Hello, fellow game creators! 🌱 Have you noticed the scarcity of innovative farming games lately? Well, I thought it was high time to stir things up! Welcome to Farm Fiesta 2024 - Quirky Edition, a game jam designed to cultivate fresh and exciting farm-themed games!

As a big fan of couch co-op games, I often team up with my friends and fellow farm game enthusiast to enjoy our farming adventures, and we've realized that the selection out there is a bit limited. So, I’m challenging all you talented developers to join this creative journey!

While I mentioned co-op, making your game a 2-player experience is entirely optional. Whether you want to focus on single-player or cooperative gameplay, the goal is to have fun and explore new ideas!

Mandatory Requirements:

Here’s what you need to include to keep the spirit of the jam alive:

🌾 Farm Focus: Your game should embrace the farm life—think crops, animals, and rural charm! Feel free to pick any theme, from Sci-Fi and Horror to First-Person and Top-Down perspectives. The choice is yours!

🌞 Dynamic Day/Night Cycle: Incorporate a day/night system into your game. How does it impact your farm activities and gameplay?

🌟 Secret Requirement: Choose two from the following mysterious options to add depth to your game:

• A Human Relationship System
• An Animal Companion Relationship System
• A Unique Harvesting Tool
• A Functional Shop with a Chatty NPC
• Placeable Props for customization
• Monsters (let your imagination run wild!)

So, come join us, unleash your creativity, and let’s plant the seeds for some fantastic new games! 🚜🌾🌙🎮 #FarmFiesta2024
