Oregon Trail meets Stardew Valley/Harvest Moon

I have been wanting to make a Wild West 2D style farming game.

I am just about finished with GameDev.tv’s C# 2D beginner course. I purchased this course at the same time as the beginner course for this reason.

I am going to start with core combat cause life in the West wasn’t calm and I do want some enemies. I’m going to move through the courses in the recommended order to hopefully obtain the concepts that I want to implement in my main project.

I’m excited for every bit of it! But I’m most excited to learn about the quests and conversation line builders. I would like to eventually implement a moral system (good actions/dialogue v. bad) so I’m hoping that the dialogue system will set a sturdy foundation of understanding on what that would consist of.

This is a pretty cool idea, so you want to bring more survival elements into a farming sim?

Reading your idea I started to get ideas based on old settlers and ranchers, you could get a good number of mechanics out of a fairly simple theme.
