Garden Diary - MageGangsta

A quiet garden game where nothing can fail and nothing is timed.
Demo:

[Garden Diary - MageGangsta @MMageGangsta]

@NumWorlds Yeah i was thinking about interactible powder snow, so you can sweep it from the island with the cursor)

[Garden Diary - MageGangsta @MMageGangsta]

You picked snow)
Here's a closer look and little sneak peek for future levels👀
I'll definetely work on that visuals more in future, as its WIP for now just to capture the intent.

Do want to experiment with "real" snow)

I gave the gardener a salary 😆

One upgrade adds 80 dew to the jar every minute while you play.
Seeds and threads don't pay for themselves💸💸💸
Gotta make an effect for it tho

Moved a tree so you can see the flowers behind it.

The camera never turns, which made hiding flowers behind a trunk a fairly bad idea.

Before / after. Coming in the next demo update.

Which garden should Friday's clip show?

[Garden Diary - MageGangsta @MMageGangsta]

Rain or snow for Friday's clip?

A: a garden in the rain.
B: a little warmth in the snow.

B is from the full game I'm building. Pick A or B and I'll film the winner.

How: the bot gets only what a player gets. It asks the same rules the game uses to refuse a move, scores every thread and seed it could place, and takes the best one. The sim runs without the renderer, so a ten-minute island takes seconds.

[Garden Diary - MageGangsta @MMageGangsta]

You use TDD, right?
Playing your game over and over just to test some fix - takes its tall, especially when you have a full-time job too.
A bot plays every island, four different ways, and fails if something is wrong.

The full game's hottest island: too much light wilts a bloom here, so you water it or share the light out.
Except on the little isle beside it. It has a cloud of its own, and nothing under it wilts.

SOME of the grey trees turn into more than an oak now.

Tend this one and a greenhouse (WIP) stands where it was, with glass over every place beside it. Light poured into one is shared by all of them.

That's for the full game.

This week the islands got a time of day.

Each one opens at its own hour, and every memory you find moves the sky on a little. By the time this one wakes, it's golden hour.

That's for the full game. The demo keeps its nights.

Free demo, is still there in the browser 🤩-> https://t.co/wSDERnSrol

Technically this is a level select.
The demo of it)

But every memory you found on an island hangs over it as a star, and you can rest the mouse on one to read it again. So it's also a diary.
