suggestion: i think you should add a spell, that will summon a familier (like in the animes) from another world, that you can form a pact with, and command it to do work for you, like watering plants or telling them to construct a building or anything you will add later in game

@erikschuit9540 Год назад

Love the videos! Some spell name suggestions: Repress, Collect. Vanish(ment), Compress. I feel like you could "flavour" the spell to fit any name. For instance, with compress, the object would become very small quickly, so it looks like you compressed it to fit in your inventory. Or for vanishment, a little smoke effect, before the object vanishes.

@Zogitar Год назад

I love "Compress," it gives the player the perspective that you are using magic to shrink the items and hold them in your bag!

if you struggle with the placements of walls and fences, the satisfactory type is pretty good. Basically it snaps to the edge as normal, but the outside always faces the player. So basically the sprite visuals and the position are seperate

@bunnybradford Год назад

I have an idea for the name of the spell which destroys objects. And I have 2 other spell ideas which are completely original. Spell idea #1: where you summon in a monster which will fight for you probably will be a pomp Lou but you can make it whatever monster you want. This spell is called Destructovaporalis. Spell idea #2: a bunch of homing projectiles goes after an enemy and freezes them solid for a few seconds. These ideas could really work for the project. Excited to see what you do next.

@Uprank Год назад

i think the destroy spell should be called something more construction like, like "Deconstruct" or "Disassemble", loving the game so far!

@zawdan606 Год назад

Maybe add different "tribes" that use mana differently? For example, witches - elemental magic, like the magical wind that makes the broom fly, or the spell that summons the rain cloud you were talking about. Others may be elves with the ability to accelerate plant growth and healing people (magic of nature?) or demons with the power of destruction (they could live near witches and from them they would learn a spell that allows you to destroy previously placed objects). And the player would wander between different tribes to learn their ways of using magic. Traveling would involve the risk of being attacked by hostile creatures, but I guess the ability to use new spells would be worth it.

@wafflewirdoGs Год назад

Yes!

@zawdan606 Год назад

@@joewantsabrew Yeah, I know it would be something big and probably a little complicated to do, but I can always share an idea. In my opinion, it would add a nice reason to explore the island and push the plot a bit forward. E.g. in Muck you can just try to survive as long as you can, but you can also collect powerups, try to fix the boat, defeat the guards, the dragon and finish the game, so in Mana Valley you could do something similar by looking for other tribes and learning their spells that could be useful in the game and would add depth to the storyline of this world

I am really enjoying the concept and progress of the game. The suggestions/ideas I have are: - Name the spell something simple like deconstruct, reverto, dismantle, return construct - Add the ability to tame monsters as familiars or pets, whether through feeding, magical contracts or a magical spell that makes an enemy a temporary or permanent friend - Make it so the game rains sometimes, making a day where you don't need to water crops - Add fishing, I love fishing minigames and you can easily add more ingredients, foods and unique items - Add a possibility of a double harvest, gamers like the extra serotonins they get when they successfully grind and get an extra reward based on RNG (ex: get 2x as many fruit) - Make a resting mechanic to skip time or days

The spell should be called "Mana Dematerializer" Also Im pretty sure you might be thinking of adding classes e.g. mana user, spiritualist, wizard, overseer, warlock, saint or something like that. And to make sure that farming is used in some sense you can make it so that you need a specific amount of mana to activate these classes. Furthermore, you will need some materials to help with your evolution/advancement to the next class. You can add a cool cut-scene where the material are put into a potion then your player drinks to go the next stage of mana. Familiars Familiars are a common thing with rpg's you can maybe integrate them into the game. These Familiars would give buffs to different aspects of the game. Weapons Weapons can be sorted into different forms, a staff, a wand, crystal, book and etc. These will give different buffs and some can only be used a specific class then a little description e.g. Staff of Yygdrasil (Staff type) "Can only be used by the class saint" The staff was made with the wood of Yydrasil and has the power of life flowing from the tips of its branches, only a "saint" could every contains its power. Or Eye of the Seventh Circle (Crystal type) Can only be wielded by a warlock "This weapon is one of the eyes of the demon ruling the lowest of the circle in hell, the corrupted energy chaoticly bursting out of this weapon can harm it users. Only the "warlock" could ever wield it and not be driven insane"

