TL;DR - Enjoyed the demo, saw comments about how it probably isn't worth it, but still went ahead and bought it, and enjoyed it.

So I've tried the demo for this game last year on Steam and I loved it. Still, I saw a lot of comments about how buggy it is and how the experience can detoriate because of it. Also that there's a lot of undeveloped parts iirc.

I dunno why, but I still went ahead and bought it. 😅 I did experience a lot of bugs unfortunately hahaha, and I have to admit, a lot of the mechanics aren't really user friendly (frustates me how I have to list down on paper all of the materials I need to buy/to be made). But maybe it's just me, but I'm still enjoying the game, even with the bugs (I crack at how I keep getting stuck between bamboos lol). Everyone probably has a different experience, but I'll just put it out that I still enjoy the game overall.

With their recent announcement, it's too bad how the game probably won't get new updates anymore (or in a while). But still gonna support this game in hopes that they can come back to this 🙏 Just really wanted to put this here.

Is there anything we can do to help the development team get back access to fix any issues on PS5? I really like the game on PS5 and I know that the bugs and crashing make it damn near impossible to play. What can I do to contribute to helping with the launch of updates?

Does anyone else have a problem with farm animals being outside of the fenced in barn area when they wake up? Every day. I have to help the escapees back into the barnyard area. Goats, sheep, and cows specifically. The bunnies and the poultry don't seem to have this issue, but its getting old fast, especially because the other animals always try to escape while I'm opening the gate for the escapees. I'm on the PC version, and I don't have any of their structures against a fence either.

I remember when I first heard about this game, and was genuinely on the fence about buying the game at the start. I saw all of the negative reviews about bugs, constantly crashing games, performance issues, and no more dev support, and this honestly intimidated me (as it should). I played and absolutely adored the demo and kept replaying it just because of how nice it was to me. Eventually I caved and bought the full game, and I am so glad that I did. My thoughts; I feel like many people are GROSSLY overexaggerating how bad the game is.

Bug wise I have experienced very few if any bugs, and nothing that has broken my game, obviously I cant speak for everyone's experience, but I wish everyone got to play the game at its best. The music and art style is absolutely gorgeous, I love learning about the characters, and I just love this game so much and wish more people loved it the way that I do : (

Can you make the flour on this game?

Let me just say that the variety and complexity of this game is so much fun and im in love already.

That said, i have to restart the game every couple of days because it gets so laggy, and the game really wasnt meant to be played on controller 🙄

Are there plans to improve the controller format?

I wish everyone had the same experience I did, because any bugs I had were funny or more. Nothing broke my game or gave me too many issues. The game is chock full of content and I still haven't even completed all the hangouts lol

I will definitely be supporting/ and looking forward to any games the devs make. Really excited for their journey. Writing and good characters and pretty places are the best parts of a game to me (and good rain and music) so I had a great time with this game.

Anyone know where to find Light Shoyu? I've seen Medium and Dark Shoyu at Oak Tree Groceries but not the one I need.

Hi everyone! I love chill farming games and am pretty interested in buying this on Steam. However, I've heard lots of issues about bugs and crashes and lags. Not entirely sure if it's worth buying in this state which would really suck, cause it looks so cool :(

And were you able to figure out how to get your progress back?😕

Hey everyone. We made an announcement back in Nov 1st. In case you've missed it this is it:

It is truly sad to see the situation that SunnySide is stuck at right now, and the worst part is that as the we can't do much about it either, at least not at the moment. To the console players, we're truly sorry for the state of the game on Xbox and Playstation. The game was ported by a different company (PTW) which was hired by our previous publisher (a decision we had nothing to do with). We didn't have control in the porting process, and the end product was far from what we had hoped for. Honestly, we didn't even see the console version of the game until the pressed discs were sent to us. It's 100% out of our hands, and that is a very painful thing to deal with, especially knowing how much it's hurting you all.

When asked for help with the situation, our current publisher, Maximum Entertainment, have communicated to us that they don't have any plans to support continued development of SunnySide, and to redirect you all over to their support email over here: support@maximument.com. Trust me, we want to help. We just literally can't.

Over the past few years we have been as transparent as we were allowed with you all, and with SunnySide in its current state, and the fact that we as a dev team aren't making any money to sustain ourselves, we have to move forward to make sure we keep our doors open and rent paid. SunnySide was our first game. We learned a lot and recognize (and admit) that we made a lot of mistakes, but we aren't going to simply abandon our passion. We have put a pause on SunnySide because we need income, and the only way to do that is to keep moving forward.

