Fat Farming Girl

[redpandagames]

This freeware game is about a chubby farmer who is about to lose her farm. In order to keep it, she needs to reinvent herself, or perhaps she will be able to find happiness with the way she is now...

Marry your way out of your financial troubles, or get smart and make your farm profitable. Get the bank off of your back by paying off your loan. Or, you could take the easy way out... You could kill whoever tries to get between you and your farm...

More information and screenshots can be found at the link below. This is sort of a Harvest Moon inspired game with an adult twist. If I can get support, I will be expanding this into something really cool. Did I mention it's free?

She doesn't have an up or down sprite.

She seems paper thin actually, since she moves like Paper Mario.

Jokes aside, the concept seems good enough just the execution needs to bring it home.

Thanks for your input. The characters don't have up and down sprites because this is just a prototype. I thought the effect ended up being cute and different. If people are interested enough, I will be adding more agricultural elements like farming/orchards, mini-games, festivals, additional seasons, etc.

Oh, maybe this should be in Project Discussion?

I like where this is going, but of course it needs to be fleshed-out and refined. The controls aren't very good either, I had trouble speaking with the villagers. Also, I think there was a bug, I can't buy sugar. One more thing... personally, playing as a fat girl has no appeal to me. >_>

Maybe you should give people options to choose what kind of character they are and what kind of person they want to court. NPC's and Players of different shapes and sizes.

I fixed a few bugs, so you should be able to buy sugar now:

I am having trouble with the mouse because the character is bigger than the intended size for characters, so it is difficult for players to line up and interact with the events with the mouse. A lot of people are switching to the keyboard controls.

I planned on having a choice to be male or female. I guess I could add sizes, or maybe you could adjust your weight through the gameplay by eating or not eating or something?

Yea, makes sense.
