I liked the game. Driving model was pretty good and fun to drive. Sucks that in Need for Wheat game you don't need speed to plant or harvest crops. On 2560 × 1440 resolution, the pixelation effect was much stronger than on your screens, but the game still looked okay.
the pixelation was actually turned up after some feedback saying it should be stronger, after playing around with it, I found that I did prefer it having a more retro/pixelated feel! :)
And thank you for the feedback, speed is definitely needed if you want to get the highest score possible. But perhaps things could be adjusted such as the end timer to add extra pressure. Either way, thank you again for the feedback I always appreciate it and thank you for giving the game a try! :)
Game worked well for me!
Had fun hitting ramps and trying to use them to fly into the animal pens lol (wasn't intended I don't think, I just wanted to try). Couldn't get to the point where I could actually cut my wheat down, but I tried to fill up most of the field.
I found the instructions in the pause menu a bit too late, but I'm glad it was there!
I like the pixelized style a lot!! But it was jarring to go from unpixelated images of the feilds on the main screen/menu to the pixelated versions in-game.
Solid entry!!!
thank you for giving the game a try! Definitely agree with your feedback on the level selection screen, that should definitely be updated to better represent how the game now looks. I should also do the same with the screenshots for the game too. And I’m glad you enjoyed the ramps haha! Thank you again for the feedback! :)
Mmh. It appears I can't start the game. I'm stuck on the main menu, impossible to click on anything and no key seems to start the game. Please help!
oh dear, sorry about that! If you press the Windows key to show your mouse cursor, you should then be able to select the options! Must have missed a something in blueprints to do this automatically. I will look into it! Thank you :)
Ok, I manage to start a level. I'm sorry but have you tried your export? Keyboard does not do anything and the controller is broken: triggers don't make the tractor move, but pushing the left stick to the left does. To go foward, I push the stick to the left, to turn left, I have to push it up and to go right I push it down. Could not go really far as I always end up stuck on a wall or a tree... My best score is 13% wheat planted.
Please ping me if you manage to make it playable. I really want to play Need for Wheat x)
Thanks for letting me know about the controller errors, I will fix those. The keyboard works great on my end with the export, so not sure what is going wrong on your end. Will let you know once I get controller working properly, will investigate that soon :) (As it was working for me in the game engine, but something may have broken on export, will check that out)
I'll try unplugging my controller to see if the key oard wakes up ^^
Programmer is fixing the menu issues, but I have checked both keyboard and controller controls, have fixed the mappings, and have made some other improvements for V5 of the game. Hope it now works better for you :)
Ok I got to play it! There's still something weird with the steering: as soon as I press the right trigger, I can't properly turn anymore.
I see a lot of potential here. The premise is great but while playing I was picturing a game where you would do turns around a circuit and have to pass through areas to plant or harvest wheat while trying to beat a time. In the state of your game, I could not go fast since every turn is 90° (if not 180) :/ In the end I was always going slow to get to be precise and would never enjoy the full speed potential of my tractor :( Maybe I didn't get it and it was not about speed, though!
Other than that, it is now working pretty well. Without the steering thing, I think the driving would great. The ambiance is fun and the graphics are working along with the global amiance of the game. Having a variety of levels is a plus. Very well done for a 2 weeks worth amount of work for 2 people!
Thank you so much!
Definitely will take on board your feedback about the steering, needs some tweaking. I set up the gearbox and other settings to be similar to an F1 car, which is why it doesn’t really turn at high speeds without using the hand break to drift lol. But I think making the steering a bit better shouldn’t be too difficult to do!
Thanks again! Glad the game finally worked for you :)
No problem!
Please take a look at our game, and give us some insight if you will ;)
sure! Hopefully I’ll have some time this weekend and I’ll take a look! :)
