... that Coral Island's publisher Humble Games was laid off, causing the Switch port to be put on hold?

ALT1: ... that farm sim Coral Island reached its Kickstarter goal within 36 hours? Source: https://www.pcgamesn.com/coral-island/kickstarter "impressively, it hit this within the first two days. Just 36 hours, in fact. So, safe to say plenty are excited to see the game hit Steam later this year."

The majority of this article's 5x expanded content is not cited, which given the scope of it is insurmountable for the purposes of DYK. Also the hook is not interesting - I would wager that getting a release or port delayed over company business is pretty common. The second is a little interesting but still scraping the bottom of the barrel, a lot of games had kickstarter goals that they reached fast. PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:55, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Fine, I would like to withdraw this then. I didn't think about the fact that it needs more citations. Maybe the plot section doesn't need them because they can be verified in game. A hook about it being one the most successful Kickstarters of 2021 maybe more interesting. But due to the amount of work, the fact im withdrawing it still stands. It isn't my own work anyways.

Gameplay Section

I just did a preliminary copy edit pass, however the majority of the Gameplay section seems to violate WP:NOTGUIDE which puts it out of compliance with the MOS for video game articles (MOS:VG). I'll likely come back to this in a couple days and significantly trim the article as part of more copy editing if no one has a compelling objection.
