In Development - Collectibles and New Town Decor
I'm working on a new system to add some variety and some reward for exploring the map. One of the pieces of feedback that I get is the journey from town to a quest and then back again can get a bit boring as there is little to discover or see between destinations. The Collectible Decor system will add some things to the world that you can find and use to improve your town!
To start, there will be five resources to discover on the island - Beehives, Cherry Blossom Seeds, Birch Tree Seeds, Roses, and Fireflies.
Collecting enough of these will allow you to build special structures for your town, including Apiaries, Cherry Blossom Trees, Birch Trees, A Rose Trellis, and a special Firefly Lamppost.
Some Concept Art
I made a quick mock-up of how the beehives will appear using the concept. They'll be found on the small birch trees. Beehives are more commonly found to the east of the town.
A bag of seeds hidden in a bush. Seeds for Birch Trees and Cherry Blossoms are often found north of the town, with Cherry Blossom seeds being more prevalent near the ruins.
A Cherry Blossom placed in a town!
Fireflies. These are more common near Willow Grove.
A Birch Tree placed in a town.
Each resource can be found anywhere, but will be more common in certain areas. Most of these will add beauty to the town when placed near homes with the exception of the Apiaries. These can be placed near Brewers to enhance the beer and improve the mood buff from beer.
The artist who drew the concepts is now working on the actual in game assets while I work on the system to spawn the collectibles and build the new structures. My hope is to add about five more of these after the launch of the initial five.
I'm also likely going to increase the size of the build space for the town since you'll need the room to fit the new decor!
I'd love to hear your ideas for collectible resources that could be used to build decorative structures in the town too.
I hope everyone is staying safe, and as always, thank you so much for your support! :)
