I don't really want to seem like I'm complaining without any basis. In fact, hats off to Chyos for the current state of the game. I don't have 120+ hours in it for nothing. It's great and some mini games are needed in a game like this. The ones we have now are coherent and intertwined with the plot. You're a hunter, so there's hunting to earn money. You need a place to stay so you help Penny farm so she lets you stay with her and so on.Maybe people want a chicken farming mini game. Who cares if the cult quest hasn't advanced in years. I think when people complain too much Chyos just adds more Rumah stuff.
My issue is that we're 5 years in and the game is maybe in the first third of the story, if that? After a while a solo developer has to ask himself: do I need more than one variation of a tavern gambling game? Does anyone play my game to become a poker superstar? Probably not. As game development proceeds, I think it needs to become ever more focused to satisfyingly tie together plot and character threads from earlier. Once the game is more or less done in that regard, feel free to add all the bullshit pebble painting, house organizing and blindfolded jousting mini games you want to fill out the world to your standards.
