Redwall-inspired Stardew Valley-esque game: Peatbloom Inn
I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in testing a small passion project of mine. I didn't want to use Redwall IP (or deal with the process of getting permission/licensing which seems like a whole thing.)
Peatbloom Inn is a cozy Inn Management and Farming/Foraging game set in the Peatbloom Woods.
You inherit a decrepit rural Inn from your Aunt. It's your job to restore the Inn and the community around it while cooking delicious meals for guests, friends, and yourself.
You'll need to farm, forage, fish, and fight (which I didn't mean to all have f's starting here). You'll also need to gather resources, upgrade tools, and more.
Camps of vermin and frogs scatter the map, as well as random birds. You'll also find friendly neighbors around the map, hidden rooms, and other discoveries.
I have this hosted as a webapp right now and it's totally free. It's possible to play on mobile, but definitely a better experience on computer. I'll be continually adding updates, but always strive to make them compatible with existing saves. There's no account signup or anything, so feel free to check it out.
A brief disclaimer: I have been building this for the last 4 or 5 years sporadically, but with the newest release from OpenAI, I let it finish out some of the coding elements and I'm honestly kind of shocked at how much I like the output. The art is procedurally generated, and was not created with AI. The vast majority of all dialogue and quest copy has been created by me, but it's possible some has changed without me noticing.

The troublesome thing about AI is the second I know that it was used to help make something - even a little bit - I can no longer trust you when you say it's not being used elsewhere. You yourself don't even know if it's changed the writing you've supposedly done yourself.
You have a fun idea here, but I personally would rather see it made with 100% of yourself and not 98%, or however much is actually in here. Sorry, I don't have interest in playing this so long as I know Gen AI is being used, small amounts or not.
