The nights get fairly hectic when a lot of drones come in, and I sure don't want them to get that banana cake recipe! I liked that you implemented a day and night system, and the crafting system, albeit simple, worked well enough and was implemented nicely. Combat with the drones felt pretty nice, and although it wasn't too difficult taking on just one, it quickly became more of a fun challenge when I starting getting attacked by more of them. \n\nThe visuals in the game were simplistic, but definitely worked in conveying what was going on. Some of the animations, especially for chopping down trees, felt a bit slow, but in general the ones that you had were pretty good! The audio was also simple but effective, although the background music felt a tad bit repetitive. It might be too much to ask, but it also would've been nice to see some other music, or perhaps a lack thereof, during the nights. \n\nOverall, it does implement starting with nothing, with the player having to craft everything they need from scratch, and the gameplay was fairly fun and thought out. Nice work!","likes":4,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"kevinworkman","author_uid":"1008365","time":"2019-10-12T04:54:00Z","epoch":1570856040,"modified":1570856040,"text":"This was pretty ambitious, nice job.

I guess some colliders are wrongly placed or something. We'll probably make a bugfix release were we fix the mouse sensitivity and the out of bounds error.\n\nAlso as @sillyman987 said, sometimes the game crashes.

I like that you took time to adjust rewards so that I could buy something every day. \n\nI have magaged to get to day 10, after that I got already reported error, but I don't think it was because of player death for me, might be because the building got destroyed.\n\nOne thing I'd like you to change would be to allow player to attack with pickaxe, not just axe, even with the same bonus.\n\nAwesome graphics and animations. Background music, although short didn't feel too repetitive, complemented with fitting SFX (perhaps randomize pitch a bit +\/- 10% works nice for me - I'm not sure if you did that, if you did I didn't notice)\n\nGreat job and I hope to play your next game in April.
