made this the other day. the game was so cute and fun, can't wait for the full version on steam! there are some bugs: the game freezes when you click "enter building" and there are weird, nearly-uncontrollable shakes that happen when you get near to the edge of the world, which is frustrating because that's where the deck is. also, not to be nitpicky, but why is the save feature reserved for the steam release? , i'm just saying this here because i can't access the google form on this computer. that being said, this game has really great potential.
looks great, glad you like it! I’ll be updating the demo soon and hopefully those bugs will be fixed, thanks for reporting them! I’m reserving the save feature for the final release because I’m just 1 person making this game and I can’t add everything in at once
How do I make them farm? I adore this game and play it over and over, I just wanna learn how to farm, but this is a great game and I can't wait to see the final product 😍
OMG I LOVE THE RECENT UPDATE!!!! Hey but... Can I report some bugs???? So the only bug I've found is when you try to enter houses... It'll just freeze the whole game. ( PLEASE TELL ME IM NOT THE ONLY ONE... )
I love this game, it's so cute! However, I experienced a strange bug where the screen would start shaking. (I've submitted a bug report about it.) An option to move the screen with the mouse (like panning?) would be nice. Looking forward to being able to build an island, though!
can't wait for that screenshot button with etc content!!! great game but I have some thoughts!!
it'd be cool to have an upper-level water placement so that the water doesn't seem so low when it comes to ponds, lakes, etc. I can't wait to see your plan for this game it is truly amazing, beautiful, and adorable. although the minor things that bug me ATM with the current version are 3 things.
1 there is no way to cover a large area of land easily, you have to hold the left click and cover each and every space. Maybe adding a tool or hotkey to fill a bigger area.
2. the tutorial was not too good... personally when it comes to tutorials I feel they should be interactive and not too overbearing at the same time, just show where the major tools are or how the game works, at the start you are just thrown in, adding some type of narrative like ¨ create a place the gourdlets will love¨ may be better for guiding the player to make stuff, and having little achievements, like seeing the gourdlets living in your area will encourage the player.
3. the music, the music is good but there is no variety, maybe as you play on throughout the game and more blocks are placed, houses trees, etc the music will go to the next song and next song, I like the chiptune lofi feeling of this game and I think that music fits best, the train is a bit loud but you can always turn that down in setting so no worries.
THATS all the complaints I have, everything else I have to say is all kisses n hugs, I really respect and love what you are creating and I want you to make the best of your vision and goals, ty for making this.
Suggestion: the pontoons are able to serve as a bridge but the gourdlets are reluctant to cross them, which means that it remains in a corner of the map when making islands (which is a classic in view of the game), which it would be good if they were more encouraged to cross them and, in general, to explore ;)
Such a cute little game!! As well as adding a feature to delete individual items, I strongly suggest you make objects moveable!! Those two things in itself will make such a huge difference. I am also curious if you plan on adding a "Satisfaction" feature with the lil gourds? Making them happy is my first priority!! Thanks again for your hard work on this sweet game :)
thank you!!! I have erase working on my local build, testing it a whole bunch now to make sure it doesn’t break stuff. I like the idea of moving objects- after I release the eraser feature, I’ll see if that covers it, otherwise I’ll consider adding a “move” button
Gourd satisfaction- I’m trying to keep things as simple as possible so I don’t want there to be any scoring or anything, so for now, I’m just going to add way more ways for them to interact with their environment (then when they start fishing and singing, it’ll be very clear they’re happy with their environment:))
Bro, I love it when the game glitches and the music disorts. I always feel like there's going to be a demonic passenger just come off the train some day that attacks the other villagers.
I love this game! It's great, cute, well made, has cute graphics and is overall amazing!! I could build a big city for hours, it's just so fun. Thank you for making this game and I hope it becomes popular!
totally agreed that this would be a great feature to have, I am planning to include this in a later version of the game after I do some more promotion and updates
this is awesome! :D i've always wanted a game where i can just build for fun, and this is definitely it. i can't imagine how cool it'll be once it's complete. i love the concepts you plan to add, especially more objects and more character interactions. i'll be following your progress, can't wait for the full release.
just some feedback - i saw someone else commented about the process of deleting items, and i'd just like to add that i agree. it's a bit sad to have to delete lots of things to remove a single item. maybe if there was some sort of eraser tool? that way the ui could still be very simple.
i hope you don't mind the feedback, and again the game is so good!! i played for ages without getting bored. good luck with the rest of the development :D
thank you so much for leaving a comment!!!! I'm so glad you liked it!!!
That is really helpful feedback, a couple of others besides you have requested it, people also want to be able to delete floor tiles so they can make little ponds in the middle of their towns... I still have a couple other other features and patches higher up on my list, but I will start prototyping an eraser once I get through the more pressing tasks!
Unfortunately right now, the only way is to undo 1 thing at a time! I am considering adding a way to delete individual items, but am always balancing my desire to have new features vs my desire to have an extremely simple ui. But I will note down that at least 1 person wants this!
yep :) plus I'm planning a big update in the next few days with much more intuitive object/floor deletion controls (and ctrl+z to undo / ctrl+shift+z to redo)

