Garden o' Love by MCRewind

Hey all, happy to actually get my game submitted, this is Garden o' Love! A combination of farming simulator and dating simulator, it kinda works kinda doesn't and isn't incredibly fun but let me know what you think. I think it looks visually decent at least.

The goal of the game is to grow date and sell a farm of vegetables, using your influence over the environment to match your crops/partners desires. The dating part didn't really work out but its partially there.

[MECHANICS] The currency in Garden o' Love is Enviro, you can use it to grow plants, upgrade yourself, or modify the environment.

Each in-game day lasts for 10 seconds. At the end of every day you are awarded a certain amount of Enviro dependent on the happiness of your vegetables.

If a vegetable reaches max happiness (3 hearts) then they are ready to harvest. Click on them to scoop them into your inventory. Once in inventory you can sell a vegetable for double the buying cost + any multipliers you may have.

In order to increase a vegetables happiness you must match its desires within a certain range. In any crops dialogue tab (accessible through conversation by click) you have access to a profile button, click this to reveal all of a crops desires. Matching these desires through environment manipulation will yield you happy crops!

Speaking of environment, the games weather stats will change slightly at the end of every day, following the current randomly selected weather trend.. watch out!

The Upgrade Tab can be used upgrade multiple traits about yourself, the Enviro you collect, and maybe even a little secret.

Finally, you may notice a pink bar above each crop, this is their partner satisfaction meter. The meter slowly ticks down and when it hits zero, the crop dies in its spot, making it unplantable for the remainder of the game. To avoid this make sure to regularly talk to your crops (by clicking on them) to replenish their satisfaction.

Additionally, the shovel can be used to remove any living crop, gaining nothing but spending nothing. With the shovel selected, click anywhere to switch back to the regular pointer.

@MCRewind... It would appear that you also forgot to include the UnityPlayer.ddl file in your zip folder.

Not bad, although modifying the Temp/Humidity etc. is useless since it resets after 10 seconds. Also, I couldn't seem to make much progress until I bought the upgrade to make plants like you more, and then they all instantly became permanently harvest-able for some reason. After that, I made so much money out of nowhere that I bought all the upgrades at once and finished the game, lol
