Hello again! :)
This week was a very special for us because we’ve implemented really great features. In a previous devlog update you could saw animal gadgets. Now we have something even better. Take a look:

Playing with animals

Achievements

Other feature is a built-in achievements system with connection to Apple’s Game Center. We decided to make our own achievements panel to increase the user’s immersion and engagement during the play. Every achievement has 3 levels of difficulty and of course a reward. There will be a ton of achievements in the game, starting from the collecting fruits, constructing buildings finishing on playing with animals and more.

Animals panel

In our opinion the possibility to manage all players animals in an easy way is very important. Thus we implemented clean and simple window showing all valuable information with sort option. After clicking on the animal camera will focus on it.

Thanks for following us. We hope you will have as much fun as we during the development process! :)

See you next Wednesday.

Hello!
Here is a Devlog Update #3. We are happy to show you three new Blocky Farm treasures features! :)

Animal camera focus

Treasure chests
There will be a treasure chests on the map. Where will they come from? From the sky, like in the Worms game!
It will appear very rarely and will contain powerful items. From the common items set (for example: bacon, wheat, wool) to the powerful ones (for example: experience, gems and animal wearable gadgets).

Saving state of the world

That is all for today.
Follow us to be up to date. We have a lot of crazy ideas to implement in our Blocky Farm game. Stay tuned! :)

Our dog is a very lucky guy ^^

Hello! We’re back in work after Game Industry Conference.
From the last Saturday (17.10.15) to Wednesday (21.10.15) we did:

Animal feeding and healing system

Animals can become ill and hungry. To heal them, you simply apply medicines. To feed them, you have to produce food first. For now animal illness is marked by a big, red capsule ;-)

Magical fountains

Player will be able to unlock one of three magical fountains as a reward/special building. It will help to develop player’s farm faster. There will be a three different fountains:

Fountain of Luck - It will give huge amount of coins every 12 hours.

Fountain of Wealth - It will give very small amount of gems every 24 hours.

Fountain of Experience - It will give small amount of experienve every 24 hours.

Some tests

Final version (still on mocked models)

We hope you will like this update. See you this Saturday! :)

Hi there!

We have an another update for you. From Wednesday (14.10.15) to Saturday (17.10.15) we did:

Production queue

In the building info panel there are two scrollable lists. The first covers the available recipes, the second shows current queue state. After production is ready, product is instantiated near the building.

Removing obstacles

There are some obstacles on the map that will block building construction on the slots. Of course obstacles are removable for some amount of money. Should we add some tools instead of money? What do you think? In our opinion it will complicate a gameplay.

We are on GIC now!

We are on Game Industry Conference which is taking place in Poland, Poznań. This is such a great event connected with Poznań Game Arena. A lot of knowledge and inspirations we gather! :)

Full album is here

Business cards

We have a totally new business cards too. How do you like it?

I hope you enjoyed this update. See you on Wednesday. :)
