Goxen would certainly become immune to my attacks somewhat frequently. I could hit them one or two times and then further attacks wouldn’t register at all. I could walk up to the point I took damage from touching them, but still nothing happened when I attacked, and I could go to another goxen in the area and kill it no problem. It would happen to maybe 1/4 of them

Fairly fun game and lots of potential, but I agree with the others that early game is kinda miserable. I’ve not tried the new update with tutorials, so maybe that helps, and I’ve only had one “play through” but the whole time it felt like it would get really interesting any minute, but never did. I realize we’re very early in development, so I hope you don’t take this as too strong of a criticism. 

I had no idea how necessary endurance would be when building my character and didn’t put any points into it, when I should have put every point into it. The entire first season I spent going and cutting down one or two trees or mining a couple pieces of stone until I was out of stamina, sleeping again before 8am, then repeating and adding any points I might earn into endurance. By the time I was able to reliably keep myself fed and build a small shelter, the NPCs almost all had their houses built already and there wasn’t anything left for me to do. I don’t know what the solution to this would be, maybe increasing base stamina or adding an early game food source that gives you a decent amount. If I’d built my character better this wouldn’t have been an issue, but I don’t think you should be able to build what looks like a reasonable character to someone new to the game but it be completely useless. 

Another complaint is I feel like the time of things doesn’t fit really well. Level-ups come really fast, crops grow really fast, seasons change really fast, skills can be leveled really fast, but then research takes 30 days. Even though I could barely get anything done for the first season and I still would be asleep by noon on most days after then, I was able to complete the majority of the content available in the demo before the end of the first year and was just sleeping away the days to unlock my first research. I think the rest of the gameplay needs slowed down, or research needs sped up. 

Only bug I’ve encountered is that goxen frequently seem to become immune to attacks from my sword and I have to hit them with my beam attack, which can also be a bit finicky at times. Don’t know if I could hit them with a bow in that state, never tried it
