Hey everyone!
In the last month I've been working a lot on the compost system, which was demonstrated in the most recent devlog video. Some vegetables (such as the potato and cabbage) now require a suitable soil quality to grow, which means you'll need to add compost to the soil. Buy yourself a compost bin, place it in the world, fill it with the compost of your choice (which you can also buy from the shop) and then use the bucket tool to spread the compost over the desired area. Differ...

Hey everyone,
I hope you're all well. In the last few weeks I've implemented the save system and fruit producing plants.
Currently there's no main menu, so the options regarding saving/loading are rather limited! The game automatically saves when you close, and will reload the garden when you next play. If you'd like to start a new garden you'll have to manually delete the save file for now.
There are two new plants in the game - tomato plants and apple trees. Both of these ...

Hey everyone!
It's been another great couple of weeks of development on "Home Grown", my new farming game. I've been implementing the shops so that you can sell your produce and buy new seeds and equipment, and I also implemented placeable objects that can be added to your garden.
There are also a couple of small tweaks, such as the addition of a "turf" item which basically allows you to restore any tile to its original state.
All the changes can be seen in this week's devlo...

Hey everyone! I hope you’re all having a good start to 2022. I have a bit of news that I want to share with you.
The video above explains it all, but I’ll put the short version here. Over the last couple of years I’ve struggled with the development of the city-builder game, as I’m sure many of you have noticed! It’s been over two years now since I started development on this game and I feel like it’s not even a quarter of the way to completion yet. That has of course not bee...

Hey everyone!
Hope you're all well. This month I've been cleaning up a lot of the code for the roads and the placement tools in the game. The delete tool has also been reworked to allow the player to click and drag in order to delete large areas of the town in one go, instead of having to delete one tile at a time.
It's been a bit of a slow month in terms of progress and I had a few other things going on that meant I couldn't work on the game as much as I wanted to. I got about ha...

After finishing off the basic Activity system at the start of this month I moved onto working on some improvements to the road system. The biggest change was allowing the player to place multiple roads at once (no more individually placing every single road tile!), plus there are a few visual improvements.

Hey everyone!
It's been another decent month of progress on the city-builder game, although I did get a little bit stuck on some issues regarding saving and loading the new activities. After a few unsuccessful redesigns of the serialization code I finally made the breakthrough last week and it's all working smoothly now. For those who are interested, I'll explain the problem and my solution in a bit more detail below.

Hello everyone!
I hope you're all doing well. Since getting the good results from my operation last month, development on the game has been going so much better. I'm completely back in the gamedev flow, making lots of progress and enjoying every minute of it. I don't think I've been this productive since the Equilinox days!
I've spent all month working on the Activity system, which is perhaps the most important system in the game as it manages everything that the people do in the ...

I want to quickly update you on where I've been for the last month or so, and why there still haven't been any new devlogs or new progress updates.
I had to have another small operation on my tongue last week to remove a suspicious looking area close to where I had the cancer 3 years ago. I've been a bit worried about it for a while now, and got sent from doctor to doctor as they tried to determine whether it was dangerous or not. Eventually they decided to send me b...

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to let you know how development has been going this month. Things are definitely on the up again and progress in May has been pretty good - "slow and steady" is probably the best way to describe it!
I'm currently working on an activity system, which allows the little people in the towns to visit buildings and carry out activities there. Instead of them just wandering aimlessly around town they'll soon be dining in restaurants, caring for their gardens, vi...
2021-05-31 09:25:47 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
Just a quick update for you. The last month has been a bit of a write-off for me unfortunately. I had a few small health set-backs which took up a lot of my energy and time and so I didn't make much progress on development of the game. I of course paused the Patreon payments, so you haven't been charged for last month.
Anyway, I'm feeling fine now and those health problems seem to be all sorted at the moment, so I'm very motivated to get back to work on the game this...

Development has gone really well this month, and I've been making a lot of important improvements to the base systems of the game to finish off version 0.1. I've made some big changes to the save system, art creation process, UI library, as well as just generally tidying up much of the code and fixing all the pesky bugs that I know of. I now feel like I've got a really solid base to start building upon!
On Monday I'll be starting work on version 0.2, which will introduce a lot mor...
