A downloadable game

first build is Finally live! 

To start I can't stress how much of an Alpha build this is as seen with a few known bugs.

Known Errors/bugs

  1.  there is an error with the player holding things floating out of their hand I don't know why this is happening but I feel when I work the models over this problem will go away. 
  2. Seeds & watering can don't deplete there is a problem that came up with how the extra areas of effect on tools function and I have to fix that I'm planning to overhaul how the soil in this game works to not only help with speeding up the game but also better handling how tools work.
  3. music isn't seamless until I develop my own music thats just going to be how it is sorry...
  4. starting the game may result in it not responding. optimizing the game will be how to fix it but I don't want to keep dreading over this game not getting set up right.
  5. tool animation doesn't work, the way the layering system in unity works goes against how I animated the character so it will have to be absent for the time being. (Fixed)
  6. camera clipping is just going to have to be a thing I am planning to over haul how the camera works later sorry.
  7. sprite doesn't change when character state changes. this is resolved when you talk to them without giving them stuff but for now again sorry.
  8. when talking the game will tell you that space [-] or the south face button is to continue but thats false it's [x] or the  east face button. (this has been fixed)
  9. Seasons don't cause environmental changes (I'm only human)

Future planed features

  1. character homes
  2. more fleshed out schedules (I have to make a better schedule creation system that will allow me to have the NPC have more to do faster and easier.
  3. weight base dialogue ( there is dialogue when they are full but I want to add more to that later on.
  4. a real options menu with audio mixing.
  5. more fully rendered weight stages for sprites and all of them having different emotions.
  6. event cutscenes (this one is going to be a challenge for a while...
  7. lighting and environments that fit the characters (this will either be next or Way Later.
  8. Holidays and character birthdays
  9. character customization, (name, birthdate, equipment visuals).
  10. Recipes and crafting .  (I already made the function I just need to set up how to get recipes)
  11. more character animation this will also be (Way Later).
  12. Food Items giving buffs as well as adventure zones to go to. This will be both hard and easy to make.
  13. Livestock (
  14. Town building and (think animal crossing villagers moving in but you can evict them if you desire) 
    1. That being said there will be set NPC's in the town but I will make it that you can choose where to put them.
  15. changing environment look.
  16. Crop model Overhaul, for better optimization and general look of the game. 

Current build

as of right now there are 4 characters including the player character that you can watch grow. you can give them food as much as you want in this build no matter how full they get but this could be featured to change later.

all crops are available to buy and grow. there is also the favorite foods to give to the characters available in the shop. To buy and feed.

characters have changing dialogue for what state they are in, this dialogue is bound to change for when I have a better concept for how I want these characters to be.

Saving is in but, let me know if it doesn't work I hear some functions get lost between downloads sometimes.

Character sprites have 5 weight levels as well as a stuffed version (40 drawings in total) :^| 

Let me know if window size is too big I will change it later on. for monitors that cant handle 720P.

Support

this game is a solo development, as of right now I managed to get a build done but soon I might have to shelf this as of right now my funding has dried up. 

if you would like for me to continue steadily working on this game any support would be welcome either on my Patreon

You can commission me on my Kofi.

If I can receive a steady Income of at most 1000 a month I can start doing this at full steam.


With all that said I look forward to feed back both positive and negative to help me make a better game. hope you can find something to enjoy in this build and will ad more to it later on.

another promising project left to rot

Em, is this playable? I cant choose new game, only W and S are working. 

not on pc currently, sadly

Not on PC? So it's works on mobile?

sorry for the late reply if you are using the mouse to click the buttons that's not going to work. you have to press Space/enter in order to select the new game option. hope this helps the new version of the game is being worked on so that mouse and keyboard is universal on the menu.

I love this game I'm just not sure what the controls even are am i supposed to press the minus button for saving or the space

sorry for the late reply.

space, the save game prompt is a little wonky but after pressing right or left it wil start working.

Hey, I like the concept for the game so far! I'm having trouble harvesting the turnips right now though. They get fully grown and I used the sickle on them, but they don't show up in my inventory. :(

sickles only delete crops when used on them only certain crops will give you something if you use the sickle on them like grass. I'm planning to make other crops give you something when the sickle cuts them like wheat and rice but that will be later as I am currently over hauling the game. Hope that helps :). 

Hey man, think you have a solid idea here. Can tell it's an alpha but I'm interested

thank you glad you liked it.

dunno whats up with alpha 1_5 but i cant click on any of the buttons except the links to patreon and deviant art and such

sorry the other game buttons are only controller supported seeing how this is a common problem next major update will have the buttons be clickable with mouse.

Deleted 1 year ago

sorry this only has support for PC right now I thought Mac could support it as well but I might have to do something more if that's what you mean.

I'm getting an error message when trying to install the game in the Itch launcher

(1 edit)

I don't know anything about that are you trying to play the game through itch, if so I didn't set anything like that up. If you are trying to download the zip then thats a major problem. 

Edit: if you are looking at the update notes the previous versions of the game are not there if it doesn't say V4 then nothing will be there I don't know why itch is keeping those when I told it to delete it. sorry for the inconvenience. 

how are you supposed to make money ? can't sell any item at the shop.

the shipping bin next to the farm is where you place items to sell

i have problems starting the game, doesn´t allow me to select anything

(1 edit)

I've recently updated try doing so now keep in mind the only thing the mouse can click on is the support button the rest is gamepad / mouse and keyboard 

I have been informed of these issues I'm sorry about that the have been fixed and the camera has been changed.

saving doesn't work for me 

Wanted to say that the camera sensitivity is wayyy too high. and the UI (icons) are really pixelated I dont know if it was intended but I cant play this game with such settings. Also when you go to bed it will make your screen black forever.

the UI are mainly place holders I wanted to get the core game working first before I got to working on fidelity. I also fixed the other bugs mentioned sorry for the inconvenience.
