[@GamerAlexLegends]

Hello bro i am veey excited for this game this game trailer impressed me and i cant wait to play this.is 5his game almost finished develoving? Please reply

[@theladynim2]

Being able to blow the dandelion seeds is so cute! I love lil details like that in games.

[@ThePixelExpedition]

From eating to sleeping and even blowing dandelion fluff, the player animations are so cute. Great dev log as always!

[@Konitama]

Thank you!

[@ActuallyAric]

You should make it so when you blow on the dandelions it will plant more around where the seeds go.

[@Konitama]

Nice idea, I think I might just implement that :)

[@AndrewDavidJ]

The game is looking really great so far! Loving all the small UX improvements and fun little interactions you're adding. Keep it up! :)

[@Konitama]

Thank you!

[@NevoskiStudios]

Your updates are always inspiring, and keep me motivated for my own project!

[@Konitama]

Glad to hear that :)

[@daemontale]

Glad there are still devlogs coming out, so excited for this game 🙌

[@FollowNdFeel]

Love this game so far! Getting through these devlogs:D so this may be suggested… mini game for rolling up your sleeping bag? Hit perfects on a timing mark and it loses “x” durability, goods get “x” durability loss, and finally poor has the greatest durability loss at “x.”

[@alvin_row]

Cute devlog! I think having to press space to then be able to move up and down on ladders feels a bit over engineered. I would either make it so pressing space makes the player go up/down automatically, or just pressing up/down near the ladder gets the player into the climbing phase automatically.

[@ThePixelExpedition]

Yeah, I never cared much for having to press anything to climb a ladder. I always prefer just being able to press up against the ladder to begin climbing.

[@DJSlimeball]

Vouch.

[@Konitama]

Yeah you're right... That's something I can look into. It was just simpler to implement this way due to how I've set up interactable objects. Though adding this feature wouldn't be too challenging I don't think. Thanks for the feedback.

[@joel9999]

Looking very good. Been watching for a few months now :)

[@Konitama]

Thanks glad to have your support

[@Zoggi]

This is great I’ve watched these devlogs since the first one and the game has come so far

[@andrewpullins8817]

I have always wondered why games make sleeping or INNs an option in their worlds as most RPG's don't buff you for doing these things. These are great ideas for what you can do in games.

[@Konitama]

Yeah trying to do things a bit different :)

[@andrewpullins8817]

@@Konitama I am definitely going to put that in my RPGs. It has always bothered me that they don't do that. Why should I spend my GP for no benefit? It seems like they only put it in there to make the game slightly more realistic.

[@eboatwright_]

Woo he back! The game looks great, and alot of fun!

[@DJSlimeball]

There doesn't look to be very complex animations, so I'd just make a single sprite where the character's bending down, then use that for reaching the top of the ladder.

[@NoelTugy]

I'm looking forward for this game!! It looks really polished and visually appealing! It also seems very fun hehe! Continue the good work!

[@voidwyrm6149]

4:15 maybe it could also temporarily increase the dandelion spawn rate edit: someone else already made a similar suggestion

[@Skeffles]

Great progress! I like the growing mushrooms. Is the final growth stage obvious?

[@thomwern]

So when you blow the dandelions, will they re-grow in that area with a higher likelihood?

[@flamingfossa]

Surely you could rename growable things to plants?

[@Konitama]

The "growable" name isn't really something players will see, it's just behind the scenes naming for a type of object. Also things like mushrooms fall under the growable object type, but mushrooms are fungi, not plants :)

[@person7348]

Will there be a say instant health potion

[@Konitama]

Haven't decided on that yet but if I were to add something like a health potion it would probably be quite rare. Will see how the game feels once development is much farther along. Can always add potions if it feels gaining back health is too frustrating or difficult.
