We have a LOT of down-to-Earth, slice-of-life content right now, but we're still pretty skimpy on magical/sci-fi elements. I'm still waiting on werewolves (which should have been RIGHT AFTER FRIKIN' VAMPIRES, mind you), and there are people waiting on fairies, genies, imaginary friends, mutants/superheroes, some better outer space content (I'd personally love a pack that allows me to upgrade my rocket into a starship that I can actually play inside and set up however I like--steampunk, "used future" , atom punk, bamboo technology, bio-ship, etc.), occults from somewhere other than Europe and the Middle East, and improved plant sims too.
Look, I get it, I like Stardew Valley and all, but I THINK that things like farming and theme parks and other more down-to-Earth things can hang back for a release or two to add some more supernatural and sci-fi stuff for those of us who enjoy it...Especially werewolves. That should be the NEXT FREAKING GP. PERIOD. I'm so tired of the mass media treating werewolves like plum...
All we've had this year for game packs (which this poll was about) were sci-fi tho.
No. We had one sci-fi and one fantasy theme. However, we are still missing a LOT of more fantastical elements. Meanwhile, out of the entire line of GP's, EP's, and SP's, we have had 17 pure Slice-of-Life packs, 3 pure Fantasy/Sci-Fi packs, and 4 packs that are mainly Slice-of-Life with some mild Fantasy/Sci-Fi elements. So, yes, If we only get two GP's in 2020, I don't think it's unreasonable for at least ONE of them to have a sci-fi or fantasy theme, because supernatural play is SEVERELY neglected next to the normal slice-of-life stuff. What it's like for supernatural simmers right now is what it would feel like for slice-of-lifers if nearly every addition to the game since launch had been centered around magic, aliens, and mad science, while the only things added for more realistic daily life had been pools, Toddlers, pets, and dish washers. It's just as maddening as that.
There needs to be a better balance in the types of content available. Three GP's and a cameo presence in 4 packs is not enough supernatural content. It certainly wouldn't be for slice-of-life gameplay. What makes you think it's enough for supernatural players?
