What it does for your game

  • No blank project to wire up: Tilling, watering, growth, the day clock, the seed shop and saving already work, so you start from a playable farm and skip the days of wiring.
  • Picture your first morning: You press F5, till a row, plant carrots and water them, then sleep in the barn and wake to find them a stage taller.
  • Save, shop and day clock included: A Godot 4 project (4.7 or newer) with 4 crops, a 47-tile soil autotile, a hotbar, keyboard, mouse and gamepad, with art, music and sounds included.

Licence in one line: the code is MIT; the art may be used in your own games, free or commercial, but not shared or sold as art or as a starter kit.

What you get

  • A farmer who walks in 4 directions and uses a hoe, a watering can and seeds, each with its own animation (from the Farm RPG pack's 27 animations).
  • A fenced field where tilled soil joins up by itself (a 47-tile autotile), with a dry and a watered look for the soil and for every crop.
  • 4 crops (carrot, turnip, potato, strawberry) that grow one stage per watered morning; a crop left dry for 3 days withers and the hoe clears it.
  • A day clock from 6:00 to midnight with sunset and night light; sleep in the barn or fall asleep in the field.
  • A hotbar, a shipping bin that pays the next morning, coins and a seed shop.
  • Save and load (every morning, and from the pause menu), a main menu with Continue, a pause menu.
  • Keyboard, mouse and gamepad, pixel-perfect scaling (640x360 base resolution), music and sound effects.

Made to be changed

  • Short scripts with comments that say what to change: items and crops in one file, the day length and prices as constants.
  • The map is painted with TileMapLayers in the editor; the TileSet's terrains paint soil, paths and water, and fences and water have collision.
  • A README with the controls, how the project is organised and 5 first changes to make it yours (add a crop, change the pace, grow the field, add a tool, add seasons or a farmhouse).

What it does not include

No seasons, animals, fishing, villagers or farmhouse interior: those are in the Farm RPG pack, ready for you to add. Godot 4.7 or newer is needed (made with 4.7.2, Compatibility renderer). The art is licensed for games made with this project; to use the packs elsewhere, get the packs.

Your game, looking finished

Every Gridwright asset pack, made to fit together, and all 31 tools for the fiddly work, with every new release, for $17 a month. Try it in your own game first: 3 days for $1, cancel any time.
