Last Fantasy Harvest Sun by AranHase
A heartless dragon called Gindra is attacking the town again. You always dreamed of being a hero, and this is your chance to become one! Unfortunately a hero`s equipment price is too high. You will have to work on the farm to save enough coins for the right equipment.
Make money, buy your equipment then go west to kill Gindra!
================
Rules:
* Two controls only: Left and right! (use "AD" from WASD, or just left and right. Controller should work, but not tested)
* Stand in front of an item or object to interact with it.
* What you hold in your hand will change the interaction.
* Farming order: Hoe, Seed, Water (loop water everyday), Handcart when the crops mature to collect it.
* Animals will give you dairies that you can collect everyday.
* Losing all three hearts will only advance to the next day, so it is okay.
* Clear all the enemies to the west to finish the game.
================
Specs:
Built for Windows 64 only.
Engine: UE4
Graphics: Inkscape
===================
Known bugs:
* It is possible to grow crops without advancing a day by just leaving your home map
* Swords will require a certain gold amount to purchase, but will not consume gold coins
* Some Z-fighting on the sprites
====================
Update:
* V0_1: Only removed a debug arrow on the MC foot and fixed tutorial widget size

I collected most of my money from cows. Going to shop doesn't consume a "day", but resets the dairy hut. Another thing is this - I collected money for the best sword for like forever, and then got it for free. :E (game didn't take any money for it)
Overall - nice and cozy game, could use some chill music. :3
Great game! I didn't realize there were other things to fight besides Gindra (perhaps help text should also include "fight monsters (west)" before "fight gindra"). It appears to be possible to beat the game on Day 1 by visiting the shop, buying a chicken, and then just continuously jumping between shop and harvesting livestock without ever resting =).
@rzuf and @Jimbly , oh you **** cheaters :P haha, yah, It's a known bug but if you managed to find it then you deserve the glory of beating it on day 1! Congratulations :)
@rockford Agreed. I think the idea has potential to be fun, I just didn't manage it this time. But learned a lot, definitely.
Didn't see the need to plant seeds since the animals give quick money with none of the work, and since everything resets when you change maps.
Combat is a little annoying when you have to back up to the right then go left again to attack more than once, and health upgrades would've been helpful to avoid backtracking.
Overall it's a nice idea though, the art style is cute, and it's an impressive amount of content for 48h. Nice work!

@NightShadow0,
Thank you for all the feedback. This is my first Ludum Dare, but I did others Jams before where we get no feedback and its not as amazing as LD. I'm learning so much in so little time, so thank you all <3
The cows are a bit overpowered, at the end I had an income of 40000 per day (I had 80 cows) and could have easily bought more cows. (It would be nice if one could just stay in place and get 1 cow/seed per second.
I like that the player can choose when do attack the enemies, I wished that there was a bit of a time pressure, because I just waited untill I could buy the diamond sword.
