dear devs,
i have watched your work from the moment the game was kickstarter, i was playing from the moment i got my keys, with long periods between (to prevent burnout)
i have seen so many things you guys worked weeks to get to, only to change the very next patch because you did not see it as good enough.
ive seen on upcoming patches and patch days that you have worked over time, just to try and make sure each thing is perfect.
changes in how things work, how things look, taking suggestions from the alpha folks.

there is so much love, and time, and attention to detail you have put to the game, to all of us. laughing at things that did not work out as expected, groaning at the things that just refuse to work no matter what you do ((very early game time)) and yet, you guys did not give up, you strove ahead, and made this game far better than just... let us fix the issues....

you have done so much, thank you devs, for making this amazing game, that i feel so privileged to take part in... seeing your hard work and dedication... this labor of love.

THANK YOU!!

As we get down to the single digit days leading up to Early Access, I want the devs to remember one thing:

Take good care of yourselves. Your wellbeing is worth more than our expectations of you.

Thanks devs for the alpha experience, looking forward to EA and yes take care of you first

Thank you Devs. In all your excitement/work don't forget to hydrate and take breaks, look after yourself first. We appreciate you offering us so much joy.

Massive thank you to the devs! I hadn't played alpha in a while and going into EA there is so much new content! The world is beautiful and full of life and I'm constantly finding new little details or things I didn't expect! This game is incredible already and I know it'll keep getting better and better with every update. Hope you are all treating yourselves and taking care, amazing work!!!

Dev team, you guys have done so much and have made an amazing experience through the alpha and going into early access. Give yourselves a pat on the back! Seeing the growth from the beginning to now has been an absolute pleasure to witness, and I'm excited to see what the future holds. Among all the excitement, don't forget to take care of yourselves and your health, stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and take it all a step at a time!

Yes, thank you all. Your team has been amazing in transparency and assisting us throughout the whole of the alpha experience

So I'm going to forewarn that you're gonna see me reporting a LOT of bugs and a LOT of feedback.

But despite all the demands, it's because I've been playing Early Access all day and all night with a small number of hours (read: minutes) of sleep.

So congrats on making a phenomenal game thus far. Remember: every critique and criticism isn't because the game's bad. It's because it's really, really good and the people here care enough to make you have the best game in existence.

To the absolutely amazing and stellar devs, thank you for the chance to be one of your Alpha testers. Congratulations on such an amazing milestone in publishing the game to Early Access. It's been such an amazing, wild ride the last fourteen months and I'm so honored to have been a part of that. I hop you all are taking a well deserved break before the chaos starts again.

I'm consistently amazed by every new thing in this game! SO grateful to have been able to support. Thank you devs!

As a backer, it's been an absolute privilege to be able to watch this game grow. The Coral Island team has been so communicative, set realistic and super attractive stretch goals, and is delivering on all of them as they go. Despite the journey we still have to go, I've full confidence in what's to come.

As a Black woman, just...thank you. It's so hard to come across games that have us in them, and even harder to find one that doesn't have us as a walking caricature loaded with stereotypes. In Coral Island, we just exist as the people we're meant to be, and the town feels so diverse and just absolutely lovely.

I cannot gush enough about how much I love this game and I'm pretty sure my viewers are sick of me LOL. I hope you're all proud of yourselves, because this game is amazing and you should be. Looking forward to everything to come ❤️ Thank you so much

I actually cried during my little early access stream the other day over this game and how profoundly it has positively impacted my life. If I remember correctly I said something along the lines of "I am just so happy this game exists." So thank you. This game is a work of art and I had a passionate hour long discussion with my mother over it.

Congratulations on the early access launch, and thank you so much for this game, developers, and thank you for your hard work ❤️ I'm having loads of fun playing this and I incredibly appreciate how much you guys listen to our feedback. I'm very happy I got to play this game from Alpha! But points docked for making me hungry every time someone talks about food because you guys keep using my favourites (I jest. I'm so happy to see my favourite food and fruits in here. Thank you!)

Just started this game. I have barely done a thing in it and im in LOVE. The game looks absolutely stunning.....just beautiful. The NPCs seem soo interesting and I only met like 5. Thank you so much! Im glad I purchased....this is exactly what I needed in a sim game. Beautiful music, bright characters and as a black Woman I am SO happy I can be who I want to be. Again...Amazing work!

To all the developers & staffs at Stairway, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your commitment and hard work to make Coral Island comes true. I'd also like to thank the community managers and also moderators in this server for answering all questions about Coral Island, even sometimes we bother you too much. Last but not least, thank you to the backers who invested during the Kickstarter project, because Coral Island wouldn't be like this without your supports. 🪸 🏝️ ✨ 💕 💝

Please keep it up the good work to continue developing Coral Island until the final version for its official release and don't forget to take care of yourself too in the future. Best of luck to Stairway and Coral Island. Once again, congratulations for the Early Access launch of Coral Island!! 🎉 🎊 🥳 🪸 🏝️

Just have to say I was not expecting this game to be this good. I really love the world and the characters. It is not just a cozy game it feels like a real town with real people in it. Thank you all involved it is an incredible achievement and I look forward to how much this game grows and all the memories we will make on Coral island! 🥰 🤗 👍

Omg! I played so much yesterday and I love the game! The design and variety of the people and the town is absolutely stunning! The story has good intrigue without making it feel forced, and there's just so much to do!

I know the place is burning down right now with alot of issues from the update. I just wanted to say even though i am definitely experiencing the issue where chests are emptying, that you guys are doing great. The game has a place in my favorites and will be playing for a long time. Thank you!

I've been watching this game's journey forever and I am so excited to finally play it! it is sooo cute and I love the diversity of the NPCs and the way they emote! and the dogs/cats around town. Taco playing in the fountain. It's all the little touches that make this so amazing to me.

while i know there's issues, i also know this game literally released into early access yesterday, so like there's gonna be; as for me i have absolutely LOVED the game so far, downright addicted/obsessed, and can't wait for future content drops and all the fixes that are gonna put a nice polished sheen on the already pretty and well running game (for the most part), so thanks devs for this wonderful game, and for all the enjoyment i'm sure to get out of it
i fully expect i'll meet or exceed my 331 hours in Stardew Valley eventually x3

Thank you devs! This game has been amazing. Yall are so responsive and caring. The game is beautifully designed, lots of fun, and absolutely breathtaking. I hope that as you work on this game you also remember to take breaks and care for yourselves. Thank you for all of your hard work now and in the future. I'm so glad I backed this game and that I have the opportunity to play it and see it grow into a huge success. Take care and thank you again ❤️

I just want to say a huge thank you to the devs, i've watched the game develop so much since day 1 through alpha to now. It's staggering to see how far the game has come, and you all must be under intense pressure right now. I know the game is a long way off being finished but thank you for all of your passion and dedication. The game is going to make so many people happy. Also thank you so much for all the LGBT representation!

As an Indonesian living abroad, this game was like a balm for my eternal homesickness. I nearly cried when I heard our traditional music instruments in the soundtrack. It feels so good to see elements of our country in such a comfy and cozy game. Now I can just hop in whenever I need a little taste of home!

Matur nuwun, Stairway Games! Semoga makin sukses!!

The game is incredible and you've worked so hard! It's been so wonderful to see it develop and now be able to get stuck in during Early Access, I've not been this excited about a game in ages! I got my partner playing too and he agreed it's one of the most beautifully polished Early Access games we've played in a while, the love and hard work that went into it can be felt, it's such a wholesome environment. And finally a BIG thank you for how diverse and inclusive the characters are without feeling tokenistic - they're whole, believable characters. One very happy gamer here! 🥰

Many years ago I lived in Jakarta and playing this beautiful game is like going home! It brings back lovely memories and it is so obvious how much love and work has gone into this game already. I’m looking forward to all the future developments and can’t wait to play the finished game eventually! Well done Devs. Great job!

I took a break from the alpha so I would be surprised when it got early access. Such a good decision, I was please with the mechanics and the new characters and how polished it looked compared to when alpha first dropped. As someone who doesn't have access to culture and fashion from the ethnicities you've represented in CI, I'm super pumped to see a game that has a respectfully done non-western atmosphere. I can easily seeing this game becoming a cozy feel good favorite. Thank you for your hard work and dedication bringing this to life!

I have already thanked you guys so many times, written emails, written in Discord, etc. However I JUST caught a nod to another dev from the man, himself, that single-handedly brought sim games back into popularity. I'm kind of embarrassed it took this long to catch the nod. But the nod to ConcernedApe (by the mines) is just, absolutely FANTASTIC! And I just really appreciate the fact that you guys gave him a nod, if out of nothing else other than mad respect for what he accomplished.

Since day one of alpha I have been so amazed with each addition, each new character, new areas of the map, etc. Once this is fully released, and most of the major bugs are fixed, this (I am pretty sure) will be my Game of many years to come. So much respect to you guys/gals. 🫶 💜 💙 💜

I just want to say thank you so much. Thank you for such a beautiful game that embodies all the best of the cozy sim games we all know and love. Thank you for putting so much love into every little detail of this game. There's so much personality in everyone's homes and the characters are already so fleshed out and relatable. I actually want to get to know everyone! Everything is absolutely gorgeous. I'm a stickler for the aesthetics in games and you all absolutely nailed it. The gorgeous water and greenery to the shine when it rains. And the FESTIVALS, omg the cherry blossom festival killed me it was so beautiful. The town feels so alive and everything is just absolutely stunning. I could gush about this game forever, and I already do lmao. Cozy games are my thing, and already this is my favorite out of any I've ever played. It feels so pristine and refined, especially for being early access. The processing machines are actually cute (thank you?!), the diving is so unique and fun, the furniture is awesome, and there's so much to explore, I can't put it down. The passion put into this game is tangible, even the constant updates with Dev Diaries are so appreciated (and probably take a ton of time to write out!). You all have something seriously special and I can't wait to see where it goes with even more love and time poured into it. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK I CANT WAIT FOR MORE UPDATES! YOURE ALL AMAZING SilvTapsSilvTailWag

To all the beautiful people involved in the creation of this game!

I would like to thank all the hard work and passion that you guys have been putting into this game.

From the beautiful and detailed environments to the lively and entertaining characters and activities, everything it's amazing! I'm so happy that this game got released on early access, so the game can grow with everyone's efforts!

Thank you so much for creating this masterpiece, it's been of great help to me, especially with how my life can sometimes get a little hasty, always playing this game brings me the break that I need and couldn't find in other games, thank you so much!

I'll be waiting for the updates and full release with patience since I know it takes time.

Finally, it doesn't matter how long it takes, I'll wait with the same enthusiasm as day one! 💗

I’ve been following this game for a long time now, and I absolutely love the early access so far! Thank you devs and everyone involved for putting so much hard work and effort into this game. I know it’ll take time to implement future updates and content, and I’ll happily wait as long as it takes!

Hola! I don't post a lot on Discord, but I do want to say something quickly. I really appreciate this game and it's representation for the LGBTQIA+ with something as simple as the flag, or the unique characters. I know there are a lot of people who don't agree with it all, but it's a breath of fresh air to have some progression like that in a farming/life sim. Knowing these game developers are really here for their Queer audience as well as Straight is top notch. I can't wait to see what else is in store!

I would like to thank the devs for giving me Mark and making him a bachelor. It was such a weird annoyance to me that Harvest Moon (and stardew but I easily fixed that with mods) didn't have those rugged, buff bachelors. Love the game. Would absolutely waste weeks away by farming and decorating my farm like in Stardew. Can't wait for the final version and all the future content y'all give us. 💙

Joined the discord because I love the game so much, I got it within the last week after seeing Lilsimsie stream it and I have zero regrets. I love how much there is to do, especially for a game still in early access. SUPER excited for the full game.

thank you so much for creating such beautiful diverse characters. it makes my heart so warm to see dark skin black girls like me who aren’t a stereotype. I’ve been playing these type of games for 15 years. I wish you all much success so that you can continue building on the game. (Also I work as a producer at a game studio. If you guys need prod help lmkkkkk

Dear devs, I haven't played the game because I only have a switch for gaming right now. Take as long as you need, I'll be waiting patiently. Also, as a queer Indonesian, words cannot express how much I adore you for all your efforts and fights to make this game the way it is, and I wish I could give more than a simple thank you, but it's all I have for now. Thank you with all my heart.

hello devs!! thank you so much for creating this game ;w; i love every character design and how diverse everything in the game is, given that it's still in the early access and has a lot of bugs, i truly had no regrets purchasing this game!! thank u for creating Lily as well, she's a very lovely girl :3

To echo some other sentiments, thank you for your diverse cast of characters. The primary thing I tell people is that there’s a lot of PoC representation and it makes my heart happy to see it in a game. I’m just another white guy, but I love the diversity and inclusion!

To the devs:

Thank you sooooo much for this game. It is really fun and I even stopped playing Ark which is a big deal to me because I play that game everyday. I have been an admin on a server for 4 years and never once stopped playing Ark for another game.

Looking forward to the new content 🙂 ❤️ 🥰

Gonna sound like an echo chamber, but I figured I'd throw out my appreciation as well!

A big shout out to everyone who is a part of creating Coral Island, you've all outdone yourselves and it's still early access, which is saying a lot! I've a hard time with various stresses, overthinking, anxiety, The Big Depresso ™️ and more, and thanks to Coral Island, it's been a little easier managing all of the above. Might sound a little weird that a game could do that, but honestly it's such a therapeutic game with fantastic inclusivity, both adorable and beautiful art, visually appealing everything, that it stimulates and helps me an awful lot.

I'm very much looking forward to all the future updates and watching as this beautiful game and community grow. It's an honor to be part of all of this! Congratulations on such a wonderful creation and I'm looking forward to everything you'll be throwing our way in the coming days!

[Also, a special shout out for bringing in that glorious and beautiful man that is Raj. closestaring I love him so much, he holds a special place in my heart!]

Lots of love,
Ashe 💕

Just wanted to thank the Devs for so many hotfixes/patches so far, listening to their community, but also:
PUTTING A WARNING ABOUT FLASHING LIGHTS/ETC BEFORE STARTING THE GAME.
Just sat through 9 hours in another game discord fighting for the devs to even put out a PSA about their patch's new features causing all kinds of terrible things for people with epilepsy/photo sensitivity/etc and after all that, them barely acknowleding and calling it "discomfort"

You guys have put up a golden standard for how it should be and I appreciate all of you ❤️

There is so much attention to detail and love in this game and it really shows. I adore it already. You guys are doing amazing and I look forward to watching this game grow. You're a wonderful, talented, hilarious, and thoughtful group of people. I literally gasped when I saw the first festival, even in its unfinished state, and the little bench on the beach that swings when you click it? I giggled like a little kid and still grin when I pass it. It's the little things as well as the big that make a game really great. Thank you so much for your hard work!

Thank you for the amount of crazy details the devs put into people’s homes. There are always hints on their hobbies, personalities and cultural background.

I was just from Joko and Dinda’s house and was shooketh to see their kitchen. The legendary blue kerupuk can! The rooster bowl! The soy sauce and chilli sauce bottles - so well made I could actually name their brand .

The other day I was just from Suki and Alice’s house and it seemed like they were prepping a meal. Instead of having the toons just standing around or walking about the kitchen aimlessly, Alice was actually cooking and doing the dishes afterwards while Suki was… doing stretches in the background (?).

