Uprooted: Meal Replacement Game

Have you ever played a farming game and wished that instead of giving your crops to romanceable townsfolk, you could throw them at people's heads? Then Uprooted is the game for you! Check out the gameplay trailer now! #indieGame #godot #farmingGame #farmingRPG #retroGame #garlic youtu.be/QfeDYJrCzJI

No #screenshotSaturday today* because I got double vaccinated a couple of days ago and I'm still Going Through It™, but I will answer any and all questions about Uprooted**, so ask away and AMA! * Still gonna milk that hashtag tho ** I'll also do this at any other time on any other post, but still!

Today's Devtober prompt is "apple!" Another way to ensure your vegetables won't rot is by planting fruits instead! Fruit trees take up more space and take a lot longer to grow, but once they do, not only will the fruits not rot, they'll even regrow after harvesting! #gameDev #indieDev #godot #apples

Today's Devtober word is "weed." What happens if you have a ripe crop and don't harvest it? It'll rot into a withered husk of its former self, taking up space and no longer usable! But some crops, like carrots, can stay in the ground indefinitely! Neat! #gameDev #indieDev #godot #screenshotSaturday

Today's Devtober prompt is "growth!" Each crop takes some number of turns to grow before it's ready to be used! The more crops you attack with in a single turn, the more damage you'll do, so it's important to plant strategically so many crops end up ripe on the same turn! #gameDev #indieDev #godot

Today's Devtober prompt is "community," and everywhere you go in Uprooted, you'll find plenty of people to talk to and help out! In the "Your Community" menu you can keep track of all of the places you've been and who you've met in each location. Convenient! #indieDev #gameDev #godot

Today's Devtober prompt is "menu" and if there's one thing a turn-based RPG is never lacking in, it's menus! Behold, for your viewing / reading pleásure, various parts of Uprooted's pause menu, with additional details described in the Alt Text. #gameDev #indieDev #godot #readABook #orAnRPGMenu

Today's Devtober word is "memory." Taking a nap on a train, Ayana dreams of precious memories with her dad. But, wait, something seems a bit off about him... why does he keep talking about protein shakes?! #gameDev #indieDev #godot #farmingGames

Today's Devtober prompt is "root" and what better way to celebrate roots than with the mighty pumpkin? One of the more powerful crops in your arsenal, with a small catch: its roots sprawl into nearby soil, preventing crops from being planted! #gameDev #indieDev #farmingGames #pumpkin #upROOTed #haha

Today's Devtober prompt is "member," and if you're looking for PARTY members, then we've got you covered! Each party member has their own unique abilities. With Velthur's position manipulation, CC's field enhancements, and Percy's pickling, every friend you make changes the game! #indieDev #godot

Hey what's up kids got a new game for y'all it's called Devtember. Every* day this month, I'll post something from Uprooted related to one of the randomly generated words of my prompt list! Today's prompt is Orange, so, here's an orange! #gamedev #indiedev #godot #farmingGames #oranges

Usually a battle is between you and your opponent, but when you're up against Bacon, the viral food vlogger behind the YourNextFavoriteMeal social media empire, your battle is between you, your opponent, their recording crew, and their thousands of viewers! #screenshotSaturday #godotEngine #indieDev

Working on making some animations more dynamic. Behold: the Before and After of the mighty Melee Attack! #gamedev #animation #sliceToMeetYou #thatsAGoodNameForAPizzaChain #orAPizzaThemedRomCom

No RPG is complete without a party, and they better follow you around the overworld, or else what's even the point of having them in the first place?! Each party member brings their own unique abilities to your battles, so make sure you meet them all! #screenshotSaturday #godotEngine #indieGames

We have EXCELLENT news for anyone who wants this. Harvest Moon 64 is the primary artistic inspiration of Uprooted! But there's still more work to be done to make it even MORE blocky, and I guarantee: that work will be done. No textures larger than 64x64. No highpoly models. Always make it blockier.

Imagine... Harvest Moon with murder... Somebody should really get on making something like that!

What is an RPG if not a series of menus that lead to other menus? Every time I make a new menu I am thankful I'm using the #godotEngine, as it makes UI design so much easier than other engines and tools I've used in the past. #screenshotSaturday #indieDev #farmingGames #butNotAFarmingSim

What a difference eight years can make... #screenshotSaturday #gameDev #indieDev #godotEngine #farmingGames #lessTextMeansMoreRoomForHashtagsBabey

A farmer is only as good as the crops they grow! In Uprooted, there are dozens of different crops at your disposal, from fruits and vegetables to mushrooms, eggs, paddy crops, and bees! Each with their own stats and abilities. How will you farm? #screenshotSaturday #gameDev #godotEngine #indieDev

What is Uprooted all about, you ask? Well, it all starts with the CTO of a meal replacement beverage startup who won't take no for an answer, siccing his robots on your farm because you refused to sell out to him! Why does a drink company have a robot army? 🤷‍♂️ #screenshotSaturday #gameDev #indieDev

What's your favorite part of county fairs? The fried food? The cell phone carriers handing out branded garbage? The stands selling shirts with cartoon characters dressed up as gangsters? Well you can experience all of that in Uprooted: Meal Replacement Game! #screenshotSaturday #gameDev #indieDev

In Uprooted, there will be many obstacles on your journey: such as a road blocked by a constant stream of delivery trucks! Looks like you'll need to head into the ItsWay warehouse to find out who's responsible! "You Want It? It's On ItsWay!™®²" #screenshotSaturday #gameDev #farmingGame #indieDev
