Fire, such an ancient technology... but have you ever been stranded in the woods without a lighter? Not such a simple task. Winter is coming and our people will freeze if we can't keep the fire alive. Chop and collect wood and feed the fire... if you let it die, welp.. GG.

This was a great (if a bit confusing) experience! Especially since I've pretty much never worked in a team environment before.

I'm glad my beehive/swarm and spirit code worked out in the end, and I'll be sure to look over the work other people did in this.

I kinda wish I had managed to get the wolf code done before you submitted this, considering you submitted before the 72 hour deadline, but oh well.

I hope to have future ventures of this kind with y'all in the future.

The graphic and the music fit very well, and it's a very nice work from such a huge team, nice coordination there ! I just felt a bit lost when I started playing ^^

Hey Hardly! Love the community driven part of the game. The concept is solid and the assets were great. The game play felt directionless and having no end in sight made the actions seem to have no weight. With a bit more time I could see this being a great resource management game!

Pretty! Was a little confused as to my purpose, but I don't really play games like this so that's probably my fault. Nice!

Naa, the game play is lacking. The fire is slowly depleting and you collect wood, drop it on the fire to get it burning again. If the fire goes out, you lose. It's not balanced and most the features we were aiming for didn't make it. But it looks real nice ;)

Interesting day / night cycle. Nice shader effect for snow / mist / dew. Well done for a swarm game.

Nice! It looks promising!

On my laptop the red text is very very small, I think they are saying something like "It's so cold, why are you doing this to me Hardy?". What is this supposed to mean? :)
