Hello, dear Greenfeet friends! May the grass be soft under your steps!
The deadline is fast approaching, and I'm still aiming to finish a build for tomorrow, October 26 (a busy evening awaits me). I had initially planned for the 27th, but my appearance at a local event was rescheduled to the 26th. The game will be showcased at a LAN party in Toulouse, France. It's a great opportunity for me to gather feedback and address major issues before uploading it for online playtesters. I plan to upload the build for Steam players on Wednesday, October 30.
This is a high-stress moment for me because, being a bit of a perfectionist, the game isn't yet up to my standards. But someone once told me that if you’re not a little embarrassed to show something, you probably showed it too late. More seriously, putting the game in your hands will let me prioritize improvements based on your feedback. I could spend months perfecting elements that aren’t important to you, so it's best to learn your expectations and desires for the game as soon as possible!
If you want to be a tester and get access to the alpha, please join the discord and apply for the "playtester" role!
Meet the encyclopedia
This week I focused on an important element of the game: the encyclopedia. Its goal is to be your main knowledge source about everything in the game. It will contains a reminder of the various unlocked recipes but also tutorials for more complex features. Each entry will be unlocked as you discover new things by crafting or exploring.
Bugfixes
- FIXED: Storage settings were too permissive under certain circumstances.
- FIXED: Snow and storms were never triggered during the Storm season and the Cold season.
- FIXED: Mouse cursor not showing the correct state when hovering clickable UI elements.
- FIXED: Wrong duration displayed in the UI for building and crafting.
That's a wrap for this week. Thank you for reading!
PS: don't forget you can wishlist Greenfeet Haven on Steam, so you don't miss when it's out!
