That is our first attempt to make a 3D game so it's been a hell of a ride on a learning curve, yet still an amazing experience. It ain't perfect but nothing is, eh?

First time in such a big team and first time coding for some of us. Our team : Alicja, Ryju, Pączek, Cebula

Welcome to Dziob!

Your task is to keep you and your eggs alive.

Beware of the farmer trying to steal your eggs and the fox trying to kill you. To defend your eggs from the farmer try pecking him. When the fox is chasing you, try hiding in the chicken hoot. To increase your hunger bar, find some bugs in the 'eating area'.

In order to hatch your eggs, you need to keep them from getting too cold.

You win if you hatch your lovely eggs.

I enjoyed this experience, though maybe some pathfinding on the fox wouldn't be a bad idea. Not too difficult to implement. Also a gate for the farmer to enter instead of him going through the fence. Those two things detract a lot from the game. Other than that though you have yourself a nice cute and graphically pretty experience.

I liked pecking the farmer.

A fun little game! I liked that the progress bar actually cast a shadow :smile:
The farmer/fox would sometimes glitch out a bit, but not too badly.
Seemed that I could not get a second egg after the first one was stolen, but that might have been just a question of timing.

The graphics and the music is really good. The game idea is okay, but it take way too long to hatch the eggs.

I like the concept, feels very goose game esk with how the enemies moves and the graphics, but with also more game like goals.

I didn't mange to hatch the egg, one spawn, I would stand on it and a snowflake icon could appear, then destroy it. I would later lose, without any other eggs spawning.

Two ideas: make the eggs roll around, more interesting to move then to stand still. Maybe the farmer would also hunt down the fox?

The visuals are definetly the high point of this game. They are very colorful and well done and I'm very impressed. The concept is great but there were a few times when I got stuck during the game. At one point I was hiding in the chicken coop with the fox right outside and it never left so I just starved in there. And whenever I hatched an egg it would send me into orbit and I would eventually fall down, and often land outside the fence where I would just starve. Also a pecking effect would be useful because at first I wasn't sure if it was actually working or not.
Keep up the good work!

I really like the atmosphere here. The music and art style feel perfect for this.

I did notice a bug, where somehow i got the farmer glitched near the fence after pecking him away.. he just jittered back and forth, no eggs and no fox would appear, until i pecked at him again and unstuck him from whatever what causing the problem, then the fox and eggs began to appear again.

Very nice graphics, especially if this is your first 3d game!

This is brilliant! Love the music and concept. Still I noticed that I can hide at the back of rocks when fox and farmer appear and they cannot move any near to me. In all, fantastic game. I would like to see more features added in and think this game has a great potential to grow into a big one! Keep the nice work ;)

I echo others. Graphics are a true gem here. Well done!

A nice entry, with cute graphics, music and sound. The game could use some tuning though:
- it was very hard to avoid the fox and not die from hunger,
- it seems that the eggs somehow stay in the game even after the farmer collects them. Or at least their hatching bar stays, and they get the freezing icon after some time.

Otherwise, great job!

Love the game, though the egg hatching is really time consuming. I really liked the music and sound and really liked the game mechanics.
Great Job!

I like your art style and the concept of the game but I have a lot of bug with the IA so I don't understand how to win. :/ Well done :)
