Game Development: Prelude pt. II

[naosnule]

things from harvest moon games that are not in haven (regardless of if good/bad):
-seasonal crops.
-weather to affect crops.
-watering.
-tool upgrades to span more tiles (1x1, 2x1, 3x1, 3x2, 3x3, etc).
-fertilizer to speed up growth and give more produce.
-different kinds of field types (ie rice paddy).
-little gnome slaves to work your fields for flour.

You just reminded me why I loved Harvest Moon when I was a child. Jorb please, introduce this! If I recall correctly most crops were seasonal. And during winter nothing grew?

A question about shields and catapults: shield defends _all_ things, including catapults too? If defenders will try to use catapult to destroy enemy's catapult\ram - will they attack their own shield in case when enemy's construction located on the claim?

Siege Engines are not protected by the Shield. Attackers may fire at defending catapults, and vice versa.

How much range will catapults have?

200 map pixels, circa 18 tiles. Updated OP.

ETA on Loftar awake status, and on new world launch? Ish?

Will defending pults get +1 range? Otherwise they'll sit behind the wall, unable to shoot at the catapults breaking your wall from maximum range.

almost all were seasonal yeah. in some versions there were crops that spanned different seasons, but otherwise they died when out of season. winter didn't grow anything so you could go fishing and mining, though in later games you could grow some stuff like kale.

How do you decide which one is defending?

Might be a good idea if "defending catapult" can be defined in game terms. Will consider.

Loftar Wake your ass up. Beauty sleep is for those that can benefit from it. You can not. Now get your ass up and get to work.

Range +1 if target is a catapult ?

Range +1 if target is a catapult ?

Might work.