I love these details and how dynamic these characters are. There are always little details here and there that makes me go ‘Oh it does that! How cool.’
And of course… living in Bali myself makes this game just that much more special to me. Sukses terus Stairway Games 0_heart

Too bad that I'd not received any news of this game before during the Kickstarter, I'd definitely funded on this game. The game is so fine. The designs, mechanics, gameplays, and experiences it gives me. I bought this game 2 days ago and now I'd played it for 30 hrs already. (Really need to see the real grass now) Looking forward to the full release, it will be a blast for sure. Great work guys. I'm on your back.

Hello devs! I wanted to say thank you for how much love you've put into this game. I knew from the moment I kickstarted it that it would be something that I would enjoy but I absolutely love it. I have been talking about it to my friends since I finally got around to downloading it over the weekend. The npcs are all so unique in looks and personality and when I saw that one of the romance options very proudly showed off stretch marks I nearly cried. So much of Coral Island makes me think of the HOURS I put in into harvest moon for the n64 and It's a Wonderful Life. It's just so cozy and the music makes me feel like I've come home in a way. So thank you for everything you have done so far and I look forward to everything that will come next ❤️❤️

It was actually thanks to the game's pronoun choices and such that helped me realize I am Transgender not Nonbinary so thank you for also helping find out who I truly am!

I love this game so much, i could literally cry. You all have made something wonderful here, and I am honored to see it grow.

This is an amazing loveletter to OG Harvest Moon, to SoS, to Rune Factory, to Animal Crossing, to Stardew Valley (I especially thought the Monkey hat seller was an adorable homage to ConcernedApe)

The game is so so pretty, and so vibrant. You can tell how much time was put in to the details of everything, from the characters, to the map areas, to even how well designed and compact the chatacters houses are, like they're actual floorplans for actual homes!

Absolutely everything blows me away. I cant wait to see the finished product.

Thank you, devs. You've done an amazing job so far, and I hope your hard work is recognized. ❤

It was from Coral Island and its community that I got a new perspective on life. That the details that are taken for granted make life so meaningful. So many details being put into the game means the devs really made it with heart and it was really well delivered. I am very proud to own Coral Island and this community, and believe the game will become one of the best games of all time. This community will grow rapidly. Love and thanks to the devs and everyone who reads this. Not bad with these many words ❤️

Edit: I love reading all the emotional messages in this community, and will read as many as they can because they really touch my heart. My heart is really fragile 💔

I'm going through so much rn and finding this game has helped me find peace in a time of chaos. I'm grateful for being able to sit down and unwind. It feels like I found this game at the right time when I needed it the most. Thank you, devs, for creating it and giving people like me a place we could escape to when life gets rough. Appreciate you and this community a lot 💜🙏

I have spent hundreds of hours playing Stardew Valley and other farming sim/rpgs, but none of them have taken place on an island like one I’d love to live on, with an environment (the ocean especially) that I’d love to protect and improve. I absolutely love all the thought and detail that’s been put into this beautiful game, but special shoutout to diving and the undersea environment. I’m only 10-12 hrs in, but so excited to see how we get to interact with the undersea world you’ve created for us!! I’m a divemaster, mermaid instructor, freediver, all-around water person, and this is the most fun I’ve had in a game’s underwater world - possibly ever. Thank you thank you thank you, thanks for your hard work, I wish you all the best of luck going forward!!

Dear Devs,

Been playing the game since it came out and got all of my close friends to play with me! We've been hanging out at discord and trying to get to Rank C together. Without checking guides, we've made it so that we trying to get heart bingo on all the villager loves and likes and try to send good vibes. So happy to play the farming sim of my dreams and sharing it with my friends ❤️ ❤️ Thank you so much for this comforting and fleshed out game, looking forward to the next patch!! ❤️

Much Love from the PH 🇵🇭

Hi Devs,

Thank you for making this love letter to the Harvest Moon genre. I've spent the better part of 20 years playing those games... Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons, Wild Season, Stardew Valley, Terraria, Portia, etc. etc. You've taken the best of those games, HM64...Stardew, and in a field of copycats managed to create something unique and wonderful.

The scenery and character development is so creative and has real depth. The townspeople are multidimensional, just when I think I have a sense of a character I discover some new dialogue or cutscene that makes me think "Hmm... I need to get to know this person more to decide how I feel about them". When I first discovered there were 40+ villagers I was discouraged and didn't know how I would ever keep everyone straight, but four seasons in I've settled in to my new "home" and I think you made a great choice by creating a diverse community of characters that feels alive. You delivered the very real experience of moving to a new place and feeling overwhelmed... in a video game! It's incredible, honestly stunning.

The "psychical" world you crafted is so organic and feels really...real! I personally think the ocean cleanup storyline is brilliant and so timely for the new generation of gamer. I have never been a huge fishing fan in this genre and your fishing minigame is perfect, just the right amount of patience and skill required. It's actually fun and the fact that I am learning the splash patterns of different fish makes me feel like a skilled fisherman (silly I know), yet again not something I've ever experienced in this type of game.

What I personally am enjoying most is the minute attention to detail of gameplay mechanics. There's a thoughtful easing of what can be repetitive and dull actions (swinging a tool, character movement) that reduces player fatigue in a simple and brilliant way. I've never enjoyed harvesting, ranching, and gathering pixels more. I deeply regret not participating in the Kickstarter and cannot wait to see how the game continues to develop.

Sorry to write your ears off but I wanted to take the time to tell you, you guys are amazing, you've created something amazing, and I look forward to playing...and enjoying... Coral Island for years to come. Keep up the great work!

Love,

Lambymoo aka a new, deeply impressed, fan

P.S. - Please sell some cute merch so I can throw more of my money at you guys! XOXOXO

I bought this game a week or two ago. My worry was it would be too similar to Stardew but it's actually quite different. I loveeee the under sea exploring where you clear the area. I decided I'm going to wait until a few more updates push through but so far even in early development this game is a ton of fun and I'm really excited to see how it progresses Fox_Heart

I'm super busy with work and other things, so I haven't had the time to play. But the game is one I am looking forward to returning to once I have free time. It's fun and exciting, and so relaxing after a chaotic day. Even in this early access stage I love it, and I cannot wait to watch the development continue to unfold. Even now, before the full 1.0 release, the game is wonderful. I know it will only get better as we get closer to 1.0, but I don't want you to feel rushed! I am happy to go slow with the updates as long as you have a healthy game development. I like this game so much I will happily wait a long time to see it complete.

I don’t think I can properly express how much this game support the already frail backbone of Indonesian queer community, and I deeply thank you the devs for that, for giving us solace and an escape hatch while struggling day to day in place that is actively trying to eliminate us, thank you for speaking to any queer, but queer Indonesian specifically that “we got you and we see you”. I know haters out there, locals especially will tirelessly try to invalidate this game and I know how can be taxing that is to handle them. I’d like the devs to know that they fully have the support from other Indonesian queers + allies as well as international queers and allies. It’s only early access but we can already see how much love and effort is put into this game. So thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

Hey Dev Team, wavestatic

I just need to say thank you! Seeing this project on kickstarter was the beginning of the end for me in more ways than one. As a Harvest Moon enthusiast and subsequent member of the Stardew Valley fanclub, I was sold before knowing what I was getting myself into.

Even without the full implementation of character storylines, the world you’ve created is so robust and well rounded I feel as though I could book a flight and visit Coral Island for real! As a kid who grew up in Indonesia, playing the game and being in the world is like a HUGE nostalgia trip. Seeing the candi bentar, the penjors, the sampans, and not to mention all of the food references… goodness it transports me back to my childhood in a way I didn’t expect!

Thank you for creating such a fun game, even at the EA stage, I can’t wait to see what you guys have up your sleeves for the future updates and eventual 1.0 release. Keep up the great and tireless work! 👏 🥳

P.S. my favourite easter egg is seeing how many residents have ‘XYZ’ sos cili in their homes 👀 , the accuracy to real life is ~chef's kiss~

Hello everyone wavestatic , I want to say congratulations for 1 month anniversary of Coral Island. Hopefully, the development process goes smoothly without any significant problems in the future until the next update. Keep it up to developers & moderators at Stairway. Please don't forget to eat, drink and rest well; health matters too. goatlove2

I’m obsessed with this game. I play it almost everyday for way too long. I’ve stop eating and sleeping as I wait for the next update. Send help. I’m kidding. But seriously, I absolutely love love love love love love love this game. I picked up two other farm sim games (stardew and friends of something) and though I enjoy those for their own reason this is by far my favorite. Top 5 favorite of all time games. And it’s only early access. How amazing. I love you all, keep working hard and I’ll keep playing harder.

Dear Devs,

Ever since I saw the trailer for this game I have been waiting patiently for it and so when early access finally got released I got it straight away! I love everything about Coral Island 🥰🥰 the characters, game play and story. I don't really play farm sim games but there was something about this that caught my eye and I've fallen in love with it 🥺 ahem specifically rafae-. I'm quite busy as I have long 12 hours shifts 4 a week as I'm currently on placement in the hospital. I'm dead tired always but when I'm free I go to this game to relax. Thank you so so so so much for making this game, I appreciate you so much. I wouldn't know what to do during my free time without it! I'm excited for its future updates. Make sure to take care of yourselves and don't over exert 🤗 I will wait patiently for its full release.

Once again thank you all so much ❤️

Yours sincerely,
Kateng

Y'alllll????? This update is amazing. Im convinced the devs have super powers.

A few things:

  1. Thank you for rebalancing fishing, I had the worst luck trying to fish before. Now I'm having so much fun just trying to get new fish 🎣
  2. The redesign on the Sprinkler 1 watering jugs is adorable oh my god and so clever
  3. Wardrobe! Functionality! Oh my god! 👔
  4. Gifts for museum donations. 🎁
  5. I am adoring the indicators that tell you when something has been donated or not in your inventory. Bless 🙏
  6. Home calendar functionality!
  7. Farm animals 'pet' and 'milk' indicators is a godsend thank you so much
  8. Bug catching seems a little more rebalanced now; I was finally able to catch a black widow spider and while it wasn't easy, it was actually doable 🕷️
  9. The WIP tag to the Follow the Retreating Roots quest is much appreciated
  10. Proper Winter offerings! (But also y'all counted my previous C rank Fall-for-Winter offerings so I didnt have to start over. Thank you for how smooth that transition was ❤️ )
  11. The (I'm assuming WIP) dungeon boss things at level 40 of the mines look absolutely horrifying, 10/10. I can't wait to get my butt kicked

Honestly this is the first farm sim where I’ve been really conflicted on who I want to peruse romantically, usually it’s easy because the options are really cookie cutter but well done to devs for creating characters with personality and depth, and all being different. All the characters as a whole are really well done and I really love that about this game ❤️

I was waiting for this game since I saw the trailer for the first time, and it was quite a long time ago. Now finally I can enjoy, since my fiance got it for me for a Christmas present. I want to thank you guys for such a great work, such a fantastic game and such an amazing time I'm going to spend on a Coral Island ❤️

Ps. Really weird question, but by any change were you perhaps thinking about adding a fun alternative for a horse like an ostrich? I'd love to see them as an option for riding around - kind of closer to real world Chocobo 😄

Keep up the good work 😄

I’d just love to shout out the developers of this game, but also the community moderators.
As someone who has experience with Early Access games, I’m constantly blown away by how receptive the developers are for the community input of this game, not only on game issues, but just the community in general.
Like, one time I had a really bad day and a CM of this game reached out and made me feel like someone cared.
That is astounding, especially for such an amazing game.

Thank you for making this lgbt+ friendly game, even though this made by Indonesian (imo, one of the worst place to lived for lgbt+). There is alot poor and sad lgbt+ in Indonesia due to how harsh people here to us, most of us get bullies, we hardly get a job and there is a group of religious extremist that think we must be kill (only lesbian that lived happily, most straight here have double standart to lgbt+). Most of us live in hiding or wearing 'straight mask' or live like somekind of bad alien. Love you developers and all Stairway staff.

Another Indonesian queer thanking the team for everything the other indo-queers have said before. Never change, you guys are doing great 🙏 Also, gameplay-wise, it way exceeded my expectations.

I was hesitant because of the amount of bugs, and people mentioning unstable game-breaking stuff, I'm grateful that my gameplay has been smooth (though I've encountered bugs .. alot more than other early access farm games), but considering the huge amount of NPCs-not to mention ZERO loading screen when you go across the map, and oh, the variety of the things you can do (bug catching??? BUG CATCHING??? AND DIVING???) what a treasure of a concept.

I'm happy that the dev of this game has huge support too. I am looking forward towards the full release. 🙂

I just want to say now that yesterday was my first time really being able to play this game since I got it and this has quickly become one of my favorite games. I played so many hours last night after work that i woke up, loaded it up to play more and hadn't realized that I was already on spring 20. I love this game so much. There's so much to do that not only do i not have a hard time finding things to do, I struggle with deciding how to spend my day and my energy.

Thank you for all the love and effort you have put into making this game what it already is.

So when the new year came around, I was finally able to download and play Coral Island for the first time. For me, it's such a bless to know this game and reminded me when I first played the farming sims game during my childhood. So far, I've been through about more than 30 hours enjoying Coral Island that I've lost on track to sleep (and some real-world stuffs to do, sometimes). There are still a lot of things that need to be fixed and improved, but I believe Stairway team can get it done to fulfill our hopes for playing a relaxing game while enjoying a quiet life (maybe) on an magical island with a lot of beautiful & wholesome things inside of it.

Thank you, Stairway Games and all of players for playing and supporting this game with so much exposures and feedbacks. May the development process will go smoothly so we can enjoy many new upcoming things soon in the near future. Remember to always take care of yourself because health matters too. Eat & drink healthy, exercise regularly, and rest well. Happy New Year 2023 to everyone and wish you all for many good things happen in our lives, and always give thanks for everything we have.

(Originally posted in the wrong channel—sorry!) I also wanted to say thank you and kudos to the creators. I started playing last week and just bought a copy for two friends for their birthdays and we all can't get over the tiny quality of life details. Little things like having open hours on the map, being able to jump over fences, the icons saying if you've donated or not. The variation of characters is amazing, and the artwork is stunning. Even in Early access it's an incredible game and the community you've fostered here is so nice. Fantastic job!

I’ve been waiting for the game to come out for about 2 years, my husband surprised me by gifting me this on steam the other day and I haven’t been able to put it down.. (24hrs in one week 👀)
This games graphics are AMAZING and the characters are actually different than other farming sims I’ve played and I love it.
I love that a mom body was added in with the stretch marks, the shy blacksmith is adorable, I love the goofy safari couple and the hippie who loves shrooms 😂

The deeper into development this game goes, the better it’s going to get and I’m so excited! I know there’s someone writing cutscenes and character dialog, I can’t wait to get to know the characters more and start learning more of their backstory 😊

Also, huge props on all of the QOL improvements that people have complained about in previous games like this.. Showing the characters on the map so you know where they are, the store hours sheet with everything listed instead of having to hover over it on the map or run to EVERY store. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fishing in this game, the mini game for it is actually fun, it’s not extremely hard for noob players, but also not boring for players who know what they’re doing ❤️ Then having the two buttons under each item showing if they can be donated to the museum or added to the goddess bundle instead of having to save one of everything JUST IN CASE you need it 🙄

TLDR: Amazing Characters, Graphics and Gameplay, just (in)patiently awaiting more updates on dialog because I’m a sucker for relationships and stories. bearwiggle

I was not really into farming games before as most of them are boring and doesn't just stand out to me but Coral Island is a game changer like Sarah Sunstone said, a coral island gamer youtuber, she's having a hard time recommending other games to her audience because Coral Island has become her standard when it comes to cozy farming games and I completely agree with her. With the characters in the game, they don't feel like they're NPCs but rather a friend or you'll learn so much from them. The dialogues are also very interesting and culturally involved. I usually skip the dialogues from other games but in Coral Island, I found myself so engaged in interacting with other characters. It's like they're crucial to have your character grow in the game. I also like the features that the artifacts, foods, and items are not just random but it's based in real life and other culture's delicacy.

