their dialog, no change in where they live. Nothing. That unfinished part expands to a lot of the rest of the game as well. The town you build by the desert and the port you help build are more examples. The characters keep talking about how lively those places are, but they feels so empty each time I go through them. It's like a ghost town. There is a lot to like about this game. The laidback atmosphere is great and for once a lot of the potential spouses seem like adults instead of children. I'm excited to see what they do with Sandrock now that they have a much larger team. I just feel that Portia wasn't finished and they abandoned it.
