Thanks! Crafting isn't in the game yet though, but I believe you get the gist of the gameplay. 😊

You actually did? Amazing! I scattered them coconuts all over the place and when you go to the front shore, you can see all your hard work, or perhaps destruction. 😄
Thanks for spending your time at Pug's Coco Island! Much appreciated!

Ah, yes! Harvest moon is ❤ and one part of it that captivated me was the sense of wonder when you go up the mountain, and if you notice with the camera movement, it was inspired by that change of perspective in HM, so I implemented it on my game as well. So creating a mountain of my own is like a homage to that game and felt very important.

As for the bears, they're actually pugs with different colors (fawn, silver, black + brown, and albino.) Also the banana motor boats play an essential role for the gameplay, as they will be the initial transport method for visitors/customers going to the island. At least that's what I planned at first. Decided to add them in quickly before submitting because they were easy and less of a hassle. 😁

Well, thanks for playing the game, means a lot! 😄

Thank you! I really like the look and play of Animal Crossing, just don't have the actual experience of playing it. 😅
As for putting stuff together -crafting, building and selling aren't in the game yet as I decided not to force-add them in so I could submit in time.

Thanks! A bit of a shame that I could only add in a few interactions within the time-frame, but I'm glad you still found it fun and cute!
As for the theme, I know it's a bit tricky to see, but if you think about it, -one coconut tree resource to produce multiple items and to expand from- is how I interpreted the theme with.

And sure, I'll be happy to check out your game as well! 😄

I like cutting the trees as well! Do you think the explosion is a bit overboard? 😅
And no team btw, I'm running solo on this one as this is my passion project and really holds close to my heart.
But maybe in the future, I can collaborate with a friend on another project.
Thanks for playing! 🙏

Oh, thank you! Means a lot to me. Thanks for checking this game out! 😊

Thank you, I really spent most of my time just trying to make everything look pretty and cute. Also just making sure that controlling the character is lively and responsive.

Sorry about the crafting though, it's not yet in the game. I just ran out of precious time, and would mean trouble for me if I tried to add it in the last minute, so had to press that submit button to avoid regret. 😂

Ooh, interesting! Wind waker vibes indeed! And to compare this with Stardew Valley is high-praise, thanks!
I would name this Stardew Pugsley 😂 and sure, I'll check out your entry as well. 👍

Honestly it was hard for me to fit in the theme because when I join game jams I usually already have an idea for my next title. So the idea I had in mind was to farm stuff and the hero must be a pug (dedicated to my son/dog who loves coconut oil), and then it hit me, a coconut tree!
So from that one resource, all of its parts are usable, which can be interpreted as "less is more". 😊

Thanks for the great compliment! I've been wanting to create a farming/sim game of my own and this game jam really helped push it forward.
And yes, the building/crafting mechanic will be in the future update. 😊

Again, thank you for taking interest in it 🙏
My pug would love to take your money!  Seriously, he likes $1 bills and puts them in a coin bank. 😂

Thanks so much for the response, I agree with your suggestions. As for the theme, the general idea I had was this one resource that would create more resources, but I can also see other ways to interpret the theme in this game, like how one pug creates a lot of things, etc...
But I do see that it feels like its theme is more is more. 😂

The game is very unfinished indeed, as I spent too much time on the art and also fixing small issues, making sure that expanding the game will be an easier task. That said, crafting didn't make it to the cut. Though, I wanted the players to have a sneak-peak with the machines, that's why I put them there.

Also, as I realized I was spending too much time on the environment, I decided to use unofficial terrain textures.
Like the sand is for the coconut meat, the mountain was for the roofing, and the grass was for items with leaf weaves. 😆

Again, thank you for your helpful feedback, I will also check out your game and share my genuine thoughts! 😊

Very nice compliment, thank you! 🙏 I'm very excited to continue and make more content for this game, I think three months should be enough for a complete base game.😄

Wow, thanks for the rating and for reporting the sound effect, will look into that and fix it. Puggo is really happy with your comment 😄

In truth, I have no experience of playing any Animal Crossing titles, only just seen them on video trailers and from shares from friends.
So the real inspiration for this game is Harvest Moon, which I enjoyed and finished when I was young. Just switching it up with build mechanics and simplified harvesting.

As for the time, I spent the first days just creating the art assets and didn't really bother creating a prototype. For the character, it doesn't use complicated rig controls, just simple skeleton and IK for the legs were enough. I'm also a proud user of Playmaker (a visual scripting tool), making it fast, fun and less messy to program the game. Plus, I wake up early and sleep late so I could be more productive.
So I believe those helped me in making all this possible within the time-frame.

Thanks so much for checking out the game, I will also look into your game. 😊 👍
