There are no mistakes here friends. Just happy little hamlets.

The Bob Ross of puzzle games played by the Bob Ross of Let's Players. Wonderful.

I love this game. No pressure. No winning, no loosing. You play until you finish, then you play again.

And so the person who tempted me into buying this game tempts me to buy it for my friends. Dorfromantik is a genuinely delightful little game that is perpetually chill and hardly any stress, unless you add the stress yourself. A point of note, perfects not only give you more points, but they also give you a bonus tile, so they can be what saves a run if you can find some perfects with your last tiles.

I could totally see saving a map after you were done with a level of this game, and using that as your map of a tabletop roleplaying city and surrounding area. Wish there were also hills/mountains

You do get an extra tile for every 6side perfect tile. Careful placement can extend your game significantly.

Aavak theres a game i want to recommend to you because i know youll love it and the community will love watching you play it. Alba: a wildlife adventure. The game play is a delightful run around mediterrain island photographing animals and helping the local community

This game feels like the perfect game for just relaxing, glad you are showing it off.

It is a grave crime that there isn't already 100 hours of Aavak playing this uploaded already! I hope this gets fixed as soon as possible! Always enjoy the calm and creative content on this channel!!

I don’t really get to your streams that often, but this is perfect for how I watch Aavak After Hours. Relaxing, methodical, and with little stories emerging from the game.

Every time I load this game up and the music starts my cat jumps up on my desk and curls up between me and my keyboard. This, of course, makes this game even more enjoyable and adorable.

Apparently the KZfaq algorithm decided that this video was what I needed this evening, and by golly it was right. My soul feels soothed. The little stories you created as you played fully embodied the spirit of Bob Ross and I enjoyed it immensely. (I definitely need this game.)

An Aavak stream of this would be therapy.

I can totally see D&D DMs using this as a tool to make maps for campains

I love that you create little stories for why certain features become the way they are. Not only does it keep viewers entertained but it really makes the world feel alive, like I can imagine the people here settling down making farms, towns, or wacky train tracks that go everywhere and nowhere. Would totally love to see a stream of this!

Much Dorf. Very romantik.

Making massive water tile (rivers or lakes) or railway networks is probably a good habit to have, because some of the 3 challenge missions up in the top right of the screen will award you new colours for boats and locomotives for building a sufficiently large connected network of their respective tiles. I'm still trying to unlock the final few train and boat colours and I've played this game since it first came out on steam early access.

5:05 - Ohhh, that feature to show perfect placement is awesome! I didn't know that lakes qualify as perfect against fields until just now!

bob ross is a good analog of why i sometimes have an aavak stream in the background.

This game is quite charming. I'm really thinking of picking this up because of this video specifically. Seem like a very relaxing way to pass some time, doesn't hurt that it is super pretty. Thanks for this Aavak.

28:50 this is one of the beauties of narrow gauge steam engines, you get all the charm of a steam engine but because it's tiny it's not as deafeningly loud up close! :D

The first five minutes is all it took to convince me to get the game haha. I love how chill it is and yet has some strategy in it. It looks so perfect to relax with. Thank you for the video!

Love this game and your coverage of it! Excited for another video on it =]

I first bought Dorfromantik after seeing your first taste video, many moons ago. This game has brought so much joy and relaxation for me, so I'm glad to see it in full release and being revisited here!

Please stream this game, your style of playing and narrating is just so calming. I could listen and watch this for hours and hours.

Well I was going to sleep but if aavak is going to be playing dorf I can put it off a bit

I would absolutely love more content of this :)

I've not see train tracks like that since I first played Transport Tycoon, back in the day! Love the feel of this game, nice and chilled.

this video is the closest to get Aavak to say "if you dont play it this way you play the game wrong" but not quite get him to say it. Good job Dorfromantik you are walking the perfect balance between casual gaming and competitive puzzle gaming!