No game has made me feel this excited and give admiration. I hope you guys will continue to make a fantastic job in developing the game that I'm sure you guys will!

Thanks to the developers for reviving my appreciation for farm simulation games. I hope they continue to produce this game with a lot of love and dedication to details, even if it requires more time for release.

My message to you: "Dedicate the effort to the quality of the game, put secrets, dialogues, stories. Because what I see most daily are games that launch their products in any way just to meet a deadline and in the end it ends up being something boring and monotonous"

This is such a good game. Hints of Stardew and Animal Crossing - but blended with gorgeous hand-drawn characters and diversity! (Looking at you Stardew, yes I use a diversity mod when I play it)

Recently realized how queer I am, and just seeing the rainbow flag made me feel so good.

The 3D models are all really really gorgeous too. I'm having a great time with it so far, and I bet the next few updates are going to be just as stellar 😄

Thank you for all your hard work Devs!

I asked for this game for my birthday in December after waiting excitedly for months, and it's one of my favorite new titles. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ I've been playing while handling some work stuff, and having something calm to do with my hands and lizard-brain makes the read-aloud function on MS Word so much more accessible to me. Thank you, devs!!

this means so much to me 💙 So often(in videogames as in reallife) you are being made responsible for all the tasks etc and so little actually ask for your consent etc. and its just expected of you. Small stuff like in this screenshot just makes me feel fuzzy inside and extra cosy while playing, so thank you for that, devs <3

Thank you devs. This game is incredible. I mostly lurk in the discord, but I backed it on Kickstarter and bought another copy for steam, so I could play early access. Your version of early access is better than most finished farming sims, top to bottom. I've been playing the genre since Gameboy harvest moon, and I think CI is becoming my favorite, of all time.

And the rainbow flag on town hall means a ton. It makes me feel safe and cared about when a lot of the world currently doesn't.

So, thank you. Thank you for pouring yourselves into a game that means a lot to very many, and will continue to do so.

Thank you for creating such a lovely and immersive game world, filled with delightful NPCs. The good folks of Coral Island feel like real people, cheerful and a bit surly, introverted and extroverted, energetic and chill. When one of the townies gives the player a quest, I want to help them. When I look around Coral Island, I truly buy in to the idea of making it a better place to live. I don't feel like I'm grinding through a series of tasks to level up or complete a game. Thank you, devs, for giving us all a reason to root for Coral Island and its residents. 💙

Thank you for making this game. For me this game has been so needed. In our current world most games use so much violence. It is nice to have a game that focuses on bringing life instead of taking it. Ever since I started playing this game I have been hooked. I have even played this over my Hogwarts Legacy game so That should tell you how impressed I am with this game. I

Also I just want to say I have played Rune Factory games and Harvest Moon Games for a long time. yet they all seem to have something missing. Something that I think you found. I do not know what it is but when I play Coral Islands I just get so much peace from it. I am not sure if it is the characters or the art style but this is truly one of the best games I have ever played.

Knowing this game is still in development fills me with hope for what is to come in the future. Keep it up Devs.

Just wanted to say a big thank you for the fast turn around on the patch fix to address the beta version crashing problem with the quest menu.

I just want to say, I am so blown away by the quality and just how much there is in this game already . I've sunk well over 200 hours and can't stop. I'm so impressed playing a game that from the sounds of it isn't anywhere near completion. Despite being in Early Access stages, it already blows a fully released sim game I had bought a few years ago out of the water in terms of charm, quality and content and I just can't stop thinking about that. Thank you so much for this beautiful game, I'm looking forward to everything you continue add to it, thank you so much for all of your hard work, inclusivity, community engagement and transparency. love

Thank you Team Stairway for making such an amazing and user friendly game. The time progression dial has been a HUGE help for my mental health. I have anxiety and can be a bit of a perfectionist... With other games like this, I constantly felt rushed and would freeze because I would try to optimize my day to do the most I can. The start of every game day felt so daunting as I had to carefully plan my every step as to not waste time. It led me to putting those games down and feeling very guilty about my anxiety... I've turned time progression in Coral Island to 50% and there is a LOT less anxiety as I go about my day now! I feel like I can actually relax and take my time doing activities. It has been so helpful. Thank you for making this feature available peepolove

I bought the game 2 days ago and I really fell in love with your work. I saw a video on tiktok about C.I and now I've been spending my nights with these amazing characters on this amazing island. Thanks so much for all your hard work! Here looking forward to the next news! ❤️

I just wanted to pop in a thank you for creating and working on such a beautifully indepth and amazingly designed game. Im chronically ill and spend a lot of time in bed and this game really makes me happy. There is so much to do and see and explore. Im definitely behind a lot of people but i think thats because im actually wanting to develop relationships more so. I backed this game in hopes that the art style and animation would work for my eyes. I really appreciate and thank you so deeply for bringing a game in that I can play even on my worst flare up days! Thank you❤️ (note my boyfriend brought me a steam deck and I am looking forward to being able go play it on there too)

Thank you devs for making the music available for purchase blobheart I'm a teacher here in Malaysia and I sometimes use background music for my class when the students (age 10-14) need quiet time to do their work. This week I could use my favorite tracks - Town Day 1 and Town Night 1 as background music in class and the moment the students heard the gamelan in the first track, their ears perked up.

They asked about it and I told them it was from Coral Island! I showed them some pictures of the characters and it sparked great conversations about diversity in games.

Thank you devs, and especially Yugo Pratomo for helping to create this special moment with my students!

Stairway Games,

I have spent the last few days over 29 hours playing this game and I continue to be amazed that this is early access, let alone v0.3 - I know there is a lot of work ahead, but I don't often have as much hope and faith in a studio as I have in you guys! It's truly a beautiful game, a beautiful message, and I can't wait to see more! Especially the animations have caught my attention, because other games that I've played that are similar, have not had such high quality, but the same could be said for the writing, the worldbuilding, and level of engagement.

With all of the luck in the stars,
Rose

I have played an insane amount of farming sims, and I am convinced that this is by far the best one I've played ever! Not only is it a gorgeous looking game, but the game oozes charm. And it keeps making me come back to it every single day! But when I saw this...this right here. This is when I knew I was in for something incredibly special.

Basically, just saying thank you for this experience and I hope nothing but the most successful launch for the entire team!

Thank you for creating this game. General expressed frustrations aside, we do notice the amount of love and effort that went not just into the game but into fostering a welcoming community.
Every character in this game is so thought out and has so much depth, we are continuously in awe. The way the devs are so responsive to our feedback also doesn’t go unnoticed.

Just know we see your efforts and love you for it. Thank you! 🫶🏿

I wanted to take the time to personally thank and appreciate the development team for all the hard work they're putting into this game and all the attention they're giving us players in fixing bugs and listening to feedback, all the while keeping in line with their vision of the game! I wish I could say more, but I'm not always the best at expressing my emotions... what I do know is though, I've played 460 hours in Strawdew Valley. One of the top most played games by myself and the highest in farming sims and I would still personally classify this as my favorite farming sim over that. The love and care put into this game is clearly felt and it has such a beautiful charm to it~ I am eagerly (but patiently) awaiting the summer update~
(Also afterthought - I like how Aaliyah is in the Air Force, since I was also in the Air Force!)

Thank you guys for making this game. I think I saw an ad for this game about 2-3 years ago on facebook, and I was glued to the public release date ever since. I bought it the day it came out on steam.

I don't normally like farming sims, and when the game released, I had completely lost interest in video games. But this game just has me addicted.

I love this game so much. It might be my favorite farming sim because I feel represented. I live in a little seaside town that's currently dealing with pollution from a sudden tourism boom so the ocean conservation theme is near and dear to me. And the people look like people I know. Sunny looks just like my grandpa. I can tell the game was made with so much love. And that really comes through. You guys are the best!!!

I just want to take the time to thank the whole team for such a wonderful experience so far! You always respond quickly and thoughtfully to bug reports. And it's very clear that you all love Coral Island and want it to be a fun experience. 😄

I just started a new save file and realised that some characters have location-dependent introduction dialogue. Location-dependent dialogue for something the Player will only see once! What careful attention to detail. Stuff like that really increases immersion and shows how much you all care!

Thanks!

Just popping in to say that I hope none of the bitterness in the chats over Agung make you guys forget what a phenomenal job you guys have done with the romance roster for this game. There are 28 dateable characters, each completely fleshed out with unique personalities, touching backstories, wants, desires, weaknesses, and concerns. They each have a diverse wardrobe for each of the seasons and dialouge specific to each and every festival. Speaking of diversity, you have easily created the most diverse and inclusive pool of dateable characters in any farm sim game ever. And even with the merfolks you already are giving us 1 more than you said there would be.

Point is, you all have clearly put so much time, effort, and love bringing the characters that David created to life, I hope you don't let people spouting off their disappointment make you you forget how much you have already given us. It's far more than any similar game before. If you all want to do something with Agung, you go ahead. But please don't do it because people act like you tricked them or whatever. You have given us so much already, and this game will 100% be the best version of itself because of the love you put into it ❤️

Hey Devs, just came to say that I played a lot of -Early access games- and none have the support and love that Coral island have, you’re pretty informative and you really deliver results, I know it’s not as wholesome as some of this comments, but for me that truly show how honest and dedicated you are, thank you devs

I know I've written one like 2 weeks ago, but I can't fit all of my thoughts about this game into one message!
This game is the first farming sim I've ever played, and I'm so glad I found it. I found it through YouTube back in October I think and finally bought it on December 21st. It was super easy to figure out, and I felt like I knew exactly what I was doing from the very start.
All the characters are so diverse and have their own pros and cons, interests and opinions, and if I didn't know any better, I'd think they were all real people! They all have so much personality and I'd never seen that before in any other game. I felt like I was able to relate to some of the characters and like I was having a real conversation anytime I spoke to any of them, which felt great for me, a completely introverted person 😅
I've become very invested in the game and the story, and it's all so fun to figure out! Saving the island, talking and interacting with all the characters, diving, fishing, bug catching, and even just exploring the whole Island is so fun! ...Huh? Farming? What's that!? 🤣 I've gotten so caught up in all the other stuff the town has to offer that I barely farm, and I've yet to complete that one quest for Sam that you get towards the very beginning. There's just so much to do!
I also don't feel rushed to do anything. I like taking games at my own, slow pace so I have time to explore or talk with the characters around town, but I find in a lot of games there are constant deadlines and time limits. I don't find that often in Coral Island. I don't have to do anything important within a specific amount of time, and I can do whatever I want instead of having to finish something up immediately.
Coral Island is easy for beginners to get the hang of, has so many unique, realistic characters, full of fun storylines and events, and you're able to take the game at any pace! This game is truly amazing, and so is the hard work, dedication, and love you devs have put into it! Thank you, truly, for making such an amazing, incredible game. There are definitely some cons, but it's great for a game in early access. Love you goatlove2

With the latest reveal of the final romance lineup, I want to sincerely thank the Devs for offering the Merfolk as romance candidates, because it’s rare to see games of this genre to allow us to romance mermaids/ expand on the idea and world of mermaids! Semeru is very attractive, the Princess is unique, and my heart is fluttering with joy at the sight of Denali! I am also grateful that Denali has been made romanceable, as I’ve fallen in love with her design after so many promotional artworks with her. With around 11 official artworks / wallpapers so far featuring her, including in the backdrop when you open the game (Agung only has around 6 official artworks in comparison, but I did hope he was romanceable too), it did feel like she’s the poster mermaid with an iconic design, and I want to express gratitude for making such a beautiful, charming, and wonderful character romanceable! Denali was the character that made me buy the game; I can’t wait to see what the game has to offer, and please take your time with the game! The staff has been so hardworking, and the effort can be seen in the game! If there are any delays required, take your time to craft the game with love and quality! Once again, thanks so much Devs! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

The more I play this game the more I love it 🥰 I adore getting to know the characters and discovering that I get along with them better than I‘d originally thought (eg thought Chaem and I wouldn‘t get along that great since I‘m the polar opposite of a jock but she‘s grown on me sm). The game sends such an important message with the reminder that it‘s important to care for our oceans (also love the charity dlc, it‘s so incredibly fitting) and honestly diving might be one of my favourite parts of the game 🤣 Also think it‘s so cool to see all the little cultural tidbits and inspired game design! I seriously haven‘t been this excited about a game in a long time, keep it up ❤️ (also major props to the team members who take care of the bugs and crashes channels, you guys are amazing and show just how much the devs care about the community aspect of game developing!!)

It's the details, the emphasis on creating a better world, good people, and everything is just so beautiful. Thank you so much. Coral Island has been my place to retreat to when the real world is just too much. I look forward to the updates and many, many hours getting to know the characters and places. Bravo!!!

I really want to give a big hug and shout out to the Community Managers and Team for the effort that they've put into the Discord and providing a place of transparency for me as a player and a Beta tester. I have only posted a handful of times, but speaking directly to a community person and being heard helps a lot. Having a roadmap communicated to me is tremendous. I have great expectations being met constantly by the dev team and communicated to me by an excellent community team. I love that I can come in and easily find anything I need in the Discord, and that the posts on the website help echo this information. Please take a moment to be extremely proud of your efforts and continued impressive work. I've never been more proud to back a project in my life! ❤️

Among dozens of great farming sims that are available right now this one just hit all the right spots for me. Fantastic and clean UI, great graphics and artstyle, wide variety of interesting characters, tons of stuff to collect that perfectly scratch that completionist itch, easy to navigate and big map, ability to change the length of a day, the super-cozy tropical setting and much more. It just has it all and after playing through many games from this genre I can already confidently say that this one is closest to perfection for me. Big thanks for all the hard work to the developers. Seeing how you guys interact with community and act quickly on issues is yet another reason why this whole thing is so awesome. Looking forward to all the future updates for this game and anything else the team decides to create in the future!

Having played, and left, the Palia server, I'm really thankful that you guys had an #🌈lgbtq chat room from the start. It blows my mind that other games refuse to allow such a room. But enough about them. The fact that you stuck with the room and have actively cared about the LGBTQ+ players on this server speaks a lot of volumes about the game. I'm grateful for that.

I just want to thank everyone working on this game - I just moved 10000km from home for my Masters, and one thing that's helping me feel less anxious is this game. I am really grateful for this development and for the devs and artists working on it. It's really cool and I'm learning so much about cultures very different to my own (I'm from South Africa originally)

Thank you devs for creating such a beautiful game. It is so nice to open this up when I’ve had a long day at work and feel all my tension from the day melt away because I have such a peaceful environment to dive into. The sound mixing, the music, the visuals, it is all just so calming. Thank you thank you!!

