Hard work of life: Farming

Introduction
I was gonna make this a single-player map based on harvest moon, but i talked to some people and decided to make it multiplayer. Its a part of a series, wich we dont know the name of yet but so far i like to call it "Hard work of life", wich is different jobs in the real life. A fishing map is also planned so far, but not yet start. Also we hope to make more maps in this series so suggestion for work will be welcomed.

Features

Gameplay:

-8 Players
-Normal mode
-Time attack mode
-Team mode

Normal mode:
This is just a mode where the player with the most score after a amount of time wins, no really more to it!

Time attack mode:
This gets more complicated, here it will be a time limit too. But the time limit is different, here only one player will be eliminated after a certain time, the last man standing wins.

Team Mode:
I am in the planning stage on this mode, so not quite sure how i will have it, and if i will have it in the map at all! Suggestions to this mode is welcomed.


Gathering and money system:
This is a game were you build urself up, you start with nothing, just your bare hands. But there is a forest where you can gather berries, fruits and so on, and sell at the market for a decent price. For the money you can buy seeds or animals, wich gives you vegetables or milk/eggs and so on, wich will give you a higher price at the market. You can build your farm larger if you have gathered/bought enough wood. Sabotaging the other players farm is possible, this can be done by poisoning their animals or other methods, but there might be a down-side to it (PS. Sabotaging is in the idea stage and might not be in the game).


Shopping system:
There will be many stores, one for buying animals and their accesories. One for buying the farming tools that are needed, seeds is buy-able in the super marked. There will also be a auction house were only a few special items that is not sold any other places will be sold. Only a few auctions will be going at game-time, and players will be noticed when there are auctions there.

Winning the game:
You win the game by simply having the most score. Score is gathered by each (lets say 1000 gold for now), and also for each quest you complete, if you fail a quest you might loose score. I will come back to quests later!

It would be cool to have a freeplay mode, where you can play forever and just expand on your farm and stuff and have a save code for your farm that you can only use in freeplay mode.

I personally think that freeplay would be rather boring, because you have done everything in the game after a certain amount of time!

Hum. Team Mode should be like in Normal Mode, but players works in teams of two and will have combined scores. You'll have to work with your partner. Best teams wins.

You could also add upgradable items.

Diplomacy mode :)

Just make them able to ally whoever they want.

And about the freeplay it would get boring after a while but it would also make it alot easier for noobs. Plus having the option of it would be nice anyway.

diplomacy mode doesnt sound too good, well yeah i could add freeplay but doubt too many would play. And for team mode: thats the way i planned it :D

Sabotaging would be great, but you should be able to hire guards to protect your farm.

*Sigh* Why aren't you continuing your other idea? Single-player would be much better, I don't see why everyone wants to make things multiplayer these days. This could have been a revolutionary map. And "After talking to some people", who did you talk to? PLEASE go back to your old idea, it was much better.

I would like to make it multiplayer because more people takes interest in thoose, it seems at least. And i like the idea of multiplayer maps much better.

As for the sabotaging i think there will be a vote if sabotage is able to do or not (in-game this is) and for hiring guards, dont like the idea, srry

Diplomacy opens so many more options though... And theres a big following for diplomacy games..... Might get a few more fans... and in the ends thats what counts.

Cant hurt too have it too thou, because if people like it then then can just vote for it, if they dont they wont vote. Ill look into it! And thanks again for great ideas guys. Im just waiting for the terrainer to begin, ill update with screenshot frequently and hope ill get done in 1-2 months, depends on my real-life too thou.

Looking for some models and such, very easy ones. So if anyone is interested post here. I need mostly for vegetables and such. And someone to make icons for the seed would be helpful too!

Y not have a "Destruction Mode" Score points for destroying structures, and the ability to build attack towers (but the farmer needs to be in the towers for it to attack? Depends on the kinda game u want it to be.... or well

BTW: U need skins/models? yet in sig it says they 100%?

Edit: Wat colour seed ya want?

He has all ideas ready to :P

I kinda need seed icons only, but vegetable models and skins i really need, tomato, potao, everyone i have listed in my first thread, i got pumpkin, but the others i need! Also in need of icons to them. And i was planning on making this a peaceful game, but i see what it turns out to be in the end. At least i will be making the basics to start with and then in later patches i add more!

Ok... but wat colour seeds?!?!?!
