was bored of my old ui-ish looking dialog/story system so I decided to make it 3d

working on a "dialog" system. You can get visions from anything in the game. A dead bird? A floating rock? Have to be on the lookout

added some physics to this possession/qt boss move

(the boss is still a placeholder until I get some character art in!)

Plants now react to drum sounds! Still wip but already excited about how this is turning out. Big shoutout to
@ghislaingir.bsky.social 's awesome Niagara + Render Target breakdown

the first critter I made for Ancestral Harvest is the Tick.

if you’re not careful, it bites you and steals your energy. But if you’re quick enough you can squash it and get most of your stuff back

I'm really excited to announce that the first Ancestral Harvest playtest is live on Steam!

Help me turn this pre-alpha into the best demo it can be 🪘🌱🌞

experimenting with a rhythm-based system - if you drum to the rhythm of a target's heartbeat, you do extra healing. also added secret drum combo notes you can find around the world

How does breaking vases feel more satisfying?
1: active - drum/roll on the vases to break them.
2: automatic - run over everything

testing out some toxic/oily/radioactive human waste blobs that you can purge with your drum to heal plants nearby

Drum hits in Ancestral Harvest become heavier / change behavior according to how long drum buttons are held for. Some drum hits are defensive, some heal targets. You can chain drum combos together for stat boosts and other spells

This wouldn't truly be a game about drum trances if the transition from main menu to gameplay didn't also have a drum mechanic

My indie game Ancestral Harvest:

A shaman-child wanders through a world destroyed by mankind, seeking a cure for his eternal wound. With the aid of a mystical drum, he must connect with a withering planet and purge the evil that controls humanity.
