Hey Farmers!

Whilst art's being made for portraits and devlogs are being cooked up, I figure these sneakpeeks are a good way to let y'all see what's being worked on and what there is to get excited for.

So, appropriately, here's a little glimpse at the game's first proper antagonist, The Dryad Guardian!

As you can see, she's not exactly the friendliest.

A fact that will very much become obvious when you meet her towards the beginning of the game. She's not going to be terribly fond of the little village using her precious dryads as crops, so she doesn't intend to take kindly to you.

Maybe she's the reason those little pink flowers keep growing everywhere?

Once the "Deep Woods" combat is added to the game, she'll be the first boss you encounter on your journey, eager to kick you right out of her forest once and for all. So get ready to see plenty of her in future builds!

But for now, hopefully this little glimpse is sufficient! ;)

She is immaculate (just like the rest of your work). I'm sure you aren't implying something with hostile reveals..

Hey new person here, I noticed you can eat food in your inventory, but it doesn't seem to do anything

Dandys Chest

Yeah, not yet! But next build, Sky will be able to gain weight if you eat enough, and when combat is added, it'll be a way to recover health! :)

the game is beautiful! I had the pleasure of playing with three interactive characters, but, I say but, in the future update are we expecting new cows to raise?!🫣

I already love her 🥹 Beautiful work! Can't wait to see what more you've got in store for us in this update and how we'll "defeat" her 👀

Hearing there's going to be combat in this game is making me think about the ExpanD&D homebrew. One can hope, lol.

do we get to interact with her more after we defeat her? I love her!

Dandys Chest

I'm not sure yet! Maybe some sort of "museum/zoo" at some point down the line to keep all the pacified bosses you've defeated or something similar, just so you can drop by and have a chat with her. :P

Hey, new farmer here! Just finished the 0.0.3.8 update. First, with fetish stuff aside, I gotta say you have a really well made game developing! The mechanics, pacing, and aesthetics are 🤌. Though, there is a bug that forced me out of the game when exiting the barn, nothing game breaking if you save frequently enough. I don’t know if that was noted on here already, but yeah. Another thing I noticed was there were SO many resources (wood, metal, stone). So much so, that I sold half of it as a way to boost some financing. Maybe there's gonna be more use for them in the future? Also, I hadn’t looked too deep into the patreon page when starting out, and didn’t realize you could click on Izzy for help. I know that was a me problem, but will there ever be some sort of controls guide in a possible future menu update? I’d probably say the best part of the game so far is the NPC animation/interactions. Especially when they’re immobile. Everything’s just so fluid and works well with the environment. That, the lighting, and the ambiance make the game feel so polished, even though it’s still under development. Will Candace have more of a variety of food to purchase? Are there going to be more potions? (i.e. One that makes the Dryads water meter deplete quicker, like the digestion one?) Other than that, I think it’s an amazing thing with A LOT of potential! Can’t wait for the next devblog! I’ll leave now 🫡

Hey mate!! And welcome! To address what you said in order: First, thank you so much, that means a lot! I've noted the barn bug you found and I'll try to look into what might have caused it. This build has unfortunately introduced a myriad of crashes that I've been trying to stomp out little by little. Third, yes! The resources will play a big part in the game and will be used for all the crafting later on as it's introduced, both to make stuff like furniture as well as stuff that will actually help you on the farm! But for now, since there's no way to get new resources once they're all gone, I've filled the chest with a TON of them so you don't have to run out (and, of course, as a way to cheat and sell a bunch for money for those who wanna cut to the good stuff!) Since the game's early in development with not a lot to do while waiting to make money, I figured shortcuts like that are fine for anyone who doesn't wanna sit around and wait, but obviously that'll be patched out later. Fourth, a small tutorial will come along with the opening cutscene in the next build! It'll cover the basic controls and stuff, as well as a reminder to check in with Izzy for extra tips! Candace will mostly sell sweets later on, as well as ingredients. This'll encourage people to cook most foods rather than buy them outright. She sells most foods right now just as a way to get it until it has a proper recipe. And more potions will definitely come with time, such as a weight loss potion for anyone who wants to reset one of the girls' weights or something similar! :) Hope this helps! <3
