hi! first of all, i absolutely love your game. now i can have a sunny apartment filled with plants both off- and on-screen.

i downloaded the game, but it does a few weird things on my computer that i'm not sure how to deal with:
- when i try to access the Settings tab, the menu window closes and i can't open it at all anymore unless i restart the game
- when i click "take picture" it makes the camera shutter sound, but there is no extra window (where to save the image or something), and i couldn't find any of the pictures i've taken on my pc, so i am unsure whether it works at all
- also, this is less of a bug and more of a personal preference, it's in full screen, which makes it more of a bother to switch between the game and doing other things. is it possible to turn that off in the settings, or would you consider implementing such a feature? (assuming one day i'll be able to access the settings tab, ha ha)

these are issues i have with the downloaded game on my pc (windows 10). when i first started the game i did get a notification that my antivirus software was having a problem with the file, but i clicked the "trust source" option, so i'm not sure if that is having an effect or not.

meanwhile, i'll continue to play the game in my browser where it works perfectly fine. thank you for all your hard work, it's truly a delight!

Developer

Hey, thank you for the kind words and the glitch reports! The settings tab closing is bizarre, I've never heard of that glitch. I'll keep an eye out. Planning on adding windowed mode in the next update

I just found this game and I am loving it! Found one small bug, the fact that if you hit the back button and have an item behind it. (I have a bookcase) and if you hit the back button it will zoom back in on the item behind the button. I found a way to get around it, but just thought i'd post it here. Thank you so much for such a relaxing game!

Developer

Ah! Nice catch. Thanks. And glad you like the game!

Hey, I just got the desktop version. How do I play it in windowed mode, instead of fullscreen?

Developer(+1)

Hey, sorry, that's not available at the moment. It's in high demand though, I'll see if I can add it soon

Developer

Just letting you know this is now implemented!

(+1)

woo! Thank you for all your work!

I just downloaded the game and I've enjoyed what little I've been able to play of it, but no matter where I try to place my second garden plant, there isn't enough light. I tried moving my first one to give its space to the second but that didn't work, and now my first one won't grow either. Any idea how I could fix this?

Developer

Hmm, that's very strange, never heard of that glitch before. What kind of computer are you using?

In the meantime, best advice I can would be to try stashing your plants, and then taking them out of the inventory and putting them back down again. Also, try closing the game window and reopening it. Sorry for the inconvenience!

I've just got an Asus laptop with Windows 10, nothing special. I'll give stashing the plants a shot, I haven't tried that yet!

Edit: That worked for a few minutes, but immediately after buying a third plant the issue arose again, and stashing the plants won't fix it this time

Developer

Huh, jeez. Again, sorry about that. My only other advice would be trying to delete your game and reinstalling, and also erasing your save file and starting again. You could also play in browser.  I'll try and see if I can replicate it, but there's something weird happening on your laptop that doesn't happen on mine when I test.

I started playing on my chromebook last night, but when I came back it hadn't saved! Is there something I'm supposed to do?

Developer

Hey, sorry, some people have trouble saving, and I haven't been able to replicate it! If you can download it, I'd suggest that if you're having trouble in the browser version

uhh, i accidentally got a lil mushroom on the plant nursery before unlocking the bathroom and i´m not sure if that was intended to be able to happen pwp

I'm really enjoying the game, but I seem to be having a minor issue with clicking on my plants? I'm playing using the downloadable version, not the browser version, and whenever I go to click on a plant, the highlighted pot has a mild flickering effect? I assume this is the indication that I can click on the plant, but in the browser version it doesn't flicker like this. Because of this flickering, it usually takes a lot of clicks before I go into the zoomed in plant view.

I'm having the same problem, downloaded version for Windows using the Itch.io app.

Developer

Thanks for reporting you guys. Still getting bugs ironed out for the downloadable version. I'll try to get to the bottom of this.

First: I really love this game!!

I got a small problem tho. I have the downloadable windows version and when I click on settings it just goes back to the planting room. I can play after this but I cannot go to the shopping basket menu. Just nothing happens after this. It's all god, when I restart the game and don't click on settings.

It's nothing major, I still am able to play the game without other problems so no hurry.

Thank you

Developer

Hey, thank you for letting me know! Do you think you could email me at help.ovrfull@gmail.com? I think I can maybe find out what's causing this bug if you're willing to download a test version of the game.

I've download the game, only to find out I can't interact with the plants in any way, which means I'm unable to play the game. Is there anyway to fix this? I'm pretty much stuck in the tutorial, and the plants refuse to grow. 

Developer

Hey, sorry, I'm still trying to find this bug. It's something a couple people are running into. Hopefully I can fix it soon

I think I'm having the same or similar issue?  I've been playing for a week, and at first I thought "oh maybe these plants grow in real time" but I feel I'm probably just stuck on this screen:  [edit] Well the image uploader isn't working either, but I am on the starter plant, and it tells me to click on it but I can't.  [edit again] Uninstalling and reinstalling worked.  Thank you for going on this emotional journey with me.

Hiya~
I started this game yesterday and kudos, it's so calm and relaxing <3

My To-do list seems to be stuck though, I completed two items on it at the same time (Buy a plant rack and Take a picture of 3 plants all grown from the same seed) and they're crossed through but not vanishing. The center item isn't completed yet, but I'm sure I've had earlier situations where multiple items would vanish off the list at once when completed.

Developer(+1)

Hey, so glad you like it! I think you're actually at the end of the list, so there's nothing more to fill in

(+1)

Alright, thanks for letting me know! Thought that might be the case but wasn't sure :)

Would it be possible to transfer the plants onto the downloadable (linux) version? Would it have something to do with backing up the contents of the cookie?

