[DEVLOG] Chudo Potion
Chudo Potion: the smell of MoleJam
Hello
This is a summing up of our results of the past development.
For our MFGJ Winter 2023
Briefly about the workers
We worked on the game
Jorik is a novice programmer entertainer
and
Tatar is the main engine for art and sounds
Briefly about the concept
We decided to make a product where you - the player - will have to take control of an adept of the jam potion school.
The adept under your control must pass the exam on the preparation of the great decoction
MoleJam (Krotovuha - translated from ancient Tatar).
You have to grow all the reagents yourself, and then convert them into 5 potions
what will become the basis of Krotovuha.
Visual: 2D, Top-Down, PixelArt
Genre: Garden Defens
Title: Chudo Potion
Creating the first concept:

Briefly about the development
Start:
The first week of development was active
On the first three days, all sprites were drawn. It was decided to reduce the resolution of sprites to save time
and the allocation of this time for writing and adding music and sounds.
Programming of the main functionality of the game was completed by the end of the week.
The problems were the completion of logic for the potion preparation sequence
and the conditions under which the growth of different types of seeds is ensured.
Many mistakes were made in setting up the system of events in an attempt to keep up with the time
But the witch was already confidently working with her hoe and holding potions in her hands
You need to plant and grow a seed to obtain a reagent, and to grow a seed, you need to perform a number of actions
tied to seeds of a specific color.
The solution for resuming the number of seeds on the map was enemies. Killing innocent animals that do not want to harm you
becomes your ticket to completing the exam.Don't be afraid, when they "die" they run away.
Adjusting the behavior of opponents has not become a bigger problem. Just a couple of days of work . The result is satisfactory. Opponents are able to interact with the boiler, beds and push hard. And you beat them with a hoe.
To give the player the task of growing reagents , a task was attached to each seed to solve which
new buildings were created
Green seeds - after planting, you need to plow
Blue seeds - pour water from the fountain
Yellow seeds - to introduce fertilizer from a composter
Red seeds - to water with the blood of innocent animals
Purple seeds - require all of the above actions.
And the minimum necessary training from the main menu
Results
It was a good experience of creating a completed project in a limited time. The ability to output negative and positive
moments of our work (plan better!!!).
I haven't learned how to write a soundtrack.
A good two weeks of headache
