I started playing My Time in Portia in summer 2018 while it was an Early Access game, then played it quite a bit for a year.
According to Steam, I've played My Time in Portia half as many hours as I've played Stardew Valley, which surprised me.
I like the world, the anime-like characters, the crafting, the spouse options' backstories, easier fishing, and the lesser amount of battle involved (compared to SDV).
Just checked my saves and I have two end-game-ish saves, both with no children. That seems to be when my interest peters out...
There's been several updates since last year, though, so I'll keep my eye out on the next one.
I like starting new games...
