►Thanks for checking out my video! Please subscribe to my channel for more future content! I make indie games, and play indie games!

►HEATSEED is a much more ambitious project, so I'll need lots of help :D Please consider joining the discord to meet other awesome gamedevs and add suggestions for the game!

►HEATSEED LORE: You are a Lifetree Science and Magic graduate. It is your job to protect this small town's young Lifetree. Lifetrees produce magical HEATSEEDS that this world uses for steam powered engines. Creatures of darkness hate Lifetrees, because they are what keep them at bay. So you must protect the Lifetree's roots from the darkness that comes from below. On your small farm grow this world's crops. They are mixes of crops that we know (ex: carrot + potato = carrtato!). Make gold and improve your skills in this magical Heatseed Steam Powered world!

Unity is a cross-platform game engine developed by Unity Technologies, first announced and released in June 2005 at Apple Inc.'s Worldwide Developers Conference as a Mac OS X-exclusive game engine. As of 2018, the engine had been extended to support more than 25 platforms. The engine can be used to create three-dimensional, two-dimensional, virtual reality, and augmented reality games, as well as simulations and other experiences. The engine has been adopted by industries outside video gaming, such as film, automotive, architecture, engineering and construction.

Several major versions of Unity have been released since its launch. The latest stable version, 2019.3.13, was released in May 2020.

Unity gives users the ability to create games and experiences in both 2D and 3D, and the engine offers a primary scripting API in C#, for both the Unity editor in the form of plugins, and games themselves, as well as drag and drop functionality. Prior to C# being the primary programming language used for the engine, it previously supported Boo, which was removed with the release of Unity 5, and a version of JavaScript called UnityScript, which was deprecated in August 2017, after the release of Unity 2017.1, in favor of C#.

Within 2D games, Unity allows importation of sprites and an advanced 2D world renderer. For 3D games, Unity allows specification of texture compression, mipmaps, and resolution settings for each platform that the game engine supports, and provides support for bump mapping, reflection mapping, parallax mapping, screen space ambient occlusion (SSAO), dynamic shadows using shadow maps, render-to-texture and full-screen post-processing effects.

As of 2018, Unity has been used to create approximately half of the new mobile games on the market and 60 percent of augmented reality and virtual reality content.

Unity is a cross-platform engine. The Unity editor is supported on Windows and macOS, with a version of the editor available for the Linux platform, albeit in an experimental stage, while the engine itself currently supports building games for more than 25 different platforms, including mobile, desktop, consoles, and virtual reality. Platforms include iOS, Android, Tizen, Windows, Universal Windows Platform, Mac, Linux, WebGL, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One, 3DS, Oculus Rift, Google Cardboard, Steam VR, PlayStation VR, Gear VR, Windows Mixed Reality, Daydream, Android TV, Samsung Smart TV, tvOS, Nintendo Switch, Fire OS, Facebook Gameroom, Apple's ARKit, Google's ARCore, Vuforia, and Magic Leap.

there is an impressive amount of stuff in this already

[nichegames]

I love how you hit the ground running. Very nice!

[LTGD]

That was all really, really neat. Good job.

[PixelArchitect]

Wow this is crazy fast right after finishing your last game! Look forward to seeing more :)

[Devtrast]

A few crop suggestions:
Pumpkwii (Pumpkin/Kiwi)
Banango (Banana/Mango)
Grapple (Grape/Apple)
Artcherry (Artichoke/Cherry)

Game looks promising man, good luck!

[smallgaming]

What a nice background story for the game. The combination of elements that make up you world is really interesting. So much possibilities.
I hope your wrist will heal fast and good. Looking forward to the next devlog!

So glad to see Super Neat Cat finally released! I can’t believe you’re already diving back into another game! I’m looking forward to see where this one goes... be careful though RPGs can be very difficult and it’s hard to keep their scope in check. Also make sure to differentiate from games like star dew valley, I think the farming genre is pretty popular but there’s always room for innovative ideas! I can’t wait to see more❤️

[GrizzliusMaximus]

This feels like a technic modpack placed onto stardew valley! Great idea. Love it already!

[marioantonio]

Hey, this looks really good!
I was think of the combination: pumpcorn.

[Pika]

The game looks very cool and I love the art style

[Skeffles]

New game drop. This is cool.
You can definitely see the influence from star dew valley and I know it's early on but I think you're going to need to really differentiate from that.
Perhaps putting more emphasis on protecting the life tree and really flesh out the haunted woods idea.

Either way it'll be a good development to watch and here are some fruit & vegetable name ideas.
Pumpcorn (pumpkin + sweetcorn)
Spring pepper (spring onion + pepper)
Cabergine (cabbage + aubergine)
Cuccery (cucumber + celery)
Letteek (Lettuce + leek)
Parspeas (Parsnip + peas)
Spinatoes (Spinach + tomato)

[DualWielded]

This is absolutely incredible! The game already looks soooo good! Great job so far :D

[StephenBarr]

Sticking to the theme of nature again I see. It looks great.
Asparagus + Broccoli = Asparcoli
Garlic + Cucumber = Garcumber
Cauliflower + Mushrooms = Caulishrooms
Pineberries; which are tiny pineapples.

[studiomalaka]

That looks amazing! I wish you the best luck with the new project!

[AntTonyPony]

Your pixel art is so amazing. Im really digging your new idea. Keep up the great work.

[blackjackveteran]

oh my god you are a great game developer you started on your new game right away

[KindSparkdev]

BET The Stardew Valley x steampunk vibes are really interesting!
And my submission is a Water Potato - Watermellon/Potato

Edit: best wishes for the surgery.

[eddie.z]

I can tell you have been working on this game for a bit! Anyway the art style is super cool! Amazing video as always

[imzary]

Well Well Well....



















A NEW POG GAME

Very excited for this game, it looks really amazing. You made a lot of progress for such a short period of time! :)

Maybe corn + avocado = Cornado or corn + pumpkin = Cormpkin
