RMMZ Lightestone: A 2D Farm Sim with Dragons!

[Riazey]

INTRODUCTION


Lightestone is a 2D Farming sim game where you get to raise your very own dragons!
It is still in its early stages of development but we have a pre-alpha with some of the farming mechanics and early graphics already available for sign-up through our discord!
We host streams on twitch which mainly consist of drawing the game assets in realtime
and have a twitter feed where we regularly update our progress on the game!

STORY

​

You wake one morning to find your brother, an elite dragon tamer, has disappeared leaving only a letter behind. In your search for him you get yourself transported into another world, one where humans and dragons are at war with one another. To make matters worse, a new faction of dark, shadowy creatures has seemingly arrived ahead of you, fueling the fued.

As an apprentice dragon tamer you find yourself spurred to help those in need as you search for clues and care for your new draconic friends in this mysterious world. Nurture a bond between dragon and those living at the foot of the mountain while helping them rebuild their forgotten town. And of course, don't forget to delve into a few keeps: scattered, puzzle-filled dungeons, along the way!​

BUILDING A HOME


> Start with nothing but an overgrown field and turn it into a home for you and your dragons!
> Upgrade your tools and buildings, expand your farm, and recreate inventions from your own world using Draconic Tech.
> Recruit new townsfolk, build them a place to stay, and teach them how to live alongside their new companions.

> While your dragons will feed themselves they benefit from getting a healthy snack and a good brushing each day!
> Breed your dragons, maybe even discover some incredibly rare species!
> Take your tamed dragons with you to help you solve puzzles and uncover secrets within the world!

> ...And much much more!






Available on Windows.

While your dragons will feed themselves they benefit from getting a healthy snack and a good brushing each day!

This sounds really ominous... But hey, altho I'm totally not into farming games, this looks really sweet!

Game looks really cute and charming! I dig it! As an aside: while I respect the aesthetic, the text unfortunately is unreadable when using the dark forum theme.

@alice_gristle
Thanks so much! xD Glad to hear it looks good to people outside the genre <3


@Biestmann
Thank-you! Definitely the feel we're going for! And thanks for the tip, I went ahead and changed the text color, I was unaware it would auto change from the blue in the editor!

Game-Update:
We made some beautiful new orange trees and blueberry bushes! Alongside them are new seasonal variants of the common tree! And then we struggled to implement them properly because I mistook my incredibly bad luck as the rare orange spawns not working *sobs* It's not my fault that a 50% spawn rate equaled a 1% spawn rate for me okay!

Game-Update:

We have officially moved out of our test farm and have begun work on the actual farm layout for the game! It still needs a lot of work but we are getting there one step at a time!
That being said, yesterday we animated waterfall tiles for our farm you can see in action here!

Even more exciting- we officially have our first NPC sprite! It might just be the front and it might be just one frame- but hey all the npcs aren't mailboxes anymore!

There's another stream on twitch today in about an hour, if you're interested stop by and say hello!
