Midnight Harvest by SirMcsquizy

[raw]
made by SirMcsquizy for Ludum Dare 52 (JAM)

I know you think you are a farmer, but sometimes it's good to remember the rules

• Don't shoot at the crops

• Don't blame the crop for not growing fast enough

• Don't uproot crops before they've had a chance to grow

• Choose the best plants for the soil

• Remove weeds!

• Remember you will have good seasons and bad seasons - you can't control what comes out of those portals

*Controls:: * (gamepad support only during the Fight Mode - to be fixed)

• WASD / L-stick, D-pad - Move Character

• LPM / RT - To Shoot

• Q / RB - Inject plants into gun

• E / LB - Harvest Seeds

• Tab / B - Swap ammo in Seedgun

• R / X - Reload

• Mousewheel / Y: Swap between Peashooter and Seedgun

Really interesting take on the theme, nice to combine traditional "harvesting" with FPS Combat :)

Wow! this is great, love the character models and animations for them. I really like the fact that the animations feel like they're stop motion.
The guns are cool but the animations for the reloading could be more clear.

Things are run pretty smoothly for me, the combat is simple but very functionable, though FOV slider is must for me.
I was pretty confused about the planting mechanic but things start making more sense after the first game.
Lots of great ideas here with the mix of harvesting recourses on the fly, plenty of replay-ablity thanks to the options given to the player

Overall great work from the team I would be proud of this.

Very interesting concept for a game, and I'm amazed that something like this came out in 3 days! The highlights for me was definitely the art style, animation and the gameplay. For me I think the sensitivity to control the character with the mouse was a little awkward, and the music sounded a bit empty to me. Great game!

Cool game! Interesting entry, shooting at stuff isn't the first thought when it comes to the theme "harvest". Unique!

3D assets are gorgeous! the beat give a good head shake ! Great SFX :)

i love the game design idea, but maybe reduce the number of enemie per wave at the begining of the game . Players has to play very long to the shooting part before experimenting the farming part.
The mouse mouvement was a too hight for me, especially for a fps , and a button to change it would be great.

But overall, as i said previouslly, great idea and great polised details :)

This is creepy and amazing! Having the sunflowers sprinting across the screen is the most uncanny thing I've ever seen... Absolutely amazing entry! I couldn't figure out how to get ammo for the other weapons, but my peashooter did wonders so no problems there haha xD

The game has a lot going on for it. Love the graphics, especially the plants that are so harismatic and I noticed that AI is also quite thought throu. I really love hybrid game like these. I could not get any guns besides the main one to work even tho I reread instructions few times and relaunched game. Sound design is on point and reloding is conviniently designed.

Lots of fun to play. There's a good variety of creepy enemies. Unfortunately I wasn't able to figure out how to load the different ammo types. Also please let me hold down the shoot button, my finger hurts.

Really cool game, loved the audio, the only 2 problems i have, is first no DPI settings, and second no graphics settings and poor performance, i was playing on gtx 1080 and this game lagged pretty bad, maybe it's cuz i was running this through wine or linux instead of natively

This is such a surprisingly super fun game! At first I thought I would only be harvesting plants but this is so much more fun. The controls were pretty nice and the assets were definitely terrifying but funky haha! Great job you guys :)

This was really solid! I love the concept and I feel you executed it really well, with a nice balance. The art style was the perfect level of horrifying, I love the choppiness of it and the grotesque faces, it was a really unique touch in the best way. Props on having a tutorial as well, they are honestly so nice to have in a jam. I will say I did find the camera could sometimes be very shaky, especially on the farmland. I actually had to stop playing early than I would have liked as I did get a bit motion sick. Overall though this was fun, I feel I've seen similar concepts of harvesting and fighting but this really pulled it off so much more than any others I have seen, nice work
