I don't know how much people paid attention or remember that this game will have monster girls and the breeding of them. It certainly isn't a game that will be 100% focused on combat, (even though a lewd dungeon crawler isn't a bad idea at all). It was just that 1) there is a lot of concepts that can be transferred over from HR and 2) combat is a nice way to "stress test" various game systems to expose bugs and issues.
Anyways, the first stage is farming/planting. Farming gives you the option to plant and grow crops for 1) sale, 2) food for mongirls, (gotta keep them happy and fed so they have more energy for... other activities, and 3) potential ingredients for crafting.
Farming is a simple procedure. You find an eligible tile (such as dirt) and you plant seeds. At the end of each cycle, as long as the tile is watered, the plant will grow. When the plant is fully grown, you can then harvest it. The tile is then freed for the next cycle of plants.
For now, there are 3 different actions that the player can take:
a) using a hoe, the player can convert an eligible tile (such as grass) into soil/dirt.
b) using seeds, the player can plant a crop at an eligible tile (such as dirt)
c) using the watering can, the player can water a tile
Here is a simple demonstration of the hoe in action:
Harvest Moon and Monster Rancher giving good elements to a hentai game ... what a time to be alive!
ReplyDeleteCautious with the amount of features you put in the game, it can take a while to balance and code so many elements later on. It is sure nice to have a suculent deep game but delivering it can drink away the soul of a lone developer.
Party size and ambience get a even more important aspect now. Hope you have something good to us in mind.
(Not wanting to hurry the good things before the bases are done but ... when will the lewd content appear?)
