| Only 2 days left! | 2025-05-26 | Today, I wanted to talk to you about my favorite feature to design, animate, write, and code in Seeds of Calamity. I had a lot of fun designing the combat for this game. I’ve been so glad that the reception for the combat has been positive! It was a lot of work but I’m really happy with the results. Turn based combat is like a puzzle. I wanted each battle to be a new challenge for you to “solve”. I tried to make each enemy feel unique or at least present a new challenge. My favorite animations by far are the baby farm animals. They are just so cute and making all the unique idle animations for them was fun. The fox spirits Rion and Tion are m |
| Only 3 days left! | 2025-05-25 | I can’t believe there's only 3 days left until the release of Seeds of Calamity. It’s been almost exactly 5 years since this game was just an idea in my head. I’m a web developer for my day job and often had the passing thought that it would be cool to make a video game. When I decided to take the plunge and get serious about designing one of my own, I wanted to make a game similar to my favorite game: Stardew Valley. But I also wanted to draw inspiration from other games that I love such as Hades, Zelda, and Pokémon. This entire adventure has been both the most creatively rewarding project I’ve ever taken on while also being the most challen |

Unlock the Spinning Wheel to process animal products. Combat Update: Unlock the Challenge Dungeon with Erik. Final tier of combat elixirs. Village Update: Yri and Tonna’s final story quest. Unlock the Challenge altar in the village Shrine. More seasonal quests. Farm Update: More crops. Bombs to help remove items on your farm. E |
| Only 7 days left! | 2025-05-21 | So, what can you expect from Seeds of Calamity in Early Access? Never fear! I have been working for years to put as much content into the game as possible.
