Mothkeeper

I know this game is a bit older, but I found it as I was scrolling through the web page at school, and I have found it really fun! But I'm really stuck on how to open the other eggs (the all white ones, yellow one?). I just have them sitting around and I'm not too sure what to do with them, as I've tried to put them in the incubator but nothing seems to work. 

I dunno how I found this game, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. Aesthetically pleasing, nice music, charming premise. I do have a some critiques - I know the game is from 2022, and unlikely to be updated, but I hope the feedback is useful for future projects.

First and foremost, while the game is clearly meant to be cozy and relaxing, that feeling starts to wear off once you reach a critical threshold of moths. It's nearly impossible to keep them all fed after a certain point. And it made the game stressful. I kept trying to figure out ways to maximize the efficiency of the in-game days, so my moths wouldn't starve. I dunno if they can actually die from not eating for too long, but I didn't want to find out.

So, I feel like there are a couple ways to mitigate this. First, would be to increase the amount of growing space, as well the length of days. More time and space to grow herbs makes it easier to cultivate more moths. Another option would be to allow the release of moths, so you don't have to keep up with the demand of feeding so many. I feel like this maybe could have an additional upside, so it doesn't feel as sad, but IDK what.

Another aspect I didn't like as much is how carrying things works. Being only able to carry one object at a time got tedious after awhile. It would be nice if you could carry more than one. Even if it was just multiple of the same object, it would speed things up a lot, greatly reducing the amount of running back and forth.

Something else that would be nice is a storage unit of some kind. Sometimes I end up with more seeds than I need, but I can't put them anywhere. They just end up on the floor in a corner, and I have to guess how many I have of a given kind. Being able to store them, and see how many I have currently stored, would be useful. It would also be useful to store extra moth eggs, since there's been a few times where the incubator was full and I just had to leave eggs lying around for a couple days.

Another possible option for managing eggs specifically would be the ability to sell them. If you already have seven lavender moths, you might not want any more eggs for them, so you can just get rid of the extra eggs. Let someone else get really into giant moth cultivation.

Finally, I had some trouble with weird object interactions. Mostly when trying to feed moths. Something would get in the way and I'd do the wrong action. Like I'd accidentally pick up a flower pot, or start using the spindle. I'd even think I was feeding the moth, because it would show the loading circle for holding down the interact button, but then it would do something you need to only press for instead. I also had issues with feeding being interrupted partway through, usually when another moth lands on top of the one I was trying to feed. Or I'd see the dots for a hungry moth, but I couldn't feed it when another moth was on top of it, even if that moth was already fed. And since the moth movements are so irregular, there was a good chance that the hungry moth would fly away the moment I'd try moving to a different position to feed it without issues. Which all just exacerbated the problem of having so many moths to feed with so little time and space.

In closing, I know I seem really critical, but I only bothered saying anything because of how much I loved the game. I played for 100 in-game days. I ended up with 6 cerulean moths, 6 lavender moths, 5 pale moths, and 1 sable moth. And I cared about all of them and tried hard to take good care of them. I wouldn't have stuck with it if I didn't really like it, in spite of the bits I didn't care for.

Hey! I love this game so far but I'm having a bit of trouble, every time I make a sale it doesn't give me any coins and then I can't progress, I'm a little confused. (I'm playing on the web version fyi)

What silk do you use to fix the light switch at the very top of the house?

Y'all what is the pumpkin for 

how do you use the miracle water? 

Guys how do you get spokes for the machine??

How do you slide down the ladder?

Guys I'm genuinely stupid how do i use the phone

@Moth House I genuinely am very stuck , please help!

Y'all I'm stuck !! How do we order from the phone!! I'm on day 6 and have no watering can for the plants, so I can't nurture the purple egg and continue on with the game!!

honestly, this game has been improving and improving! Keep it up! Couldn't figure out how to get the blank eggs to hatch tho... But I guess it's already a lot more hand holding than in the past as far as I remember!

I love this game alot! Ive been playing it non-stop ever since i found it! Just that i wish the days were longer and/or the player could be faster when completing tasks. Other than that, ive had alot of fun and the moths are really cute!

did I get promoted to same-day shipping or is this a glitch I just discovered

context: I ordered a blue seed and two pink/purple seeds and they arrived the same day I ordered them(unpacked to show contents ofc)
edit: I just realized that my order is the same as the surprise supplies given to you by the phone people and yes this is a glitch
edit 2: I tried this again and I think this was patched or smth

Hello, I really enjoy this game so I wanted to offer some feedback, firstly, once you accumulate so many moths it becomes hard to feed them all as they just sit there and bump into each other, and you spend half the day chasing them waiting for them to land. This could be improved by giving the player places to automatically feed the moths as long as enough herbs are in stock. The big lamp at the top definitely helps with this issue however when you have that many it still becomes a clamor.

I feel as though there needs to be more places to plant the herbs as well, whether that comes as unlocking a new floor, or room in the building through repairing another ladder or something.

I would also appreciate being able to carry more than one seed at a time, it takes very long bringing many seeds to the second level and to all the planters, even with the dumb waiter unlocked.

With the blue and purple moth, I wish you could choose which herb to feed it, instead of it automatically giving a blue herb unless you don't have any, I run out of the blue herbs more than the purple despite the game suggesting the purple ones are the "harder to get" ones.

The seeds for the brown moth can also get stuck on the level and become unattainable. And since seeds don't de-spawn it meant that I had to start a new save file.

I'd also wish for some sort of dash, while the unlockable outfits do increase your move speed, with how short the days are I do want to be able to move just a little bit quicker. An invisible stamina bar, such as reusing the "too tired" sprite to represent empty stamina, with a recovery time on the shorter (3~ seconds) side seems like a good option.

I really adore this game, and am by no means going to stop playing, I have already started a new save file because of the seeds getting stuck in the last one and will just have to be more careful going forward. These are all just little gripes that in no way ruin the play experience, well aside from seeds getting stuck, and while I would love to see some improvements, it is pretty clear the devs are no longer actively working on this game. I can't wait to see what else the devs come up with :)

i'm stuck on the start screen

am i being silly? i cant get past the controls page 

I've been trying to use the telephone. How do you water the plants?

A good, fun, relaxing game. I enjoyed it a lot. There are some bugs but the ambience, the music and the art are awesome. Good job!

When you start days seem long and as you progress they feel too short.