After looking into your history, company culture, and the Coral Guardian cause...I am so impressed! You all really seem like you're trying to build not just an inclusive environment, but a compassionate one. Coral Island isn't just a fun game to play, it's become a beautiful way to increase coral conservation efforts, something I don't think any of you could've seen coming. Thank you, devs and all teams across Stairway, for committing yourselves to being better than the rest of the industry. I truly think it shows in the game you're building. ❤️

Well Dev's, I have officially collected every Fish, Critters, Insects, Gems, Fossils and Artifacts. I have fully healed the Coral Reef and || Banished the roots surrounding my island ||, I've become one with the || Merfolk || and I have fully completed the Lake Temple. I am very eager to carry on my journey on Coral Island but sadly I must be patient for more updates. What I'm trying to say is, I love your game so much that I've already completed the museum and Lake Temple and now I have to wait until you guys release more updates so i'm stuck shaking in anticipation for the next update ;D I really want to become best friends with the whole town, finally be able to marry Alice and play the rest of the mini games at the festivals. You've done an amazing job so far, so please keep up the awesome and amazing work because I look forward to seeing the rest of the game and finishing it to 100% completion : )

I just got diagnosed with MS and haven't been able to do anything for the past month while I've been sick. This game has honestly given me something positive to focus on while I'm not able to work/live an outside life.

Hey devs! I only started playing yesterday but just wanted to quickly say how CUTE the house repair cutscene is around the beginning of the game. It's just a little thing but seeing the player sit and talk with Dinda and Joko on the rug in between tidying was so sweet. It's indicative of the attention to detail you've put into this game to make it feel extra cosy. Anyways, back to playing! goatlove2

Just wanted to drop my own thanks! I've been playing coral island a lot for the past month and it's such a comfort. I can feel the love the devs put in in every detail - so many animations that we technically could have done without, but add a very sweet flavor to the world, the characters personalities and dialogue (So. Much. Dialogue! I hardly ever see them repeat themselves), the art and music are gorgeous. The game as a whole brings a nice modern feel while retaining the comforting aspects of farming sims. I'm just really impressed! I hope y'all read this channel and feel the thanks and love everyone has to offer you. All of y'all did a wonderful job!

A year ago, an indie developer released a vibrant & laid-back re-imagined farm life sims games set on a tropical island inspired by the classics that supports environmental awareness & diversity. It’s been such an incredible roller coaster journey to see how it has grown significantly which makes me didn’t expect such a huge & swift development from this amazing game.

Unceasingly, I would like to give my deepest gratitude for the entire passionate developer team who have worked so hard to create this wonderful cozy gaming experience. I really appreciate your dedication to constantly updating, fixing and digging & diving deeper into the game’s potential; and your creativity that has given its player a lot of happiness, adventure and challenges throughout the year and that’s truly reflected in every detail of the game. I also feel grateful for joining & knowing the community who always support the game by sending valuable contribution like feedback & ideas which has helped refine the game for the better ,don’t forget about the shenanigans you gave to make the community livelier and more chaotic.

I’m always supporting the game and feel so excited to see what comes next from the developer team. Take as much as you need to polish the game and please remember to always take care of yourself too; eat healthy, stay hydrated and rest well. Hopefully it can bring more exciting content, new features & improvements, and more chaos pleasant surprise to the players. May more and more players join to live these exciting colourful life and adventures together.

I cannot give enough thanks to everyone who worked on this game! I am constantly blown away by the constant communication and clear road map on what is changing and what to expect. I felt that every little feedback recieved was carefully considered and implemented in a way that benefited everyone. Even though I mostly lurked , I have never seen a more kind and cozy community than this one. I have put 100s of hours into this game and I cannot wait to do 100s if not 1000s more.

You can truly feel the love that was put into this game. I can honestly and confidently say that this is my absolute favorite game. I have been gushing to my friends for a whole year and hope they enjoy it just as much as I do. heartspark from the bottom of my heart thank you for everything!

Ps. I shed some tears watching to 1.0 trailer. bunCry im just so happy for the release.

I've wrote a billion of these, and I plan to write a billion more 😆
December 21st, 2022, I had finally bought the game after months of contemplating whether I should get it or not. When I started up the game, I spent at least 30 minutes working on my character and when I finally did finish, I was amazed by the whole thing. Between how beautiful the game itself was, the music was and the characters were, 😉 I was so surprised by it all, and when I finally got to meet Pablo, I knew I was 100% in love with his kind, romantic personality xD and it quickly became my new favorite game.

Now, 10 months later, we're getting a full release date. We're months away from dates and hangouts, less than a month away from romance and children, and I'm so happy that I got to be here to see how amazing this game would become. If I was mind blown by the game before we got the spring update, I know that I'm going to be taken aback by how amazing full release is going to be. This was my first farming sim, and so far it's probably the best, and I can't thank everyone enough for the memories made in the past 10 months mostly due to my Pablo obsession xD because of this game.

Thank you everyone who put so much hard work, love and care into this game and this community, you're all so nice and amazing and I'm so thankful that I've come across such an amazing game made by such awesome people. Please continue to put as much love and hard work into this game as you have in the past, but please remember to stay hydrated, get some sleep and eat healthy, and take plenty of breaks (and naps, of course) like Lily suggests here! #🐦coral-tweet-feed message 😉 Love you all! ❤️

Wanted to reach out and say thank you to everyone involved in the creation of this incredible game. Watching the 1.0 trailer brought so much excitement and emotion as someone who has watched development of this game since the beginning and I thought to myself “this is MY game, this game is meant for ME.” Playing the early access versions had show me everything I’ve wanted in a game and brought me peace of mind on stressful days, and it was something special I consistently looked forward to. Thank you devs for all of your hard work and making something absolutely special for our communities vsleadLove

Thank you so much for making this highly interactive and inclusive game tackling very relevant issues we're currently facing. It was an easy 500+ hours which is twice more than I've spent playing stardew. It has such great UI, storyline, and character development. It showcased such a multicultural background of townspeople. Dev's I'm so sorry I missed supporting you in KS but I applaud and congratulate you for such a well-made game.💯 Even with the bugs and crashes, gameplay was still playable in low-resolution, and fixes & patches to user issues were answered swiftly. You guys kept it up even with beta deliveries and we really understand the time crunch when the community tried to work out the version release dates.😂 I can't thank you enough for this new game for me to chill and relax to after work. Also a game for me to endlessly adopt my furbaby and keep more digital memories of. Much love! More power! Keep Safe, Stay Healthy and Happy for all. approve2 💖 💖 💖 goatlove2

I missed the KS but would absolutely throw down money for any future DLC or purchaseable content to support you guys. Much love.

Ok this might make ya’ll laugh but I gotta say, so I bought the game when I was heavily sick. Like stuck in bed for two weeks sick and could barley sit at my pc but coral island let me play from bed and it was simple and it was the best thing ever. I love this game so much. Ok so this is where it gets funny I guess- After recovering I got drunk like two nights in a row (curse the mtn dew hard drinks) and I been playing my jam list and playing the game and the amount of times I cried, laughed and have enjoy this game why drunk off my ass has been a blast, besides the bugs here and there. I wanna thank the devs for making this game cause its making me go to bed with story ideas of my character and her (I wish to be) husband and friends and making stories and making me smile. My drunk/sick ass thanks you so much cause it helped me get better and have fun!

I've kind of always been wishy washy about farming sim games. I enjoyed them, but didn't sink nearly as many hours into them as others. I remember seeing someone talking about a tropical island farm sim years ago and when I found it on kickstarter, I knew it was gonna be that game for me. Even though I thought I would wait until multiplayer, I couldn't help myself when Alpha arrived.

I've never been super talkative, but I have peeked in with more and more frequency over the years. Watching things change over updates, watching the layers of details get added (and sometimes reworked!) has been magical.

When early access released there was a lot of discontent, and a lot of questions about whether or not it was good enough...but you all kept going. Kept adding. Kept changing. Kept pouring your passion into the game and week by week, month by month, year by year it has reaped rewards.

One thing I love about the community is how it is equally unabashed in its love as it is willing to share unvarnished constructive criticism. So many times, the company has listened and tweaked. Sometimes not everything has worked. Sometimes the community has felt unheard by the powers that be.

But there you are, still showing up. I hope you still believe in your game, because I do. I'll be here, playing and rooting for you.

Thank you, devs.

I know I've already said thank you but after playing every day since release I just want to say it one more time- THANK YOU DEVS!!!!

I've followed this project since it was first announced, even backing it when I could, and I am not disappointed!! Everything about the game has been pretty solid, and 1.0 is the perfect base to allow the game to sprout into something even more amazing!! ❤️❤️

Thank you thank you thank you devs!

Devs. Being someone who played this since day 1 of being in early access.

I have not been able to put down the game since 1.0 came out.
These kind of games have always had a special place in my heart. I started playing these when Harvest Moon came out. Every since these games have been a guilty pleasure.

Coral Island......is probably my favorite out off all the farming sims.
I played Stardew, I played Harvest Moon, I played Story of Seasons. This one just calls to me and I can't put it down.

The amount of stuff to be able to do in this game makes me so happy.
The fact that I can choose to "go mining" one day and go "sea diving" the next day.
Dare I say...hmmm I'm going to go "fishing, and bug catching today"
I love the fact that I can actually plan my day out in this game.
You guys did such a great job on this game! I look forward to all the updates coming in the future! I'm going to be a long time player of this game! goatlove2 goatlove2 goatlove2

Hi Devs!

Just wanted to send some love! I haven't played since last year so I was very excited to find out that 1.0 was releasing so soon. When I kickstarted the game I bought 2 keys so my husband and I could play and we have to say- no regrets! We have a newborn so we're going through the game very slowly but the game has been a winner with it's beatiful graphics and relaxing vibes. You can feel the love in the number of characters, events, and things to do. We're enjoying exploring the ocean, the challenge of bug catching, and building relationships. My husband adores the dog he adopted- always comments that Geddy (and all the animals you come across in town) are "good doggos". I enjoy the breadth of dialogue that happens when events occur (ie: upgrading the museum, before and after festivals occur, people commenting on the tree being healed) and fishing.

Anyways, I'm rambling but I wanted to say (since I've been reading and seeing a lot of comments with the release of 1.0 that may have been stressful) that in this corner of Canada, there's love for Coral Island. Your hard work is appreciated! And we've been encouraging our friends and family who enjoyed Stardew, Story of Seasons, Harvest Moon, and/or Animal Crossing to give Coral Island a try!

I just started playing and I have to say that I absolutely love the game. Everytime I experience something that reminds of Stardew it makes me smile but then when I find something new and improved it blows my mind. There are so many little design choices that your team has done that when I experience them I realize that this is what I never knew I always wanted when playing a farming life sim game. Can't wait to see what is coming next to Coral Island!

I'm sitting at 598 hours of play time, and I think that shows my love for the game considering how many options are out there. I've started countless farms in EA, deleted saves, started again, played on beta builds, and enjoyed EVERY SINGLE MINUTE.
Seeing the world progress from the early days til now has been a treat. I love how responsive the devs, mods, and fellow islanders have been throughout the process.
I am very excited to see the future roadmap stops be implemented along the next year (and years to come). I know they will be handled with care and quality. Looking forward to the hundreds of hours to come in this game. You've made something so lovely, and I can't stop raving about it. Thank you so much!

Hallo Devs~

I've said a brief thank you message but I found this channel and wanted to take the time to properly thank you for creating such a game that is able to keep me company when I'm struggling with anxiety or when I needed a place that allows me to be a virtual recluse. I'm Indonesian living abroad, so the game also has made me feel a lot like I'm home with the music, people, visuals, items.. So thank you so much for all of your hardwork. I've only got a few hours in but the game already brought me so many laughs and joy. I can't wait to continue to playing, share it with my Twitch community, and to see other things you have in store for us. MothLove

Congratulations to the devs on the full release! It's really cool that players that invested their time into this game can't use their old save data. I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision to shaft players that supported you through the development of your product but you made a call that speaks to what's expected of not only Stairway Games, but every modern developer as well.

Thank you devs and team for just.. doing your best! Mistakes happen and we all learn everyday! Fact you guys are doing your best to fix your mistakes and even care enough to listen to feedback and what not speaks volumes compared to so many other games. Keep up all the hard work and I can't WAIT to see what y'all do in the future! 💙🙇🏻‍♀️

Thanks for the PS5 update DEVs.Now, SFX sounds fixed (as far as I tested,not sure about ocean related sound fixed too as I’m still playing till 5 am and can’t test everything.Need to sleep for daily work ),no glitches and random fps drops in winter …I’m so fun 👏🏼👏🏼 and please keep up the good work !!! Cheers !! (A request if you can make animal sounds little louder and option to hide HUD in game cuz I’m playing with OLED and worry to get burn ins )

Thank you for the hotfix, especially the museum loading improvement! Going into the museum after the expansion was a struggle as it would always take so long to load in EA, and vast majority of the time I was only walking a few steps into the building to donate then peace out lmao. The game also runs much better on my computer now, I've been able to go from medium to high graphics with 1.0! I look forward to the next hotfix too 💖

Thank you devs For latest updates and fix’s. You have truly created a wonderful game. I will probably never go back to Stardew after this I’m having so much fun. Now I was disappointed in the launch on my console version that I own it really was for me unplayable not sure the condition now but i almost immediately switched over to the steam version and absolutely love it. The events, NPcs and seasonal changes, massive farm diving and bug catching are at the top of my list. I really do get fully immersed in the game especially playing at 50% speed. Im looking forward to the roadmap and continuation of game even if its paid dlc related. I truly hope you continue to work on this game.

When I purchased the game over a year ago in EA I remember looking at the roadmap thinking there’s no way in heck they’re gonna make this game. Y’all absolutely proved me wrong, not only did you make the game but things are so different from when I played in EA it’s amazing to see! I know things are particularly rough right now and y’all have a lot to fix and improve on, but after seeing where things began and where we are now I have full faith this rough patch won’t last forever.

I’d also like to say a bit of thanks when I picked the game back up during EA it was during a time where I was pretty out of it from the passing of my Nana and I was consumed with grief and just needing any form of comfort. I was able to find that through the lovely characters and story you created. Thank you so much, even though it wasn’t what you set out to do I’ll be forever grateful for the light you all provided during a really dark time ❤️

I'm going through a -lot- right now and having something this soothing and comforting to come back to really helps me. I cannot thank the Dev team enough for all they do to provide a wonderful experience for all of us.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. You are keeping me going right now, and I cannot express enough how much you all mean. Please be kind to yourselves, take time for yourselves, and treat yourselves with the gentleness you deserve. ❤️

Just want to thank the team again. I have been playing all of the farming sims for most of my life and my sister was never interested. This is the one game she has shown any interest in that aligns with me and she has over 100 hours. We get to talk about strategies and who we want to date, and it's basically a dream come true for me. I can't wait to play a multiplayer file with her!!! goatlove2 Stairway Games - bringing families together!

Thank you so much for developing this game!! I stumbled upon it through the Xbox game pass, and I’ve been playing it avidly ever since. This is the game I’ve spent the most time on so far this year — it hits all the right notes for me, and I’ve been recommending it to so many friends. I’ve played farming sims before, but the diversity, representation, characters, and even the variety of mechanics (diving and healing coral reefs?? Becoming a mermaid?!?) make this my favorite farming sim I’ve played by far. I’m particularly moved by how aspects of Indonesian culture and life permeate the game — I started to notice it with the foods included in the game, then got really excited when I saw Indonesian words and names (and that you can raise luwaks!!!). Having spent time studying bahasa Indonesia in Yogyakarta before, it made me so happy to see that, upon researching the game’s development team, that y’all are based in Jogja. To see queer and trans characters from a variety of ethnic backgrounds in a game that’s also so rich in Indonesian culture has filled me to the brim with joy, and alongside that, it’s so meaningful to see how responsive and enthusiastic the dev team is to the community. I’m so thankful for this game and everyone who has helped make it happen, and I’m so excited to see what the future of Coral Island brings in later updates. Terima kasih banyak!!!