6:38 "It is the challenges that give you more tiles, perfection just gives you more points" - actually perfect placements do give you tiles too. Any time you surround a tile with perfect placements it grants you an additional tile. So you can get up to 7 bonus tiles from one placement if all the surrounding tiles your placing against have also been perfectly placed prior to it. And that's more than the 5 you get from fulfilling quests. So its actually a huge part of the game. Once you get the hang of balancing out working towards perfect placements vs cashing in (and possibly ruining perfect placements for some tiles) tiles when you need to, you'll find your high scores will increase dramatically. In the early game I'll usually go out of my way to maintain perfect placements as best as I can because you start off with a nice tile buffer to be able to do so. This way as the game progresses and tiles start to get lower I can do my best to fill in the middle of the board as I get the right tiles and start elevating my tile count in between quests. Sometimes I'll go with a "close enough" tile if I'm getting really low on tiles and need the tile boost to continue on. Which is fine because you can still pick up a number of tiles on a single placement if you've been building things out correctly. But if you have the tile buffer, its always worth placing perfect edges as that'll allow you to continue to replace tiles as you go by getting those super satisfying 7 tile perfect placements. The way I see it, each tile replaces itself when its perfectly surrounded Obviously that's not going to happen every time, so if that was the only way to replace tiles it'd be a zero sum game. So I actually see the quests as supplemental to tile placement, vs the other way around. The quests are a buffer to compensate on the eventual losses you'll take when you can't meet the real goal of the game: perfect placements.

Rambly Aavak keeps me sane.

I like the way you play this. The game suits your style well. I would like to see you play more.

This game was such an unexpected gem. So glad to have picked it up and am still enjoying it.

i feels like walking around some area and discovering where things are.. feels great!

This game is so sillily charming and wonderful.

Love this game! I've seen it around awhile ago. I had no idea that it was fully released!!

Oo, it has creative mode and saves? I’m sold! Thank you for this long, wonderfully calming video, as well. :)

Added comment: I sure wouldn't mind seeing more of this. There's always need for some chill LPs.

I enjoy classic most, to try and unlock my tiles, but I frequently will continue in creative until I get bored.

Thanks for showing. I had not seen this one before.

Great to see this. Thanks.

Just started Dorfromantik on classic mode. It's such a nice comfy game. Your Let's Play helped me figure out how to complete the challenges better!

Aavak is the Dorfromantik of streamers. protip: I think the best thing to look for is completing all 6 sides of a tile perfectly. It gives you a large bonus and a free tile.

I think a chill stream listening to you would be a balm to many frayed nerves

Just bought this wonderful game. A little hint: You can undo your last tile with the arrow button in the lower right corner :) If an accident ist not a little happy one ;)

Was watching Cringer play this on twitch yesterday evening. Managed to turn a crappy start to work in to a chilled start and made me ready for a busy night at work. I'm so buying it for myself later

I got the steam notification that it was released and within hours got the notification for your upload. It's been on my wishlist since your First Taste, so I bought it today. Played one session and am in love with it!

From Bob Ross of puzzle games to using train tracks to summon Cthulhu. I sense the strong presence of the dark bean.

I love this game too!!! Bought it ages ago, and totally agree, if Bob Ross made a chill puzzle game!!! Would totally watch a more of you playing!

This game is delightful and if you ever choose to stream this I would appreciate the experience. Thank you, Aavak, for introducing this game to me.

Please do more! I loved this video and it felt like the hour went by so quickly♥️

This is such a lovely game! Incidentally, it's also the game that got me to sub in the first place! Thanks for playing it again! 😁 Also, I got my normal number of ads (2 back to back every fifteen minutes or so) for this video. 😄

*eyetwitch* I could never play this game. So many times I was holding back from yelling at the screen "No, Aavak, place the tile THERE!" when you were putting something down. This is a perfectionist's nightmare.

Personally I'm the kind of person who plays games to create. i choose creative mode, or I use commands or dev tools or mods to make myself essentially in creative mode. there are a few exceptions (mostly games with none of those options), but overall I like to build freely

This game is so enjoyable to have on the second monitor and your presentation of it is wonderful! Thank you :)

Absolutely love this game. This would be delightful as a chatty chill stream!

this is a nice game. not sure if you know Aavak, but when you create a perfect tile you get a tile back in your stack. this helped me overcome some of the challenges.

Thank you for this wonderful, delightful parenthesis of dapper ramblings and soothing artistry. You make such a great combination with the game it was simply enchanting.

its like townscaper, but there's more game to it

Love watching you play this game. It's so chill.

Perfects are not just for score. Completing a perfect tile gets you a tile added to your draw pile. This sounds bad at first blush as completing a challenge gets you 5. But, as you noted, challenges tend to get larger as you go along. The initial perfect is 1 tile for 7 placed tiles. But, if you chain perfects off that initial placement you start to lower that cost immensely. IE, the 2nd perfect off the first would only cost an additional 3 tiles. 2 for the next perfect, etc.

