Harvest by Tod Semple

[raw]
made by Tod Semple for Ludum Dare 52 (EXTRA)

Harvest: Vegetables that are out of this world

Fly through the solar system growing vegetables on different planets. Harvest is mostly an idle game with lots of clicking.

I worked for about 30 hours over 2 weeks. Working for a few hours each evening works much better with my family and work life. The Extra format rocks!

The art is all done in Procreate on an iPad with and Apple Pencil. This is the first time I've used those tools. I probably spent about half my time on the art.

My kids (6 and 9) helped with a bunch of the art and design. My kids pick amazing colors and have the craziest design ideas. They are awesome!

The game uses a C++ game engine I built with emscripten for the web build.

Have fun!

fun game, made it to Saturn! :D the game pretty much plays itself after you reach a certain point, but fun nonetheless! wish there were some sound effects though

Incredible game, I really like idle games, Everything was pretty intuitive and easy and fun to get going, the progression was well done, only thing I can think of is maybe raising the price of items on the second planet just a tiny bit, the art was really good, and I noticed and liked the tiny touch of the shop not appearing right away until you get started selling plants, great project!

Lovely game! Was totally immersed so the sudden ending on Saturn took me by surprise; would love to travel through the whole Solar System!

Super fun! Glad the extra category allowed you to participate. I love the super cute vegetable art, and the Harvest theme worked well. I love me a good clicker game and this delivered!

A fun and pretty well made little game. The visuals is really good, but some music/sound effects could have made it even better. Overall a good jam game. Well done.

I really enjoyed your game, it was fun to play!
I agree with the comment before me: it would have been a bit more atmospheric with background music. The end of the game also surprised me a bit, maybe the tasks on Mercury could have been a bit more demanding. ;)
The illustrations turned out great, I really liked your ideas and the style!

Super fun and satisfying all that is here is great some sound affects would make it feel more whole and even though all the visuals when growing and collecting are nice some visual affects could add some to the game too but still a very nice and well finished game without those things.

A really fun game but could have used some simple sounds. Like the other comments stated, it became a bit of an afk game quite fast, but it was fun to have it run in he background and periodically check how you're doing :smile:

Great stuff, very addicting! I think probably everyone who plays this will play to the end, because of how chill and satisfying it is. Good to see the extra-category being put to good use as well

Well done! :star2:

A relaxing game with very cute art. I certainly didn't expect the whole Solar System thing, very cool!

What a cute lil game! Really love the different planets and plants you can have, great idea with the upgrades and the truck to travel. I love the oranges the most :D

I would've appreciated some sounds or music, but other than that good job.

I like the graphics, animations and the descriptions of the things!

Funny how it's more and more just 'automate things and watch your money grow while not doing much' - darkly realistic about how rich people can just get richer without doing anything...

Some sound would have been a nice addition, but otherwise, very polished!
