I'm not sure if there were any logs to get picked up, but I never was able to find any that I could use (despite the logs around the area).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Otherwise, the controls were intuitive enough to figure out without much, but I'm glad you had instructions that &quot;e&quot; picked up and dropped sticks."},{"author_name":"Meral","author_uid":"44141","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 12:04am","epoch":1418169540,"text":"Really nice atmosphere. It reminded me of &quot;Don't Starve&quot; at the beginning, but very soon got it's own character. The music and wind sounds add greatly to it. Being able to change the resolution is great for a LD game.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I did get the &quot;Hope I don't end up like him&quot;-message too early in my first start. What could I have used the axe for? I tried holding 'F' in front of trees or branches, but it didn't seem to do anything. It shouldn't be possible to accidentally reduce the fire size by pressing 'R'."},{"author_name":"conradte3","author_uid":"47185","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 12:51am","epoch":1418172360,"text":"Thanks for all the feedback guys!

You slowly discover the area by fueling your fire, which is your only source of warmth in an extremely cold environment.\r\n\r\nEDIT: Sorry guys, there should have been some extra\/clearer messages in there. Logs cannot be picked up until they are chopped (by pressing F on them after picking up the ax).\r\n\r\nFixes: Second message now correctly says \"sticks\" instead of \"things\". Log collision mask corrected. \"Activate log\" message now displays at the correct time. Fire can no longer be accidentally \"lit\" if it is already lit.
