Turnip Time (Log + Info)
A downloadable project
The game is playable on the above website, this page is only used for 1) a place where I store notes for this game and 2) a way to represent this game on itch.io so all my game projects are in one place
Known bugs
- Mouseover, clicking grown turnips, and selecting new turnips is buggy if you resize the screen while the timer is going on. If you aren't able to click things, try to resize the screen back to what it was originally.
General thoughts on this game + goals
Rambling ahead
My current goal for learning to make games is to make the kind of games I play most often: relaxing, low-brainpower, accessible on web/mobile, facilitates social interaction or self-expression
I like using Unity best, but Unity is not the best for making browser games and I have no idea how to make it do multiplayer on a browser. Therefore, this game was made to help me learn a different set of tools that can facilitate my goals: Javascript, Phaser 3, Sockets, lowdb, hosted on Glitch.
I definitely like Unity better... probably because I'm more used to it, probably also because it's a lot better documented than Phaser 3 (understandable though) and also because CSS is very hard. I think after this I will take a break from web and just make a bunch of easy stuff in Unity before challenging myself again LOL
