cool

lazarche 2018-08-10 21:58

done!

crafty-mine 2018-08-14 21:12

Really nice gamecontinue on making games

plukers 2018-08-14 21:20

Hey, I like your idea and the concept! Your game has a nice retro charme. You have a lot of gameplay elements for only 72 hours, so respect! Thanks for the great submission!

The graphics are too inconsistent and the perspective is very weird which makes navigating the map harder. The mechanics seemed too confusing, tutorial could be more informative. The lack of feedback made it even more confusing. You can't tell when you hit an enemy, when enemy hits, when you are hungry, when you are thirsty, the actions take too long, I wasn't sure for a while if my shovel was even doing anything. After searching through whole map I didn't find torch and any ammo. I didn't quite understand how to get more water.

grewoss 2018-08-14 21:38

This game is done pretty well, I like the "snow blocking off streets" mechanic, it fits the theme quite well. But I had to figure out how to eat (I eventually found out that I have to right click on items). The Graphics are pretty good and the colors fit the overall mood, good job on that. A "progressbar" for cutting down trees would be pretty cool, same for Wolfs.

lazarche 2018-08-14 21:45

@lamossus @grewoss well yes,there isnt much feedback but hey it was done in only 72h.I barelly manage to finish it.Next time smaller game project for sure!ps thanks for comments!

lazarche 2018-08-14 21:46

@crafty-mine @plukers thanks!I will

lamossus 2018-08-14 21:48

@lazarche I hope I didn't sound too discouraging. Fitting so many mechanichs in a game in 72 hours is pretty impressive! I just thought that it would be good to tell my thoughts on how the game could be improved

lazarche 2018-08-14 21:54

@lamossus it hurted a bit but its okey.Map had to be rescaled because our graphic designer is ... eh nvm but thanks for feedback anyway!

lonazen 2018-08-15 00:03

@plukers @lamossus @crafty-mine @grewoss @rother-games Everyone thank you for the feedback it means quite a lot I also thank you for enjoying and critisising our game. Now individualy. Lamossus I dont know about my collegues but I find it as constructive critisism every comment good or bad is very welcome, the item spawns are random so it all depends on luck itself I know it can be frustrating but we tried our best, for the graphics too hehe i was drawing everything i know im not even decent but i am working on it. Thanks again! Grewoss, thank you for the support, the idea of progress bars came to mind but we didnt have any time to implement it and kinda forgot it at the end, the item usage or the RMB was listed in the tutorial screen but hey its okay if you missed it. Thanks again! Plukers, hey there thanks for the feedback we did our best to fit everything we could into the game, thank you for giving feedback once more! Crafty-nine, thank you for the incouraging words we will do everything we can to do so. Thanks again! Rother games, thanks for the feedback we will look into it asap, but it was tested for a couple of hours and no errors were found then, and other people don't have the problem, but we are going to try to fix it if possible. Thanks again! Thanks everybody for the ? time I will make sure that my team plays and rates your games. Stay humble!

devio 2018-08-15 03:35

I think this has potential, The few changes you should make for future versions if you plan to make any, Is that you should get either audio or visual feedback for successfully hitting something. The audio and visuals did what they needed to and set premice for a darker time the game is set in. Well portrayed and I personally love the control style, though I think it might need tweaking since placing items in my inventory seemed clunky. Other than that, Well done!

lonazen 2018-08-15 03:38

@devio Thank you a lot for the feedback we will look forward to create better feedback on the hitting. Stay humble!

bigjigglyproductions 2018-08-15 09:00

Game crashed on death lol, other than that I was a tad confused, but if this game had more time, it could become something amazing!

lonazen 2018-08-15 11:48

@bigjigglyproductions Hey thanks for the feedback we noticed the game crashes upon death sometimes but cannot find the fault. It happens sometimes not always but we will continue looking into it. Thanks again, stay humble!

outterest 2018-08-15 18:23

It's a nice concept, just needs a little polish if you were to pick it up at a later time.

