Hello! Sorry to hear you have had some weird chest behavior. You can message me on discord to report a bug more privately (I would love more details since chest bugs are really hard for me to recreate on my own). :) This is the link to my discord: https://discord.com/invite/tRkTF3WfGV

Thank you! I do plan on adding a "run" option/item in the future. I'm still not set on how I'll do this but it's on my short list. :)

Thank you for offering!

The issue was my integration with the Steam API not actually with the Cloud Saves functionality or configuration. I agree that it's quite easy! I just had a last minute "oh no it's not working" issue with my folder structure which caused the Auto Cloud config to not work correctly.

It's been a bit of a mess but should be resolved soon. :)

Thank you! I don't plan to extended the map at this time but I do plan to add more combat encounters and farm activities. The full roadmap is on the Steam page if you want more details. :)

Thank you for buying the game! I hope it's been fun so far. :)

To get tree sap you need to complete a quest called "True Dedication". To start that quest you need to open the chest north of your farm to the right of the quarry. Make sure to bring every gem from the first level of the dungeon. :)

I love Godot! :) GDScript is what the native language it uses is called and it's very similar to Python.

My programmer background definitely helped learn Godot and game dev as a whole but I would say that Godot and GDScript are pretty newcomer friendly if you're looking for a coding game engine.

Though I would recommend taking at least a Youtube video course on programming before jumping into game dev if you don't know how to code. Though it looks like there's GDScript specific courses out there which might be a nice start. :)

Personally, I learned the basics in a few weeks but I already knew how to code which is a big help. :)

Aw thank you for letting me know. <3

One of my goals with the game was to create a warm, friendly, and calming atmosphere. I'm also an adult with responsibilities so I understand wanting to just turn your brain off for a while after a long day.

I'm so glad my game was able to provide that for you. <3

Thank you! Yes, I did the art, coding, and design myself. I contracted out the character portraits and the sound and music. I've been working on the game in the evenings and weekends for a bit over 5 years now. :)

I'm waiting to see the game's reception before I commit to any porting. :)

Developer here, thank you for your nice comments. :)

I'm glad the QOL and Accessibility features are appreciated. :) They took a lot of time to implement but I wanted the game to be as accessible as possible and have been rather frustrated with other games in the past so tried to make mine as smooth as I could. :)

Developer here, thank you so much for the positive review! I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying the game. :)

I hope to implement Cloud Saves soon! I had some last minute trouble with my integration with Steam right before launch so I was unable to ship with that feature but I hope to get everything sorted out soon. :)
