Grow your own bonsai garden as an Apprentice of this ancient art.

This workshop was made for the Godot Wild Jam #85

 (https://itch.io/jam/godot-wild-jam-85)

Grow your trees and prune them to stop the expansion and shape them however you want. Bonsais are procedurally generated, so you will never have the same bonsai twice. Decorate your Workshop as you like and  leave a comment with a screenshot of your bonsais and workshop setup. it would make me happy to see your creations! 

It is actually just a demo of what I had in mind, but, this is all I could do by now (the plan is to make a full game out of it if you guys like it), so comments, suggestions and constructive criticism is more than welcome!

-Try to not overgrow your bonsais, with no pruning. too many lines being rendered may cause the game to break-

Functionalities such as saving the game, and undo when you place and object or you prune a tree are coming in the next update!! sorry I couldn't deliver those ones!

All the cozy art was made by @andresmartink

Este taller se hizo para la Godot WIld Jam #85

(https://itch.io/jam/godot-wild-jam-85)

Haz crecer tus bonsais y pódales para frenar la expansión y darles la forma que quieras. Los bonsais se generan proceduralmente, así que nunca habrá dos iguales. Decora tu taller como te guste y deja un comentario con una captura de pantalla de tus bonsais o del setup de tu taller.

Considero que solo es una demo de lo que tenía en mente, pero esto es todo lo que he podido hacer por ahora (el plan es hacer un juego completo con esto si os gusta!) así que, comentarios, sugerencias y crítica constructiva es más que bienvenida!

Todo el arte ha sido hecho por @andresmartink
La música y el sonido lo he hecho todo a mano y con mucho amor.

Nos vemos en los arcades!!

I have looked for a good bonsai game for a long time and this was super fun and I loved seeing the execution! A couple of notes: the pruning tool targeting was a bit off and I got frustrated when I pruned a branch that I wanted to keep. Perhaps an indicator showing which branch would be cut? Also, I found it difficult to keep the tree small. Overall - loved the vibe and it's very satisfying to see what you can make!

Thank you so much for your comment!

You're torally right, pruning should be more precise and we should have an indicator for what will be pruned, most of time for the jam i spent in prototyping the growth and I couldn't go further, and even so, the systen needs to be polished! Hahaha.

 I will keep an eye on that difficulty to keep it smal too, thanks a lot for your feedback.

I'd be very happy to see you back when we fix and improve this little experiment! :)
