Damn just saw that you submitted as a Jam game... My bad :see_no_evil: ~~Did you use AI Art for the upgrade images?~~

Fun little game, the portraits are out of this world.

th1z 2023-01-08 22:22

@vinzbad Images were generated with stable diffusion :)

ivorius 2023-01-08 22:24

I'm not on windows. Wish I could try it! Also, some of the images are vaguely sus. lol

Neat Game

@ivorius I uploaded a linux version. Unfortunately can not provide a mac version.

> "Are those images vaguely sexual on purpose?"

Maybe ;)

Really good job with controls here. Harvesting is super satisfying for some reason, it really scratches my itch. Gameplay is fun and kept me engaged. Loved the use of questionable images, really made me laugh. Great job here, one of my favorite games so far!

I really enjoyed this game. I made it to level 19.

After a while it kept giving me two options for point efficiency, despite the fact that I hadn't taken any of the upgrades to make me turn better. I don't know if that's a bug, but eventually I lost because it stopped giving me options for upgrading my corn production.

th1z 2023-01-09 20:47

@justin-c its more like a feature :) There is a limited amount of each upgrade and also a hidden upgrade tree. Some upgrades are only unlocked if you take others. Glad you enjoyed it :)

That was a lot of fun! Well done.

It's actually pretty fun to play! Backward-moving tractor is OP! The AI generated result is awesome as well, what AI model did you use? Elldreth's Lucid Mix or Protogen? or just vanilla SD 1.5?

Easy to grok, light-hearted fun. What's not to love? Goob job!

Very fun game, with the upgrade system it's deep and complex too that's impressive!

And the stable diffusion pictures were very funny I liked it :D

th1z 2023-01-10 22:46

@dgspitzer Protogen 3.4 was used.

Considering the [ldjam rules](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/rules) I think you really should **opt out of the graphics** category. AI generated art definitely falls under 3rd party assets in my opinion. You should **also opt out of audio**, considering that you haven't made all (if any) of the sfx and bgm yourself (per your readme)

Now to the game itself... It's actually quite fun! The gameplay loop of harvest > upgrade > harvest works really well here Graphics are cool and using AI for this is a very clever idea but boy oh boy are those illustrations needlessly suggestive...

th1z 2023-01-12 20:16

These are the rules in question: >> **You’re free to use any tools or libraries** to create your game. You’re free to start with any base-code you may have. >> **You’re free to use 3rd party Artwork/Music/Audio assets**, or assets you previously created, but we ask that you OPT-OUT of the respected voting categories (Graphics, Audio)

I have decided to opt out of the **audio** category and will update the settings.

I had so much fun playing, one of the most addictive submissions I played so far, thank you!

chairshot-games 2023-01-13 05:16

I see you had a very similar idea to us lol. I liked the upgrades and regenerating level, but found the turn radius a little too big. I agree about opting out of graphics and audio as others have said.

Had lots of fun playing it. The upgrade system is very well thought out. Using AI for the pictures was smart...unfortunately sexy male farmers are highly underrepresented here. Still a very nice game, good job!
