I really appreciate that! Yeah it took a bit to finally figure out the “spirit” of the Ui. I’m pretty sure it could change later though.

Hey there @polyowl3D !

I absolutely love all of the updates that we’ve received! Having a week break and coming back on the weekend to see so much content has me always super excited for the progress of Roots!

I was curious, what would be the selling system for the crops if you have one in place? Would it be a situation we as the player would sell them individually or ship them off in bulk?

Thank you!! I’m glad to keep working on this and i hope to keep delivering!

You grow crops, toss them in a shipping bin with other stuff you want to sell, and it gets picked up the next day at 6 am. You have different types of crops and some are even the spirits of crops. Crops have different quality levels depending on the seed you placed down, fertilizers you use, etc. The economy of Medio could even affect it.

Love the improvements throughout the development process for roots! And it’s awesome to see the neat improvements you made from the first post to the post on the pick up notification system.

Thank you, It honestly has been so cool figuring out the look for the game. I’m sure it’ll keep changing over time.

Wanted to show some concepts of the playable MCs. We’re going for customization down the road but we still wanted some basis to anchor ourselves to so we have a clearer picture.

haha yeah, you’ll be able to place christmas lights around your farm on trees for different feels. I’ve seen folks do this and i really loved the feeling of how close you can be to nature but still have lighting like this.

Love festive decorating Are you able to do the same to bushes as well?

polyowl3D · October 4, 2023, 5:01am
