Season 2: Seed update


The seed update is here!

Thank you all for being so patient with the updates, this one will change a lot about the game and make it much nicer to play.

Here's what's new!

1) New crops

There are 5 new crops added the game. These are: Radishes, Cabbages, Tomatoes, Potatoes and Returnips.

Every new crop has its own properties and are all better than carrots. Radishes grow fast but need a lot of water. Cabbages are worth a decent amount but grow slowly. Tomatoes can be re-harvested 3 times and Potatoes are worth tons but need additional space. Returnips will return to your inventory after you harvest them, but are expensive to purchase.

2) Seed system

Each of the new crops will use the new seed system, allowing you to hold a limited amount of single use seeds in your inventory. You'll be able to buy them from the market (or from the secret pickup that'll spawn whenever the market opens). The market opens every 2 minutes and stays open for 1 minute. Be careful, you're not safe whilst you're at the market!

Strawberries have also been updated. They will remain as an unlockable crop that you will find during the Mothman event. They work the same as tomatoes and can be reharvested 3 times, but cost much more to plant now.

3) New Sounds

Lots of new sounds have been added the game, giving a bit more emphasis on planting, watering and harvesting crops. I think it really adds to the whole experience.

4) Mystery event system

Here's where things get interesting. I've put a second spawner in the game that will randomly decide to spawn a mystery event. Most of these are non-lethal scares that occur in between cryptid spawns (apart from one which is very lethal). They'll keep players on their toes and add a whole new factor of spookiness to the farm.

5) Reworked core systems

I've gone through all of the old code and reworked it to work with Unity Events now, making for a much smoother, less spaghetti code experience. I've fixed several bugs in the process and made the UI much much nicer.

That's everything, I hope you all enjoy the update. Thank you to everyone who's played the game!
