Post GGJ #3


All the essentials of the intended game play loop have now been implemented!

This includes:

  • Increased max stock for each type to 3.
  • Letting a type sit in hand too long (unplanted) or fully rotted away in the garden (unpicked) decreases max stock by 1.
  • Planting near the desired "heart" type can replenish 1 lost stock.
  • Planting within range of the desired compass location can replenish 1 lost stock.
  • The mini icons have been simplified to reduce information crowding and strain.
  • The character portrait frames have been modified to become timing rings to force planting.
  • Due to the importance of the timing ring in providing information, the opening screens now include an option to (hopefully) help with color-blindness accessibility.

Not yet included:

  • A proper game over condition with an accompanying end screen and final score.
  • A tutorial or in-game instruction screen(s).
  • While the mini-icons now use a subtle visual flair, the effect has not yet been properly staggered.
