Hey, i tried downloading your game and the .exe doesnt seem to open, but i don't know if its a problem with my computer of your files, I'll ask my team to check it out tomorrow on their computers but I'm just letting you know that this happened. the general idea of the game is really nice and i'd like to play it so i hope i can do it soon and give you a proper rating. maybe a web version on itch.io would solve this?
Hey hey, I wasn't able to download your game! I think you need the rest of the build folder with your upload, but right now it's just the .exe (maybe?) Snake farmer sounds like a very charming game though, I would love to play it when it's uploaded!
Couldn't play! Maybe speak with the admins so you can upload all the folder
@chaos Hey thanks for the heads up and the suggestion, I think I did upload the win version wrong so hopefully it'll work now.
A simple farming game, but there isn't any kind of art in here.
I love farming games so this scratched a bit of an itch, that said it was kind of hard to know what you had done and what stage the plants were at. Eventually I got a stack trace bug when I went to buy a snake. Unfortunate since I wanted to see how the snake competition worked!
I ran into glitches as soon as I tried to harvest my first crop. A big error message appeared.
Thanks everyone for the feedback! New version has bug fixes and a better Windows upload.
I loved the little harvest game
After approaching the club, sometimes the club window remains visible, which makes it difficult to buy seeds in the store
Nice game, pretty fun, unfortunately is a bit lacking of feedbacks :\ like if a spot has an ungrown crop planted or not and the type of the crop
Nice idea, but kind of buggy.
It's fun but after 10 snakes I got tired and sold my snake. Wonder how you could make the fun last longer.
Great submission nevertheless :)
I've heard using plants to lure butterflies, but luring snakes like that was new to me.
It took a long time for any snakes to actually show up. By that time I had gotten a bit bored and was messing around, accidentally ran *through* the clubhouse and got stuck on the other side :upside_down:
@kessutinnu That's a uh... hidden easter egg? Yeah, we'll go with that
@sorecactus Hey man i got to play the game, on the online version, im really happy you could fix everything so it was playable. I'm not talking about the graphics here, since you got the basics of the gameplay in, and im assuming those are place holders. BTW the neon orange snake wiggling its tail made me smile.
heres my actual feedback: the interaction with the market and the snake club was a bit janky, when the character's hitbox colided with them and the menu showed up, sometimes i'd be pushed back and it made really hard to keep the menu up for interactions. You also put in the game description that the controls were just wasd and spacebar, but on the menus, you actually use the mouse to interact so maybe putting that on the game controls would be nice, since it could make the player a bit confused as how to buy props and enter the competiiton. I noticed that the fee to enter the competition was 100 but that didnt get deducted and the prize collecting resulted into nothing, which was a little disapointing. The different colors to show different types of snakes was really nice. I don't know if you had just a set of 5 snakes names or if that happened to me when i started to get snakes with the same name by coincidence. The text on the top showing the ammount of seeds you have has a little flaw, cause everytime i planted all my seeds it would say id have still one more in my inventory, it would just show the real 0 if i changed crops and went back. The text on the bottom showing actions not disappearing was a little annoying, maybe showing it for some seconds would be better, just keeping the warning for snakes on the crops visible until they were colected would be a better approach to that. The growing clycles and pricing of the props were really well balanced, that is a feature i'd advise you to keep and maybe if you want add more in the future. A thing i dint get at first was the "training" of the snake too, but i think you meant it's temper, cause at this time we have no ways of training the snakes for competition.
I loved it, I see a lot of potential, I think it would make a nice mobile game also, since its casual, I can see myself playing it again once everything gets more polished (if you intend on doing that). I'm sorry if this got too extensive, I'm not bashing the game by any means. You did an awesome job
P.S.: I also got stuck outside the gaming area @kessutinnu
@chaos Wow thank you so much for all the feedback, I really appreciate you taking the time to do that. I will definitely be working on smoothing it out over the next few weeks so this'll be helpful and i'll keep it in mind going forward. My friend was working on some really nice art but unfortunately he didn't have very much time this weekend so it'll be fun once we can finally get all the art in there. Thanks again!
@sorecactus no problem man I really liked the game, the concept and the idea. Once you have everything in place of if you need a beta player feel free to hmu. I'll keep up looking up for the update
The game is awesome, I loved it concept, I think you could expand it more and make a neat full game!
The only two plants that attracted the snakes were the alfalfa and the desert but the game mentions there are more maybe? I don't know if that's a bug... nevertheless, it was a fun experience, congratulations!
I did exactly the same as @kessutinnu hahaha
Aw, collecting snakes is so charming. I thought the various descriptions of their traits and their names was really cute too. :snake:
