7 days of making a cozy game with no dev experience. Still no name but I made a cute trailer

😭

**Story**: You move in to your new town, forage some berries, brew your first drink, help a neighbor find her lost rock named Doris. real cozy stuff...then you eat the wrong mushroom and things get weird. Find a rocket ship, meet aliens on another planet and bring back space ingredients for brews that shouldnt exist. it escalates lmao

**Loop**: Forage, brew, explore, quest. gather ingredients out in the world, brew recipes at home, do favors for neighbors, go on little adventures. theres mushrooms scattered around and some of them make you trip when you eat them. eat them all to find out lol. you can also buy materials, find new recipes by combining stuff from different biomes to make rarer brews, and expand your backyard.

**World**: the meadow connects through a cave system to a beach town and a snowy mountain village. each zone has its own npcs, shops, music and ingredients. stuff from one zone is worth more in another so theres always a reason to go back and forth.

**most recent additions**: day/night cycle and an original soundtrack (the trailer uses music from the game, made with GPT Astra). next up is energy and ground jiggle. everything will be blobby and jiggle!!

quick FAQ since i keep getting the same questions and can't answer them all:

* **Assets:** all AI. claude writes prompts → gemini makes 2D watercolor images → meshy turns them into 3D models → claude cleans them up in blender → unity
* **Animation**:the floppy arms? claude auto-rigged the characters in blender and the arms are spring bones in unity that lag and flop as you walk. i just describe motions in plain english like
