Story

Wake up in a village. You have to provide food for them or they won't be able to defend before the raiders. But you also need to eat and improve your skills.

Hunt down animals and gain loot. Bring it back before night and make a choice! Will you keep the obtained resources or sacrifice them so the village can survive the next day? The time is short and the needs high.

Controls

A, D, Space to move

E to interact

LMB to shoot

I could not interact with the characters to use my food. I tried 'E' to interact. What's the trick?

vojtimanauthor4 Dec 2018, 02:11

@maycon Many thanks, we are more than happy to hear that you like it! :)

vojtimanauthor4 Dec 2018, 02:12

@treegemmer Which characters were it? Only the still-standing guys can get the food from you....
Left one = decide to keep the food, village is NOT SAFE from raids, but you get buffs.
Right one = decide to sacrifice the food to the village, village IS SAFE from raids, but you get debuffs.

Thank you for playing the game! :)

I love the way the camera and the backgrounds move when the character moves around. But I'm not sure about what sacrifice was about. Hunters that getting food for his village is part of their job not sacrifice though. The meat found on corpse was not piling up. Maybe I had to provide a single meat to the village one at a time? That part was not so obvious. However the ambiance of that game offer is quite good.

Nice game! A bear came rushing into me and killed my hopes and dreams like it was life responsibilities.

vojtimanauthor4 Dec 2018, 11:20

@edwarkun Yeah the nature is not really friendly during the night, thanks for playing the game and giving us feeback! :)

egos4 Dec 2018, 11:35

the ambiance of the game is very cool
but i am consused about the bring food mecanism .. hmaybe somme other information on screen can help

anyway i had fun to hunt animals ;)

Borja4 Dec 2018, 11:42

Pretty cool game! Sound was good and the gameplay was fun. Loved the first NPC. Good work!

vojtimanauthor4 Dec 2018, 11:58

@egos We are sorry, that we didn't explain it good enough, there was too little time to do that better, but we are happy to hear that you still liked the game! :)

@borja Thank you so much! :)

makerart4 Dec 2018, 12:41

Looks cool! It's like "Starbound" with more tycoon mechanics. Dialog messages looks prettily ;) Their shining is little bit out of other game art.
I won't kill deers because they are nice)) So the only way is to compete bears.
Effects in general - is good as well!
And it's great that you have made html version. Not much games here can afford it because of performance.(

Good luck!

DeathBySnail4 Dec 2018, 13:02

Movement controls were not functioning (webgl, chrome).

vojtimanauthor4 Dec 2018, 13:23

@makerart Thank you so much for your feedback! We really appreciate it. :)
The bloom on messages is there because it's on the camera, there was no time to fix that, but we don't think it's too bad... :)
Well you can hunt bears or hares by setting up traps under the trees with hare holes under them. :)

Html version is necesarry IMO. Thank you!

vojtimanauthor4 Dec 2018, 13:24

@deathbysnail You are the first person having such issue, have you fixed it?

Ece4 Dec 2018, 13:25

nice concept. I had really fun :) also I really lied the logo

vojtimanauthor4 Dec 2018, 13:34

@ece Thank you so much, appreciated! :) The logo was done by @KingDoxik

kirroyal4 Dec 2018, 13:43

The bears in the cave got me =( The mood of the game really fits together. And I like the art style. Good job!

thmokedfish4 Dec 2018, 14:50

A highly completed game! Camera arrangement performed well. Nice game.I like it:)

Oceanosaurus4 Dec 2018, 16:21

Interesting concept, choices are always tough to make. I enjoyed the setting and ambiance, but aiming with the bow was a bit hard for me (playing the HTML5 version, not sure if it had something to do). NPC characters add some background story which is great to see in a LDJam game. The bear was deadly ;) Congrats on delivering this!

kerzak4 Dec 2018, 21:03

I pretty much agree with what was already said - nice game, interesting camera solution, weird shooting. I want to add just one thing - my game experience rapidly increased when I switched on hints. IMHO the game should impel the player to do the right choices, i.e. it should somehow highlight the items that he can interact with. Sometimes, of course, it is not desirable to do so (because of the game design) but I think that here it is not the case.

Pieter4 Dec 2018, 22:51

I liked the archery, killing bears on a distance! very fun and kept my occupied :)

Dino_jr4 Dec 2018, 22:57

Cool concept and story, congrats.

Leothil4 Dec 2018, 23:43

Archery was fun and world pleasant to explore. Game i've played for the longest time.

Couldn't throw any arrows after some time, don't know if i had not any arrows anymore or if it was a bug.
Music in base switch from only left to right ear at some x coordinate.

EliasCizl4 Dec 2018, 23:47

@leothil Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah, there is no indicator of the arrow amount but they are limited. You can replenish them at your home and also, when you boost yourself, the max number you can carry gets increased but there is no way to tell from the game right now, that's true.

Leothil4 Dec 2018, 23:58

@eliascizl OK! thanks for responding, knowing i can refill i'll play again :D And i realize i didn't said good job to you 'cause i like this game, so... Good job guys !

smuhlaci5 Dec 2018, 00:02

I couldn't play the game on Safari, Mac OSX after pressed the start button

Helen5 Dec 2018, 00:05

The sound is great and fits to the graphics. The hunting is fun when you manage to shoot in the right angle. But sometimes the character does not flip when walking backwards.

BananaBobBert5 Dec 2018, 00:06

nice concept, decent looks, but missing a HUD unless it was intentional ^^

Hit a deer mid air with an arrow, it flew off screen like a rocket ;D

acaral5 Dec 2018, 00:59

Interesting concept. I had the true feeling of making choices. You're clearly in the theme

FlashViper5 Dec 2018, 03:49

Decent game. There were some visibility issues with the arrows and the UI (small black text on a dark background = bad news). E should be a button prompt too. Anyway, nitpicks aside, the concept of the game was cool, and with a few tweaks, the game could be great.

vojtimanauthor5 Dec 2018, 10:11

@helen the character always looks at your cursor. :) And thank you!
@bananabobbert We wanted to make UI-less game, but we didn't have enough time to remove the food from top-left corner, anyway thank you! :)
@acaral Thanks.
@flashviper Thank you for your feedback. :) Appreciated!

Jantaaa5 Dec 2018, 13:23

Cool concept, had fun with the bow hunting. Would love to see an arc or at least power indicator of the arrow. Thanks for making the game :)

iggythegrifter5 Dec 2018, 15:12

not sure why i couldn't interact with people, but i really enjoy shooting arrows!

markusfisch6 Dec 2018, 21:28

Really like how you realized shooting with bow and arrow! Also very nice sound effects and music. Especially the little details are great, for example when you're passing a bush with bees. Awesome game!
