Welcome To The Dream Garden


Story

One night, after a long day planting fruit and vegetables ​in their garden Marin fell asleep while thinking about how long they would have to wait to enjoy the fruits(and veg) of their labour. That night they had a very strange dream. They woke up on an island floating in the void. A beautiful soft voice spoke to Marin, saying "Hello Marin, my name is Astella, the spirit of every wish upon a star that has ever been made. I saw how hard you worked today in the garden and wanted to give you a dream where all your work pays off. Time here is sped up, a day will pass by every 10 seconds, plants only take a week to grow and you can eat all the fruit and veg you like! Stay a while, life's short but dreams are forever."

Gameplay

There is no goal in this game. Just do a little bit of platforming to find the 4 seed dispensing pipes and collect all 4 seed types(2 seed types look the same right now due to a mistake in the last hour or two of the jam), then you can garden to your heart's content. Each season the seeds will produce a different variety of fruit so if you want to try and get 1 of every fruit you should end up with a total of 16 unique items.

I had a lot more planned for this project so if you'd like to see that, let me know and if you're feeling generous and really want more please leave a tip on the itch page. If there's enough interest I'll happily add more to this because it's very fun to work on.

Note: Button names are for Xbox controller Layout, I think it should work with other controllers though if you press the button in the same place as the listed Xbox button.

Made with Godot, font used is Alphakind, 3D made in Blender, Music and SFX made with FL Studio and Audacity, textures made with Krita

NOTE in the rush to get this uploaded two of the seeds ended up with the same graphics. I promise they both grow different plants. This will be fixed in a post jam build most likely.


The Dream Garden awaits, I hope you have a lovely time!
