Farming Game

A chill farming game where the crops grow to the next stage every 10 seconds. Way too little time for the actual idea so the game doesn't have much to do but you can plow the fields, buy and plant seeds, and harvest the crops for sale. No tutorials, sounds, or music. Original idea was to make the game an automation farming game where the tractors move about on their own. This was the first time making a game in maybe 5 years. Legendary programmer art as well. :)

Controls

  • arrow keys / WASD: turn tractor

  • space: arm/unarm the trailer currently pulled by the tractor

  • 1: Slow down time

  • 2: Speed up time

  • mouse click the shop to change seeds you want to buy

How to Play:

  • Drive the tractor to the trailer park to pick up/drop the trailer

  • Press space to arm/disarm the plower/trailer

  • Use the plower to plow some fields

  • Drive the seed trailer to the seed store (left) to buy seeds

  • Harvest plants with the harvester when they change color to bright green, darker green gives less yield and rotted crops give only weeds.

  • Drive the harvester to the store (right) to sell your harvested crops

  • Non-planted fields will grow weeds after a while, either harvest them with the harvester or plow them up with the plower.

It seems like it's missing a link? How to play this? :)

Apparently something went wrong when adding the link, it should work now

Ah, don't forget to press space on the plough as well... threw me for a loop for a while :sweat_smile:

At the moment, there's not much to it, though I don't think the art is that bad,and it's a complete little experience. However, the little bars in front of the tools are barely visible, so it can be a bit confusing that you can't drive in there directly, but have to go through, just as with the sheds.

You seem to have barely any time to harvest. Might have been better if the tractor would move a little faster?

That said, I like how the interface is diagetic, you can do everything with just driving around with the tractor (and space).

Haha, the original speed of the tractor was actually half of what it is now. :D That also comes from the original idea, where multiple tractors would be used. Maybe should have tuned it up a little more. Thanks for the review!

Was a little hard to grok at first, but eventually figured it out. I was eventually able to sell 88 dollars worth of potatoes! (I think thats what they were???) Ploughed fields didnt stay ploughed for long, though :-/. But good game!

It's really difficult to understand without a tutorial, and even don't know how to cultivate land, but it's still interesting, compact and different experience after understanding~

Making a farming simulator in such a short time is ambitious, but you did well!

Really tight little experience, I think some tunes would pull this together! Well done!
