I wanted to build an interactive storytelling journaling game with the knowledge I gained from the first game I developed Baseball SIM
, adapting mainly the feature to update GIF through setting column fields.
I wanted to simulate a growing village as the player build and develop the village through the seasons.
Spring
Autumn
Some considerations
From the previous game, Baseball matches was controlled only by me, to click on the button to run the calculation, which takes up my time and commit a lot of edits for just a game.
Therefore, with that in mind, I wanted to reduce the number of edits and give that control over to the players to interact.
This also aligned with the player interaction and allow playing at their own pace to move their story forward.
Main mechanics
Player interacts with a set of buttons to trigger the conditions to run the game.
Economies
The interactions are governed by the game economy of managing the resources like Wood to build shelter, plow fields to harvest crops. And when player actions of 7 days finishes. The Rest button will show to advance to the next week.
Feel free to try out the game and comment below if you have any questions about the mechanics or how certain functions are designed using glide features!
