Winter Wilds by Bastienre4

[raw]
made by Bastienre4 for LD34 (JAM)
Winter Wilds is a top-down survival game in which you must survive the harsh condition of winter, leading your pack of wolves and make it prosper. Find the wild does and get close to them discretly before jumping for the kill, or they'll run away. Be careful, running makes the pack hungry and without food, some wolves will die... plus, you're not the ultimate predator, there are hunters about, and they're as hungry as you are...

Unity player throws error "Failed to decompress data for the AssetBundle 'WebStartData'." and doesn't start...
Screenshots are awesome, please fix!

Nice graphics, make a 3D game in 72h isn't a easy challenge ! Gameplay is simple but fun, good job.

Good job !
The graphics and the audio are greats, and the result is impressive for a game made in 72 hours.

I just find the game too easy and I havn't understood the utility of the "hide" feature.

Super boulot les copains! J'aime beaucoup les visuels et la musique. L'ambiance g茅n茅rale fonctionne tr猫s bien et je trouve la difficult茅 bien r茅gl茅e (j'ai eu un moment de panique sur la fin, je ne trouvais plus de proies... j'ai m锚me perdu un loup).
Bref, bravo 脿 toute l'茅quipe et bisous de l'ENJMIN :-)

Was very enjoyable hunting down food as a pack of wolves!
My only gripe with the game was that they seemed a bit unresponsive occasionally, other than that it was a great experience!

Programmer messed up. Outside of that, great job on the graphics, sounds and overall atmosphere!

Awesome! I love the hand painted style of the logo and the 3d art. Great sound and overall vibes. Although I did have some lag issues. Great job!

I love the graphics and the controls. Sometimes trees get in the way of seeing my wolves, but over all, really good.

Great game!
Was disappointed that cant kill hunter and haven't found good use to Hide mechanics.

Really good! And I really enjoyed the music.

What I might say is that sometimes the mob collision can be buggy? Not a big problem though.

Great little game, really enjoyed playing.

One aesthetic bug: When you beat the game trees can poke through the end of game UI.

Feature request: I feel as if I should be able to kill hunters. I managed to completely sneak up on one and was sitting on top of him for a little while before I realised I couldn't hurt him.

Good job guys! In all categories.

I never knew how much fun it could be to hunt, kill, and eat a deer!

Good music and i really liked the tree model style. Nice feel but the gameplay itself is too dull. I was missing an indicator as to how far winter has progressed and I wasnt sure the hunter attacked me until my doggies suddenly fell over.

Overall a good entry with some technical hiccups and loose design.

Issues:

- The level has some invisible walls which glitch the movement of the entities. This is most prevalent near the edges of the map.

- Animations sometimes don't blend properly causing entities to slide around and such. This could be due to the "Has Exit time" variable in the Animator.

- The hunter is a bit lame. It too easy to run him over and then notice that you cannot kill him. I'd change him to always spot the wolves way in advance (he could have a dog that starts barking or just keen eyesight) and then start shooting with his weapon. This way you could kill the hunter with a big enough pack, but you'd end up losing a few wolves.

- The pack mechanic is a little arbitrary at the moment. Why do you get a new wolf when catching a deer? I would start the player off with a big pack and have a few stray wolves patrolling the level who join you if you find them. Losing wolves will have a bigger impact if it is harder to raise and maintain a big pack (more wolves require more food).

- More survival mechanic would be nice, for instance finding shelter when a blizzard comes around. There are a few winter survival simulators out there from which to get inspiration.

Bien jou茅! Les graphismes et l'audio sont bons! Le jeu manque n茅anmoins de challenge. La possibilit茅 de se cacher ne m'a pas sembl茅 utile (le chasseur ne m'a pas sembl茅 tr猫s agressif et les proies sont facilement atteignable). N茅anmoins, au del脿 de la LD, l'ajout des quelques briques de gameplay pourrait rendre le concept int茅ressant (j'ai lu dans les commentaires que l'ajout d'un blizzard pourrait 锚tre cool). Pour le reste, c'est tout bon, bon boulot ! ;)

Game concept looks similar to Tokyo Jungle. The art is truly beatiful, even the logo is masterfully done. Great job.

Fun game however the controls can be a little glitchy when I hover my mouse over areas where the wolves can not go. really nice concept and polish though ;D
