It took quite a while, but it’s finally out. Fully free, no ads, no in-app purchases (besides a “Support the developer” option), no data collection and fully offline playable. All you need is your phone and GPS :)
I originally made the game to go on walks, unfortunately I sat even more in front of my PC to develop it. It is what it is. Hopefully it motivates some of you to get your steps in 💚
General idea of the game: Collect ingredients, brew them into potions and sell them to merchants. With the gold and reputation you get you can buy things and decorate your neighborhood. Other players see the same map and resources (so you can indirectly play together), but the game world fully belongs to you (singleplayer only).
General roadmap right now:
- Adding achievements
- Adding buildings you can improve over time (tavern to attract merchants and an ingredient tree you need to grow)
- More minigames and improving the existing ones
- And of course bugfixes, please let me know if you run into issues :)
For any questions and suggestions I’m always available!
Do you still have to use Objective C? They’ve been trying to get everyone to use Swift for nearly a decade now and Swift is a MUCH nicer language, but I have no idea about game dev in particular, since I’ve only done crappy little apps.
I’m outside the macos ecosystem. so probably?
Eh, did some research and it turns out you have no need for Objective C using any of the mainstream game engines (Unreal, Unity, Godot) and in general you only need it when working with old frameworks. I’d wager that pretty much anyone who started iOS dev in the last 5 years hasn’t even touched objective C except when working on legacy apps.