@koenraadhilde Год назад

Make different types of wands/staffs that each have a special ability and a passive For example: Water wand Unique ability: water ball (launch a water ball that when it hits a enemy makes the enemy go in it till it pops) Passive: water magic deals more damage

@anicrue Год назад

Suggestion: Once every 15 harvests of a specific plant species (guaranteed on the fifteenth, but with an increasing chance from the first of the cycle onwards, so the first harvest is 1/15 chance, second is 2/15, and so forth) you can get a higher tier or special version of the crop, like a silver pumpkin, mana carrot, flowering onion, radiant sunflower, etc. These can be used in alchemy the same as their lower tier counter parts, but also have unique spells or rituals that only they can do but aren't strictly necessary to progression. It would be something obtained and randomized upon harvest, so designing new 3D sprites wouldn't be required, and some spells/rituals/skills can change the probability. Additionally, because it would be guaranteed within x number of harvests or less, there wouldn't be as much frustration from players as there is with rare loot drops in some games because it isn't based on a luck system as much. Idk, I just find systems where progression is tied to luck kind of frustrating, and if these crops are the basis of a number of spells/rituals/alchemy, then players will already be harvesting/growing a good number of them, making the occasional higher tier surprise something pleasant, useful as a basic ingredient, but also useful for niche prank/cosmetic/bonus spells.

@ziefling4211 Год назад

Love the work so far, have the game in my wishlist and waiting patiently! If I could give a suggestion just for a general idea of what could be implemented how about a resource collection mechanic? Like chopping wood or mining ores for building? Also maybe a small village as well? Don't know if those ideas work but who knows. Keep up the great work!

@azullemon Год назад

Add a spell that allows you to tame slimes and stuff as pets or as help for fights. If this game ever has bosses, you should be able to tame them after you get them low enough and they'll be able to help you.

@dadante2536 Год назад

Spell idea: turning enemies that are on their last leg into alchemy ingredients with a curse type spell. Those ingredients could be what you don't get from planters - classic animals used for potions. The curse could be combined with various elements to yield different results: FIRE - dried newt WATER - bloated toad WIND - bat wings EARTH - mole tooth The curse is essentially "transmogrification" + "harvest materials". A simple name like "pluck" or "curse of [element]" or "curse of [animal]" could work. A name like "Pluck Toad" might be most intuitive. After upgrading the curse, less standard "elements" could be combined with it for materials of mythical beasts: WOOD - ??? METAL - ??? LIGHT - ??? DARK - ??? Also, this way you don't have to implement each animal nor kill peaceful creatures (unicorns?) just for the ingredients, and can go all out on creative monster designs.

@noctesig Год назад

This looks awesome! Im glad you are implementing some of the original concepts of your original game into Mana Valley. I think the destroy spell could be called dismantle, disassemble, or deconstruct if you are sticking with english naming sense for the magic system. Or if you want to take a more wild flair to it you could use Rewind as if you are rewinding the time of the components used to assemble to objects back to their base form.

@sasquatchbgames Год назад

Dude this is looking fantastic!! I can't wait to see how this shapes up

@ashtonisvibin561 Год назад

For the spell name, id say deconstruct, if you ever add puzzles this spell could be used to dismantle mechanisms too. In terms of things to add, first off merging! So many magic games are lacking in the ability to have unique builds and actually merge spells, like having a compress water, and then using a seperate spell to heat it up into a steam burst with tons of knockback. In terms of coding its adding 3 spells (sorry AIA) but the simple ability to get creative and the joy people get from accidently discovering something they can use is unmatched. Dragons are gonna be a common one, but id actually go the less game breaking route, and have them be related to the building system, like having a little hatchery you can build for your dragons and maybe they are just like... little, they just scavenge for bits of gold and passively get it to you slowly. (bonus points if we can breed the dragons for different colors, but i do understand all of that is a big ask) and third just animals in general, with the farming having unique magic animals that maybe eat the crops and prodouce even more mana, but they take longer and require extra water. Absolutely love the work man, keep it up!

