Looks really polished!
Feels quite polished and looks and sounds absolutely beautiful. Took me a little bit to understand what to actually do, so maybe there could be some improvements there. But overall a great entry, good job!
The 3D graphics are really impressive ! I ended up running around pressing E everywhere but I din't quite understand what picking up grass was for, or what the day/night cycle did. I'll point out that some bridges are a bit difficult to navigate with 8 directional movement, but nothing too hard. Great job doing all that in 3 days!
very cute :D
So far this is the best game I've seen in this jam! It is so well-developed and good in all respects, I won’t even list everything. You are great.
I've added it to my bookmarks and will play again!
That is so cute! Creatures are funny and fluffy, i loved it =) Didn't get it at first how many to collect, then found it. Nice job!
Definitely the cutest thing I've ever seen for this jam! The process of rescuing these little creatures is addictive and you really want more and more
Beautiful game! I'm really big fan of such aesthetic!
Very cute, nice style, very calm game, I like it
Felt super polished!
Loved the vibes and the art!
Waow thank you so much everyone for that support it is incredible! Didn't expected that!!!
@fishmasterino To explain more clearly, grass is consumed during the night by the creatures, if you don't have enough your shelter will loose life and potentially be destroyed (game over). The day & Night cycle changes how creatures follow you, they rest at night except the last kind that is awake at night.
@hajpappan Ha sorry for that, I tried to make a tutorial without any words but Should have done more drawings on the rocks for that and I didn't had enough time. I just added a Help mode with "O" where it gives you the direction of the closest trapped creatures.
Wow! I’m in love with this graphics! The lighting and color combinations are stunning! Great job!
this is very very cute. the art is great and can't wait to see what else you come up with in this world! your comment on how grass and other mechanics work is helpful haha
I'm absolutely blown away by this game! The animations, sound, and overall theme are just so adorable. Fantastic job! The only tiny critique I could give is the integration of the Unity player on the website, but honestly, that's nitpicking at a very high level!
This is such a cute, cozy game! I had the same experience running around aimlessly for awhile, clicking E anytime I could, but I didn't even mind that, since the atmosphere is so chill <3
Super cool game! Loved the pikimin style creatures. The overall presentation is very well made, music is nice, day and nice cycle is cool, graphics are beautiful, very moody. Maybe I would like the game to have a clearer purpose, like, OK I'm gathering resources, but it's not so clear at first what the resources or the creatures are for. Overall a great entry!
I really enjoyed this game. It has wonderful visuals and music, and the movement feels very fluid and fun. The gameplay was a little confusing to me, I'm not exactly what it was I was doing gathering all those materials and I did encounter a bug where I became trapped underneath a bridge I had just built, however I still had a good time with this and will probably return to it again to give it another play. Really excellent work for a weekend jam game, you're very talented developers.
I enjoyed my time with this! Graphics look simple but polished! So about the gameplay, I did enjoy it. But I'd prefer another approach personally. I liked the usage of tiny creatures bringing your items back to base and their food consuming mechanic is also a good idea. But in practice, there were tons of grass so it never was a challenge. Never felt like I was going to run out. So, huge level... Instead of a huge level, I'd prefer a smaller level with some more puzzle elements what would make feel clever. So because I didn't get challenged, it became a chill exploration game for me and that is fine if you went for it! I enjoyed it as an exploration game anyway!
I also appreciate you having different music tracks for day and night. Though, they were a little bit repetitive. Thanks for the entry! <3
such a cute game!! Although I didnt quite understood the whole objective except from walking around picking up stuff releasing the lil ones. But I really like the vibe.
Nice visuals! For me it was always clear what I could pick up and what not.
One time the little Nomads where stuck in their cage, but apart from that the game worked well. :)
As @Brainoid mentioned I would also prefer a bit more challenge. Little hazards could be used for example.
What I want you to ask. Did you have further ideas, which couldn't be included in the game, because of the deadline?
Congrats to your finished game! Have fun exploring the other Ludum Dare games. :)
While it was confusing at first the gameplay was easy enough to figure out. The artstyle really set the mood and while I also got stuck under a bridge and had some other physics issues, such as getting flung away by a rock you just destroyed or getting shoved down the edge and falling into the void for a few seconds, it was really nice connecting the little ones.
Really nice game ! The creatures following you animation is nice, and it only needs an animation of them building the brigdes to make it perfect ! Really good job !
Really nice game!
I didn't really understead or cared about the management/survival mechanics but the exploration of this tiny 3D world was really cute ✨
Nice game, cute creatures and lovely animations. Makes a lot of difference. gj
A pleasant and cute game!
The graphics are really amazing. I didn't quite understood how it works. I didn't understood why my camp got destroyed.
Waow thank you so much everyone for all the nice feedbacks !!! I cannot reply to everyone but I updated this page with better information if you want to understand everything about the resources & goal.
@mibi88 I am sorry to read that, I updated this page with way more informations, in game what the first mural says it you need Food and Wood, otherwise your creatures are starving and your camp got destroyed.
@doot Thank you so much for testing the game! Yes I think the management side is so little I could have completely drop it.
@haoro I would have dreamed of that but maybe too much animation work.
@lllarso Originally I wanted to have multiple shelters, you have to fix because the wind damage it, a lot more resources like coal to heat better the camp, but I ended up making the game more friendly and dropping some camp locations because it was way too big of a world to craft/make look pretty.
@brainoid I didn't wanted to make the game punishing as it is a very chill one, so in the end I think it would maybe had a better choice to drop it and be 100% peaceful. Didn't made the best decisions on this.
This game is so cool! I loved it!
Lovely art style and enjoyed running around with the creatures
Such a big game for a jam ! And it is super polished bravo !!
It's polished and has a pleasant atmosphere!
Thank you so much for your support!!! I clearly didn't expected that much!
Lovely and cozy, like the graphics. Almost finished the game without help but finally stuck in a place where I can't go out sadly. Overall it is super cool and interesting.
Absolutely amazing art and execution! The little guys just hopping around is super cute!
Looks great! Cute and polished, the vibe reminds me of Kena: Bridge of Spirits. The gameplay is a little thin though, but that's understandable given the dev time limitations.
Really polish ! One of the best entry i tried in this ludum. Music is very chill, i really enjoyed trying to find your tiny nomads. I'm glad I played your game! Well done Capture d’écran 2024-10-13 135925.png
I really love your game, the mood is relaxing and I really wanted to free all this tiny nomads, congrats :heart:
Thank you so much for those feedbacks @norah @tobaccoleopard @stega @astrayrae @utopia !!!
