Enjoy the serene Capybara Village

Go on explorations to find items

Sell items to local shops

Buy / find new costumes for your capybara

Buy / find new furniture for your home

I did not even come close to implementing all of my ideas within the 3 days of the game jam. Here are a couple of things I might change / add in the future:

Completely different story: Your grandmother told you about the beautiful village she lived in as a child. After she passed away you want to visit the village, but find it deserted and in ruins. So you decide to rebuild the village. Rebuilding the village requires the items you find on explorations.

Allowing to meet new capybaras on your explorations and to invite them to your village. With new villagers new features are unlocked.

Making explorations more challenging

Building a proper shop system that lets you select which items to sell

Changing up the stock of the shops in the village from time to time

Adding a cute little card game you can play with your villagers

Creating a larger variety of areas to explore with new items to find

Farming

Adding a day/night cycle

Potentially adding seasons (?)

Maybe adding different weather (???)

More outfits, even full-body costumes

More furniture, even some with functionality (play music on a jukebox, play games on an arcade machine, ...)

An original soundtrack

More soundeffects

Obviously fixing all bugs and glitches

All artwork and programming w
