Is it worth it to start playing and max everything up with the current limitations, in your opinion? I like the idea, have played 3 days.. but should I stop and wait until the full release?
#Would you start playing Coral Island now knowing that you wont get the updates for a while?

Depends on how you like your gameplay
For me I enjoy absorbing the game content in smaller sections as updates develop & I enjoy replaying from beginning once entire game is done (& during development too)
If you’d rather experience the entire game content continuously then waiting for full release is the way to go

yeah I'm thinking replaying is going to kill me.

I think that replaying will be the most exciting thing! To go through all you've done and realize there's much more things to explore now :D

For me personally? Yeah! I enjoy getting to see the development process and even getting to be part of it by suggesting things! I don’t quite enjoy the idea of restarting currently but that might change! But that is absolutely to your preference. No shame in waiting, but also no shame in playing :)

Yeah same. Because there's already been a few save-breaking bugs that have decimated people's work. I've been keeping myself busy with other video games and just remaining patient.

Starting a new file gives me the opportunity to finetune my plans for when the game fully releases. Ideas for farm layout, crop placement. Even smaller details of priority of which tools to upgrade first and so on.

I had many hours of fun when it was first released and totally think it's worth the price. That said, I'm probably going to wait for another update or two to dive back in again. If you want to play the game once or twice and have all the stories, I would wait. If you enjoy exploring a world, it's worth it.

I just can't stop myself and let it stop automatically. I play for like 2 months but with 2 save (I play again from the beginning after a month
on october I played til 3rd year summer in game, on january I played til 3rd year spring.
on October I don't like about how I play because I started clueless and join discord like 8 days after playing. so I don't decorate my farm yet, and it was in xbox gamepass so I know I would just buy the steam one and play from the beginning.
on january, I played super fast with the knowledge I knew earlier and fully decorated my farm on 2nd year of winter. I still have 1.3 M coins after decor, all NPC was 5 hearts, my farm is thriving, still got a lot of insects, artifacts, and fossils to collect.
but I stopped playing, and planned to do it again after next update.
full release will reset everything so I thought play as you like and stop when you feel that it's not worth any further effort when it's reset later.

I'm on year 4; still not experienced everything in the game yet. Pace yourself, give gifts to villagers and do their heart events. it allows for the game play to be more spread out

I was pretty iffy on it at first. I really hate waiting for story updates, and I like to court my waifus asap because it's something I'm into in farming games. probably a bit more than others care for x'D. With that said knowing my romance target won't be available until release absolutely is killing me.
BUT. I figured I may as well build up a nice home with steady income and food and all for her when I can finally bring her home permanently. Unlike in SDV where I had Leah basically living in an undecorated shack until almost end of year 1 lol.

When the game first released, I intensely grinded for an entire week and reached 10 million coins. However, I eventually stopped playing due to both burnout and a lack of further content to enjoy. So I'm waiting for the full release too.

I transformed my farm into a Mason jar production facility. Unfortunately, this method may no longer be efficient due to updates in the game. I suspect that the developers nerfed it after seeing my post. It was saddening to see others complain about the time it took to produce jam from Mason jars, and I felt somewhat responsible. Haha
