Hard to judge gameplay by reading a list. Got a demo map?

even with all those features the demo is far from ready not playable yet.

edit

This map is about a living in an ever growing world that has lots of dangers the main part of this map is farming but you can get over jobs instead of a farmer if you really wanted something different. There is a god approval rating that will go up and down depending on what you do in the map. You can gain the respect of all of the different gods in this game for example if you live outside the village you can attack them and get gold from it the village will turn against you but you will gain the favour of the god Aszuah if you attack it more and more times Aszuahs demons will stop attacking you and if you carry on that god might make a overlord witch will let you control the demons by telling them what to do. welcome to the land of Azarun a land of great mystery. no one has been able to see much of the land thanks to the ever growing breeds hostile creatures that inhabit Azarun. apart from this the land of Azarun is a rich and fertile land that may prosper under the watchful eye of the gods.
but there are many dangers that may happen in an unpredictable changing and world the god Aszuah made most of these troubles by allowing her demons to leave there home world and entering this one. there are only a handful of gods that help the human civilianisation some even take on forms to aid the humans in there fight to survive.

You actually need to describe the map.

Im adding a description of the list i put down.

cooking system lets you cook lots of different things there is only 6 recipes at the moment.

new and improved livestock system and a.i means you don’t control your animals directly but you can do stuff to move them by picking up chickens or using special items to tell the bigger livestock what to do.

new dog a.i lets teach your dog what to do using a special teaching rod.

friend system allows you to make friends by giving them stuff that they like they will send you gifts if they are your friends on your set birthday date or even teach you new things and unlock new areas.

unique co operation between every unit in the map means that if one villager wants something done he can ask or pay an over villager to do it for him if he is already doing something else. This is also good for when your village starts to grow and builds its own training centre for defence or offence which every guard or solder can communicate to tell each over what they have seen and week points in a defence or even monsters attacking the village. The villagers them self’s can make friends and enemies with each over this means you as well. Monsters can do basically the same thing. This makes the world more alive with things constantly going on.


crop watering system using a watering can that needs to be filed up once the waters gone from it plants will die if not water regularly.

marriage system lets you marry a women if you’re a man or a man if you’re a women you have to get there friendship level to the max and once you marry they gain a new friendship system based on your marriage. They will also help you depending on what your job is and there happiness.

fishing system were in order to catch a fish you have to fined one and target it if you have bait in your second inventory slot depending on which bait it is it will be easier to catch that fish. Each fish likes a different sort of bait. You will need a fishing rod in order to catch one.

intelligent animals means that one animal of the same group can help an over in many wais in order to survive. Example if one member of the group is starving then an over able member of the same group will go hunt or find some food for that member.

a living world were new things are always happening things can grow and die like trees animals and people. The averment can change depending on the seasons like snowing or the chances that it will rain and there are changes not depending on the averment like new species of animal or monsters appearing forest dying and growing some monster that start there own tribe and become smarter things like that.

animated houses that you can walk into some have two floors. Using some of each of the animated house downloaded of this site.

This will be single player but there will be a save and load code that will allow you to enter competitions with your friends.

You can pick from male or female characters.

cat dog or tortoise? each have different purposes. The dogs can be told to do stuff and you can teach it stuff as well. The cat will chase away mice that will eat your crops and can bring you back seeds that you cant buy. The tortoise can hunts for fish and can eat bugs so you don’t have to feed it most of the time. Dog food cost the most then cats then tortoises.
Or you can make your own food for them.

weaver system is baste of the seasons example in summer it hardly rains in winter it almost always snows.

npcs need food to live and will act on what they need. There needs can be a lot of things like entertainment food or work. Different types of people have different typed of needs.

you don’t have to be a farmer if you really don’t want to be there are over jobs two. Over jobs include shop owner which you will have to buy stuff from the local farms then sell them to the villagers that go to your shop. Adventurer is a job that lets you defend you village or attack the enemies or just explore the huge world that’s constantly changing. More to come.

Unique monster fighting system only use items to fight like a hunter gun or even a pitchfork.

shipping system changes with your job if you’re a farmer you put it in the shipment area
If you own a shop the villagers can buy your stock.

lots of mini games like festivals or quest puzzle mini game.

god rating system this allows you to gain the favour of the gods by sacrificing things at there temple or doing quests for them and much more can be done to gain favour of the gods.

lots of job upgrade depending on the job you have. If you’re a farmer you can get a makers room or a milking room and more. If you own a shop you can expand it or hire workers and more.

choose to start with an a.i partner at the start of the game or you can go it alone.
I recommend you start with the a. partner because if you don’t like him you can just dismiss him. He has his own unique friendship system as well.

Maybe add skills like my over map Sigmund’s 2 player farming map like making animal food and that sort of thing. Skills go up as you so the things they are attached to like cutting trees down or milking cows. You get better at them as you go along

Man, that could get boring on single player. You should make it so that it is intended for LAN use i.e. 2, 3 or 4 players. Otherwise, nifty harvest-moon like idea.

Well there will probibly be 2 players as an option which im trying to add now.
there will be different things to start with at the beginning example you can start with the same job helping each over or rival each over?
also there will be a unique shop system were the players deliver there goods to the market were it can be sold to over npcs by an over player or npc. same with all jobs really. you can only buy what over players or npcs have delivered to the market.
There is also a unique war system for pvp combat.

War system? That might spoil it a little. Try to come up with something non-aggressive but still competitive.

The war system is a fight that you can recruit npcs that have high friendship points to help you with.
It doesn’t have to be a fight you can poison there food kill there animals murder family members.
But this will be extremely hard to do since you have to be an enemy first in diplomat and if you enter there land they can go and get the gourds to arrest the trespasser. If you have friendly npcs nearby with a high friendship points they will ever try to fight that player or call the guards. If you pick the first option then it has to be done in an arena or on your land. This is completely optional at the beginning of the map were you set the options