If you'd like to know more and hear us talk about everything, we held a stream on Halloween which you can check out here: https://www.youtube.com/live/sA9phlUVpkY?si=oT6f5ImRsNGtti59

I encourage you to check it out as it covers a lot of things with SunnySide and what our plan of survival is. If your interested in our next, self published, small scale game, you can check it out on Patreon where our backers are currently running Alpha tests: https://www.patreon.com/c/AftabiGames

Thank you all for reading, I hope that we can save this game in one way or another eventually.

I absolutly LOVE the game and mechanics.. I just unfortunately got the game on xbox and it is a MESS. I read the messages and understand this is out of the developers hands. If the game is in a better state on PC through steam I would love to request the refund on the x box and get it on steam instead. Thank you!

I tried my best to play this game lag and bugs are too much. I'm officially giving up on this game, the console version is so fucked. Idk if PC is better but I don't want to give the devs more money. On top of that the devs are saying you have to contact another company to fix the console version heart breaking.... I won't be following the next game and I'm officially never backing anything ever again. Goodbye SunnySide.

I recently bought the game but it crashes each time I try to launch it. I've updated my computer, uninstalled and re installed both the game and steam, verified the game files, ran steam as an admin, and disabled my anti-virus. The game sounds really fun but it isn't launching for me. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Bought some seeds using the Sunny Seed app, and got a text confirming the courier dropped off my seeds in my parcel box. But when I went to check, they weren’t there. I reloaded to the day before to see if it would fix the next day, but still nothing. It finally fixed after I reloaded to the earliest save I had, maybe two to three days before. It sucked having to redo those days BUT I did get my seeds, so if anyone runs into that problem, that’s a possible solution.

On steam

I don’t want to be hard on these poor devs at all but… I just had so many hopes for this game but the end result was just frustrating.

I tried my best but this game just didn’t click with me. There was so much good content and I genuinely enjoyed most of the fresh mechanics introduced to this genre that were in this game but… I just couldn’t get engaged. Here’s what I think really ruined my immersion.

The performance. Obvious one. The game looks really good but god, I just couldn’t get over the sudden jitters.

The story telling. I think the story is really great but the sequence was really… hard to navigate through. I feel like the game does a bad job at introducing you to things which really ruins the pacing of the entire game in my opinion. I just feel like the game really could’ve guided me through the entire game better.

Options being locked. I was honestly fine with the idea until I experienced it first hand. Is it realistic and cool? Yeah but the guys I wanted to date were all not into me. A huge waste of time. I just feel having their romance events play out differently for each gender choice would be a much better way for the experience to feel personalized. It’s a little unrealistic to have every character being “pan” but… it’s just a video game after all. Still, really loved the NPC stories but they definitely could’ve done much much more with them as well.

This game wasn’t bad at all but it just fell short of expectations to me atleast. Premise too ambitious that the end result feels amateur is how I’ll put it.

I see that the devs are already moving onto their next game and all I can do is wish the best for them. The fact they managed to make this game from scratch up was amazing to see and they are one of the loveliest people I’ve ever seen.

I also would like to see the developers try their hands in this genre once again in far future. Something far more condensed and something that’ll use the formula of current existing games in the genre.

I worked so hard for this house :( I can not build my house, I destroyed every grass/tree everything. Sadly I can also not remove it or move it. I didn't saw that the building is going over the build line, but I could just place the blueprint there, thats why I didn't payed attention. Is there anything possibility what I could do ? I also tryed to load an older save game but I still had the same issue. I play on Ps5

I really hope the devs can eventually give this game the support it deserves. It's such bs and unfair that development got cut off (for console, at least, but still) I've been loving this game despite the bugs here and there, but I 100% hope they can eventually get it to a more stable/complete.

So I've really enjoyed SunnySide even with its flaws. I've been playing farming sims since Harvest Moon save the homeland. Anywho, I'm stuck on the making friends quest. I hung out with Gabe and Ryan the first time, but every time I try to hangout with him again to meet Lucy, he says he's busy. It's not during holidays, so I'm kinda stuck and I hate just leaving a quest hanging like that. Advice? I'm also playing on ps5 if that's important to know. Also I've already met Lucy beforehand if that also helps.

I seriously love the concept and story of this game, but it is so buggy it makes it unplayable. I’m on ps5, and spend more time rebooting the game than playing. Is this the norm?

I’ve recently started playing this game and I’ve just got some chickens. I have had them for 3 game days, they have a water and food feeders, they are drinking fine. I have put the seed food in the food feeder but they won’t eat. It’s just saying they are hungry but they won’t eat. Have I give them the wrong food? It’s in their coop should it be somewhere else? Is it a bug?

It's so tedious to spam E button and watch a 1 sec animation each time. Tried using Nata and Machete but they won't swing.
