Ludum Dare #58compo
HUNTBORN
Brotato-like with a crafting system. ~~Fight epic bosses and collect their troph~~ Uhh... Weapons. Craft and collect weapons. That's also sort of collecting, yea?
Changelog 1:
- Fixed the long loading bug (had to sacrifice the menu)
- Added a win and death screen (they also have the same loading issue, so just reload the page)
- Fixed the weapon display bug

I agree with benjamin, this is impressive for a compo game! Just making all those assets must have taken half a day

Have to agree with Benjamin and SinusQuell, great work!

Well done publishing an entry. I couldn't find a way to turn the sound on so I did not hear anything. But you have audio rating enabled. Maybe it is my computer. I'm on linux running firefox.

@mdotedot I couldn't add the sound in time. I thought this rating had to be active in Сompo anyway. Fixed it. Thanks for pointing it out!

These Vampire Survivor -esque games are always fun! The crafting system was a good addition. However, I need to say that as my favorite part of the game was to gather resources, there was very little of that in the game. Waves felt way too long with no resources to gather in between. And then you may get only 1 tree or rock per wave, which felt dull.
I would much rather gather a lot more resources - even if it meant that resource costs were higher. Now it felt I was not able to complete my "dream build" due to never getting enough resources to do that. If crafting is what players want, let them do it, and just make the game around it scale harder.
But I spent a good amount of time with this. It probably means it is at least an ok game! Good work!

Cool concept

Great amount of content for a compo, especially given all the ui work required.

Im a sucker for vamp survivor likes and had fun with this!
A bite more loot wouldve been great but Im impressed with the crafting system. Cool little game!

Crafting weapons as part of a surviors like is really cool! I haven't seen that before! It would be super neat to have a deeper crafting tree, maybe even combing weapons together to get more powerful versions so that you can hyper customize your build.

What a fun game! I love the weapon crafting mechanic. If you decide to work on it post-jam, I think some polished visuals and a soundtrack would elevate the experience even more!

Great work! It was pretty easy to win

Crafting in the style of Vampire Survivors is awesome! I need to remember that idea :)
There’s an issue in the game though — resources eventually run out, so there’s nothing left to craft with. You should make trees regrow, and as for stones… maybe have waves bring them in :)

Overwhelming!

Good entry, not too difficult. Visuals could be better, some animations and sfx/music will take it to the next level

I really like this combination of game mechanics, works really well!! If you flesh this out more I could definitely see this work as a full release!

This was awesome! I love games like Brotato, and the crafting mechanic addition is really epic. I didn't realize that my newly crafted weapons weren't equipped until about round 5, so on that round I got WAY more epic lol.
Really clever idea! I would love to see some enemies shoot, but what you accomplished is amazing.
