The Melon Bloom

A Good Day to Pie is a game with a lot of digging and resource gathering. As you spend time mulling about the depths of the world, the game will become harder and harder. I like to try to keep things fresh and come up with different ways to challenge the player and keep them on their toes, so I tried to come up with an enemy design that would, as time progresses, slowly build up a presence in the world and acquire power.

The Melon Bloom will announce its invasion with an on-screen message and spawn somewhere underground. Its goal is to chew up your world and use the resources it finds to build an overwhelming army! It specifically targets high-essence resources, which means it will eat ore, essence nodes, and even Gremlins. Eventually, the Melon Bloom will go on the offensive and join its minions in war for a climactic battle against the player and their base. Killing the Melon Bloom will unlock Melonite recipes and gear - the strongest in the game so far!

Other News

It's taken a lot of my time to develop this game and it doesn't exactly put food on the table, so I've finally caved and opened a Ko-Fi page. I want the eventual final release of A Good Day to Pie to be free on itch and maybe a dollar on steam or something. I dunno. Anyway, if you're interested in the future of A Good Day to Pie, please consider supporting me on Ko-Fi! Anything would be greatly appreciated.
