Wonder crops - How big is too big? (expand)


Still hard at work on the farming system. The game at least has time and the inventory all working so it will be easy to hook everything together. But thats not what this post is about!

Wonder crops

one of the things I've been wanting to do is make the farming system more fun and introduce a few new mechanics, hence Wonder crops.

Wonder crops are grown over a 3x3 set of dirt tiles on the farm and require far more care to maintain and grow. They need to be heavily watered. fetilised and kept free of weeds. Their seeds cannot be bought in-game. instead you will need to find someone around town and befriend them to learn the secrets of these mega veggies and how an ordinary bag of seeds can be used to plant them. Wonder crops are worth more than the total price of 9 of their basic version and will yield a generous amount of seeds if you wish to use them and not sell them.

Hi everyone, I wanted to put my project back out there after taking some time off. Fnafkit is a game about creating custom fnaf games with no need for programming. I'm also looking for anyone interested in helping out! https://gamejolt.com/games/TKFNAF/444860

I know updates have been slow but there really isn't much to talk about when you're just tidying up existing code. We're looking at updating the art style to be just that bit nicer. The crop system working with an overhaul to interactions with tools.

VERY early test of very basic systems in my new project. Do your work, keep the lights on, and everything will be fine. I really want to gush about some of the things not seen here, but will save that until they can be shown off. FnafKit who?

Lightweight object recoloring test. This test is looking at coloring defined areas with as little excess data as possible and uses NO mask maps, alternate materials and does not break object batching (won't melt the PC when you have hundreds of swatches!)

Quick update on the project, Dialogue system has been rewritten from the old version of the game, functionally the same but a lot easier to use. The camera has been worked on and the inventory is being expanded with things like drag and drop.

Asking the big questions today. We won't support changing your characters outfit or gender but you can give our beloved testguy a name. Character customization will come later, as it will take planning to get it as versatile as we want at the moment.

Finally, you can sell the fruits/veg of your labour. :)

I'm currently working on a new game with a team of people. Here's a mannequin being assaulted for test purposes. Gotta do what you gotta do for your damage systems.

working on a new mechanic for the prototype. no need to wander over to those far away items when you can just send in your drone.

Our latest efforts have been rewriting our scene change code and with that comes some lovely transitions made using a greyscale image and a new shader.
