I scored my hand-drawn camp a 5.7 when I held it up against screenshots of a farm game that sold well. Then I switched the whole thing to toy-looking 3D and the score went down to 5.2, which is worse than where I started.

It took four rounds to get it to 6.8 and then 7.7. The biggest fix was a dumb one. Empty farm plots looked like holes dug in the ground, so I filled them with grass blades and tiny flowers

It's free in the browser if anyone wants to look. Do the empty plots still look like holes to you?

five hearts and a guest just stays. that's the part i built everything else around

you set up a little camp in the woods and animals come by. cook for them, and once one fills its fifth heart it moves into the camp for good. there are 12 kinds of animal guests and 16 dishes, each with its own name. seasons turn over every 7 days

it plays in the itch page, nothing to download. i made it
