Hey future mowing masters! I wanted to share a bit more about one of the core loops for Master of the Mow, Trinkets. While mowing the overgrown grounds of the manor, you will frequently uncover little objects shining in the distance. Trinkets will appear as you clear different areas, popping out from lawns as small rewards for keeping the mower moving.
(Sometimes mundane, sometimes shiny, but everything has value!)
Trinkets come in different tier values, with higher-value finds appearing as you make your way onto the property. Early areas may reveal more common items, while deeper parts of the property can hide rarer discoveries worth more when sold.
(Learning where specific trinkets tend to appear can make a day in a certain region become highly profitable.)
(Scanning the Area can sometimes reveal treasure troves of trinkets that have appeared while mowing.)
There are also plenty of nooks and crannies tucked away across the manor for players who like to explore for rarer trinkets and valuables. Some may be hidden off the beaten path, or behind locked doors. Or maybe you just stumble across wads of cash.
There will be quite a few more trinkets to discover in the final game of course, but what would you like to see pop out while mowing?
And just a reminder that the first playtest is almost ready to be shared (hopefully), so stay tuned as I'll be posting here first about it.
Cheers,
David
