A small idea and a bit of motivation
We decided to make games, Rhiannon doesn't have a technical background, but Mark has a degree in computer science and 7 years of enterprise programming experience. So, a Master's in horticulture and some inspiration led us to where we are now; making games becuase we just enjoy doing it. Our first game is a little idle farming game called "HortiCAT" and was built as just a simple excursion into learning the basics of Godot and programming in general. Now, we are working on our third game, Rhiannon is learning 3D modeling and has become quite the Godot expert!
Our Games
HortiCAT
A full mobile game, known as HortiCAT!
For months now, we've been working hard almost every day after work to make a full scale idle farming mobile game. It's been a ton of work, but it's been very rewarding. Not to mention, we are already planning our next few games! We've both learned a lot from this experience, in terms of project management, code structuring, and game design!
A game about growing plants
Rhiannon used her knowledge of plants to make a very accurate, beautiful rendition of real world plants, their different stages of growth, and how they look when harvested! She did almost all of the art in the game, WHILE learning coding, Mark did the duties of a pseudo tech lead, helping manage and make 'stories' and designed features that they'd both work on together.
A fully featured Mobile farming title!
You can plant, harvest, grow, fertilize, water, even craft the products into more expensive ones! The scaling is exponential, but unlike most idle games, this one does have a finite ending! We made it because we just love the vibes and the art, and we hope you do too!
Wünderpack
A fast paced physics puzzler game!
Race against time as you work to fulfill your lovely party member's requests! Things get increasingly chaotic as you retrieve items and enchant existing ones to create crazy and zany effects. Rack up points by keeping them in your bag! They might bounce away, start floating, or even transform into another object. Keeping all of these in mind as you grab objects and push others around to dig up just the right item before your party member loses her patience!
SimuCorp Battler
An atmospheric, dark vaporwave puzzle battler
Uncover the mysteries of SimuCorp as you battle through ancient medieval war sims, unlock units and tactics to give yourself the advantage as you challenge your mind against enemy forces. You might have fewer resources; but you must have greater intellect and strategy to overcome the odds. Merge unit data files to unlock new tactics for them, or expend resources to harvest more currency and have greater returns for each battle you face.
Just... Don't let the CTO find you.And that's just about it
We have other projects coming down the pipeline, and we are working hard on SimuCorp to make it into something really special!
