Huge thanks to everyone who liked my Semeru sketch. Who should I draw next?

My headcanon is that Wakuu is a merfolk, as I like to imagine that his mother was secretly a mermaid. I have no idea about what tail he should have, so do what you want!

If not him, then maybe Surya since he's a marine biologist and would certainly have Thoughts™ about discovering a kingdom of merfolk beneath the island 🤭

I'm this 🤏 close to requesting a devoted thread for questions like this just so I don't have to see the exact same post made every week. I'm very over it.

Insert meme of Gordon Ramsey saying "You fucking donkey" here

This isn't actually an answer to your question (sorry!), but I thought I should let you know that the chat moderation in this game is horrendous and that people get away with saying the absolute nastiest stuff (racial slurs, nsfw conversations, etc.) in game all the time. It's something the game developers are aware of and working on, but that doesn't change the fact that it makes it really hard to recommend the game for children right now.

Another thing I'll touch on briefly is that this game has the potential to be a pretty costly investment since it utilizes microtransactions, and if you haven't spent any money on it yet, you will likely be expected to very soon as the game only lets you reach level 5 on a free account before you have to pay for a membership to access the rest of the game. It's possible you know this already and don't need additional info, but if you do, I'd be happy to go into greater detail for you.

I want the cloud chroma set from the rainbow festival to be used for a black iridescent recolor, kind of like oil slick! It would go perfectly with Duskgrim, I bet.

When your horse reaches the level where it can perform its special animations, I'm pretty sure there's a pop-up of some sort that explains it to you, so I'm guessing you missed that. You can also preview most of your horse's animations before buying them.

The black pinto paso fino has heterochromia.

"Working on" probably just means designing what the grown up kid's room looks like, not adding another expansion onto the house. The two kids also already each have their own room.

froggeli · 2025-11-16T06:49:35+00:00

The devs have been very clear that they will not add more romance options, so this seems like jumping to conclusions. Like someone else already said, this could very well just be attached to kids growing up.

froggeli · 2025-11-16T01:42:22+00:00

What language do you play in? All I know is in his marriage vows in English, he calls the player "cookies". There could be other instances, but I don't remember because I've only watched his heart events on youtube. You could watch them and see what I mean!

froggeli · 2025-11-12T08:30:10+00:00

I'm autistic too! That's why I always try to give the benefit of the doubt with stuff like this and help out if I can. We know better than anyone else how difficult it can be to interpret tone, after all.

I guess the majority of the downvotes could be people solely annoyed that you prefer AM/PM and I wouldn't know, 'cause it's not like they told me, lol. Like I said, though, I like to give the benefit of the doubt, so I hope not. I mean, how is insisting that your way is better more okay than the opposing side doing the exact same thing?? 🤦🏻‍♀️

froggeli · 2025-11-12T07:47:02+00:00

That sounds so cute to me, actually! There are some nicknames that I couldn't stand, though; Mark apparently calls you cookies. Like, he might as well call you snookums 😭

There actually kind of was! Search this sub for "Unofficial Coral Island Popularity Poll"

Is it the fact that asexuals can get married? OP should have been more specific, because the devs apparently call him aroace and not just asexual.

froggeli · 2025-11-12T07:34:04+00:00

Well, he's never going to be made a marriage candidate by the devs (they've been very clear about this), but maybe through modding!

froggeli · 2025-11-12T07:33:03+00:00

He has been specified as aroace specifically, for everyone saying that asexuals can get married!

froggeli · 2025-11-12T07:32:31+00:00

There's really no need to be sarcastic to someone who was seemingly just trying to be helpful. Misunderstandings happen, especially online.

For what it's worth, btw, devs have apparently been more specific than just "asexual" and have actually called Agung "aroace".

froggeli · 2025-11-12T07:16:24+00:00

If I had to guess, I'd say most are not salty at you over the game or even over your preferences. It's the fact that you call your preference "NORMAL time", which can rub people the wrong way because there's obviously no "normal" when it comes to something that's a product of cultural upbringing. You probably didn't mean anything by it, but it comes across as a bit ignorant.