I love this game so much! I appreciate the window we got on the devs' own journey making it, within the story of the game itself as well.

Y'all are probably sick of me by now, I've written 5 long thank you messages already mtapPanbatAHHH But I really, truly want to say thank you for creating such a great game that helped me get through the year! As of yesterday, the 21st, I've had the game for a year, and it's been an amazing one! I'm so glad I came across this amazing community and beautiful game!
I've really enjoyed getting to know all the many unique characters, progressing through the story, and getting to explore and discover the beauty that is Coral Island.
After full release, I can imagine there's been a lot of bug fixing and dealing with all the hate people have been throwing your way, but I want to just remind everyone to get lots of rest, stay hydrated, and don't let the haters get to you! Sending lots of love, and I wish you all happy holidays and a happy new year!! 🥳 Butter_Saranghae_Emoji 💖 🥰

I just wanted to say this game has brought me so much joy in such a short time. I bought it mid-December when I was in a slump about a lot of things, and it's brightened my life. I never thought I'd get to see my heritage represented like this, in a loving way, beautifully, like family, by people who clearly care so much about our history and all the good things that the world just hasn't gotten a chance to know. I never thought I'd get to see me in a cozy farming sim game like this, much less actually celebrated. Thank you so much, devs, Stairway. 🫶

My wife introduced me to this game- I wasn’t sure if I would like it as I’ve played a lot of farming games and have my chosen favs, but I immediately fell in love with it. This is a special, unique game with characters who feel more personal and memorable. The story is so good- and it’s more modern and fitting to real life issues. I am so happy y’all exist and work so hard on this game- we love it and appreciate all that you do! ❤️🪸🏝️

As a PS5 player I know the console release certaintly had more bumps then i'm sure the devs were expecting, but I do want to say I do greatly appreciate the work that has been done and is being done on all versions if the game. Despite the bugs I've still been reccomending the game to any friend who loves cozy games, and a big part of that is because the devs are listening to the community and trying to get bug fixes out as fast as the fix allows. Looking forward to more fun updates down the road goatlove2

So glad I came across this channel. I posted this (in italics below) a while back in Reddit and wasn't sure if the Devs saw it.
This is for you Dev Team. Thank you so much! I appreciate you!

*Just wanted to post a shoutout to the Devs for the love they put into the game.

  • I noticed that the sun sets according to the season. I mean, in Winter, it gets dark really early, around a little over 4pm I think? But in the summer, the days are longer. I've reached around 6pm and my illumination ring already kicked in, but there was still light out.

  • I also saw my reflection against the glass windows of my house (the house style where it looks a bit modern and has glass windows at the front)

  • During Winter when I walk on the snow, I see the footprints too.

  • I mentioned this in another post. I think the wooden sign is also very thoughtful. It was a pleasant surprise to see a decor with an actual use. For those who are interested - stake the wooden sign (craftable in the Craft menu) on the ground, hold something and click Interact, that item will display on the sign. I use the wooden sign to "label" my trees.

To the Dev team -- your labor of love is noticed. Thank you for these!*

I just finished cleaning the ocean, and can I just say thank you for the whole diving mechanic? It feels balanced, and progression was just right. I was able to upgrade my tools in line with how I went, and it had this satisfying repetition to it while having clear milestones that felt like such good progress. Just good design for me and something unique to this game.
I'm looking forward to more merfolk content in the future, but even without them, this was just such a joy for me. Kudos to the designers that made it feel just right. ❤️

damn imagine having such a unhappy outlook on life that you have to crap all over other people's kindness. No one ever taught you "Can't say something nice, don't say anything at all"? I know this is a family friendly server but c'mon even I learned that one in kindergarten. If you have feedback, there's a channel for it. Don't come in here and be rude just because you, what? Have so much misery in your own life you feel the need to spread it around. Get gone, honey, we don't want you here.
And devs, please ignore the trash, i mean, trash talk, you're doing great.\

clear brook
#

I don't understand why you had to come in here to spew insults after you left legitimately constructive feedback in the feedback channel. Saying that you love the game for what it could be while insulting the people who created the game that you supposedly love is trashy. You need to make up your mind about whether you love or hate the game. Better yet, don't say the quiet parts out loud

Honey, you can be upset that the game's not finished. Many of us are the same. That doesn't mean you should come in here and be mean and rude in a place meant for kindness and gratitude. It's not the done thing, and further it makes you look like the worst sort of person, no matter how well intentioned or reasonable your criticisms are. Sure, they aren't done, but it's nice to hear some appreciation for hard work while they're doing it. If you're so upset about that, then maybe take a look inwards first.

Thank you for making a game that spiritually embodies my love for the original harvest moon (now story of seasons) but made it better. A good farming sim, dating/town friendship backbone (and I'm excited to see what is added to the dating portion), a vast array of crops, trees, insects, and fish, and pretty entertaining (but sometimes infuriating) mini games. This game was able to pull me out of playing bg3, which is high high high praise. The art style is gorgeous, the music is relaxing (albeit sometimes it doesn't play), the game models are beautiful, the townies scenes are fun/hilarious/wonderful homages, the town and surroundings are gorgeously rendered, and the diving (and what's to come) all cumulates to a pretty terrific game as it is now. Excited for the updates, but definitely still enjoying everything as I build my farm.

Also I echo the wonder of seeing footsteps in the snow and sand, the different footsteps sounds, and overall handling of seasons (though hope more rain gets implemented). There's many small details that are wonderfully done in this game that definitely drew me in more than any other farming type sims in the market.

Thank you thank you

They interact very thoughtfully and I can tell a lot of love went into the cutscenes and dialogue writing, as well as for the art for all the assets in this game. It's quite fun too and a refreshing take on a genre I love with the content drawn from Asian cultures 😭 I love being able to make kimchi and tofu, forage for ginger, watercress and lotus, and grow rambutan and lychee!! The recipe list in this game is so amazing

Dear Devs, I wanted to say thank you. The O. G. hat is a silly easter egg to some. Yet seeing that in this game, after a decade of farming sims and all the innovation. The change of hands of who has the industry's crown, the rise of indie devs, and the acceptance of the lgbtq finally into the genre, to see that here in coral island, coupled with my first farming Sim hat I ever dawned brought a flood of tears from me that I can't rightfully put into words. I can't thank you enough for what you've done for your fans, for the genre, and for the lgbtq. It might seem like just a silly hat, but to me... To me it was my ability to look back at the nine year old holding my DS harvest moon for the first time all over again. Only now truly as myself.

Thank you,

A trans man -Elyse

I struggle with depression, and it's been worse over this very long winter (still snowing here). The lack of sunlight has really affected me. I picked up Coral Island hoping for a little ray of sunshine after watching a gamer I follow recommend it on YouTube, and it has been more than a little ray of sunshine. It has been the thing that has grounded me during these past couple of weeks (ever since I started playing it). All day long I look forward to my free time when I can finally play it, and I love the life and the personality in this game and in all of the characters who populate it. The sunshine in Starlet Town has filled a part of my soul with sunshine too, and I want you to know that I hugely appreciate all the love, care, effort, thought, and passion that has gone and continues to go into Coral Island. You have created a visually stunning, emotional, and deeply engrossing game that I will play for years and recommend to my friends. Thank you, also, for the introduction to South East Asian food that I hadn't heard of before. I am fascinated and I want to eat it all. A very special thank you for all of the pets and the utterly cute farm animals. I adore them all, and I squealed the first time I saw Bonbon and Taco. Thank you.

A friend told me about this game. I was hesitant to get it due to only being playable for me on a computer. After finding out I could use a console remote I decided to finally try it on steam. While the lag was horrible with a wireless ps4 remote, I found having an offbrand Switch remote plugged into my computer works well most of the time. I'm so glad I took a chance on this game as I am in love with it! When it comes out on Switch I'll get it for that as well so my kids can play since they're dying to play it themselves. Plus, if I ever get a ps5 I'll get it on that too. However, with that console cost I don't foresee that happening any time soon, but would buy it right away if it came out on ps4. That's how much I love this game. I can't wait to see how the gameplay will improve, and hope that there will be a way to rewatch cut scenes at some point like in Kingdom Hearts since my kids missed some of the ones I've managed to get. Keep up the great work!

Hi, devs!
I've been playing since the alpha with a code my mother-in-law got me off the Kickstarter, and I have to say, you have all done an amazing job. Coral Island is my favorite farming sim to date. And that's saying something, because I've been addicted to farming sims for over two decades now and have played all sorts.
Keep up the amazing work and don't let the impatient people and naysayers discourage you. Art takes time, and what is this game but interactive artwork, and a masterpiece at that. We believe in you. You're all amazing.
Thanks for giving me the absolute worst bi panic I've had in years. No, seriously.

Thank you devs AND discord mods for creating a community that won't bust out the pitchforks and torches when the update doesnt come out at the proposed time to the second, and instead is understanding that game design and development is complicated. Thank you for having a community that would rather say "we'll wait paitently because devs are working hard". That's a good community, and I'm glad to lurk here. Also the game is great.

Lo dire en español, les agradezco por crear un juego tan lindo, estoy fascinada y no paro de jugar, es muy adictivo y no lo siento nada pesado. Me encanta el arte del juego, la historia y como se enfocan en varias cosas al mismo tiempo, pero repito, sin hacerlo aburrido o pesado de hacer. ❤️

Thank you devs, discord mods and every hardworking employee that is working on this project, for your amazing work. Words can not describe how amazing your work is. You are doing everything possible to make the best possible game to us, and even when their comes tons of bug-reports in every day you keep trying to improve. I just wants to say, thank you for creating a space, where we can be safe to communicate about both the bad and the good. Thank you so much. I really hope that you are remembering to relax also, and not burn out. You are doing great, and we are supporting you.💖 Butter_Saranghae_Emoji

Falarei em Português, Obrigada devs 💛 quando foi anunciado o jogo eu pensei "ah mais um jogo desse tipo de fazenda" não vou jogar, mas depois teve atualização e eu dei uma chance e comprei, e não me arrependo em momento nenhum, o jogo é simplesmente incrível, completamente diferente daquilo que eu pensava, e se tornou um dos meus jogos favoritos, porfavor continuem esse trabalho incrível 🥹💛

Just wanna say thank you to the devs for working so hard on this game and being resilient through the worst of the fandom. I like that y’all take regular breaks and don’t burn yourselves out, and have SO MUCH planned for us! This game is clearly a labor of love and it shows in every tiny detail. You guys are much appreciated and thank you for creating a second home for us! 🩷

Just wanted to say thank you devs ❤️ I just started the game, but I can tell how much love and passion was poured into it. I am a 1st generation Asian American immigrant, and this game makes me feel like I found a little piece of cozy home in the farm sim world. This is the relaxing, chill game that I was missing! Thank you and PLEASE take care of yourselves with all the hard work you're doing!

Amazing game everyone, thank you so much for your vision, your art, and your work on this. It's brought me many many hours of simple peace & joy in an otherwise chaotic time in my life!

It feels like it was made by people who played every farming game from N64 up and loved every one as much as I do!

Can't wait to see what's next! 🤗

Hi Devs,

Thank you guys so much for putting your best in this game & allowing me to re-live my childhood (Harvest Moon!) but in an exciting way with new contents.

I will always be looking forward to all the new updates & waiting for the final version of the game. All the best guys, supporting you guys all the way!

Thank you😊 and an apology. For context I created second play through because I didn’t like that Wakuu left early and came home late thus no dialogue on certain days. However, I came back to that save because I finished the second save and wanted to finish this one as well. Summer rolled along and Wakuu stayed👀. There was a chance for dialogue. Funny, witty, dry humor. Well thought of that I was actually laughing out loud. Dialogue that was very much Wakuu. I still want more but I really appreciate this. I’m sorry that I didn’t give this a chance. I love CI. Thank you😊 for all that you do behind the scenes.

Hey, all of you, devs, mods, CMs, all you Stairway party people -- this is kind of weird (and a bit off-topic) but I want you all to know how much you spoil us. We have such clear communication between you all and us players. You set deadlines and you work hard to keep to them, as much as possible, and make sure the releases are as clean as they can be. You make this Discord server friendly and welcoming and the CMs especially do the live streams and the games that help foster literal community. The daily reports on what's been worked on show us that work continues and more awesome stuff is coming. Bugs are handled as quickly as possible. Play testing the Beta releases is always a great time; not only are we seeing new content but the response time to fix bugs is amazing!

The reason I gush like this is I recently tried out (sorry) another farming sim type game. It's been in Early Access for two years. Their Discord is so quiet. They aren't much on communicating with players, and they haven't updated their timeline in months. I suspect that game is going to be abandoned soon, and I'm sad for it (it's not too bad), but it really makes me appreciate more how much Stairway spoils their players. You all love this game as much as we players do. So rock on, and THANKS.

Thank you devs for making a diverse community in the game and not making the characters unbearably mean. I, myself, have a marine biology degree and am obsessed with marine animals and I'm glad there's a farming game that shares my same interests.

I also appreciate that you guys aren't rude to us when many of us ask the same questions over and over and are kind enough to answer our questions. I'm so excited to see the future of coral island and am extremely grateful to have found the game 🤍

It’s not the devs themselves (stairway). It’s their publisher Humble Games. I just hope Stairway can somehow jump through the hoops with their lawyers and get the backend permissions for the console versions so they can not only continue pushing updates for the console versions, but work and eventually release the Switch version. I’m calling this move a big “Pufferfish move” on Humble Games part.

Thank you the devs for all your hard work. I saw the logs and update, I can see you guys working really hard on the game and I know there is a problem right now. But I hope you know that what you’ve been doing is appreciative. I’m in need of a break and Coral Island is there for me. I love every minute of it and I will continue doing so.

Love y’all Butter_Saranghae_Emoji

#

Not that this space is the place for it, but you clearly don't even know what's going on. 1) No one said Switch is never coming. 2) If it wasn't coming, that's just the nature of Kickstarter and doesn't mean it was a scam. 3) ALL consoles are affected right now, not just Switch. 4) It was in no way Stairway's fault. Humble laid off like, everyone without telling anyone, and the devs only found out on social media a few days ago.

Please educate yourself before making gross statements, otherwise you look like a fool.

Thank you😊 for the update. Loving the story even more. It’s just the right amount of difficult and fun. You seem to be able to hold the players attention. At least this player. I am very grateful. I know there’s a lot of bugs and complaints coming your way. On the other end of the spectrum is this ambitious game out and being played by players enjoying themselves despite everything. I do hope you continue to have the resources and avenues to improve this game. May be come out with another more polished one in the future. Kudos to you all.

Amidst all the behind the scenes turmoil and set backs players are still playing (complaining) but still playing. Your formula worked. I sincerely hope you continue to do what you do.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HOTFIX DEVS 🙏🙏🙏 You guys are amazing for pumping out so many fixes in just a week, I'm super looking forward to testing everything out in the morning! Although I started playing much later in the development of this game (only about 6 weeks before 1.1), it's been so exciting to see things flesh out further and read the dev diary every day.