I've been waiting for this game to release in full and I'm glad you made a video, fell in love with this game from the first look. And I too was wondering if you would ever stream this game. Aavak keep being the amazing person you are!

This looks like a lot of fun & relaxing. Thanks for sharing.

So happy to see you playing more of this game! It's so lovely and relaxing. Wish I could afford it. Might ask for it for Mother's day. A stream of this would be so chill!!

This game is super cute and I may have to grab it just to ease my stress and anxiety... So many play options 💜💜💜

I would love to just watch you play this every once in awhile. It’s so soothing

accidently came over here, fell in love with a game and got in right after I watched your video

nice and easy and calm.

I would absolutely watch a live stream of this game, or video of this game. I didn't originally pick up this game after the original First Taste due to financial reasons, but now that it's released and there is a creative mode... 🤔

I actually waited a bit before watching this, now its time to relax before the work of the Day begins. Cuppa in Hand. Perfect.

Nice relaxing play! Definitely streamable!

Thanks. I needed it. Cant play the game. But watching this was a blessing.

You even had a really chill Bob Ross voice going on. :-)

Thank you. I needed this today.

Looks so good! Can't wait for the Switch release.

This is an absolute delight, Aavak. Thank you. I think I'd love an option to drop you into creative mode when you run out of game, so I could tidy up the world for its inhabitants, but I also think I'd end up losing days to it :)

I’d love to see you stream this. It seems like the perfect game for your style. ( or maybe it more fits my style of viewing your streams, just simply listening and not always understanding what’s going on)

Bought this game a few months ago. Really love it 🙂

Single player Carcasonne looks pretty neat.

Love watching you play this game, if my PC had a decent graphics card would definitely play the classic game. Jo 🙂

I am indeed watching from the distant future - the world has changed, it is not the dear blue planet you once knew, society has collapsed, and the ostriches have taken over. We belong to them now, they farm us for our eggs. Greetings from 29th April!

This is a lovely relaxing game. I personally like playing the creative mode.

Love the game. Dorfromantik is so relaxing to watch! Really glad to see you try the game, did you know, it's the master project of four blokes from Berlin? They are actually regularly updating the game, so I'm glad to see you try it once more at full release! Honestly, I'd love to see a long run of it, many creators on KZfaq only ever do a Let's Try and showcase the game once, but it's really fun to tune in into a landscape that's coming together, one tile at a time, beautifully narrated by Aavak, I'd say. After a long search, I found this nice danish bloke that does a run 50+ episodes and counting and has accrued a 130k+ score - also a very gentle person, maybe you two are up for a collaborative? (Fingers crossed!) Anyways, I'd love to see more of this on your channel, it's as soothing as watching you play Kingdom.

Avaak, quality content here!

New favorite letsplayer.

Ooo i would love more of this! Hard mode please!!

Looking forward to more !

I love this game and would love to see you stream it Aavak. If I was playing myself, I'd play creative mode.

If I tried this game I'd have to check out the custom mode. How relaxing would it be to just have 1k tiles at the beginning.

I would love a stream of yours playing Dorfromantik!

As someone who has spent a reasonable amount of time near steam engines. They're not that loud. Unless they want to be. And from my dad, who can operate them. They each have a personality. You can be the best engineer, but the engine may simply not like you, and you can't run it efficiently. Also, yes this needs to be streamed

I really really enjoyed watching this lets play, i would love you to stream this. Its so calming in combination with your voice.

More pls! such a fun game

Dorfromantik is a single player Carcasonne.

A happy little comment for your happy little algorithm would be nice right here! I think it lives really well by this Video of yours!

If I pick up this game I would start in normal mode, and probably attempt hard mode a few time here and there afterwards.

Its like colour version of tetris 💙 (TI-83 plus if I have to date myself)

Have already played this beautiful relaxing game, and watching you play it is truly relaxing. On a different note, is the game Terraformers on your radar? Lovely little turn-based game about resource management and developing a colony on Mars while also terraforming it.

Playing this in creative mode seems to me a little like Townscaper, similar style on a much closer scale

Don’t forget the undo button. This is a zero stress game.
