Day 11 / 12

• I pulled an all nighter to get the game in a some what presentable state 😅

• I overhauled the inventory system of the buildings

  • I actually just wanted to make them less ugly, but in the process I revamped the whole thing

  • I used this tutorial to get the UI kind of right:

    
    

  • So this is what I ended up with

  
  

  Better then before I would say 😄

  • That took pretty much the whole day 11

• After that I added all the new art that was created at the same day:

  
  

  Looks so much better now 👍 Just for reference here is the before:

• 
  

• Then I had to make it an actual game to get all the plants and build up your garden

  • I tried to balance the plant prices and grow stages so it progresses nicely, but I think to get it right I need to playtest a lot more.

• I realized the day and money counter UI is still pretty ugly - so fixed that:

  
  

• And then I added a time multiplier last minute- so its easier to try out the game without spending much time

  
  

• Now it was time to submit and create the project page

  • Exported the game to HTML - that was a breace - thanks godot 😃
  • Just reused some of the game assets to create a Banner
  • And a Background
  • Fighted with the formatting of the description for way to long
  • Aaaand Published!