And I like how you went with wolves as the enemy. I would've gone with zombies and that would be kind of lame... :sleeping:

kjetil 2018-08-15 18:46

fatal error every times the wolf attacks me. But I watched your video, and I really like this type of game (almost like project zomboid), it was really ambitious of to try it. I would like to point out though that the music was very low, you should really look into if you have any options for normalizing audio (compressors, limiters etc).

flower 2018-08-15 19:46

Graphics are a little bit weird but it feels interesting) Nice job overall!)

lonazen 2018-08-16 03:03

@outterest @kjetil @flower Thanks everyone for the nice comments and feedback. I will make sure to rate your games. Now seperatly. Outterest, thank you, we might continue working on it but not now, as for the zombies they were the first idea that came to mind but they became kinda mainstream and boring so we chose wolves as they are often found in colder areas.Thank you alot again! Kjelti, thank you for both the comment and feedback, we are aware that there is a bug and it crashes the game and we taught we fixed it but it doesnt happen with everyone and it happens at random so we can figure out which part of the code is the problem, for the music we went for the idea of something low for some enviormental or rather "blind" or "moody" gameplay, we tried music that more resembles the cold, decayed time of the game. Thanks again so much.Flower, thank you for the nice comment, the graphics can be weird at some places of the map and its my fault since i did the artwork but i will try to work on that as much as i can. Thank you again so much. For the ? time thanks everyone as i said i will make sure me and my team playes and rates your games. Stay humble!

drskort 2018-08-17 11:26

Great game! I didn't know at the beginning how to consume items and I didn't know when the enemies hit me and when I do hit them, but the mechanics worked really good. The artstyle was really well made and the audio sounded very retro and fitting.

lonazen 2018-08-17 12:02

@drskort Thanks for the great comment, the consumable things were listed in the tutorial and here but hey its okay if you missed it. True we didnt make any feedback for being hit or hitting something. Thanks for all the comments, i will make sure that my team rates your game as well. Stay humble!

gaming-night 2018-08-17 12:35

Nice game, I really liked the graphics, well done !

lonazen 2018-08-17 13:32

@gaming-night Thank you for the nice comment. I will make sure my team rates your game as well. Stay humble!

gaming-night 2018-08-17 13:34

@lonazen haha thanks ! I like Karma :)

corqi 2018-08-17 17:35

I like the concept of Your game. The graphics is also nice. But You should repair going through doors mechanics in Postjam updates(If You plan to still work on game) and also adding loot that spawns every few minutes would be nice, because after scavanging city a bit, I couldn't get any water. Anyway nice game!

lonazen 2018-08-17 18:37

@corqi Thanks for the nice comment and suggestions we are planning to work on it after everything gets settled. I will make sure my team rates your game!

corqi 2018-08-17 18:47

@lonazen Nice to hear, that You will keep working on this project. I wish You luck!

cristihkj 2018-08-17 19:04

Nice game! Really cool and interesting! :D

oriondark7 2018-08-17 20:22

This was a neat game. I liked how you approached running our of space with Siberia and the snow. It didn't really hook me. I basically just looted buildings and killed wolves until my inventory ran out of space. I liked how you added a tutorial, but the spacing of the lines of text were not so great. I liked the swiping animation and how it changed depending on what you were using, but I really think adding a little more animation to player and wolf movement would've been good as well. Nice game, and good job!

skippynose2 2018-08-17 20:33

Nice game I liked the pixel like art style very much. The music contributed greatly to the mood. That being said I like the controls and I liked the idea of snow filling up the whole map and making you isolated to one place. And nice touch to the title Relentless Siberia.

lonazen 2018-08-17 20:47

@cristihkj @oriondark7 @skippynose2 Thank you everyone for the nice comments it means a lot. I dont have much to say but about the spacing, yea its my fault i tried to fit everything so its a little confusing to read. The animations do need more work but they were really hard so they required a lot of time. Anyways thanks to all for the comments, i will make sure my team rates your games as well. Stay humble!

darylsteak 2018-08-18 04:37

Man, you guys managed to make quite some stuff within 3 days. I liked the survival aspect of the game and the music was quite fitting, expand on this and the game may very well stand up on its own.

The only complaint I have is that it would be nice that there was some sort of indication when your guy is hurt or loosing health.

