What If Growing A Tree Was A STRATEGY GAME? - Grow The Seed

Grow The Seed First Look - this game surprised me. I thought I was done with card games, but this was a really nice take on the genre. Great for a demo too, can't wait to see what the full game offers!

i swear developers be really making rogue-like games of literally anything

[@robertcampbell3302]

I’m gonna make a rouge-like game out of your comment

[@arnerademacker]

@@robertcampbell3302 Game Dev Tycoon but roguelike? I'd play it

[@michasokoowski6651]

Hmm... that got me an idea... watching the grass grow deckbuilder roguelite...

[@Someone-wx9lq]

@@michasokoowski6651 I mean there's Crop Rotation

[@IAmUnderscore]

Soo there’s gonna be a roguelike where you design a roguelike, and the goal is to make your playerbase bigger and keep their enjoyment high. The final boss is getting game critics to enjoy it

[@rotemzoe]

Wow this new doki doki episode was so good I loved how you read each sentence with so much emotion and how you cosplay each girl EVERY SINGLE time they talk The first 2 seconds were a jumpscare

[@dinoeebastian]

I think a cool way to make the root growth a little more realistic would be to make it a fog of war style where it's dark and the further you extend the roots, the more resources you see, that way you aren't reaching a single root arm out for miles to find one good resource

[@incongruouschameleon8200]

The fear in my heart when I saw Doki Doki literature club

[@shaneobrien4232]

Mental flashbang in the beginning

[@casketrace6087]

CHALLENGE MODE: Build your tree strait up and roots strait down.

[@Living_druid0911]

I’ve played this before and it’s pretty fun.

[@K_Hammond]

That's a neat little game.

[@fromandtounknown6575]

Now i wanna see him play DDLC. Although with how old it is, the story is pretty much known already and Tyler doesnt look like hes scared thar easily anyways

[@v3xx3r]

I dont like deck builders but i might actually grab this. It reminds me of that one oil drilling game a bit which was super fun.

[@CYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE]

It’s a good day went your favourite gamer KZbinr than recommended most of the steam games I play even if I’m picky with my games posts❤

[@commentturtle9892]

Guess you could say there is a lot of stratatree.

[@SadToffee]

This game reminds me of that oil game from a bit back

[@noogiesm]

oh this game is SO cute 😭 i love this kind of chill and kind aesthetic. reminds me of terra nil

[@alicecrawford1033]

Huh, very neat game with an unexpected premise

[@murilot.c3823]

Am I the only that remembers a flash game that was basically like this?

[@thuytrang3943]

hey Tyler the fruit you must harvest in 2 day and if you harvest 3 time you will get the achievement this is a tip for this game

[@Eepaust]

Also known as Slay the Soil

[@abrammayhem7388]

4:38 as a midwesterner this is totaly true

[@PuddleOfCats]

Honestly, I've tried decently and ngl it feels like becoming the bush is, just, way too reccomended, a tree can work but bush on top And water based rng. Oh, and the game automatically scrolling to mobs isn't fun it feels like control is yanked away from me when I wanna focus on worms or visa versa

[@jessicashi2989]

"growing a tree"

[@ShireishiProduction]

Wow, that's fantastic! Thanks, Aliensrock, for playing Grow the Seed. We really love your editing. That baby tree was hilarious, adding that lil' pacifier is a nice touch. We're also joyful to watch you rocking our strategy game and growing that baby tree and scoring fruit currency!

