Devlog #2: Trail Ride & Horse Care Minigame!
Hi everyone! Here’s what I’ve been working for The Ranch of Rivershine in October! :)
[h2]Meadow Trail Map[/h2]
I’ve started working on the first trail map, the Lupine Meadow Path! Trail maps will be a core feature in The Ranch of Rivershine. Up to five trail maps can be unlocked and upgraded throughout the game, and each will be unique in their own way, including different environments and an original music track for each map!
You’ll be able to explore the trail and practice cross country with your horse as you’ll encounter natural obstacles. Forageable items such as wheat, oat, corn and hay can be found and gathered to feed your horses. If you’re lucky, you might even find a wild horse wandering around!
[h2]Horse Feed[/h2]
When your horse is in the stables, you’ll be able to do different care activities, such as brushing & feeding your horse. These activities increase your horse’s statistics such as their health and cleanliness.
You’ll be able to feed your horse hay, grains and a snack every day. Multiple feed options will be available, as long as you have it in stock! You’ll be able to get feed either by gathering it in the wild, growing it in your fields or purchasing it in town. Be sure not to forget to feed your horse, or it might fall ill!
[h2]Stall Mucking[/h2]
To keep your horses healthy, you’ll also have to keep their stall clean and add bedding to make it extra comfy! You’ll be able to avoid mucking stalls by leaving your horses to sleep in the pasture overnight, however, they’ll also be left with a lower energy level the following day.
[h2]New Coats[/h2]
Multiple coat patterns will be available in the game, such as appaloosa, splash and tobiano! I’ll be adding more patterns and colors over time. This month, I made three variations of the frame overo pattern and six new face markings!
[h2]English Tack[/h2]
I’ve also added an english saddle and saddle pad so you’ll be able to change up the looks of your horse’s equipment!
I’ll be taking a break in November from working on The Ranch of Rivershine to begin a small side project. I’ll be coming back to developing Rivershine and sharing more updates very soon though! Thank you :)
