Why ai small

Why is the subreddit so small? I love this game/demo. I really want this to hurry and release because I've been looking into sim, farming, romance. This is the first one I've played with the exception of animal crossings (which I'm not going to lie sucks in comparison). I have Stardew Valley which I havent even played yet. Im impatient to wait for starsand so I am thinking if I should check out coral Island; but I feel like it won't compare to Starsand. Anyone think I should just wait??

I need this community to grow! I can play this for hours
