Hey, guys!

I was wondering if some of you could tell me what exactly Village Sim is about? I've seen the game synopsis and it sounds interesting, but I'd like more info!

If I like what I hear, I might get the PC version when it comes out.

I do play Fish Tycoon, so I'm not a total newbie when it comes to LDW games.

Hi, Rainbowfish,

If you have a Palm OS device, you could download the trial version and find out for yourself.

If you don't have one, then I guess you could check thru the VS section here and also over at 1src.com. I think you will get plenty of info. The game synopsis tells it best, so I wonder what else could we tell you other than get it if you like to play God?! Hehe!

Fssia,

No handheld devices whatsoever - unless you count my cellphone. hehe!

I've been going through the VS section, yeah.

and thanks for the link. I'll check it out soon!

I know the overview. I just wanted to know what you guys liked about it.

Okay, Okay, I'll bite. I'm too eager to wait for the trial version in Windows. LOL.

Hmmm...what do I like abt it? It's hard to put into words but I can try.

I guess one of them is the challenge of rebuilding a viable village in the new island home with the original 5 displaced villagers.

The puzzles are usually the ones that work me really hard. After that, it's just to satisfy my curiousity on how things work in VS, eg. if I've Masters in Farming breeding with Masters in Medicine, what kind of skills will the kid inherit and stuffs like that.

I started with the Easy game. Solved that, then I proceed to the Normal game and last but not the least I challenge the Hard game. It's the same game but the difficulty level makes life harder for the villagers and makes it more challenging for me.

There are also some fun/ cute things you would observe or find. Things that may surprise you a bit the first time you encounter it.

Then there is the many approaches you could take to tackle the game. It's for me a kind of exploration and discovery, I guess.

It sounds cool, thanks. I'm definitely trying out the trial version when it comes to Windows.

No problem, Rainbowfish. Glad I could help convince you, hehe!

Too bad you don't have a Palm device, it's more fun on a portable device, so you could check it more often. That's why I still prefer Palm version of the Isola trilogy to Windows version.

A college student on a budget can not afford a Palm device.

On the upside, my computer is portable. It's a laptop. I usually bring it on vacations and trips.

At the moment, my classes are over the Internet, so I can stay home and close to my computer all day with no problem.

I hope that they come out with it soon! Like, really really soon. I've been saving up my spare coins and I have just nearly enough to afford another game.

Do you have any idea how soon it'll be? I hope by the end of the month.

Rainbowfish

LOL! I have absolutely no idea whatsoever when it will be released. We'll need to ask Arthur or Carla abt that.

Ahhh it's a portable PC, well, close enough I guess. Just much heavier and bulkier but you may get more out of the Windows version of VS based on how FT on Windows seems to have been given extra stuffs as compared to Palm version.

You can check the development progress of the Windows version by clicking here.

Ah, asking the developers directly... hmm.

Do you think that they'll actually answer such a question or just leave us all in the dark?

Well, heavy, yes, and the battery drives me crazy but, ah, as you said, the windows version could be better than the palm version.

And, yes, I've heard about the extras in the Windows version of Fish Tycoon. Did you know that there's no seahorse in the Palm version? I was surprised to find that out.