[@sunnylee5446]

Yep .. Baby tree concept editing zooming are truly something .. 😂😂😂

[@CintFushion]

I think this is a unique game. I was so excited when I tried the demo and ended up adding it to my Steam wishlist. I can't wait for the full release.🔥🔥

[@BuddyMocha]

I tried out the game and (at least through the demo) thought it was a bit too easy. I still thought it was fun though, hopefully the new levels add more challenge in the full game! Also there seems to be a bug with the spray can, if you mash it it's easy to double-fire and shred pests

[@HardxCorpsxKali]

If this is the real production team. Would you ever consider removing the click attack during battles? It’s completely pointless and only takes away from the experience. I only say that because you normally just select that you want to attack in roguelikes not actually having to aim the attack.. I get that it would be unfortunate to have no defense on the surface and then the birds could kill you on the first week but there are simple ways around that by making bugs able to travel above and below ground to anywhere within their radius. I think it’d be an easy fix and would make this game 100x better if you could simply observe while the battle is happening so that you can see where your weaknesses are and the areas you need to adjust for the next weeks battles. I mean I’m just one guy but I feel like the idea has merit.

[@nathanreeder9716]

Finally a game I've actually played before! I'd recommend taking the extra pest routes, as they give you more level ups/cards. You just need to make a better defense. Also, only have scarabs underground and use caterpillars for stem defense. The wasps are only really worth it for the final boss.

[@Melody_lexxie]

Game name?

[@GarrettHoward22]

Day 1129 of telling Tyler that he never finished his minecraft series and that he should finish it. That intro there had me slightly concerned at first lol

[@ryanasaurasisgood]

I never thought that planting would be such a challenging game.

[@Kevin-di4qk]

I saw one guy on youtube playing it and instantly knew Tyler will play it too

[@Roader_021]

Same lol

[@jasmineocean]

Same :D

[@bjrn-oskarrnning2740]

ONE second into the video and the editor already made me laugh 😂 Careful with the quality there, you might be setting an impossible standard for the future!

[@chickenmaster3879]

As someone interested in botony, growing plants really is sometimes like an -excruciating- interesting strategy game

[@nisqhog2881]

Pretty unique game, looks like a nice change of pace! Maybe you can try out Crop Rotation too, now that it's in full release :)

[@LatheRathe]

very interesting... I can't wait for the full version.

[@pideperdonus2]

Oh no, the tree will grow a 4 Mana 7, 7.

[@SamLabbato]

really captures that hidden gem flash game energy

[@Fluxaterion]

Thank you Tyler for being the most strategic tree to ever exist

[@smishmouf4355]

First impressions from the intro was that it's like that Oil Tycoon game

[@omegahaxors9-11]

This reminds me of that time I had a graywater pipe coming out of my house. The local tree *really* loved that pipe, the entire thing was just completely covered in roots. Had to redesign it though because those roots were plugging it up, so now we're both happy.

[@Ka_muu]

i was thinking it was awkward that I only had one root coming directly from my tree which doesn't look right but later on I realized that long winding roots are bad. Creating a realistically bunched-up tree is actually better for defence! By the end after I suddenly unlocked achievements and got miracles I found I was horrendously short of essence. I didn't see the goals until I completed them so I didn't realize how important they were the whole time. I also never had food problems, I wonder if that needs balancing. Overall, seems like a casual and relaxing game despite being a rogue-like that focuses on balance rather than crazy decks. Maybe that's okay. I noticed they changed "draw card" to 1 cost -> draw 2 cards. Makes more sense, wish I'd gotten that before the end of the demo.

[@SleepyLizard]

As an avocado farmer I was really happy to see you prioritizing the roots. people don't realize half the tree is underground. great vid.

[@SithCode]

The tree must grow.

[@gdxnsk]

ddlc gameplay when?

[@HardxCorpsxKali]

10/10 for this game. The only thing I’m dreading about this game is the stupid click to attack…. Like I’d rather just play well and then just let the bugs defend. It’s boring and pointless to add an attack feature with the mouse. 0/10 for that part. But the rest of the game is still so cool I’d play the hell out of it if it were only available.

[@HardxCorpsxKali]

Dude it really sucks that devs don’t make this available on mobile…… like I would literally buy this game if they would just put it on mobile…… why limit your recourse gain?

