Very interesting concept.

dodger 2020-04-20 01:02

He was a good dog. She was a good plant. Can I make it any more obvious?

Hmmmm very interesting would love to see this expanded as an small-scale applet or a mobile app where you pick-up responsibilies from "friends" to incorporate into your routine.

paroxysmal 2020-04-20 01:16

Hmm...not sure if there is more than just watering the plant and if I need to come back tomorrow. Intruging and interesting.

viniflores 2020-04-20 01:22

Hahahah I was expecting more actions, but it is kinda interesting what we can do with keeping up with some schedule to keep our game progressing

mayhemgaming 2020-04-20 02:18

Really cool idea to make it real time

adonisdevs 2020-04-20 02:29

Well this is definitely a thing. I'll be back tomorrow :)

pulkit-garg 2020-04-20 02:38

this is an interesting concept of making ingame actions based on real world time

binroot 2020-04-20 02:56

Reminds me on Animal Crossing :smile:, because you have to wait a day, so no instant gratification. Also, your art was a pleasure.

rafit345 2020-04-20 03:38

It seems like you are new to Game Dev (Dont worry, I am too!)... Interesting concept, but not a whole bunch to do... No audio and simple art. Try using pixel art programs for art, there are some cool free ones like piskel, and for audio you can use programs like sfxr and bosca ceoil for simple sound effects and music... Or it could be just me misenterpreting your masterpiece lol

sergio-gonzalez 2020-04-20 04:04

Ok, you got me. I'll check back tomorrow :)

alex-mulkerrin 2020-04-20 11:37

Cute game with cute pets :dog: :cactus:

oxlox 2020-04-20 11:53

@rafit345 Yep, this was the first game that I've made and I didn't want to bite off more than I could chew. I'll take a look at those programs for sure, thanks for the recommendations! The audio did slip my mind though haha!

pinballjunior 2020-04-20 15:31

Very unique; not something I have seen before. Well, I guess I'll be back tomorrow.

hakro 2020-04-20 16:47

Nice concept. I'm hooked, and will be back tomorrow :) GG

I was confused at first what was supposed to happen after you took care of the plant/pet, but later realized it was supposed to be a time-based game!

Are there any easter eggs to be found if you play long enough?

oxlox 2020-04-20 18:21

@sen-kappa Not so much as an easter egg, but their is a resolution once your friend comes back from their trip. No extra assets, just a thank you message if you keep their pets alive :) and vice versa if you don't :(

2020-04-20 20:15

Cute concept! I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/6SpOkik3XNg

kiddy 2020-04-20 23:26

I really want to see the rest but I will be a good friend and wait.

gaz-ireland 2020-04-20 23:53

Huh... interedting concept. I was legitimately confused for a few minutes until I realised what time it was. Smart

stolen-biscuit 2020-04-21 01:49

Interesting concept haha I just came back for day 2. Lovely little idea

petitpois 2020-04-21 03:18

Cool concept, nice entry

vini-explorer 2020-04-23 16:46

Quite a cool idea!

velvetlobster 2020-04-24 23:52

Cute character and cool idea for the theme! It feels like Mother, but a bit creepier, which I find very interesting.

monish-vyas 2020-04-26 16:39

I guess I have to come back tomorrow. Nice idea though
