Overview:
**This project is still extremely early in development.**
Harvest Rogue is an old school RPG/Roguelike game, and features a centralized area you can build your home, craft, grow, etc. Currently, the art is using the DAWNLIKE tileset, but will slowly be replaced by theme-appropriate tiles, which will look VERY different - I already have an artist working on this (he did the logo you see above).
Story:
The game's story can't be fully described without giving things away, but generally speaking, it covers the 5 stages of grief, and deals with loss, memories, and legacy. The plan is to hit you in the feels. I've got the main pieces already laid out, and am working on filling in the actual script for the game's scenes.
Mechanics:
The game has a turn based system. Every time you perform an action, the world ticks (like any traditional roguelike). The game is design for use with the XBox One controller, but supports keyboard (Arrow keys, Enter, Esc, and Page Up/Down for page scrolling). Combat will retain most of its style from traditional roguelike games as well. However, there will be elements of crafting, farming, and building of your own safe area. Note that the main game world is NOT procedurally generated as it is very heavily story based. As you play, there will be cycles where the corrupted will enclose you (kind of like darkness). Corruption will always flow towards your safe area (the part of the game world where you can build your home and such). You can plant memorial flowers on your land, which seems to hold back the corruption, keeping you safe while it is bad. In the corruption, everything appears old/dead. If you enter the corruption yourself, the game will fade you out, and you'll get a game over; the corruption will be explained in the game's story and is a key game mechanic, as well as plot tool.
