LD52 — Harvest

The Dealer by Porcus_Pie 2023-01-13T10:07:22Z

I really liked that you found time to add a tutorial! Fun take on the theme. Game balance seems good, but there is a lot of waiting so more elements could be added so the player har something to do while waiting for crops to grow. There could be some more variety in the customer faces and the sound is kind of simplistic. Also, clicking on the tubes to check contents often did nothing - the tube remained unselected - maybe a bug? I can really see this being developed further for a very interresting game.

Raise the Dead for Fun and Profit by ben_burnes 2023-01-09T19:55:42Z

Engaging but maybe a little bit too easy. Are you supposed to be able to create long chains of 10+ tiles? I won the game after just a couple of minutes.

Harveyster by Almax 2023-01-14T22:25:24Z

My favorite game so far. Great sound, music, graphics and mood. Very good game loop switching between combat, harvesting and upgrading. Everything looks very professional and could easily be made into a full game. Amazing job all over, you should be proud.

Harvest Hewn by bwalter 2023-01-09T08:09:24Z

Nice animations! I would love to be able to move with the keyboard. Also there are some graphical problems with widescreen but no biggie!

If you open a terminal and run the bat file from there, do you get this: ERROR: JAVA_HOME is not set and no 'java' command could be found in your PATH

If so you need to install JAVA, sorry. :-( I kind of thought that was still standard on Windows.

EDIT: I have uploaded an .exe version!

HELLGATE HARVEST by kodingnights 2023-01-08T22:00:45Z

Thank you for your feedback @ben-burnes and @mortith!

I have uploaded a new build where you should just be able to run the HellgateHarvest.exe - can you please download that version and try again? (The WINDOWS EXE URL)

HELLGATE HARVEST by kodingnights 2023-01-08T22:02:05Z

@feor Thank you so much for your feedback!

HELLGATE HARVEST by kodingnights 2023-01-08T22:29:01Z

@mortith Thank you for taking the time to try again, glad it worked out in the end!

HELLGATE HARVEST by kodingnights 2023-01-08T22:47:50Z

@forevertrash Yeah I realised, I have created an .exe version though!

HELLGATE HARVEST by kodingnights 2023-01-10T07:59:17Z

@tolmera Thanks - but I liked yours! @vigneshwa, @iluvatar - Thanks a lot! @zonoxx, @jeff-chiu - Good point about the finish line, I should fix that. If people like the game, I can also create a lot more levels with the help of MuGen! https://kodingnights.itch.io/mugen @owca - Congratulations on finishing! A calibration option is a good idea! @mikyokyuji - did you make it to the end? @geraldfingburke - I agree the first track is too long, I should cut it in half. It is the tutorial song. @timon - Yeah that was actually bug in the version that should now have been fixed along with some other stuff (see description) @togo-sepultraut - Do you mean the demo video? That was taken after 24 hours, I spend the last day of the Jam on polish and have not gotten around to creaete a new video @twilightrh - Thanks a lot! Practice! (Actually you can just hammer the keyboard to get to the end, just not with a great score).

HELLGATE HARVEST by kodingnights 2023-01-10T13:09:48Z

@moonlightbomber I will take that as a compliment!

HELLGATE HARVEST by kodingnights 2023-01-10T23:13:53Z

@adamwigs Some keyboards don't register more than a couple of keys at once unfortunately... I will investigate that music problem!

HELLGATE HARVEST by kodingnights 2023-01-10T23:20:13Z

@digitaldude555 which system/browser?

HELLGATE HARVEST by kodingnights 2023-01-11T04:48:20Z

@digitaldude555 Can you try Chrome browser?

@ex3d0 Thanks for trying! What made it so hard?

HELLGATE HARVEST by kodingnights 2023-01-11T04:50:29Z

@adamwigs May I ask about which browser you tried?

HELLGATE HARVEST by kodingnights 2023-01-11T08:56:04Z

@adamwigs Aha, it seems like the music format I'm using (.ogg) is not well supported. Maybe I can convert it to .mp3 for better results.

