Each crop now has a type. Some crops now interact with certain crop types.
Currently working on adding bonuses when having multiple of the same type. This is not yet done though.
Check out the crop types:

Full list of new crop types:

New crops added!

  • Blueberry
  • Dragonfruit

New mechanic: Freeze.

When slowing a target who is already slowed, the target will be frozen for 3s (it can't do anything while frozen).

Balancing and changes:

🟡 Mushroom: Name changed to Redcap. //Dev comment: Same reasoning as Chili rename to Cayenne. I don't want crops to have "general" names now that there are crop types in the game. This should be the last rename of older crops though.
🟢Cabbage: Ability changed to "+4HP per adjacent Root".
🟢Corn: Ability changed to "+2DMG per 3 adjacent Grain".
🟢Eggplant: Ability changed to "unlimited range if touching Nut".
🟢Carrot: Ability changed to "+3HP per adjacent Leafy".
🟢Lemon: Ability changed to: "+1 DMG if touching Exotic"
🟡 Grapes: 0.52 attackspeed --> 0.33 attackspeed | 2 DMG --> 3 DMG //Dev comment: the new freeze mechanic is an interesting addition to grapes. To balance it out, it now has lower attack speed and 1 extra dps.
🟢Broccoli: Projectile volley radius slightly lowered.
🔴Orange: No longer slows.
🟢Pumpkin: 11HP --> 12HP.

Other:

  • The number of crops you can buy in the demo of the game increased to 5 from 4.
  • A few new animations added when planting crops that buff adjacent crops.

Fixes:

  • The new music in the game has been made a bit louder. It was rather low by mistake.
  • Hopefully fixed a bug where cherry was immune to knockback while it was attacking.

Expect more balancing to be made in the coming week.

Scheduled crops:
* Hazelnut
* Chantarelle
* Ghost Pepper
* Wheat

Well met, cropsters.
