Harvest Hustle

Inspiration

Inspired by the joy of farming simulations and strategy games, Harvest Hustle combines time management and resource optimization, challenging players to grow a successful farm under pressure.

What it does

Harvest Hustle allows players to plant, water, and harvest crops, aiming to sell them for maximum profit within limited time frames. Players must strategically balance actions to build the most efficient farm possible.

How we built it

We built Harvest Hustle in Unity, focusing on smooth mechanics for planting, watering, and harvesting. Visual assets and animations were crafted to capture a charming, engaging farm atmosphere.

Challenges we ran into

We faced challenges scripting the interactive pick-up system to work seamlessly and spent considerable time refining the gameplay cycle to ensure it felt smooth and engaging for players.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud to have created most of our own assets, giving Harvest Hustle a unique style. We also developed a smooth pick-up and drop-off system, making interactions within the game world feel intuitive and satisfying.

What we learned

We learned a lot about optimizing Unity performance, creating efficient scripts for player actions, and balancing gameplay to enhance player experience.

What's next for Harvest Hustle

We are adding an item shop where players can purchase farm expansions, new crop types, and unique sceneries to enhance their experience. Future updates will offer fresh challenges and vibrant landscapes to explore!
