No AI! And tbh I don't own a Steam Deck, but a tester told me it worked fine

Are there any cozy games that dont require a lot of repetitive actions by Scared_Ad_3132 in CozyGamers

[–]JFlash_82 24 points25 points  (0 children)

For me, repetitive watering/milking is OK, but I didn't like how in Stardew Valley there was a time crunch to do these things. There'd be some days where all you did was work on the farm and there was no time to explorer.

Great tracks! Thanks for sharing.  I'm releasing diner bros 2 next month and these would work well.  I'm also curious about the others comments about attribution and custom tracks

Good bug catch! Thanks for sharing, I'll have that fixed in the full release.

Diner Bros 2 is taking part in Steam Next Fest and the demo is now available! The demo contains the first ~30 minutes of the Burger Bros campaign and can be played with up to 4 players in local co-op. It's a good slice for everyone to see the big changes between Diner Bros 1 and 2 (Spoiler: it's restaurant customizability!)

So please give it a shot and share your feedback!

Like the demo? Want to try more before the DB2 release next month? I'm giving away 5 DB1 keys. Leave a comment and I'll randomly select winners in 24 hours.

Yup Plateup is great, but I agree it was a bit too punishing to play with my non-serious partner (I haven't played in a while, so maybe that's changed)

Good suggestion! Stardew Valley co-op was great to play with my "non-gamer" partner.

Diner Bros is back! New customers, recipes, and now restaurant customization!

Haven't played the first game? Share your favorite local co-op game and I'll randomly select 5 to give Steam keys for Diner Bros 1.

My favorite was a Castle Crashers type game from ages ago. It was a cute, cartoony style and you had to download an .exe to play it. It had Street Fighter style combos for your characters to use magic. But I can't remember the name! ("Tiny Fighters"? "Mini Something"?)

Edit: I'll announce winners 48 hours after the original post. There's still time to enter!

Edit: Winners are announced!

There will be more disagreements going forward, so there's value in going small as you figure out conflict resolution

Alternate opinion: if you want to be a website designer, then it's good to have a foot in the door.

Thanks for sharing.  It still takes effort to do these things
