THIS IS EXCELLENT!
How you did this in 48 hours is beyond me! And you did it with Game Maker, the engine I use. For me, the source is the best thing about this. I will study it and hope to make awesome stuff like this.
Shame there is a lack of audio. Controls are responsive, art is perfect, inventory works great and objects spawn as they are supposed too. I have only played a bit, but this is so impressive.
Very nice and polished. Fun and unique. Would have needed some kind of music or ambience to get more of a forest feel. But I guess you were busy drawing all of that art :)
Love... PRO
EXCELLENT game. Brilliant premise, well-executed, great to look at. All around fantastic.
This game is great. If you made a commercial version, I would buy it.
If I didn't trust you (which I do) I'd have a hard time believing that you made this in 48 hours ^^
I am super impressed =D
Love the graphics!
Best entry I have played so far. Excellent effort for such a short time.
Graphics are the quality of a released game. Sound wasn't the best but in the time used they are still great.
I'd love to see this developed in to a full game. Well done
This is my favorite entry so far! The art is really great. The bone armor looks so cool! I was also really impressed by the number of mechanics in the game, but it seemed to move very slowly. Once I got the spear and bone armor I was able to grind way more resources than I needed, but I still got very few human encounters, and sometimes it seemed like I missed the humans and had to wait another day to hope to see them. I played for a long time and only wound up with 3 metal.
Right on!
This is very, very good. I am with avultima above on not getting it how you got all this to work and play this good in just 48 hours. Maybe you've had some neat base code, eh? ;)
By the way, I liked the game a lot and it had me in for a _long_ time, but for me the most interesting part is the logic behind the reactions of animals. I mean, when they get hit - they run, that's clear. The interesting part is that they react when I do something next to them, but not to them directly: like I hit another animal close to them or I just miss - all that.
Would you care to elaborate on that in some kind of a postmortem? And what are your media channels that I could follow to get notified of a post of some sorts?
Also: throwing rocks just... ROCKS! And the armor is very rad!
Thank you for all your wonderful feedback! By the way, if you want to learn some things from my code, I support that! But be aware that a great many things in there are hastily designed, possibly broken, or made in a very simple way in order to save time.
By your request I have made a post-mortem blog on this site.
This damn impressive for 48 hours! Amazing art.
nice work, though there're too few human even I have one hatred point.
Wow, nice work! There's a lot of depth to this game, although imo it started to feel somewhat grinding-heavy early on. The graphics and animations are superb, the atmosphere is nice as well, but some form of music or background sound would have been nice.
Crazy ambitious game! :D
Really killer work.
Best ive played so far, really cool - troll armour is amazing! Will play again when its possible to get more metal, played for 30 mins and got 1 piece.
Wow! I really like this game. The pixel art is pretty good. I remember playing a Warcraft III map where you controlled a Troll that had to survive. This game has the same vibe. Great game man!
For a 48h game this is very well made. The simple two palette art works great, the sound effects are nice. The controls are responsive and the mechanics are well thought out. Overall, a great entry!
Incredible amount of work done in 48 hours. Well done!
Very cool game, the graphics are super nice!
Really good game, very fun, lots of content for 48h and great graphics
Brilliant, the lack of sleep was worth it. I tried to get metal armour, it took me so long I maxed out everything else, but I know you're aware of the pacing issues ;P Best I've played so far!
Excellent !!! Fancy graphics, great ambience, a little to slow progression (30 minutes to have 15 metal) but despite that it's a brilliant game and it's currently the best game I've tested
One of my favorite ! I will come back for more.
This is really great. Loads of fun and a fantastic feeling of progression. Great Job!
Not bad! Pretty addictive crafting survival game =) But after 15 min playng it gets kinda boring...
One of the best entries I have played. Amazing visuals, especially for 48 hours. Nice progression and the controls feel tight.
It's a cool game. I liked it, specially the graphics, but I found the gameplay a bit repetitive.
Awesome game! Wish there was some music to accompany it.
Whoa, good stuff! Pacing a bit slow, but all-in-all very complete.
This game is really fun, but it also really slow and not challenging after the first few minutes. I tried your suggestion and letting humans running away, but it didn't seem to work. :/ Great game otherwise, though! I love the art!
This one is really good! I had a lot of fun in this game and I loved the graphics. The game lacks music though.
Love the graphics and the game is super addictive! Brilliant work for such a short time. But I guess I found a bug because at some point the troll started walking on its own and I couldn't change directions anymore.
Excellent game! One of the top picks of this jam! Great
Awesome. Quite slow, especially considering there isn't much else to do beside feeding your hunger while you wait for humans. But I still enjoyed it :)
Well-polished, addictive variation of "Don't starve". Great job for 48 hours! Two notes:
Background forest could be more irregular.
Please add confirmation on exit (Escape button). :)
Your game is really fun, charliecarlo! Fantastic job on the pixel art! The lighting in the cave and human torches give a nice effect, and it is so satisfying to hurl a stone after a fleeing human.
Your entry is a perfect example of what Ludum Dare aims to inspire!
Note: A prompt on ESC would be nice.
Amazing!!!! Everything about this is awesome. Obviously pacing is slow but i havent tried the updated version. Theres so many little epic details, from the way the armor gets cooler and cooler to the combat to the subtle lighting effects when you enter the cave. You have a winner right here.
Great graphics! I looks like a survival game. But there is nothing out there. Hard work in the jam!
Great artworks! Love it. Congrats!
Really amazing and well polished game. The graphics are fantastic and the gameplay is really nice. My two only complaints would be about the pace that is very slow and the lack of quality audio. Other than that, you did an excellent job for a compo entry, congratulations!
Congrats on placing 8th in the overall top 100!
