Godot web embedding does not work on Ludum Dare, please visit the itch.io page to play the game!

A game inspired by the likes of factorio and stardew valley, where you build a factory to make and deliver food orders.

A lot of work was made on back-end functionality and mechanics, and my mood dwindling at the end of the jam left me with little energy to actually build on gameplay loop elements. That is why factory building is not really present, as well as the whole delivery aspect of the game.

I had more in mind for this project but I doubt I'll come back to working on it.
I hope you will enjoy it nonetheless!

- Scroll wheel to zoom

The controls were a bit confusing but once I got the hang of it it was pretty fun. This seems like a start to what could be a great game.

WebGL context lost, please reload the page

Pretty insane foundation. I wish you would've had time for more content. I love these types of games!

I wasn't sure that I need to hold right click, but once I got that, it was satisfying to collect and place stuff. I like the use of colours and the fact the player stands out from the environment.

I would've really appreciated a hotkey to access the hotbar as it felt it unneseccary to reach down there with my mouse every time i wanted to swtich item. When i came over it though the game was really fun and i had fun expanding my farm and building the structures. It felt like a perfect match between stardew valley and factorio! Love it please expand on the concept.

I really enjoy this kind of games. It's totally addicting.

Really good start to what could be a really cool game. Controls were a bit confusing, but apart from that a good game

I dont know what I am doing wrong but I cant plant or break stuff. I am holding down mouse buttons, clicking, holding down and clicking... nothing works, it seems to be an error on my pc. Tried it on a different one and it worked there. Very strange

took me a bit to realize all the controls. solid foundation for sure. some sound and animations would have gone a long way to making the collecting wood and stone a little more engaging. would like to have seen where it could have gone with more time.

LDJam user 2401682 May 2023, 09:09

I also really wish there was more content, I love this type of games. Looks like a solid foundation for something bigger :) Still, managed to grind some 100 units of flour :D

@lisyarus You have been deemed worthy of receiving the flour medal!

Interesting concept, would be nice to have some hotkeys to select the items

Patrick Abernathy3 May 2023, 01:34

I really like the map and the way the world interacts. It would be cool to see more fleshed out version.

Thank you to everyone for the nice comments and the ratings! Thanks to all of you my game will make it to ranked status. Maybe that will give me some motivation to do some more work on the game after the end of the jam...

Definitely underdeveloped, could be very cool game about cultivation on an island if improved : D

I would recommend allowing using 1-9 keys for selecting items to use

shimmerscale3 May 2023, 15:03

Seems like a cool foundation for a game! Would be more fun if there were more things to build. It might just be me, but the right click to break things felt a bit unintuitive. I think it would've been better if breaking things was an option in the toolbar. Graphics are cute!

Drestin3 May 2023, 20:04

I know the feeling of finishing with a full-fledge game system, instead of a game :')

The foundation is good. It has nice potential.

LDJam user 2781464 May 2023, 09:28

This looks like a promising start, it's a shame you couldn't finish more of it during the jam.

J0ye5 May 2023, 18:51

I actually really liked this. This is already such a great start. You should be proud of what you have achieved.

Good job on the game. Obviously it's missing a lot of stuffs, but I've tried to make a similar game in a jam before and I understand how much work is behind the seemingly easy mechanics, so I really appreciate what you've done here.

Sempra11 May 2023, 16:12

I read your description and i understand the feeling. You did a great job tho, and it's cool to have a game like this one to present even if you don't pursue. Great entry, well done, I'm impressed!

TheSmellofOxygen12 May 2023, 15:28

I wish there was more! It's a shame you weren't able to add the delivery/automation side of things. I could see myself growing my little farm for a while. I was impressed at the smooth UI and the smart auto-tiling system you seemed to have working in the background.

Still, no delivery, no sound, no goal.