HELLGATE HARVEST by kodingnights 2023-01-11T19:28:53Z

@arthur-mairs Thanks! I unfortunately ran out of time so the music is a little simplistic. If the game is well received I might make a lot more, and better, music!

HELLGATE HARVEST by kodingnights 2023-01-12T09:54:41Z

@adamwigs if you try the polished version it should (hopefully) work.

HELLGATE HARVEST by kodingnights 2023-01-12T13:23:24Z

@mrchickenboy Can you try the polished version?

HELLGATE HARVEST by kodingnights 2023-01-13T09:53:06Z

@porcus-pie Thank you for your quality feedback! The souls actually do move linearly but the scaling of the sprites makes it seem like they slow down. Beat lines is a good idea! You can skip songs with the 'N' key.

HELLGATE HARVEST by kodingnights 2023-01-13T22:12:29Z

@tttt thank you for your feedback. I will have to look into that timing issue. Kind of important for a rhythm game!

HELLGATE HARVEST by kodingnights 2023-01-14T22:19:21Z

@tttt If you would try the polished version now the timing issues should hopefully be fixed!

HELLGATE HARVEST by kodingnights 2023-01-18T07:58:31Z

@pyspher9 thank you for playing and for your valuable feedback. I will keep improving this game after the jam.

HELLGATE HARVEST by kodingnights 2023-01-21T12:08:46Z

Thank you anonymous reviewer! Much appreciated. That's why I enter game jams, to be enlightened. All very good points, some of which have been addressed in the post-jam version. I will keep working at the game!

@sephowepho thank you also for your comments, it seems I really have to make some sliders to accommodate different players.

HELLGATE HARVEST by kodingnights 2023-01-26T07:20:33Z

@patrickrmc Thank you, you can actually choose a different control scheme in the settings for the Post-Jam version, several options are available.

@dimesto52 You are right - you will miss your hit streak but yes you can pass the level that way. I wanted to fix that but just didn't have time at the end. WHat kind of sound bug did you have? Has it been resolved in the polished version?

Homunculus by Iluvatar 2023-01-08T21:12:23Z

Great graphics, great mood

Lullaby farms by TolMera 2023-01-09T19:59:25Z

+1 :smile:

Harvest Time by EX3D0 2023-01-08T23:33:15Z

I would advise to add a screenshot as the graphics are great! Also some instructions would be in order I don't know WTH I'm doing...

The Ballad of Eric Hernandez, Cattle Rancher by GeraldFIngBurke 2023-01-09T20:08:37Z

10/10 would moo again

HarvesTurnip by Colisan 2023-01-08T22:40:36Z

Would love to try the game but clicking the zip file does nothing!

HarvesTurnip by Colisan 2023-01-08T23:27:21Z

@colisan Indeed it was, I got it to work. Cool game! I would love to be able to abort harvesting the turnips though. Next time use MuGen for the music. :wink:

The little reaper who could(n't)! by timon 2023-01-08T22:47:02Z

Fun little game, I like the parallax scrolling but I would like it to move a lot faster. Has potential.

Shaded Flowers by Maksim Chugunov 2023-01-08T22:44:08Z

Would love to try but unfortunately I don't have a Mac...

Shaded Flowers by Maksim Chugunov 2023-01-11T14:51:27Z

Not a game but I still liked it.

Crops Farmer by havchr 2023-01-08T22:21:33Z

Love the sound effect. Snake vibes.

Vegan Vince by Sipfindel 2023-01-10T08:53:38Z

So simple yet so satisfying! Love the way the enemies fall apart and that you can climp on the pile of corpses. Good job!

Combine Carnage by MinThaMie 2023-01-09T08:04:54Z

You need to supply a playable game not just the source code :sweat_smile:

DeadLyft by JoshH 2023-01-09T19:39:11Z

I managed to get 25 points on hard. That is some seriously good writing. Good job!

Untitled Squirrel Game by TureGrappa 2023-01-08T23:10:55Z

Maybe the camera should be a lil' bit higher but maybe the game would be too easy then. The fixed angle is good for people not used to 3D games.