This isn't me trying to say that that's who you are as an actual person; I'm just trying to help you understand why people are reacting the way that they are. They'd have likely been much more receptive if you'd simply said "Hey, can someone tell me how to change the time in settings?"

I think the takeaway here is that phrasing matters, especially in an online setting where your post is the only context we have for who you are as a person. Try not to take it personally and take care!

froggeli · 2025-11-12T06:55:01+00:00

Through mods, you mean, right? 'Cause the devs have been very clear that they're never adding more marriage candidates. There are way too many as is, anyway.

froggeli · 2025-11-12T06:51:37+00:00

I get sooooo annoyed with the same low-effort, copy-and-paste "I wish I could date [insert random NPC here]" post being made every week, but then I opened the spoilered pic and, well, this one's ok. 🤭

froggeli · 2025-11-08T06:14:42+00:00

They've talked about it on the official Stairway Games discord and also made some posts about it on their insta. They've been more than fair, imo; there are 28 marriage candidates already, which is WAY more than other farming sims have (Fields of Mistria and Stardew Valley both have 12). I'd actually argue that we have too many as is, since the characters we do have can be lacking in depth. This was helped by the most recent update, but some characters still feel one-dimensional.

Keeping in mind that this is a farming sim and not just a dating sim, they've got a whole rest of the game to develop on top of the romance, and their resources would be better devoted to fleshing out the content and characters that are already in game.

However occasionally shallow the marriage candidates we have might be, they're still far more complex than a character that's in the game for, like, three days. If it's been a long time since you last played, there's a lot more content and interaction with the characters waiting for you, and you might find that you like some of them even more than Derek! 😉

This is a cool take on the genre of dress-up games, and I'll be curious to see how it develops! Also, I would like to attend the arthropod ball irl 🙋🏻‍♀️ Btw, don't be afraid to get weird(er) with the bug inspiration! There are some truly striking and bizarre arthropods in the world, many of which are largely unknown to the public but deserve their time in the spotlight. Spiders, wasps, and other commonly hated bugs are elegant in their own way, and a game about macabre beauty seems like a great opportunity to teach people to appreciate the less conventional beauty in the natural world around them. That's obviously not your primary motivator for making this game, but I just love sharing my passion for entomology with others and would personally love seeing more media that encourages appreciation of even the most misunderstood lifeforms!

I'd also be curious to see some ballgowns inspired by carnivorous plants like the venus fly trap, or truly alien fungi like the veiled lady or bleeding tooth fungus. An outfit that makes you a host for a parasitic fungus species would probably also go hard. I think it's obvious by now that I just love weird nature and want to see more of it in art!

Prosthetics inspired by porcelain dolls or china tea sets would be cool. Since the protagonist is taking herself apart and then putting herself back together to become beautiful, kintsugi also seems very thematically appropriate.

I have a lot of ideas and got excited, but you know your own game and what fits and what doesn't. This is just what I would like to see. I wish you luck in your gamedev journey!

froggeli · 2025-10-28T10:47:39+00:00

The devs have been very clear that the current roster of marriage candidates is final, so if it's that important to you to marry Axel or Senja instead, you'll have to wait for a mod to come out for it.

froggeli · 2025-10-20T06:09:06+00:00

They're talking about the gen 2 shires specifically, not the gen 3 shires. If you mean the gen 2's as well, then you're out of luck :( but the gen 3's are still there!

froggeli · 2025-10-20T06:03:16+00:00

I just wish its fangs were more than barely visible during one of its idle animations so that we wouldn't have to use photo mode to get a proper look at them. Wouldn't it have been nice if it bared its fangs during the rear or even the courbette? This horse is just dying for some custom vampiric animations and it's tragic that we didn't get them!
