Flipy @flipymod.bsky.social · Nov 7

started writing a book because I wanted to create something, I started to love writing these characters, their stories, adventures, struggles, encounters.

The world of Crossing is so dear to me, because Its what I always wanted in books, Alena brings the characters to life.

Thank you!

I've had the joy to do quite a few commissions for @flipymod.bsky.social over the last months (years??) and this is one of them! These are Flipy's own characters, and boy is there a lot of story planned (and already written) about them. Much in store for those poor guys, I tell you.

Oh i COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND

if there is no other way i would why. Once a rode for three days, took the long way around through france and then italy due to how much the delays were in Germany XD

That game could be BRILLIANT

Flipy @flipymod.bsky.social · 9h

Already found 10 people as well

INSAAAAAAANE

Flipy @flipymod.bsky.social · 9h

I stopped using airplanes due to the mess they give, rather be in a train XD

Flipy @flipymod.bsky.social · 9h

The 90 minute delay was by waitinh 30 minutes three times outside of the station, but he was able to see enough time and space on his board to get through.

He was NOT happy. At all

Flipy @flipymod.bsky.social · 1d

The dutch train conductor was really mad why there was a delay

Apparently the system on some larger stations is meant to push the train in front of the que so it can get to its station

Instead it had to wait on everyone else, even IF there was room to get to the station

Flipy @flipymod.bsky.social · 1d

Safely arrived home, 150 minute DELAY

5 hour journey turned 8 hours

I am so tired

Flipy @flipymod.bsky.social · 1d

This made me spit water XD

Flipy @flipymod.bsky.social · 1d

I was stuck in the elevator for like 20 minutes due to an issue

I wore a t-shitt in the same pattern as a local football club

Someone dragged me by the arm thinking i was someone else.they were very excited about a cosplay

Flipy @flipymod.bsky.social · 1d

Hitting me

A waiter dropping glass all over the table

That was fun

The guy that dropped was fine btw.

I talked to an artist on day 2 and after 20 minutes she apologized prefusely thinking i was someone else. Like DAMN IT KEEPS HAPPENING XD

Flipy @flipymod.bsky.social · 1d

So funny things that happed during my Hamburg Polaris stay

During a restaurant visit i forgot how grocery stores would be closed next day

So i ate my food in 10 minutes

Prior to that i was so stressed that i did not even emote when someone fell from their bike right in front if me, barely

Requires a LOT of love. So it makes the animals more special

There is a lot there. I need to think and make a good basis to begin first.

Flipy @flipymod.bsky.social · 1d

Maybe it gets too complicated from here. When i start i will setup an animal type to know how to set it up

This will be a fake non existent animals to check and balance everyone

I will think of how to acquire animals. It should be hard to buy them. But with tasks you can?

Breeding as well as it

Flipy @flipymod.bsky.social · 1d

Crops are grown the sane way as in other farm sims. The difference is you use it to cook for yourself and animals.

You have tasks you get, you should finish them, help the town, people.

Grow animals,

Flipy @flipymod.bsky.social · 1d

Background?

Still happiness, together with health, achievements and food brings products

As a farmer you cant sell your crops sadly, nor should you be able to. The point is to give the crops to your animals to get better produce.

However better produce == less amount

A way to balance it

Flipy @flipymod.bsky.social · 1d

Happens during that process.

This would put a strain on the game so maybe not. So lets keep it with happiness.

This is where the complexity is in the game. What happens with happiness and how to implement it.

Too many checks per frame and it becomes slow

So maybe per hour and run it on the

Flipy @flipymod.bsky.social · 1d

Exponential, so i can later add a better formula.

In a sense, if its gracing in the right area, it would get happier. If in a bad one. Say rain or sand, it gets unhappy.

Happiness has two things. Each day it would reset, so you cant accumulate it.

Second its not the amount you get but what

Flipy @flipymod.bsky.social · 1d

Temp achievement should be there as well

The next is area. Where do they like to go, indoors, outdoors, both?

And what type? Wooden floor, hay, water. Outside, grass, sand, pond.

I would give each animal a list here and randomly give them, in this timeworld like act a number from -3 to 3

This is

Flipy @flipymod.bsky.social · 1d

Animals will have a name, growth. Simple

At a certain growth they are able to produce. Id would make it also has achievements instead. If certain conditions are met for the animal, it can produce certain things better.

Contests, rest, happiness. But also bad ones. Achievements are perm. So maybe

Flipy @flipymod.bsky.social · 1d

Maybe i can already describe the mechanics and code behind it. I still need to wait for 3 more hours

Flipy @flipymod.bsky.social · 1d

Maybe an harvest moon like game

You only grow animals. You can grow crops but thats just for you and the animals

And thats it. Feeding takes time, harvesting, etc. Looking into it.

Like just have 100 chickens, thats it

Or a TON of cows