CI has quickly become one of my favorite games and I've roped many of my friends into playing as well just by sharing screenshots of my progression. It's so validating to see so much SEA influence and it makes me feel nostalgic about my own home island. The game means a lot to me and my friends - and beyond that it's just really fun to play. I can't wait to see what you guys have in the backlog 🫶 🫶 🫶

Trigger warning about pet death, just in case you want to avoid this one.

Hey devs,

bit of a long one. My parents live in a (admittedly much smaller) house with a farm, and they had an outdoor tabby cat I called Rugby. He was a street cat that basically adopted my parents -- he meowed super weird because he learnt how to do it as an adult, and since he was used to rough housing, he would tackle you to ask for pets. It's why I called him Rugby, after all. I live in a town far away, so Rugby disappeared from my life through a phone call.
Being able to adopt "him" in game, where he can still prance around the crops, has given me the closure I couldn't have when my sister called. It's stupid, it's not the same, and I know he's still gone, but this way I can remember the kitty who just wanted pets and roll around the soil we just prepared for planting tomatoes.

So, yeah. Not what you intended probably (since the game is so much more, and I honestly love it), but it's helped a lot. Thank you.

Hey devs!

I was randomly clicking thru the settings that I haven't looked at since installing the game. I have over 200 hours in my playthrough. Today, I found the option for dyslexic friendly font and I just genuinely cried. I've been playing video games with my dad my entire life. I've thousands and thousands of hours in hundreds of games. This is the first time my dyslexia has ever been acknowledged by a game dev team and I cried real tears to have such a small change brought to my favorite hobby. I had never even considered this as a possibility. I just accepted that I would always be slowed down to read text on screen. I already loved Coral Island, but this small toggle has truly humbled all other game devs for their empathy to their players. I'm utterly lost for words to explain how grateful I am for this option. This was one of the kindest things any game has ever done for me. The fact I can still play after a long day of work and not get a further migraine trying to read the text? I'm eternally a fan of this game dev team and I'll be following all future projects. Thank you.

been a while since I got into playing a widely recommended cozy game and got hooked INSANTLY and haven't gone a single day without playing since. even bought a freaking ROG Ally just so I can play this elsewhere, when not on my PC.

I love, love, love this brilliantly planned AND executed game, and the devs so much for coming up with it. when I encountered the bug this morning, the only complaint I had was that I was too down bad to play my save file and can't do it today LMAO

tl;dr tysm devs for one of the best cozy games I've played ever, and as a former dev I have so much respect for all of you. I'll prob start a new save file just so I can still play LOL

Dear Devs,

I wanted to say thank for your hard work on this title and all the things you keep doing to continually improve the game and make sure you delivered on your word.

I also wanted to say thank you for making a game that feels close to my SEA heart, not only in just looks, but also in the characters' stories. Takeba looks so much like my grandpa, and Betty, my grandma both of whom I love dearly and are no longer here. I'm glad that in some capacity I get to "see" them and say hi.

I was slightly dstraught when in the early days Takeba stops talking to you after a bit, but now he's back and it makes me glad. Even if he just keeps telling me about his favorite oven-baked risotto.

Thank you! :)

Hey devs, i can't speak english, but if you want read just translate (it's in portuguese)

Só queria dizer obrigado por esse jogo maravilhoso, cada vez mais vejo atualizações enriquecendo esse universo, este é um jogo que me deixa esperançoso que vai crescer muito, sendo sincero acredito que se vocês não desistirem dele ele com certeza vai passar o Stardew Valley (que eu acredito que seja o jogo mais famoso desse ramo), eu não estou jogando muito ultimamente pois to ansioso para lançarem o multiplayer e eu poder jogar com meu melhor amigo, e não quero spoilers, então por favor não desistam tão cedo dele. (sei que não tem nada a ver com o estilo de jogo, porém nos jogos de tema fazenda eu sinto falta de uma mecanica de combate mais elaborada, então se um dia estiverem pensando em colocar mais alguma coisa que inove dos outros jogos, acho que seria legal).

hello friends!! idk where to put this bc theres no place for islander appreciation that i can find so its going here, get ready for an autistic rant abt macy bc i love her so so so so much

macy is SUCH a meaningful character to me as an autistic person. she has so many things that mirror myself such as her texture and sensory issues, her hyperfixations, her inability to read other people, her love for animals (sometimes over people), and much much more!! ive been slowly creating a collection of "Proof That Macy is Autistic" screenshots of her dialogue bc she just,, is so accurate to my own personal experience living as an autistic adult!! i love seeing a character talk so openly abt her traits with no hatred or disgust or annoyance. when she talks abt her light sensitivity, it feels like shes only frustrated bc it gets in the way of her hyperfixation, and not bc of the fact that she has light sensitivity, and its so refreshing to see a character who doesnt hate herself bc of smth she cant change. its also so nice to see a character whos (headcanoned) autism doesnt get in the way of romancing her. she says she has trouble reading others and that she wants to confirm u feel the same, and its just so nice to see that embraced instead of made fun of. i dont know if any characters were written as autistic when creating the game, maybe all of her traits are just coincidence, but no matter what she means the world to me as a character. thank u devs for making such a wonderful character whos life experience is loved instead of shunned, and thank u for making one of the most inclusive games ive ever played. it means the world to not just me, but im sure so so many of us.

Thanks for adding a dyslexic font to the game. Its the first game I have ever had the option to play the game with a readable font without spending hours modding it. Can't tell you the number of games I just haven't cared about the lore cause it involved reading and that took to much brain power when I wanted to relax, I'm now 200hrs in and actually know the lore of the island.

Thank you for building something so intriguing and difficult to put down. There's always something to be completed, but sometimes there's just fun lulls to be able to explore the island. The characters are incredible, and being able to mesh the player character into all of the community and relationships with people feels so natural and enjoyable. I can't express how important this game has been to me lately, while I'm working on healing, and this has come at the perfect time.

Backed y’all on Kickstarter and recently started playing again since the alpha first released and I’m so in love. I knew this game would be special when seeing the Kickstarter and it is. It’s been a huge comfort to me and the characters really feel alive and unique. For the first time ever, I’m actually more interested in getting to know the characters than I am in growing my farm.

I can only imagine the spot you’ve all been put in with Humble and I think your transparency and communication with the players has been excellent. It has been so cool watching this game be built from the very start and I am so so excited to see how it continues to improve. All the proposed updates sound fantastic, but the game is already probably in my top 5 favorites of all time in its current state. It’s literally everything I’ve ever wanted out of a farming game. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Also, I tend to keep up with the developer diary, and I also wanted to say thank you for your attention to detail and the continuous improvements to the game. Just reading the things in the dev diary, it really seems like you love your game a lot, just like I do. That makes me happy to play a game the developers care so much about.
Also love how yall interact with the community here. Feels very much like a community, not just a player base. Even if I really just lurk, it's very nice to see.

I just wanted to say my biggest thanks to the devs and everyone involved in making this game and community possible! In terms of enjoyment, this game is up on my list with some of the biggest successful games that have ever been released. I bought it a while back and it was getting dusty in my steam library so one day I gave it a shot and haven't regretted it since. Some days I ended up spending up to 12h playing this game which speaks for itself.. I can feel the amount of love and dedication in so many aspects and the huge amount of support I have been given when reporting an issue is just absolutely mind-blowing. The communication during reports is unbelievably respectful and professional and I can not wait to see what you have planned for us in the future - THANK YOU! heart

😌 Just came here to say, thank you devs for having platonic bonds in this game!! I feel like in many games I own with dating aspects, you either can’t cultivate friendship with non-dateable NPCs or there just aren’t any non-dateable NPCs to interact with at all. Dinda and Ling are some of my favorite characters, and I love it when the children call me “Ms. (X)” 🥺

Hi Coral Island Team! I started playing in Early Access, but fell off a bit because I got busy with school and my (old) laptop didn't run the game well. Got a Steam Deck recently and have been LOVING all the improvements and QOL upgrades! I especially love that grass doesn't grow over paths anymore - a small but very nice change. The hangouts are a really cool idea, too! Keep up the great work! Then changelog for the beta looks really fun too 🤩

Coral island is my favourite game for many reasons: fhe characters, the art, the cozy vibes, but most importantly the passion the devs put into each and every day of development! I’ve loved seeing it grow since it first started development and I hope for many more years of amazing content within the game and the amazing fandom 🩷🩷

Happy one year and thank you for being some of the friendliest and engaged devs a game could want! goatlove2

Thank you devs for a great game! I've played farming sim style games for over 20 years (so old 😭 ) and I can see how much effort, content and consideration you have put into this game. While there are some kinks that need to get smoothed over, this game is an amazing piece of work! Look forward to seeing what else you may come out with in the future and to possible future updates to this game.

Thank you devs for being so swift on fixes and communicative with the community! I've only joined the discord server yesterday, but I'm actually so surprised at how fast you all get back to everyone. I'm so excited for what's to come in this game. I'm loving this game a lot and I'm sure I'll love it even more with the new stuff coming in the future! Butter_Saranghae_Emoji

It's been over a year since Coral Island 1.0 was released (2 years if early access was counted) and a lot of tough things has happened over the past few months. Please hang in there and keep fighting, I believe you can strive on it. Thank you once again Stairway Games team, both for the developers and management who continue to work hard to develop this game, so that it becomes Coral Island that all of us want from the beginning until now, really appreciate it so much. The new year is just around the corner, take your time to get some good rest and start afresh with renewed spirits so that you can share the good news about the upcoming update. I'm really looking forward for that happens. love love love

I just got back into Coral Island after hearing of the 1.1 release, and I’m so glad I did!

The game is visually beautiful as well as distinct, the characters are great and I love love LOVE the setting!

Some things I noticed and am especially happy about:

  • The variety of body types among the characters, and the way that disability is shown as just a part of life, neither drawing extra attention to it or ignoring it. Sunny is hard of hearing and SPEAKS TOO LOUDLY because of it, Randy the schoolteacher has his prosthetic arm, and there are wheelchairs in the town centre. This is great to see!

  • The focus on meaningful, long lasting changes to the environment. Not just from a “take care of nature” perspective, but also things like the town changing when you get a higher rank.

  • The way you’ve put Indonesian culture references into the game, I’m Swedish so I’m not knowledgeable of all of it but I love seeing and learning about all kinds of parts of the world!

  • You added an adoptable pet lizard!!!! I had a pet lizard when I was a kid, and it’s so rare to see any kind of reptile as a pet, especially in games.

Dear developers, take care and get as much rest as you can, you really deserve it! Thank you for making such a great game!

This game has brought my family so much joy! My mom and I spent countless hours playing together while she was stuck home after her chemo treatments. The wholesome vibes were exactly what she needed. And now that it's getting closer, we're so excited for multiplayer and the chance to play truly together! Already have our time off planned so we can test out the multi beta when it goes public!

I've been playing for about a month on my Xbox and am so happy for the new update. I feel lagging when I pause and unpause really was hard, but with the update, there's been hardly any lag. I now am continuing my 2nd year and am preparing to conquer the harvest festival for the first time since I skipped it in year one. I am so happy that I got this game and am excited for the future.

Ok bear with me cause this is gonna be a long one.

I've been with the game since early access, but for various reasons, I've restarted the game twice, after reaching middle of year 2 on both playthroughs. I absolutely adored the game but I'm the sort of person that prefers to restart when major updates release. This time, I'm in the middle of Year 3, and the game is genuinely better than ever. The new quality of life update has made everything so slick and it all feels so much more polished. Nothing feels out of place and all the little UI changes come together to make everything work like a well-oiled machine.

But the thing that's really stood out to me this playthrough is the characters. Being able to track Heart Events means I've been able to progress relationships with so many more characters and I am genuinely getting blown away by the care, thought and diversity put into all of their stories. Characters I hardly gave a thought to on my previous games are now some of my standout favourites, and Leah, who before I would have said was in my bottom 3 townies, is now my first choice for a romance with a new farmer. These characters are flawed, messy, and imperfect. They argue and make mistakes and hold grudges, as well as being kind and funny and talented, and that makes them so, so wonderfully human. All of them feel so rich and varied and there have been moments in some of the cutscenes (Theo!!!) where I genuinely felt myself tearing up, and some where I have fully laughed out loud. The game is unafraid to tackle complicated issues and handles all of them with grace and patience.

The diversity of characters is also a highlight. I cannot express how delighted I was to see fat mermaids!! You never see fat mermaids!!! I gasped aloud and made my husband come into the room to see them!

Every minute I spend in this game is a true delight, and even though I adored it from the get go, I've found myself loving it even more than I could have thought possible. Thank you, truly, for such an amazing game, and for the care and dedication that is apparent in every part of it.

Thank you to everyone involved in this game process. The ideas, time, and effort put in are truly astounding. When I played today I was rushing to finish the day since my controller cord kept unregistering from my computer, when I saw Rafael's bubble telling me that my outfit looked great. That simple touch got me to smile and improved my game day and real life day more than I can express and I'm not even someone that cares about clothes. I hope to discover more of these 'pick me up' acknowledgements from npc since they help me feel seen, heard, and appreciated.

Wanted to give a huge thank you to the dev team of Coral Island!! I'm an Indonesian that grew up in California and playing this game constant feels like a warm hug. I've just started playing so I've only played up to the Cherry Blossom event, but to see a game have little cultural details that breathe life into the game is so exciting to me! The townies wearing batik, having wayang kulit and kris in their homes as decor, having tumpeng during a festival-- all these things warm my heart so much to see as someone who has never had the opportunity to play a game whose environment hits so close to home. Big hugs and big love from me!! Excited to keep playing and exploring more of the island's characters and lore!! 🫶

I have played 80+ hours of this game (and so so so many hours of cozy games in general) and I have loved every hour of it. Thank you devs for creating something so visually beautiful, inclusive, mysterious, magical, and fun. It's such a special game!

I wanted to send a quick note of thanks to the entire team for Coral Island -- I've been going through a rough patch in my life and Coral Island has been a huge help for my mental health. I love how I'm learning about other cultures: whether it's the concept of sesajens in general, the amazing food dishes I desperately want to try (going to try making lodeh soon!), or just little things like the set of angklungs I just found, all of it has made this cozy game even better. I also want to give a particular call-out to any teams that handle the lighting in the game -- there's something inexplicably beautiful about how the light in the game changes throughout the day or season. The first time I left my house in Winter felt so real somehow, with the light barely touching things. Thank you for making something beautiful, hopeful, and inclusive.

I can't thank you all enough for this game. I started on steam at a friend's recommendation and got hooked. After getting a ps5 I bought the game again to play on that so the kids could also play. My over 100 hours has been the most enjoyable of any game I've played, and it's just as great to see the joy it brings the kids. After they opened the backer museum they became jealous that we didn't know about this game and you guys sooner so that we could contribute. After seeing all the time, effort, quality, attention to even the smallest details, and how much you listen to what people want and hope for, I'd have to agree that contributing to any future things you make would be a great investment...perhaps a Coral Island 2 from where Axel and Senja are from? 😉 Keep up the great work, and know that you're appreciated.