@ezrahuffman Год назад

After implementing an inventory system for my own game I can understand a bit of the frustration when you were talking about having the right items equipped without having to loot a chest. My game doesn't even crafting, but I can imagine how some of that might become frustrating to debug and test. Good luck and the game looks really good 👍

@theai_1 Год назад

Suggestion: What if there were some kind of "explosion" spell, perhaps launching a little explosive-magic that detonates when it hits something? It could probably deal damage to enemies, at the cost of using more mana than the normal attacking spell And what if you could also use it to rocket jump?

@slBrelaz Год назад

For the fence and wall problem, I think you could address it by moving the fence to the edge ome of the following ways: - ensure that the inside is always towards the center of the square and allow fences/walls going perpendicular to be placed in the same square along with flooring. - ensure that the outside is ways facing in and make the fence slightly larger than the 2 blocks it occupies, designed so that it looks good when clips with other fences placed in the same orientation but also so that it looks like a corner when it clips into fences going perpendicular. You are probably going to want specific corner shapes, but at leats this way the roof and flooring won't require as much custom shenanigans. Before you fully implement either test them both with floors, you'll want to see if you like the look of the floors clipping through fences/walls (first option) or if they need to be slightly bigger than their square and clip through each other (possible for second option).

@Squiggy8440 Год назад

Maybe planters could be for herbs and flowers but regular farming plots for the rest of the crops. Also orchards. Oh! Maybe in the future there could be different ways to cook and refine the crops? They give extra boosts if eaten and give more money when sold. :>

@Supermax10x Год назад

This game is very interesting so far, and I love the work that you’ve done in Mana valley. A good name for the spell you created good be “deconstruct”, speaking of spells you should add one that can speed a a plants growth by a stage or two, it shouldn’t cost too much mana but still have a pretty long cool down. You could call it accelerate, anyways I can’t wait to play the game and see more of your development.

@youndev9717 Год назад

Loving the series so far, I look forward to the progression of this game :) For the problem you were having with corners and such, I think a possible workaround would be to go back to the edge tiles you had at the start, but have an option to "flip" the thing you're placing inside out Alternatively you could make it so that the player can place walls and fences on multiple edges of the same tile and simply have the inside part be facing them, which would have the same effect as "flipping" the tile but could also allow for greater design control Hope you figure it out 👍

Quick thought about the wall issue: put them on the grid line (corners solved), maybe wall collider should ignore certain layers (to prevent from not being able to put items next to the wall), but you have to check, if the next grid field doesnt contain the same object (to prevent walls going through objects). Or make colliders for other objects slightly smaller, that there is a room for the wall on sides. Or simply google how it was done for example in The Sims:)

Building out of nowhere, the thing apparates. So name the destruction spell the opposite, disapparate. Or maybe add a little lighting or laser and call dizzaperate. Maybe hide it behind a layer of an anagram if you don't want to go too literal.

Very nice work! (And very nice spreadsheets 👀) looking forward to how future you overcomes the fence issue! Name suggestion for destroy spell, Deconstruct? (Says what it is on the tin, and sounds technical, also imagine deconstructing someone!)

@AIAdev Год назад

thank you! I'm excited to see how future AIA overcomes it too. There have been some good suggestions I want to try. Deconstruct is def. a good option.

I'm waiting for this to go buckwild like wizard101's farming system where you stack plants together into a floating silo so one watering spell has maximum efficiency, then you feed it all to your gigachad genetically engineered pet to cast useful buffs and heals on yourself for free or just increase character stats of your choice by a ton. XD

I love the artstyle and aesthetic for the game. I don't ever use Steam, as I don't play many games, but this game is on the wishlist. It's actually the only game on the wishlist. So, is there going to be a painting system? Perhaps using alchemy, different colors can be made. It's fun when games have a lot of customization, especially building games. Perhaps also a banner system, where you can make very basic designs but very custom designs, reminiscent of patterns in animal crossing games or clan flags/emblems/banners in multiplayer mobile games. Perhaps the designs can be used as stamps that can be placed on surfaces. Keep up the good work, it's looking great! :3

I hadn't thought of a painting system, but it is a cool idea!

