Hello Touch Arcade community! Welcome to our very first devlog about our game in production. We will be updating our blogs twice a week focusing about features of the game and progress reports. The game has been in production for a while now and it was time to start sharing what we have accomplished and what we plan on doing in the future. Seeds of Magic Overview Seeds of Magic is a town and farm simulation RPG with a strong leaning towards dealing with the citizens of the town that will be coming out for iOS, Android and PC. Links Twitter/Website/Facebook Digging in the Dirt or Magical Mining Its been a few weeks since our last update because we have been hammering on a new 'dungeon' building system. We decided that a traditional farm just wasn't right for a wizard. So we decided that the wizard will own a nice tower with plenty of dungeon space underneath for building. Now you get to dig out your own areas, fill them with all the wizard's tools, and will be able to customize it at will. We will make a nice long blog post about that in the future, but for now lets give a progress report. Customizable Dungeon Areas Added areas that the player will be able to dig out using spells. These dungeon areas will become the main areas that the player 'owns'. Once these dungeons are built out, the player will then be able to craft different wall and floor tiles to further customize the look of their dungeons. Indoor Farming Players will be able to craft planter pots that allow them to grow their magical crops indoors. You will start out with a very basic pot which will have to be tended by either you or a golem, but will eventually learn advanced hydroponic planters which will do most of the work for you. Placeable Objects Selecting an object in your inventory will equip the object and allow you to carry it around. You will be able to put it down any valid location. If you don't like where you placed it you will be able to pick it back up and relocate it. Larger objects have bigger footprints so need more open space to place down. Villager Dialogue Working on and adding lots of new dialogue options. Discovered that breaking dialogue into 3 different sections allows for greater variety of conversations and less chance of dialogues repeating. Villagers will have a greeting, body and closing that are all separate from each other and can be mixed and matched as long as the rules align correctly. Thanks for reading!

Yeah, our current plan is premium. It just seems to suit the game play better than F2P. But we do not currently have a price point planned out.
We have a new update. This time we are talking about the basics of farming. We will try to keep the updates coming every Tuesday and Friday. Thanks.
The Friday progress report is up. Please feel free to leave any comments or questions. We will be happy to answer any you might have. Have a great weekend. Thanks.
Dev Blog #2, this time on conversation and NPC interaction. This is a pretty big subject overall so this is just the first of many upcoming blogs on these subjects. Thanks for reading.
Progress Report #3. Talking about expanding conversation content, placing objects in the world, and fixing up camera issues. Thanks for reading.
Dev Blog #3 is up. Talking about character portraits and showing off some of the early sketches for character designs. Enjoy.
Our fourth dev blog is up. This time we decided to deal with just a general overview of the game. Gives a good idea of what is planned.
This looks great so far! Gonna make a note and subscribe so I can come back a bit later to read the progress logs.
Awesome, thanks a lot. Here is a sneak peak for a new more magical type crop that you will be able to grow.
Thanks a lot. We have been working on it for almost a year now and pretty much have all the back end finished. Right now we are working on getting content put in. Our intention is to try to have the game ready by the end of this year or maybe quarter 1 of next. But we will not release it until we feel it is ready. As we move forward we will have a better idea of a release date. Thanks!
