I enjoyed how you went about merging the common survival game mechanics into something that made sense in card form, very well done there. I also really appreciated the card art, and would have loved to see that same cleaner aesthetic in the game itself. It would have also been good to get more of a \"forest\"-y feel from the sounds, and maybe have some low key music that changes with the time of day, when you get attacked, etc. The biggest issue for me, however, was the unnecessary waiting. I would have rated this game higher on fun if instead of making the player wait so long while he collected resources, which in this game was totally passive, I could have had the same experience in 5 minutes instead of 20. But again, great job, hope to see you in 42! :smile: \n\nEDIT: I played this on stream, if you'd like to check it out, you're at ~1:18:00.

Very good use of the theme. The survival mechanics were well developed and balanced, and worked well in combination with the card mechanics. I particularly liked the trade-offs between \"forage\", \"wood\", and \"farm\": forage seems very useful early-on, but wood and farm become better as you upgrade your tools. It was also cool trying to decide which cards to keep, and which to discard, especially the ones that required resources to use. I was constantly running out of \"eat\" cards. It might have been interesting if there was a mechanic that let you upgrade your deck by adding\/removing cards.\n\nThe graphics, UI, and sound were solid and effective. Good job designing all the card images, items, and animations. Aesthetically, I wish it was a bit more unique. Maybe experiment more with color palettes, gradients, lighting and effects. \n\nI also played the post-Ludum Dare version after I died, and I really like the added music. It really helps you get into a relaxing rhythm of gathering, upgrading, eating, and resting. I managed to upgrade my sword to level 4, so the monsters weren't much of a threat. My biggest challenge was just discarding fast enough to reach an \"eat\" card.

Just a couple things that could possibly be improved for next time:\n\n-I noticed that the animal gave food based on time rather than cards played, while everything else in the game ticked on cards (i.e. food was consumed when card played, energy etc.). This made it so that it was sometimes a good idea to just sit there doing nothing.\n\n-On that note, having to wait for the animations to finish before you could play another card was a bit tedious. Maybe having some way of stacking multiple cards would be good.\n\n-Being able to freely discard and redraw cards kind of removed the element of \"taking the hand you are dealt\", which made the whole card mechanic kind of redundant. If I can just discard cards until I get the one that I want, why not just be able to select which action I want to take instead of redrawing cards until I get it.\n\nOther than those complaints though, the whole thing was well put together, especially for your first time working with 3D software.

But when I noticed you can just throw away cards until you get an eat card (or any other card for that matter) things got a lot easier. When I realized how powerfull tame was I basically stopped caring about food gathering, since it would autorefill while I was doing other stuff.\nAnother part of the food-imbalance is the fact that stave is basically a non-mechanic. You can easily outheal the dmg with heal cards that cost nothing (no resources, no hunger, no energy) and\/or eating later. At this point eating became more of an energy-managing mechanic, since being out of energy actually meant I couldn't do anything on that day.\nAt this point the game kinda started playing itself: I would try to upgrade most equipment every day (save bow, house and hoe - these I didn't really need with taming and high sword values) and get through the whole deck before resting.\nI died at day 11 because I wanted to find out what happens when you throw all you rest cards away.\nI still enjoyed the game a lot and think with some more balance and difficulty it could be very fun. \nhere are some ideas that would in my opinion help adress this point:\n* make starve actually hurt you\n* the difficulty of foes should increase much faster\n* tame needs to be nerfed without loweing the chance to succesfulyl tame.\n* bow should have some benefit over sword.\n* make the house more relevant.\n","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"caterein","author_uid":"1028810","time":"2018-04-29T17:33:26Z","epoch":1525023206,"modified":1525023206,"text":"Nice 3D game!
