I think best games are not linear, which mean player do have ability to choose what he want to do in game and how he want to do this.
Which leading us to multiple solution to one problem or goal. In this sense have many variants to live in Portia and earn money - is good! Actually it will be bad if we do not have choice. Maybe in future you will come up with something else (another alternative to workshop and farming) and include it in game too - and this would be awesome!

It's not yet available to use.
Maybe you need to make it early access so steam users see it and can participate in leaving feed back. Such approach quite popular in steam nowadays.
At current state (when there is no actual game in steam), steam users with much less chance know about game and even less find this link in itch.io to try out :)
Btw, are you same developers (or connected to) who made Stardew Valley or just inspired by it?
Really hope we will get some new content soon ^^
And also you to come to steam
p.s. Game need optimization - my video card coolers fly high when i play in it (which not happen to other more complicated from graphics point games), even when game minimized (alt-tab from game), so no real rendering happening. I have to say i play in 2560*1140 and my video is GTX 980 Ti, i have 2 monitors (second one is 4K), but i play on first one which is described before.
There is just nothing to do then :P chopping trees, mining stones etc = just grinding, so i was hoping i will get something new in tier 3 :)
p.s. is there something can be done with vehicle? i crafted it but didn't find where to use.
btw farming relics very boring process at this point, maybe you will consider to change it to something else (in sense of how it works) as after 2-3 times getting there it actually became annoying.
Fishing in other hand realized much better then in Stardew Valley - much more intuitive :)
"We’re debating whether we should keep or get rid of the names of the NPCs above their heads when the player gets close, on one hand, it’s really convenient, on the other hand, it does break the illusion somewhat. What do you all think?'
Just make it as option in settings with default on (show names), so those who want to disable showing names, can do so.
By default i would let it stay, because even if characters are different from each other you need to get used to them to be able recognize.
