The deeper you go, the darker it gets...

I'm bad at predicting time frames 😆 every time i think we've only got a few weeks left, something pops up to steal my focus lol... we're still making progress though, getting the village updated, combat reworked a bit, and ai improvements.

digging the title screen, and the music helps make it feel like a real game lol.

what do you think?

random post, but this is where 85% of the game was built lol. my sister is selling it and it'll be gone tomorrow, but i wanted to document and share. a little 'behind the scenes' type thing lol.

The freedom of the crafting and decorating system can lead to some interesting decisions lol. but we figure, if the player wants to, why not? doesn't break the game to let them place things where they want to... and if they make weird stuff, so be it

if you're interested in learning a bit more about us, we were featured in the february issue of Indie Gamer Magazine. he did an amazing spread for us amd some other awesome looking indie games, check it out!

We're launching a demo for our game "From the Heartlands" soon, if you'd like to check it out we have a page for it here on gamejolt now 😀. Heal the land, build up your homestead, help your neighbors and fight back the Witherbark.

Reworked some of the farming systems to help a bit with more accurate placement. so now the player can walk when they're tending the garden and the hit locator will change colors depending on if it hits something else or not.

Testing and balancing combat. haven't implemented magic yet, but that will put a whole new spin on it. skeletons are a bit tough for level 1 but it can be done. they're in the 6-10 range.

Finally got some icons for the craftables and decorations, so here's a little video of decorating the homestead.