Hello Devs, thank you for creating this awesome game! I can say that this is one of my favorite Farming Sim games and whenever I play it, it makes me so happy. I'm a cozy streamer and this is one of the games that I stream and I love every single moment of it. Thank you and I hope you will continue to add content to Coral Island and making it more fun for everyone. Thank you so much and always do take care ❤️

I really love the mechanics in this game! I also really love that you guys have made Semeru available as a marriage candidate. I really like that I can date a middle aged man, there aren't a lot of options like that in most garming games and it's good to see that get shaken up a bit. I'm so excited for where Coral Island is going! You devs are amazing! Keep up the great work!

Thank you guys so much! This game is absolutely amazing. So intricate and detailed that I get truly lost in the world of Coral Island when I play. I can't wait to see what's to come!

PS: My girlfriend said she doesn't like the game very much. She said that I spend all my time playing your game. I told her I spend my time with the things that bring me the most joy. Now she's mad at me and giving me the silent treatment. 😒
Guess that means more time for Coral Island 😁😁😁

(Sorry if it's long, I might be blabbering but I have lot to be thankful for☺️)

I really love this game! It feels so much like home as someone from Southeast Asia who had childhood experiences in a smaller island away from mainland, it's rare to find such representation in games and I couldn't be happier!
I feel connected to the overall love for nature and the environment and it makes me so happy that it plays such a big role in both the storylines and festivals, it reflects my wishes for our very own islands 🥰 the game influences me to be even more enthusiastic about caring for the environment in real life!

Working hard for the town and on the farms doesn't feel like a chore and more like acts of love, knowing that it's for the local economy and overall growth of the island, you guys did a wonderful job on making players like me care about progressing and growing as the game goes on without it feeling bothersome, the challenge feels motivating in my book!

And the townies 🥺 oh... I care so much about them, from silly interactions to more heartfelt ones, I've really grown to care about the characters, I can tell a lot of love was put into their stories even down to their design and backgrounds. After a long day of working hard on the farms, I look forward to spending the day with my neighbors, they're all so unique and have such rich personalities and stories to them, there's not a single townie whom I don't want to befriend!
Thank you so much for them, the characters and their families are all very close to my heart

The game gets me through my hard times and gives me a sense of accomplishment whenever the days feel lonely and cold, I get on and immerse myself to the warm world the devs put their hearts in

Thank you for Coral Island! The care and hardwork you've put in the game have brought back warmth to my heart🫶

Big thank you devs for all your hard work on the game!

I'm so very impressed by how well you were able to pivot after Humble dropped the ball, and I really appreciate how dedicated you guys are. The frequent bug fixes, continued updates, and constant communication with the community are all genuinely amazing, especially with all the hurdles you have had to overcome. It's been years since I backed, but your love for the game continues to shine through at every turn in the development process, and in every aspect of the game itself. It's truly made Coral Island feel like a sanctuary for me in tough times, so thank you. goatlove2

Also, everything in this latest dev blog looks fantastic, I'm so excited to drag all my friends along to play multi with me!! approve2

Most games are churned out by a big company. They're designed by people who wear ties and the actual developers do what they're told to do and nothing more. There's a lack of creative flair to them that's clear to see.

But every once in a while someone makes a game and it's easy to tell they put their heart into it, that they really wanted to make it the best game they could.

This is one of those games and I have fallen in love with it. Thank you so much for making Coral Island.

I am addicted to this game. I didn't think it was possible to be addicted to a farming game before. Even harvestmoon (including sos) series cannot manage to make me stay so long. I guess it is because I can relate with the environtment and culture side. It is almost a week now everyday I start the day and end the day by playing CI 😂 Please don't abandon this game. Keep improving it, even if the update is not every year. It is okay, take your time. I believe in your team 👍

Thank you so much for an amazing game, I'm so addicted to Coral Island and I cannot wait for the update! Been checking the discord every day for any news. While I'm impatient, I'm also super happy that you guys have taken measures to prevent crunch times, that's something that should be taken into consideration in all projects. Everyone, devs and fellow players alike, take care of yourselves and I hope you all have had a wonderful and/or restful weekend <3.

Thank you for everything you all have done, Devs.

It has been a hard year for you, between the pressure of the 1.2 release, losing a member of your team, and the weather.

I hope you all can find time to sit back and relax for a bit after all of this. I know that game development is a never-ending cycle, but even if it's just a few days, I hope you can rest, reset and renew that love for this game. Because you can be sure a lot of your player-base will!

So many new games, so many new farms, so many new friendships, and so many new romances!

I can't speak for everyone here, but thank you from the top, middle, and bottom of my heart. Thank you for all the hard work.

I can speak for my family and friends when I say we’re super hyped to play together, so thank you all for giving us that opportunity to do so!

Take your time with 1.3, we’ll be here to cheer you on along the way. You’re all amazing! allieLUV

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH. I logged onto ready to grind for the second time to get DIY Expert which was my last trophy and when I started the day I saw it auto pop and I swear I almost cried 😭 I know you’ve all be hard at work fixing these bugs and trophy bugs are probably the least of your worries 😂 but I fell in love with this game when I started university and it was such a comfort for me that very quickly became stressful the more bugs I encountered but the absolute relief of seeing the platinum is just overwhelming. It may seem a bit over the top but with anything, when you work your butt off for something and you’re not able to achieve it, it’s not a great feeling. On top of that I’ve been feeling unwell so this just made my day WWWWWWWWWW devs 🫶 @errant seal you’re a ⭐️

I wanted to thank all of the developers and Stairway team for all that you have done, are doing, and will do. While I struggled with some of the changes prior due to my PTSD triggering, I have since found my way back to the game and the good feelings it provides (over 1,000 hours played now!) I just can't talk to Frank or Erika and have to skip their cutscenes, and I can't marry due to the term of endearment dialogue. However, the rest of the game is a peaceful and 'safe space' for me to enjoy and marvel at all of the time and effort you all have put into creating a game that helps so many feel seen, heard, and respected. I hope you all feel very proud and have your own safe space where you can lose your troubles in.

I was logging out after 3 straight gameplay days and got the Unreal Engine crash. I know many get incredibly upset about having to redo 1 day, let alone multiples like I will have to, so I just wanted to take the time to thank you all once again for everything you do. Even though the game crashed, I still got to hug npcs and hangout with them, which is exactly what I needed after a real life bad day. I can't imagine how much stress you all endure each day as you try to fix, improve, and add kickstarter goals. Just know that I appreciate all the effort you put in, and am thankful to have the game to turn to for fun and to destress.

670 days. That’s how long I’ve been uploading daily Coral Island content on YouTube — ever since I set out to earn the Platinum Coral Badge trophy. And today, that journey finally comes to a close.

Huge thanks to Stairway Games for building such a wonderful game that kept me hooked every single day. Even with a few bumps along the way, the experience was overwhelmingly positive. Shoutout to @errant seal for always being on top of any issues I ran into — you made any bug I encountered easier to deal with.

It’s a little bittersweet, but I couldn’t be more grateful for the journey. Coral Island may be done for me, but I’m excited to see what Stairway brings us next. Onward to the next adventure!

Stairway team, CI team and all those that have been involved in some capacity over the years thank you and congratulations! It's been 3 years since Early Access launch! Can you imagine how time flies, so much has been achieved in that time and so much lost (I'll always remember you yoghurt maker and pancake stairs Duck_Saluting_Emoji)!
There were ups and downs, but so many funny moments here in the community and in game itself (pivot! pivot! laugh2 ).
Thank you for your hard work and always listening when needed! Happy official 3 years Coral Island! Butter_Saranghae_Emoji

Just recently started on ps4, with the item glitch but despite that the story and overall functionality kept me coming back. We’re here now, hundreds of bug fixes later and I’m seeing the game how it’s supposed to be and I’m even more appreciative. The characters and their families are so well developed. Thank you so much for this gem.

Hey Devs, it's probably rough right now what with all the reports coming in. I just wanted to say, your work is appreciated. I studied game design and still can't code to save my life, which is why I animate.

Keep up the good work, I've been around since early access and love seeing this game grow, including the growing pains 😉

I just saw some alpha gameplay of Starsand Island and it made me greatly appreciate Coral Island even more.

While Starsand looks like a ok cute game, it is NO WHERE as diverse and or inclusive as Coral Island is.

As a multi-ethnic person of color, I GREATLY appreciate the work you have done in this game to make me and others like myself feel seen.

Other games like Infinity Nikki and Starsand need to take notes from you.

Thank you from the depths of my heart. I truly mean this♥️

Thank you once again to the entire Stairway team. Coral Island is such a great game, and I love seeing Rusdy walking around my farm. So, hats off to everyone involved in both games and especially to those that deal with all of us and our thoughts and the bugs. You are all appreciated for your time, patience, and phenomenal skills. Even though I'm over 1,000 hours played between all my save slots and platforms I swear I notice something new each time that amazes me, like the swinging cage creaking by the Spooky festival shop. I don't know if the sound is new or I somehow missed it before, but it's those small details that bring the game to life. Keep up the great work.

I wanted to give you encouragement. I know someday it feels like things aren't going fast enough or you don't want to disappoint us, but as fans we know you are working hard to make a game that we all care about that you have developed and love. We know you are doing something amazing and when it with hot fixes and updates. Don't feel like you need to rush anything. I can't and won't speak for everyone, but this islander knows when the time is ready for more major updates it will have been worth it, which it already is.♥️

(Copy Paste from general chat)
I wanted to say thank you to the devs for this game. I love gotten this game at a fairly low and uncertain point in my life and it’s helped me escape in a way I don’t realize I needed.

Like I mentioned early, I suffered a back injury that’s made it hard to be as active as I was before, and my mental health took a massive plummet as well. The past three years I haven’t been able to work and I’ve lost a lot of friends or they’ve grown distant from me and the final kick was watching my dad pass away.

I struggled to find a way to escape my head and turned to violent or horror based games thinking it could help and it simply hasn’t.

It wasn’t until I started Disney Dream Light Valley that I started to feel a spark of relief. Then I tried My Time at Sandrock but neither could do something for me that I really wanted.

It hasn’t been until Coral Island that I feel…I don’t know. Almost calm and a sense of peace? Sometimes as I’m playing the game, I imagine myself on the beach at night staring up at the stars.

So thanks for the experience. Thanks for this game. I love it and really hope it continues to grow and expand! 🥰

Two things

  1. Keep up the good work. We all believe in you. Thank you for opening up to feedback and, once again, being a leader in diverse, cozy, casual gaming. We know you are working hard on updates, fixes, bug-catching, etc., and are grateful for that. The game is so diverse, I'm running out of feedback/suggestions 🙂 ❤️

  2. I used to be an avid fan fiction writer for another fandom; however, I had a divorce from the fandom I used to love. I stopped writing and thought I could never be creative again. Then your game came acrossed my pS5. I almost didn't get it, thinking it was another management game. I'm glad to say I was utterly and pleasantly wrong. The depth of every character, their personalities, the area they live in, and their relationships. From the details of falling leaves in autumn to real-world food, diverse clothing and hairstyles, and in-game festivals, these elements inspired and revived my creative heart. From artist to artist, you know how precious and invaluable it is to be inspired and awoken from artistic heartbreak (if you have ever had it).
    For this, Coral Island will always have a special place in my heart.

Thank you for the gift that is this game, and I look forward to its future and to other similar games from you.

I wanted to once again say how thankful I am for Coral Island, and everyone at Stairway for making it what it is. I can't imagine the struggles you've all weathered to make your dream not just its current state of reality, but all that is still to come inspite of the publisher issue. If I was any good at tech I would use the song "A Million Dreams" by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, and set Coral Island gameplay and Stairway games rise to excellence along with it. Keep dreaming big, and know that we appreciate you all, and commend your hard work.

Terima kasih Stairway Team,

As an Indonesian its hard to find much Indonesian representation with the games industry and to find out that you were founded in my hometown Yogyakarta is crazy to me. All the details from the art to the music including bits of batik, gamelan, angklung was such a nice touch. Only just started playing but I am excited to see what else there is in store for me.

Thank you for making such an inclusive, chill, relaxed community where we can give feedback and share.

I'm also in love with the new haunted house, and that we can pick a partner for it. SO well done! Love it!

And most of all, thank you for continuing to work on this game. I, for one, if not every other fan, recognize the dedication and careful planning, detail, writing, drawing, modeling, hotfixes, snacks, breaks, and sitting in front of a screen with milestone meetings among just a few things that this team does. Be assured we are all thankful, if I am so bold to speak for this fandom.

Take a break once in a while, stretch, drink water, take care of yourselves, please. Creativity is a garden and must be tended and part of tending is taking care <3.

Thank you. Thank you for being your creative and special selves. By special, I mean that everyone, every individual, whether they have discovered it yet, has a purpose, talent, and uniqueness that are necessary for the world we live in.

In the USA, people call it a melting pot, however, Lately, many are starting to call it a Stew. People just dont melt into one culture or lose themselves or identity, they add to the culture. As people we are potatoes, salt, pepper, vegetables, etc that add to the stock of things. And at Stairway Games, you all are a great stock with a rich tasty stew. ❤️

Just wanted to say thank you to the devs for the hangout interaction.

Aaliyah looks a lot like my cousin who, sadly, passed away last year. They also have very similar personalities: kind, fun-loving, and adventurous. She lived on the other side of the country from me, so I didn't get to see her a lot in these last few years - especially with COVID.
When I saw that the hangouts were going to be added to the game, I made a special mental note to hangout with Aaliyah. It's probably a little silly, but when I hang out with her I do imagine the sort of stuff I might do with my cousin if she were still alive. She'd probably love that there's a game character who looks a lot like her.

Frank also looks a little bit like my other cousin too, so the entire Juma family is sort of dear to me. :')

Decided that my farmer is actually related to the Jumas for this particular reason.

My family is mixed, and like the Jumas we have Black and Asian (though my family's Filipino) so seeing that meant a lot to me. <3

Sorry for rambling but I really wanted to say thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. 😭 This game means a lot to me!

# gray parcel Just wanted to say thank you to the devs for the hangout interaction. Aaliyah l...

I'm mixed too and representation matters❤️

I came here to personally thank David Lojaya for his detail and love that comes out of his artwork.

David adds realistic skin tones, tans and marks to people. Some of the characters have tan lines and get slightly darker in summer, Suki has stretch marks from being pregnant and there's gray hair and wrinkles.

I truly adore how Coral Island is full of representation without pointing it out and having everyone (the Islanders) live their lives.

He draws these characters bit by bit with unique personalities that adds to the writing and the gameplay that is perfected with every update.

Thank you to the Developers,

Mr. David Lojava,

Writers,

Kickstarter backers,

And the rest of this community.

You've made a Delicious Coral Island Stew❤️

Hey dev team — wanted to flag a pretty serious co-op issue that’s been consistently happening and honestly making it really hard to keep playing. Co-op is an awesome addition and we really enjoy the game, but there’s a major stability problem when the sleep mechanic triggers the save process. During online co-op, the game crashes extremely often at the end of the day cycle. It happens frequently when night hits and becomes basically guaranteed (100% reproducible for us) when both players go to sleep at the same time. For context, the world is hosted on Xbox Series S and the second player joins from PC (Steam). Every crash results in lost progress after long play sessions involving diving, farming, and general progression, which is getting pretty discouraging. We genuinely like the game and want to keep playing, but this issue is starting to push us (and others we’ve seen mention it) toward putting the game down until it’s resolved. Just wanted to bring visibility to it and stress how impactful it is to co-op players. If there are any known workarounds, settings to avoid, or fixes in progress, it would be great to know. Otherwise, this feels like something that really needs priority since it directly affects progression and player retention. Thanks for the work you’re putting into the game. BK

Two very personal things:

  1. I recently played the first chapter of "Where Winds Meet" and the ending of that chapter crushed me. All I have to say is, Yi Dao... My beloved companion and friend... What does this have to do with Coral Island?
    -Your game has some heavy topics that aren't shoved in our faces, down our throats, and doesn't rip our hearts apart. Where the Winds meet--The first chapter of the game has had me in tears, literal tears, for the past 30 or more hours. Im greatful for this balance, the writing in Stairway Studios.

