Farming has been added!
🕑 Added 2023-07-08 20:15:55 +0000 UTCAt first this was going to be a simple 1-day addition... Just some crops... but as usual it ended up being a week-long project. Over 40 hours in so far... and still a bit more to add. But, anyways, I believe it was worth it! There is way too much to show in one image so I'll describe it after:
So, Firstly, You start in a forested area, with only a Tent. There are 50 trees that can be cut down and an old silo to collect stones from. You use stones to build paths to each area: Town, Pond, Cave, Forest... to unlock the areas where you meet the women. You can also uncover three fields, the image shows the North field, which allows growing 6 basic crops. There is also a medium and high quality crop field. The crops seeds are randomly found (similar to searching the other areas for minerals, fish and forage) but then you plant the seed and wait 3~12 days (depending on crop type) to harvest. Likely the crop values will reflect this extra effort.. You increase your chances of finding better crops by researching Farming at the Library. You can only grow one crop at a time (in each field) and you can gift them to the women (if they like it) or sell the crops, similar to other items in the game. You can upgrade your residence 5 times (image is level 3), but it's optional as is farming and tree-cutting in general...
The only mandatory steps are remove 2 trees in front of the silo, gather 20 stone, and build the 4 paths to the women areas. The rest is aesthetic.
Currently, you would want to space out the farming activities since they use time and meanwhile the women will be getting seduced/blocked by the other men. I might need to add a week delay on the men interacting with the women, due to the farming and having 3 women to interact with now... Eventually, house choice will give bonuses. Perhaps, Abigail has no opinion, Leah, likes camping in the tent, and Penny likes children so want's a bigger house? I still need to code the Medium and High Quality fields and the Library research for Farming, but that should be one more day as the basic ideas are done.
So, once I finish this up, I am going to spend a week or two getting more art done for Haley. I still want to get her to a playable state before release!
