Farming Plants (progress update)

tl;dr: minigames and quests progressing, a bunch of animations WIP, working on tree-tops zone

Shadow sub-region

Continuing the ground-forest/farm work, it's mostly functional but I'm hoping to expand it a bit more. I've worked on the tree-tops section, too, both assets and the Spider Lady.

🟦 Farming / minigame (1-2 weeks)

• Growing minigame functional, actively testing and looking for any necessary tweaks

• 1 small animation and 1 regular animation in progress, both mostly done

• Farm Lady NPC sprite art done, another small animation in progress

• Quest logic remains to be done

🟦 NPC quest (1-2 weeks)

• Done NPC idle sprite, but there might be more depending on how the quest plays out

• Reward animation work-in-progress

• Quest and mechanism logic work-in-progress

🟦 Level design (1-2 weeks)

• Worked on more art assets

• Ground section is basically there, but I want to expand it a bit more, maybe with another small minigame

• Started working on tree tops blocking out and interactables, but it depends on Spider Lady work

🟦 NEW: Magic spell (1-2 weeks)

I've started working on a new magic spell here. I don't want to reveal too much yet, but it's quite a bit more complex to implement :)

🟦 Plant Spitter entity (1-2 weeks)

• Cleaned up a bit in preparation of a potential quest/minigame, otherwise didn't focus much on this, still needs 1-2 fight moves

🟦 UFO / alien special/miniboss entity (1-2 weeks)

• Finished 3 fight moves, 1-2 more to be done

• Need to finish its quest mechanism and add some small dialogue / scenes

🟦 Spider lady entity (1-2 weeks)

• Experimenting with her web physics, otherwise not much yet

Otherwise

• I've been working on a more back-and-forth dialogue system, so expect improved dialogue with both old and new NPCs in future updates

• Worked on 2 new Blessings

• Worked on more bugfixes, should be ready to release a bugfix build for Insiders

That's it for this update - as usual I'll aim for another progress update in two weeks