Afterlife Assistance Agency by FishMasterino 2023-01-10T14:01:51Z

7 souls harvested and only 1 unfortunate mishap :clap:

Good graphics, I like the variety in characters. Music reminds me of old Sierra games.

bLife by samyam 2023-01-08T23:05:37Z

I actually loved this game, I can see this becoming a thing if you continue work on it. The use of colors and music is very nice, and I really enjoyed trying to find the next flower. Unfortunately the frame rate was quite low on my low end PC.

BROCOMAN by arturogcdev 2023-01-08T22:53:18Z

WTF did I just play :laughing:

Carvest by feor 2023-01-08T22:07:34Z

How did you manage to make all that in 48 hours. Amazing.

Moon Harvester by owca 2023-01-09T20:12:34Z

Good game but it did not like my widescreen.

moonharvest.png

Erntehelfer by th1z 2023-01-08T22:18:58Z

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

CROP NINJA by Bo Dangles 2023-01-12T10:03:05Z

Hard but fun. Could do with some sound and music. I like the graphics, but the controls take some time to get used to. EDIT: Never mind, I found out that the game actually had sound/music, it was turned off at my work computer :laughing:

Harvest Skin by mikyokyuji 2023-01-08T21:00:00Z

Is it only me or does that NOT look like a finger in the PC version! :-D

Organ Trail by maymay 2023-01-08T21:45:47Z

That was one huge mitochondria :smile:

Celestial Wheatfields - (Roguelike Farming Game) by ludovic-moge 2023-01-10T16:06:46Z

Do I download Celestial_Wheatfield.zip or build_patched.rar?

Metit by Tinybuttybutt 2023-01-09T20:31:40Z

I can't get past the spikes. What am I doing wrong?

Bow Knight Drifter by Kostas Nik 2023-01-09T19:24:38Z

Amazing art! Good gameplay! Solid game.

Harvest of Love by Mariavalcam 2023-01-08T22:22:17Z

This game is clipping badly on my computer for some reason. (Web version on Chrome/Windows) EDIT: Fixed it by running it full screen.

TanksGiving by Zonoxx 2023-01-09T20:00:45Z

TanksGriefing! :laughing: The game would benefit from some more animation, and some player reaction when hit by enemies.

Kilzpacho by FullHeartGames 2023-01-09T19:17:34Z

Loved the music. Would like health bars on the enemies. Do the upgrades work? They seem to reset to zero after each wave.

Catchy by danmerey 2023-01-10T08:46:15Z

Looks very, very good. Relaxing game. It is so frustrating to go up against the wind! :laughing:

RED HARVEST by magno chuntey 2023-01-09T08:17:41Z

Nice mood. I thought the 'crouch' did not work at first, maybe rename to 'sneak'.

Boar'd'Hell by Blublu 2023-01-08T22:04:43Z

Very cool game, it took a while until I understood I could move the harvester as well. Great graphics, sound and humoristic timing.

Energy Harvest by SlantyOJ 2023-01-08T22:57:31Z

Fun and challenging but I would love to be able to control the camera.

BUGGED by MangoWorks 2023-01-10T16:03:54Z

Not bad at all, it's nice with a voiceover for the tutorial. The waves of enemies are too intense for my slow reaction speed.

Hell Harvester by buickmle 2023-01-09T10:28:06Z

A decent TD game!

Nesting by HypernoodleJon 2023-01-11T05:03:41Z

Fun little game. I thought it was super easy until I collected too many twigs and feel into some spikes with no way of flying up as I was overencumbered. Graphics are cute, sound minimalist.

Dark Harvest by JakeJet 2023-01-09T19:45:57Z

I'm a sucker for top-down games and this one had great sound and mood! I tried to whack the zombie with my axe but apparently that did not work. :cry:

Bewitched Boomerang by Ragenord 2023-01-10T13:33:19Z

Very good game, love the graphics - however the boomerang seems to return without having to click a second time

Farmtown Mowdown by Stevie257 2023-01-13T15:57:54Z

I really liked the screen effect when getting hit. Music and voice is also cool. And I like the enemy design. It was somewhat hard to figure out how to start the first wave. On the whole, not super original, but a fun little game.
