## Brainstorming
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Every player starts out with a bag of seeds and one acre of land
|
|
|
|
* Seeds take some amount of time to grow
|
|
|
|
* At any point, a player can decide to harvest the crops
|
|
|
|
* Harvesting will yield a multiplied amount of seeds and some crops
|
|
|
|
* He can trade crops and seeds at the market
|
|
|
|
* Market is regulated by players
|
|
|
|
* Crops need water to grow
|
|
|
|
* There are different kind of crops. Some grow fast and some slow. Some yield
|
|
|
|
more than others
|
|
|
|
* Weather can influence the growth
|
|
|
|
* Players can buy land
|
|
|
|
* A field has properties: growth rate and size in acres
|
|
|
|
* Seeds take up space on a field
|
|
|
|
* Mystery seeds are seeds of an unknown kind
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Roadmap
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### MVP
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Registration/login on the platform using a client certificate
|
|
|
|
* A new user receives a farm, a bag of wheat seeds and 1 acre of land
|
|
|
|
* The main page shows a random message, your current balance, a link to the
|
|
|
|
market, your inventory and a list of your fields
|
|
|
|
* The inventory shows your seeds. When clicking an item, you can select to sell
|
|
|
|
it, plant it or throw it away
|
|
|
|
* A seed that has been planted grows for 24 hours. It goes through 4 phases:
|
|
|
|
seed, seedling, young crop, ready for harvesting
|
|
|
|
* When a seed is harvested that is not ready, it will be discarded. When it's
|
|
|
|
ready, it will yield 2 wheat seeds and 4 wheat
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### The market
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The market offers the following products:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1 bag of wheat seeds (0.1 acres): 2 gems buy, 1 gems sell
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1 wheat: 10 gems buy, 8 gems sell
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1 acre field: 100 gems buy, 80 gems sell
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2 acre field: 150 gems buy, 100 gems sell
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Other kinds of seeds
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Bamboo (grows fast, cheap, low yield)
|
|
|
|
* Potatoes (grows averagely, reasonably priced, high yield)
|
|
|
|
* Corn
|
|
|
|
* Melons

|
### Plant Care
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Plants need water (some more than others)
|
|
|
|
* The market offers fertilizer that boost plant growth
|
|
|
|
* Weather affects plant growth (sunshine, cloudy, rain)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Community
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Players can place buy/sell orders on a market
|
|
|
|
* Every item has its own overview, containing all orders
|
|
|
|
* If the price of a buy order is above that of the highest sell order, the item
|
|
|
|
is traded
|
|
|
|
* Buy/Sell orders can be fulfilled directly
|
|
|
|
* A leaderboard shows the players with the most money or acres