thanks! I have this on my list of things to investigate!
U ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE
its tragic

I love this game, it's so cute! However, I experienced a strange bug where the screen would start shaking. (I've submitted a bug report about it.) An option to move the screen with the mouse (like panning?) would be nice. Looking forward to being able to build an island, though!
thank you, I saw that bug report!!! working on it asap
its beautiful!!
OMFG ITS SO PRETTY 🥹 🫶🏼
love the maze!
<3
THIS IS PERFECTION HOW???
Aw thanks! It was nothing interesting! I just used a grid system, a lot of symmetry, and a maze algorithm; and thought about places I'm familiar with!
It's not that good but it's decent for my first try! this is super fun
this looks great!
I love the second little island!! Only thing i would say to improve your design is maybe more lights, signs, and trees/plants! (ofc its great tho!)
slr but thanks!! im gonna try creating some more soon :D
not my best but its cute :)
i love it!
thank you so much !
turned out cute!
Thank you. :)
its beautiful!
Thank you...
so cute！
Thank you!!!
made this cute setup with a (bad) hedge maze, heart island/lake and even a snowy getaway :)
don't ask me how long making the heart shapes took, i don't want to talk about itthis looks so nice!!!!!
OMG!!! LOVE THE HEART SHAPE!!!XOXO
AHH this is the cutest game. I would die for little marketplace vendors or a plaza fountain. Lovely work; keep it up! <3 Game is in my steam wishlist!

I got a question, do you know how much you'll be putting it on steam for
can't wait for that screenshot button with etc content!!!
great game but I have some thoughts!!

It's cold... or something (really wish I could hide the UI)
<3
working on a screenshot button that will hide the ui as we speak
sick :0 (ty in advance)
this is great!!!!
STOP THE ALLIGNMENT OF THE TREES IS SO GOOD AHAHGDHGAHSGDHAG
Gourdlets island :)
Narrowly caught just before the page crashes (phew)
nice!
Was the page crashing due to an issue in the game, or something else?
No, no worries about the games, it was my connection :)
Rediscovery of Gourdlets thanks to the announcement of the new update..
A great pleasure, even if I think they are afraid to enter the forest :)
beautiful
such a cute game!! I love it so far :3 It's definitely wishlisted
thank you for the support!!

I can't wait! I love your vision, I wish you smooth sailing with development! <3
thank you!
Bro, I love it when the game glitches and the music disorts. I always feel like there's going to be a demonic passenger just come off the train some day that attacks the other villagers.
haha great!! there's no way it's possibly caused by a bug, so I'm glad you like it :D
that should honestly be a feature
I love this game! It's great, cute, well made, has cute graphics and is overall amazing!! I could build a big city for hours, it's just so fun. Thank you for making this game and I hope it becomes popular!
thank you so much, I really really appreciate it!!
WOW! love this game :)
thank you :)))
can you please make a "save file" option because i hate it whenever i have to restart the game all the time
thanks for the suggestion!

I kinda want it too. Would be really useful in my opinion

looks great! :)
thanks :)
thank you!
super adorable and relaxing game! i only had one issue, when the "add to steam" came up i wasn't able to use the undo button or settings :(
thank you so much for pointing that out!
I just made a fix to lower the wishlist button, and it should work now
