Oh you can do a fancy thing like that, cool

I’ve just released a new jam game. This time, you’re a witch making potions. Please play it!

I have a plan for a first version of the game where there is an actual game you can play, even if it isn’t as meaty as the final game will be. Smaller tasks are easier to manage and work towards!

More models from soi!

Now I need to fix the animations on the player model to do it justice!

New tree models. Get chopped!

I think that’s the interior stuff for now. Already works pretty well. Going to work on some other important base features now!

A bug on a tree! You better sneak up to it or it’ll get spooked and fly away!

So yeah. Hopefully I’ll pick up steam again and have more updates. Sorry!

Hoping to expand on this over the next week. Even these placeholder models take a lot of my time, which I could be using to code more gameplay features. :(

These flowers also use the genetics system, meaning you can mix them and make hybrids!

Made some flower models!

Had to rework the inventory system to accept stuff like item qualities. It broke a lot of stuff, but I got it back to a working state in under an hour, which was pretty nice! I have two qualities on every item. It'll be unused on most, but for those that need it it'll be there. For example, fruits and seeds: if you plant a Great fruit, there'll be a better chance of Great fruits spawning on that tree, and it might - very rarely - drop Supreme fruits too. If you plant a Supreme there'll be almost no chance you'll get a Basic fruit, and a higher chance to get Supremes. It's a super simple example of genetics, but I think this kinda thing really adds a lot of fun to games like this one.

Plants will have Quality and Yield modifiers. Higher quality genes mean your plant has a higher chance of dropping 2 or 3-star produce. Higher yield genes means your plant might drop a few extra tomatoes or beets when you harvest it!

I reimplemented basically everything I made in 3 months in less than a week (and just a couple hours a day at that, tops). The code is much cleaner and extensible, there's barely any no hacks, and everything just works. With how fast I made this stuff I'm really satisfied.