  2. Specifically because of Coral Island i've planned our 20th marriage anniversary in Elmhurst, Ny. I planned a indonesian food crawl there this November. So, wish me luck that we can afford this! (I really want to try some rendang ❤️ 🙂 )

So from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. ❤️

We're nearing the 1 year date of my mother passing (the end of March), and I just want to thank the Devs for making the games they have. While she wasn't a computer gamer (she loved board games) she did always have an interest in the games I played when I would mention I had played something that day. Your games, especially Funguys, have helped fill the cold quiet that still randomly settles in at times. I truly cannot express enough just how thankful I am for that. Both of your games have helped me get through the worst event of my life. I love the characters your games have, just how different both are from one another in gameplay and style, and just how much there is to do in each. I very much look forward to every update, and am excited to see how both continue to grow.

Again, I thank your teams so much for the hard work everyone's put into these. It's really appreciated.

As we're nearing the massive update, I want to give my thanks to the team and to the community team for the love and dedication to this highly underrated gem.

I'm so happy I can be a part of this journey and that I can learn more about the Indonesian culture. Some of these recipes, I want to try in real life. I hope I can learn more of your culture. Real culture and not just some over commercialized stuff.

Thanks again as I patiently wait where our next step takes us.

I'll try keep it short (but I Know I'll probably fail)
I've been playing HM/SoS games for as long as I can remember all the way back to the ps1. Every time I got a new one that hooked me, I'd be stuck on it for hundreds of hours for the next few months. Alas, no mainline title of that series has done that since the 3ds, so I was very positively surprised when coral island did.
And it feels worth it sticking with it. Every time I think "surely I'm done now?" the game shows me more new things to do. Ocean cleaning? nope, just a preamble to the actual ocean stuff with new people and a new farm. The altar? Just the first step that leads to more after. Town rank A? Nope, have attractions and work towards rank S. It's great.
Even now that I've probably squeezed this save for all it can give, I still feel like I want more. (Might have to start a second save ngl)
Another thing is the characters. The way they are written, animated, everything is so damn charming. Really enjoy it. Even ones I didn't expect to be that interesting like emily or jack end up with really interesting storylines.
And finally of course: The game's cultural influences. A ton of games have a clear japanese or american flair. Even if they try not to it always shows. But here that flair is so charmingly indonesian. It's a part of the world I must admit I never thought much of before, but honestly fell in love with a little bit now.

TLDR: Love my time in the game. Big compliments to the team and a huge thank you! NikkiHeart_sn

I just wanted to say thank you so much for creating a game like Coral island that I can be a mermaid in. I was so excited to find out about it that I grinded to get that tail. Then I found out I can have an underwater farm and it just made this game so much more fun.
I love mermaids and I own some tails I swim in irl so its super cool to see that in a video game. Coral island has easily become my most favorite game.

Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication each and every day. I am so thankful that I can express my gratitude and tell you how much this game means to me.

I look forward to petting my animals and blowing things up after a hard day of work. Thank you.

Thank you so much for making jealousy toggle-able! I’ve played quite a lot of the game and am excited for the update. While reading the update blog I noticed the jealousy reactions, and was delighted to see one can turn them off in the settings. It’s a wonderful customization that I believe will contribute to increasing the scant media representation of healthy relationship dynamics. Implicit polyamory rep is always appreciated as well!

Thank you for addressing the question we all had about Agung being asexual. Even though I'm slightly disappointed that it was not the intention and lack of representation still persists, I am still really glad that you addressed it in the dev blog and explained why. I feel like I understand Agung more as a character now, and it definitely helps to see he was always meant to be a romancable. It speaks volumes that you don't want to just put a "representation label" on a character never written to be what many of us have had as a headcanon. My initial disappointment of seeing that this was not the case got overshadowed the second I read through your explanation and reasoning for why. I do of course hope that we get to see some representation for the ace community in the future of course love

I’m so so excited to see Agung and Raina added as dateable characters!

And the new save file option will be great to explore romances without starting the game completely over.

It's a tough year/year and a half struggling with fatigue doctors gave no satisfying answer to, just trying to fully function at work while being a boneless husk at home. Finding Coral Island at Christmas has made me 'zombie' mode at home so much more enjoyable. It's given me something positivity-affirling, wholesome, light and full of sunshine to do when I'm feeling like 1/3 of my old self. Got a diagnosis today, just as I was taking stock and writing down anything medically important, and it hit me that CI has some very positive influence. So, thank you!

Good timezone Islanders! I wanted to do something for the AMAZING Coral Island Dev team as a thank you for creating such a wonderful game for us! They have worked so hard to be as inclusive as possible in more ways than I could imagine and I really wanted to give everyone a place to say thank you in their own way!

I have created a Kudoboard for our community to do just that! If you are unfamiliar with what a Kudoboard is, think of it like a giant birthday or thank you card everyone signs in class that you get as a surprise. You can write a message, add pictures, add a video you name it! I would love for everyone to say one thing they are excited for and one thing they are thankful the devs have included. I want the dev team to be able to look at this while they are working and get some extra inspiration! If you have ANY questions feel free to DM me here on discord, I will respond as quickly as I can! You can add to this at anytime and it will stay open forever 🙂

After all those gaming years, this is the first time I'm actually backing up a game. I'm a big fan of Harvest Moon and I am really excited to experience and see what Coral Island is all about.

To all devs, mods, and team members:
Thank you sooooo much. It is very clear that you all are going above and beyond expectations. All the effort you have put in, and continue to put on, has not & will not go unnoticed. When I first saw Coral Island during the kickstarter, I fell in love instantly. I had high hopes and dreams that this game would come to life and you have blown every wish out of the ballpark with your follow-through. I am so ecstatic seeing the results day to day, week to week, month to month. It is honestly hard to put into words.. but every thing you have done, big or small, has been wonderful. I commend you on your work, and I hope that at the end of each day you pat yourselves on the back and fall asleep with huge smiles on your faces.

I am sure I speak for everyone here when I say we are proud of you, for all you do. And I cannot wait to get my feet wet in the game. The wait is hard but well worth it, because as I've said, again and again you blow us away. So here's a big, loud THANK YOU!!! You are all amazing ♡♡♡♡♡

I just wanted to say a not so quick thank you to the devs of this game.

Everything about this game is incredibly BREATHTAKING. I know we're all so damn excited for this game, but just, WOW. I just watched the trailer for the first time ever (despite knowing about the game and having backed it for months dogkek) and just...I am absolutely blown away by it all. The amount of effort put into this game is absolutely incredible, and you should all be SO PROUD of yourselves, for not only making a gorgeous game, but for creating a fantastic community that I, and many others, feel like we belong in.

Something in Stardew Valley I always wanted to do was help clean the trash from the ocean. It was always there, and you could never get rid of it. This is essentially my DREAM for a game: helping clean up a coral reef, the oceans, and being in such a fantastic looking town.

Every single detail about Coral Island has been thought of, and every art asset that I see just blows me away. All of you work so incredibly hard on this game and I cannot thank you enough for bringing a little joy into my life every day, especially on the harder days.

So, to sum this up: THANK YOU!

As I was walking through the town for the first time at night, the late nighttime music started and I seriously almost began to cry. It felt so magical and cozy, and you can feel the dedication, hard work, and love that you’ve all poured into the game already. Thank you devs for making a game that already has magical moments in Alpha 🥺❤️❤️

Good morning all, please remember when thanking the devs to remove specific alpha related content in your message. This is a public channel which means it can be seen by all.

to all devs: Thank you for this wonderful game. While I feel like I'm running around with no idea of what I'm doing, I don't have that "rushed" feeling I get with other games.

Thank you devs! I am very impressed at how far the game is currently and the fact that I was able to play all day today within 24 hours of launch is spectacular. You are doing amazing work and we all appreciate you very much! ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜

Hey, team.

I just want to let you know that you’ve got something truly special on your hands here. In the near future I personally think that this game will dominate the genre.
Keep up the great work, but please do put your mental states first. You guys are probably so incredibly stressed with the launch of the alpha and having the mindset that you have to listen to every single person.

Just take a breather and relax, mental health is nothing to take lightly.

Anyways, I’m rambling…

Thank you all for your hard work and dedication. 💜

Devs! You guys are amazing! I know covid has been really bad in Indonesia and wouldve expected a very rough draft of the game, but this is way more than I expected for the Alpha! So proud of u guys! Thank u so much for making a game that has such great societal values, you did a splendid job!

Idk if this is the right channel for this (I AM very thankful for the devs as well of course!) but I really want to thank the incredible discord mods (and Maya the community manager) for being so helpful and patient with all of us in the discord! Just about every question, concern and problem has been addressed in such an understanding way towards both the players and the developers.

I just wanna say that I am very impressed with the quality of this Alpha build! There is so much to explore and plenty of things to find out about! I am really loving! The music is also lovely
Good job devs and everyone involved in the project cohhL
and it's awesome that it works on Linux through Proton!
did write this yesterday in another channel, didn't notice there was this channel here until now

Can easily say that when the music first started up, a wave of nostalgia came over me and I actually started to tear up. I remember playing games like Rune Factory, Harvest Moon, and Stardew Valley and being utterly mesmerized by all of the little details when I was younger-- especially Rune Factory and Harvest Moon-- and Coral Island, while still in its Alpha build, has managed to take me back to those memories and adoration that I had for these types of games. I cannot wait to see where things go from here, and I'm grateful to be a part of this journey. Thank you.

I've been dealing with a ton lately. Just finished up Cancer treatments and it's been rough. I opened your game and smiled more genuinely than I have In awhile. Thank you ❤️

hi devs! i just wanted to comment and say that this alpha -- i know, an incomplete version of the game -- is already one of the most fun things i've ever played. being able to drink in the lushness and vibrancy of a game that was clearly made with so much LOVE ... it's really healing. i'm showing this game to everyone i talk to. i'm so excited. i've been going through a lot of rough things in my personal life, as i'm sure lots of other folks in this server are, and this is giving me something to look forward to, so i can grit my teeth and keep going. you've already done a sublime job and blown my expectations out of the water for the alpha (!!!), so i can't wait to see what you'll do for the full game (?!?!?!). much love. i hope you are all safe and happy and feel fulfilled about this wonderful thing you are giving to the world. and please take it easy! xo 💙

Even though it's alpha and a lot of the content isn't available yet it still feels more polished than a lot of "finished" games TBH

I have been playing farming simulation games since I was a little girl, After spending some time playing the alpha build, I would just like to say this game is going to be a masterpiece. Absolutely incredible work and attention to detail, thank you so much devs! The game is visually very stunning. I cannot wait to play the full game!

Good grief. I went to send positive feedback after reading the update and fat fingered the response. As a single data point it's not much, but I still wanted to jump in and say this was an ERROR and I love the work you guys are doing. Have a good day!

My goodness, would ya just look at that latest developer diary!? So much work! And in such a short amount of time! You devs are real MVPs. You rock at what you do, and I'm so excited to continue seeing what a wonderful game all of your obvious hard work creates ❤️

I just want to say thank you to the team for working hard on Coral Island. I know it must be hard work and can get tough sometimes when dealing with some unreasonable people from time to time. I do hope the words and actions of such people aren't putting too much stress on the team. But, anyways I appreciate all the hard work and time that goes into each update. The community is so excited to keep playing and are thrilled to follow the games progress till completion. Again, Thank you so much for your hard work, dedication, and thoughtfulness when designing/making Coral Island. 💗

As it's the beginning of a new week,~~ and since I'm feeling particularly sappy this evening,~~ I wanna take a moment to thank the devs for basically being my heroes for the past few months. I'm currently going to school for 3D animation, and it's been a lot of hard work already this semester. Lots of fast deadlines, all nighters, etc. But getting to play the Coral Island Alpha, being able to admire all of the beautiful work you've all done on the buildings and environments, interacting with the wonderfully realistic NPCs you've created, not only reminds me why I've chosen to pursue the career that I have, but it gives me much respite from the hectic nature of the work week. The island is like an escape for me. With every new update, I feel so much of the love you all put into this game, and it almost feels like a love letter to me personally, as strange as that sounds. You all are a major inspiration to me ❤️ Thanks so much for creating my paradise ❤️

(I'm pretty new to discord so sorry if this is the wrong way to do this) Thank you devs for being so steadfast and diligent in completing this game. I'm always a believer that patience is a virtue and that I'd rather a game take extra time but come out great than get cyberpunked. Your honesty and transparency so far are what inspired me to pursue my goals. Keep going and know that you're greatly cherished.

Time for Rae to gush again. It seems to happen every month, huh? Anyway, I feel like it's especially important this month. I know I've been a pain in the rear end this month with my weird bugs and constant experiments (sorry to you especially Maya lol), but never once was I turned away, never once was I made to feel like my concerns weren't valid. I'm so very glad that that silly meme I made brought you all a bit of joy, since that's all your game has given me for the last 3 months, and I know it will only continue to deliver ❤️ I promise, there will be more memes ;3

With Christmas and New Year coming soon, I wanted to say thank you to the incredible team that works on Coral Island. I really enjoy the daily peak at the dev's diary, I enjoy seeing what everyone work about so hard!
A million thank you to all the team, and have great holiday! ❤️
See you next year!

Thanks for the new update.

Didn't think this counted as a bug. 🙂

Hello! 🧜‍♀️ When I first heard about this game, I was super excited! I love these sort of games similar to Harvest Moon with building a town, and also with friendship and dating side quests. But the thing about this game I am excited about is the mermaids! I've always liked mermaids and fairies a lot since I was a kid, so it's great that I can not only interact with them, but also befriend/date them! And I heard that you guys are supporting same-sex relationships, which is a big thing for me because the games I played as a kid didn't allow that. Or I would have to sacrifice my gender identity to marry the character I wanted, so I'm feeling supported with this game! goatlove2 I'm looking forward to its release!approve2

As it's getting down to the wire for 0.7, I just wanted to let you guys know how special you all are to all of your backers. Never once since the start of this alpha run have you guys faltered. Every day, when the dev diary is put up, we get to see all of the crazy effort and talent that oozes out of you guys each and every day. You are all super inspiring, and I cannot wait for 0.7 to see what you guys will marvel us with next ❤️

Hey there Carebears! I just wanted to reach out and say thank you. I backed the game on Kickstarter and even though I've had Alpha since July I am just getting to it now. I am enjoying the game so much right now and really love its blend of something familiar and different simultaneously.
I also want to say thank you for being so transparent, consistent, and passionate about the game and the fans equally. Too many times I see devs either just want the fans and either half ass the game or over cater, on the other hand you've got those who aren't there for the fans at all. They have a vision and dont respond well to feedback, if at all. Stairway Games is neither. You're just as part of the community as the fans of the game.
So thank you. I look forward to continuing this journey with you.

I’ve only known about this game/discord for a short time but the frequency and length of posts in #📓coral-developer-diary is so impressive, not like any other in-progress game I’ve had an interest in. Keep up the great work! 💖💖