[@plumper303]

I would pay a ludicrous amount of money to see an Aliensrock Doki Doki Literature Club playthrough.

[@jertlemiah]

Growing the tree seems cool, but the combat looks so bad, lol. I wonder if there's another way they could handle that

[@RyoGuy17]

Makes me want to rewatch your Turmoil series for some reason

[@chickensniffer451]

Gotta love how there's just small patches of water just scattered through the earth. Ya know instead of an actual water table.

[@idkwhattoputhere0770]

Seems Tyler has a favorite root.

tree build idea: keep it small, but grab as many draw/flower cards as possible.

I’ve definitely seen a flash game like this before

@@Wolfie2TMXi could kinda see slay the spire too. different cards you play plus a path you get to pick

[@JamesLaChance1]

I feel like I remember there being a game a while ago that had similar root/stem placement mechanics although it definitely wasn't a roguelike and I think it was just like a chill/casual game.

[@BlackJoe222]

There's a board game with similar branch-growing methods. I can't remember the name of it though.

[@waluigi5848]

Normally don't like strategy games, but this was pretty fun!

[@Felsune.original]

I did not read the thing properly, and did not know how to make the flowers turn to fruit. So I just had a BUNCH of flowers all hosted with wasps and hatred. This would have made the game so much easier...instead I woke up and chose violence...

[@clf7663]

You should try a game called relicta(3d puzzle game like Talos principles), i'm curious what you think about it!

[@The21stGamer]

I don't know if you take game requests here or not, but I would like to recommend 911 Operator. It has some pretty strategic and micromanagement heavy elements and I think you might enjoy it.

[@the0neskater]

Wow the graphics of this game look really rough, the roots look terribly pieced together haha. I'm guessing this was a game from the recent global game jam where the theme was 'roots'. There was a lot of games like this (including my own), although I like the cards aspect and defences etc.

[@Marcosberto2]

"midwest weather" I love how the Statunician education system is closed around their own territory only. they just teach their working classe about others' natural resources in a imperialistic way...

[@arthurwolff]

I played a game JUST like this minus the card system wayyy back in the Flash days

I wish KZbin let you change font sizes so I could write hahahahaha with consecutively smaller letters.

The idea of Tyler playing through DDLC is hilarious to me, i kinda wanna see what the fuck would happen

Hey this reminds me of the cardboard city game you played, what happened to it?

[@Reviachi]

Anyone else getting a bug on the likes? I’m seeing 45k on every single one of Tyler’s videos rn, I was so shocked.

[@Murasame13]

I wonder if you can stem back down into the ground at a different point to allow for rooting further from the center?

[@winonajohnson3349]

19:36 I was looking away from my computer and just looked back in time to see the Ram ram the tree. The editing was so good I thought it was actually in the game fore a sec.

there is a similar concept to this called beecarbonise, card based game about saving the environment starting from 20th century industry into modern tech.

The last youtuber i saw play this hated the attackers (manly scarab) due to them only attackin 1 enemy at a time and the price (he lost to the boss in that vid) (also thats just what i remember)

[@silveral799]

I don’t know why they felt like they needed direct combat at all, and it looks like it completely ruins a great game

[@tylerabdill2429]

I think you're supposed to have access to a orange tree and a different level or at least when I tried they weren't listed as out of demo but I couldn't get either to unlock so I dunno

Ah the beauty of life. Eat, grow, and get others to beat up what you can't beat yourself.

Guys fun fact trees don’t actually get food from the ground most of their mass comes from what they capture in the air

is it just me or are a lot of the numbers nearly unreadable because white text on a light background

For some reason I thought the final boss was gonna be a human tryna harvest or uproot the tree hahahha. Guess that doesn't really make any sense

you should look at these doomed isles if you enjoyed this game its still being developed but is really fun

[@mikkopippo9762]

15:15 trees are usually imbalanced to the way where the sun is so they get more from it (usually it's just the leaves but sometimes the tree itself is)