Developer

Hey, sorry, that's not something that's available right now. I'm investigating downloading / importing saves for another game rn though, so maybe it will be available in the future. You could save seeds you like and grow them at the nursery on the DL'd version?

Hey Brady. I'm having a lot of fun with this game! After playing online I downloaded the OSX version and I'm having a lot of crashing issues: any time I click on the to-do list, any furniture/mirror/poster, or the nursery the game crashes. This happens in windowed or fullscreen mode and at all resolutions. I can't clear tasks or play with seeds!

If you need system specs let me know (there have also been a number of crash reports generated each crash).

Thanks!

Developer

Hi quimler! Thanks for letting me know.  What version of the game are you playing with? And could you please send the crash reports to help.ovrfull@gmail.com? I'll try to get to the bottom of it!

Hi!! first of all i totally adore this game, i had the downloadable version and i love the anticipation of seeing what my plants will look like fully grown! also having the game ambiance is great background noise when im working on my own projects <:') <33

Sadly last night i had to hard reset my pc while the game was open, and when i went to open it afterwards it seemed to be hardlocked on this screen, none of the plants/furniture show up, i cant click any of the buttons, and closing the game + restarting my computer doesnt help fix it :^( i've deleted and reinstalled the game and that hasnt fixed it either, so im not really sure what else to do 

Developer

Hi! Thanks for the kind words :)

Re: your bug, it sounds to me like the hard reset got your savefile so corrupted that the game can't even open the menu! Reinstalling the game wouldn't fix it bc the save file lives on your computer, not with the game files. If you're willing to poke around in the files, you should be able to delete the save files manually, and then just start over w a new game:

On Windows:

C:/Users/<username>/AppData/LocalLow/overfull LLC/plantdaddy

On Mac:

~/Library/Application Support/overfull LLC/plantdaddy

In either of those cases, if you delete everything in the "plantdaddy" folder, the game should be able to run no problem.

Sorry for the kind of arcane fix! And if you try it, please let me know if it works?

It worked!!! thank you so much 😭💖💖💖

Developer

:) ! no prob

How do grow cave blossoms on the nursery?? "Too much light" message appears. :/

You might have figured this out already, but just put them on a shelf out of the direct light from the windows!

Hi! I just unlocked the bathroom but when I tried to grow a mushroom in the bathroom, it couldn't grow because the air was too dry. 

Developer(+1)

It's a mystery…… (a shower related mystery)

(+1)

What's funny is that after posting this is when I figured it out ahaha, I'm now a proud owner of 9 lovely mushrooms! Thank you for humouring me though!

Developer

hahaha good stuff :)

Hi Brady, what a lovely game! 

Such a silly/basic question but how to I unlock the boarded window? 

Developer

Hey, thanks! :)

It's in the shop, in the furniture section!

(+1)

oh gosh hahah how did I miss that! 

Thanks so much :)

How do I update the game while also making sure that I don't erase my data? I'm using the windows downloadable version

I am Also interested in this.

Developer

Hey guys! You can actually just download the new version of the game and start using it–your save file doesn't live with the game files, it's stored on your computer somewhere else. 

It's probably a good idea to delete your old copy of the game when you make the switch, because it can screw with your savegame if you accidentally open a new savegame with an old version

(1 edit)

okay! So just to clarify we replace the whole folder with the new one and it should be fine? Also do you think you could add a thread w download instructions or put it on the download page so it's easy to find for future ref? Tyty! 

Developer (1 edit)

Yeah, you can just delete the old game folder and use the new one!

And that is a good idea :) i'll see what i can put together

(1 edit)

also i dont know if this is something, but i played fullscreen for like an hour or so and the zooms in and out from plant to room gave me real bad motion sickness. 

Edit: i think it could be partially fixed by having a Move Mode button or smthn. So you could click that and make everything moveable. It would make it a whole lot easier to organize plants and furniture without moving in and out constantly. 

My Tiny Trees and Ancient Ferns suddenly had their leaves turn brown. Is something wrong? Whatever it is, I can't seem to make them green again :(

(This is also true for any new plants of those types I purchase or grow from seeds. Forgot to mention that.)

Developer (1 edit)

Hmm… sounds like a graphics bug, sorry about that. The game sometimes has too many objects to keep track of and the renderer can't handle it. Are you playing in browser? Might help to switch to download version.

(+1)

Yeah, I'm playing in browser. Just discovered another bug too: when I complete items on the to-do list, it'll cross them off, but they won't vanish or be replaced by other items.

Developer(+1)

Ah gotcha. You might be at the end of the to do list!

On the browser version, the last 3 times I have returned to the game, everything has needed watering but not provided any  leaves or stars? 

This didn't seem to happen before I got the watering can. Also I can confirm that the leaves and stars are produced if I leave the tab open long enough, but the situation makes the "and then close the tab and come back the next time you have a spare moment" in the instructions basically unworkable.

Developer

hey, thanks for the report! that's definitely a bug, i'll look into it

For the third time in 4 months the game has completely wiped out all progress.

I'm using Chrome, Win10 laptop. Plugins are as follows:

  • UBlock Origin
  • Unpaywall
  • Google Meet Grid View
  • Night Mode Pro
  • Go Back With Backspace
  • Reddit Enhancement Suite
  • Google Search View Image Image
  • HoverZoom+
  • Amazon Assistant for Chrome
Developer

Damn, I'm sorry about that. Thanks for the report and for listing your plugins. You didn't clear history at any time, did you? Erasing history / cookies would clear the game files

In the meantime, maybe try the downloaded version? It is more stable
