Next Bachelor: Zarek
Hello together!
We've had a lot to do in the last two weeks!
The UI has been redesigned and there is definitely a difference in quality. We are still implementing controller support, which is a bit more nerve-wracking than we first thought. Every UI window has to be adjusted and button helpers have to be inserted and displayed correctly. But it's progressing well.

Crossbreeding test:
Last week, we participated in a GameJam to test the Magical Harvest breeding system.
(What is a GameJam? It is an attempt to create a finished game within a certain period of time. These are, for shorter Jams, usually smaller games of a few minutes playing time. The duration of a jam varies from 24 hours to a few days. There are also longer, more challenging jams.)
The GameJam lasted 5 days and in this time we created the small game "Monster Book of Monsters" where you can crossbreed monsters. The mini-game included in it is the precursor to the breeding system between different species in Magical Harvest. The game was well received and therefore passed the "user test".
You can play the game (for free) here: Itch io - Monster Book of Monsters
As we worked under time pressure, we couldn't come up with high quality 3D models and animations.
Next Bachelor: Zarek
In addition, the illustration of the next bachelor is finished: Zarek.
Zarek is a Nereid and fisherman, but he prefers to fish with his spear than with a fishing rod. He is very self-confident and has a dream which he is trying to fulfil. Would you like to help him?
More information about Zarek will follow soon!
Artist: Ulfenheim
What's next?
We will continue to work on the demo. Unfortunately, we also have trips abroad coming up, so that will set us back a bit more in terms of time. But we'll do our best to have an update available at least in November, which will significantly increase the quality of the game.
Best regards,
Your Magical Harvest Team