Great job, and great potential.

max-cahill 2018-08-18 05:05

The look of inside buildings was very nice. The snow filling up was interesting, but it felt annoying/fiddly when moving around a lot of the time. The mood and misery of the whole experience made up for it though, nicely done.

lonazen 2018-08-18 06:39

@darylsteak @max-cahill Thank you both for the nice comments and feedback. We are planning to continue development after everything gets settled.The moving animation is quite goofy ans its my mistake but i is going to be fixed when we continue with the game. Thanks again fie the comments, i eill make sure my team rates your games. Stay humble!

afendar 2018-08-19 16:04

Nice funny little game. Mechanic is interesting. Good job guys

borjan1peovski 2018-08-19 16:51

Cool game. It has a lot of features for the small amount of time. Although it crashes when i get killed. The music and art were nice. Not sure how it fits the theme though.

lazarche 2018-08-19 22:09

@borjan1peovski well,snow is bulding up around you and you are losing space.

lonazen 2018-08-20 10:21

@afendar @borjan1peovski Thanks for the nice comments. Sorry about thing crashing we tried fixing it a couple of times but cant manage to find the problem. Altough the theme i think quite fits everybody has their taughts about everything.

lagrume-masque 2018-08-22 09:03

Nice game, it must have been a challenge to do a survival in 72h! I liked the music and graphics but the tutorial was really hard to read for me and I didn't get what was the point of having less space to navigate. I didn't understand how to use the shovel and the game crashed when I looted the rifle. Overall nice work! Had fun killing my first wolf.

lonazen 2018-08-22 12:37

@lagrume-masque Thanks the tutorial is kinda hard to read, and there is some bugs and were sorry. I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks again!

mowztouch 2018-08-22 16:21

I didn't really understood how i was supposed to survive, but well done. 72 bours is short ^^

lonazen 2018-08-22 16:46

@mowztouch Thanks for the feedback. Survive by eating and drinking the supplies you find in houses, but its okay if you missed it. Thanks anyways!

firesplash-entertainment 2018-08-30 17:24

nice idea but i found it hard to figure ourt where to find and how to use stuff correctly. further parts of the inventory are not wiped when game over

shakedimus 2018-09-01 11:16

I liked the game but it was complicated what to use where also there was no fewedback on damage. I liked the audio and visuals though very much a siberia feel. If you could find a way to make it a bit more clear what to do this would be more fun.

lonazen 2018-09-03 09:09

@firesplash-entertainment @shakedimus Thank you both for great comments and feedback. We are planning to continue development in the near future. Stay tuned! Stay Humble!

atom0520 2018-09-04 14:19

@lonazen Very fun game! It reminds me of some survival games like Don't Starve. The pixel arts look nice. The audio is also good. The blocking snow and limited inventory space sort of fit the theme. The map is big I like the design that I can enter the interior of each house. There is an issue that everytime I die and restart the game, the items in my inventory would not disappear. I don't know if it's a bug or is done on purpose, but then when I die again with some items in inventory, a fatal error message window would pop up. I also notice that some snow in the map is part of the background and cannot be removed, and I think they are sometimes distracting. I also hope you can give some explanations on how to make a camp fire using logs as I still don't know how to do that.

However overall it's a very interesting game. It's awesome that you could make such a big map and so many items in the limited time. Good work!

lonazen 2018-09-04 19:37

@atom0520 Thanks for the great feedback, im glad you enjoyed it.These were bugs and will be fixed when we continue development. About the error we tried fixing it many times and failed, im the designer so im not really sure what it could be but my friend tried his best (sry about that). Some snow was left there for decoration and we should've made it able to remove, but some was left there for an easter egg hidden somewhere. As for the camp fire it has been explained in the tutorial but its okay if you missed it it happends, basically you take 5 logs and pile them up, then take a torch and drop it over the logs and the fire should appear. Thanks again for the great review. Stay humble!

atom0520 2018-09-04 22:59

@lonazen Oh I see the explanation of making camp fire now. Sorry for my oversight. I didn't expect there's also an easter egg hidden in the map. That's very interesting. Keep up your good work!
