Before Covid I was literally a glorified cat-sitter for a muddled creature with no name. As we got to know one another I christened her Sheeba, after her haughty behaviour.

However, she was a struggling, neglected shadow of her former self by the time we met. Uninterested in food and too afraid to go out, in fact the neighbouring cats would eat her food for her - the countryside is an unforgiving place.

I had to chase them away and make her work for her food, to build up her muscles and reignite the sense of reward that she would understand : just as she would fetch rabbits for herself when she could, only leaving the shit-sack and ears.

This project is where I cut my teeth learning to program in Swift. It was to just be a simple game, but I learnt that there is no such thing !

The game hinges around a gardener for hire, warding off animals to protect the plant life, which is then pulped into a chutney to pay him.

I must have made eight games, having restarted so many times, until I hit the wall : the gameplay wasn’t fun :(

So, after creating a codebase for the game mechanics and a lot of animated artwork, the game was put on ice. I had a new job in London, Covid was over and I had to move on.

I saw Sheeba through to the end. Adopted, the debonair and often absent owners could not pin down her age, but she was about 107 years young.

When I figure out how to make a 2D game work I shall complete it.

Jumping in head first by designing a natural object like a tree pretty much personified the naïvety of my approach, but after that ordeal every other graphic was so much easier to design.

The game cycles between the four recognisable seasons that we experience here in the west of the northern hemisphere, keeping track of the years.

Naturally, vegetables are seasonal, even garden specific, with all four seasons fetching all manner of plant life after a full year.

In order to progress, a combination of both fresh vegetables and pulped chutneys will open up new areas and tools when bartering with others, leaving the player to take the risk with their perishables.

Before Covid I was literally a glorified cat-sitter for a muddled creature with no name. As we got to know one another I christened her Sheeba, after her haughty behaviour.

However, she was a struggling, neglected shadow of her former self by the time we met. Uninterested in food and too afraid to go out, in fact the neighbouring cats would eat her food for her - the countryside is an unforgiving place.

I had to chase them away and make her work for her food, to build up her muscles and reignite the sense of reward that she would understand : just as she would fetch rabbits for herself when she could, only leaving the shit-sack and ears.

This project is where I cut my teeth learning to program in Swift. It was to just be a simple game, but I learnt that there is no such thing !

The game hinges around a gardener for hire, warding off animals to protect the plant life, which is then pulped into a chutney to pay him.

I must have made eight games, having restarted so many times, until I hit the wall : the gameplay wasn’t fun :(

So, after creating a codebase for the game mechanics and a lot of animated artwork, the game was put on ice. I had a new job in London, Covid was over and I had to move on.

I saw Sheeba through to the end. Adopted, the debonair and often absent owners could not pin down her age, but she was about 107 years young.

When I figure out how to make a 2D game work I shall complete it.

Before Covid I was literally a glorified cat-sitter for a muddled creature with no name. As we got to know one another I christened her Sheeba, after her haughty behaviour.

However, she was a struggling, neglected shadow of her former self by the time we met. Uninterested in food and too afraid to go out, in fact the neighbouring cats would eat her food for her - the countryside is an unforgiving place.

I had to chase them away and make her work for her food, to build up her muscles and reignite the sense of reward that she would understand : just as she would fetch rabbits for herself when she could, only leaving the shit-sack and ears.

This project is where I cut my teeth learning to program in Swift. It was to just be a simple game, but I learnt that there is no such thing !

The game hinges around a gardener for hire, warding off animals to protect the plant life, which is then pulped into a chutney to pay him.

I must have made eight games, having restarted so many times, until I hit the wall : the gameplay wasn’t fun :(

So, after creating a codebase for the game mechanics and a lot of animated artwork, the game was put on ice. I had a new job in London, Covid was over and I had to move on.

I saw Sheeba through to the end. Adopted, the debonair and often absent owners could not pin down her age, but she was about 107 years young.

When I figure out how to make a 2D game work I shall complete it.

Jumping in head first by designing a natural object like a tree pretty much personified the naïvety of my approach, but after that ordeal every other graphic was so much easier to design.

The restriction of just sixteen colours really tested my creativity, yet they all managed to fit together uniquely for each season.

I think most remember the repetitive nature of animations from our gaming youth, so I was determined to make my artwork as unique as time would allow.

n.b. as the Fennel preserve demonstrates, with only sixteen colours, there are limitations

The plant patches designed to be defended would be one of the main visual elements and thus should realistically break down.

With three protection levels, over the exposed default, it one of many mechanics the user must consider when spreading their resources.

The game cycles between the four recognisable seasons that we experience here in the west of the northern hemisphere, keeping track of the years.

Naturally, vegetables are seasonal, even garden specific, with all four seasons fetching all manner of plant life after a full year.

In order to progress, a combination of both fresh vegetables and pulped chutneys will open up new areas and tools when bartering with others, leaving the player to take the risk with their perishables.

The currency of the game is the plant life that you saved from being destroyed: whether traded fresh or pulped into a chutney for storage, ready to be traded out of season.

Chutney will keep for a long time and each complete annual cycle will mature, gaining in value on the open market (blue cap, to red, to gold).

The adverts section of the local paper is where gardeners look for new work. However, these jobs require specific tools and relationships gained from experience and trading.

They, in turn, will offer new tools and plant life, of which can be traded.

Before Covid I was literally a glorified cat-sitter for a muddled creature with no name. As we got to know one another I christened her Sheeba, after her haughty behaviour.

However, she was a struggling, neglected shadow of her former self by the time we met. Uninterested in food and too afraid to go out, in fact the neighbouring cats would eat her food for her - the countryside is an unforgiving place.

I had to chase them away and make her work for her food, to build up her muscles and reignite the sense of reward that she would understand : just as she would fetch rabbits for herself when she could, only leaving the shit-sack and ears.

This project is where I cut my teeth learning to program in Swift. It was to just be a simple game, but I learnt that there is no such thing !

The game hinges around a gardener for hire, warding off animals to protect the plant life, which is then pulped into a chutney to pay him.

I must have made eight games, having restarted so many times, until I hit the wall : the gameplay wasn’t fun :(

So, after creating a codebase for the game mechanics and a lot of animated artwork, the game was put on ice. I had a new job in London, Covid was over and I had to move on.

I saw Sheeba through to the end. Adopted, the debonair and often absent owners could not pin down her age, but she was about 107 years young.

When I figure out how to make a 2D game work I shall complete it.

Jumping in head first by designing a natural object like a tree pretty much personified the naïvety of my approach, but after that ordeal every other graphic was so much easier to design.

The plant patches designed to be defended would be one of the main visual elements and thus should realistically break down.

With three protection levels, over the exposed default, it one of many mechanics the user must consider when spreading their resources.

The game cycles between the four recognisable seasons that we experience here in the west of the northern hemisphere, keeping track of the years.

Naturally, vegetables are seasonal, even garden specific, with all four seasons fetching all manner of plant life after a full year.

In order to progress, a combination of both fresh vegetables and pulped chutneys will open up new areas and tools when bartering with others, leaving the player to take the risk with their perishables.
