Dead Pine Village

Dead Pine Village is a unique fusion of third-person shooter and farming simulation with a monstrous twist. In this world, you plant seeds that grow into various types of creatures—each with distinct abilities and traits. Nurture these creatures until they’re fully matured, then brace yourself as you release a horde into your once-peaceful farm. As the farmer, it’s your job to defend against the rampaging monsters, shooting them down to survive and collect valuable loot.

Every creature defeated leaves behind unique rewards. Use your loot wisely: upgrade your weapons, enhance your farm, sell it for more seeds, or invest in rebuilding the village. The choice is yours, and each decision shapes the future of Dead Pine Village.

This game began as a two-semester university project and has since grown into a full-fledged development journey, evolving with each step.