@riliththerogue Год назад

Love the game! For the water icon changing to red, it kinda looks like it changes to blood, which while metal af, doesn't seem to represent the artstyle lol. so maybe instead you could put a face on the drop from happy (watered) to neutral (needs water) to sad (desperately needs water) or something like that?

@lorinckorodi4789 Год назад

I think you should try to incorporate some MC Witchery or Occultism like circle rituals. I really like those.

Suggestion For Performance: I don't know if you are already doing this but I would highly recommend having a world manager that ticks every frame then in that manager you can iterate through all the plants in the world to age them all from one component, instead of having several hundred behaviors in the scene all running on update functions. This should help to reduce the overall performance cost of plants and allow you to age them even when the player isn't nearby. You could also hook in several other systems at a later point like time of day, hunger, etc, if you want them of course. Also I would suggest that you use vfx graph for particle effects, it takes a little bit more leg work to learn but it's hundreds of times more optimized so long as you don't need the particles to interact with physics. You can still have gravity, but world collision isn't really possible with vfx graph. as for the planters I would just have set points you can plant in each one that center the seed on mouse over that way the player doesn't have to be very accurate to plant the seed, and you can get more control over exactly where the seed is growing and how many plants fit in each planter. You could then expand on that idea further by having specific plots in the planter only suitable for specific sized plants, and if you wanted to go really deep you could even add data structs to those plots for things like fertilizers.

@AIAdev Год назад

these are great suggestions. I'm doing the first already. I'll have to look into vfx graphs. I'm not sure I understand the idea.

@bradjones7491 Год назад

@@AIAdev VFX graphs are just another way of making particles in unity it works with the urp and hdrp render pipelines and has a node drag system more similar to how unreal does particle effects, but instead of going through the usual processing loop of geometry -> cpu -> shader -> gpu it just puts all the particle calculations on the gpu from the start. This means you can easily have particle systems with millions of particles without tanking fps although I still don't recommend going quite that far, but the downside is that since the particles aren't being calculated on the CPU at all they can't interact with collision as that is only happening on the CPU. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7bMOhNUA1bI.html&ab_channel=GabrielAguiarProd. here's a link to some very handy VFX graph tutorials. The VFX graph is not only much more performant but is capable of significantly better results.

suggestion: I think you should add a monster that looks like Mr. Beast and if he gets to you he will either take some mana or give you some.

@realmastersilver1849 Год назад

You could add a quick travel spell that will use mana. The map will only show parts you've been to and maybe there will be structures that you can quick travel to.

@Beffel Год назад

The idea for you game is good, having something like a lively tower-defender. Didn't expect that, tbh. About spells, I like skill trees, that require 2 previous skills to learn a more powerful one. ofc elements is best base for spells.

@wafflewirdoGs Год назад

You could maybe try making a enemy that can burrow underground like some kind of duo, the two enemy's switch between each over like their attached to each over. The first one could be like a flying guy and the other one would be like a carrot guy who burrows underground

@DeathxStrike18 Год назад

Have you tried making it snap to the closest edge center and make rotation based on that snap point? In this case you would need objects that snap to the grid from center of grid square, and objects that snap at edges of the grid. For the plant problem of floating above planters change the origin point in a 3d software like blender to the point you want the plant to be at the surface so for a stalk the models origin would be slightly higher than its base, in this case you can just create "seed spots" using an empty parented to the planter in this case the origin of the object will use the "seed spots location" for where it should be when it changes model.

suggestion: if mana defines how big/powerful your spells are, then I think it would be cool if you could get different types of mana depending on your actions in the game. for example gardening would give you plant mana and mining would give you rock mana.
