ANCIENT HOGS

You are a happy hunter gatherer living peacefully in the year 10,000 BC. One night, you have a dream, a vision of a horrific future in which farming has created a repulsive modern civilization, full of mind-numbing technology. You realize that it is up to you to prevent this disgusting agricultural revolution, and the only way to do this is to provide your tribe with enough delicious hog meat to prevent crop domestication.

INSTRUCTIONS

WASD to move, shift to sprint. Click to pick up spears and hogs. Kill and carry the hogs back to your cave before 6PM each day.

Downloading for Windows is recommended for better performance.

This game has (refused to) water my crops and cleared my skin. I am now a primitivist.

Actually though, this was pretty fun and a surprisingly hard. I did find myself wishing I could throw the pigs to move them faster. Also, an aiming reticle would be nice to have when I'm throwing the spear.

Great job!

Cool game ! I liked hunting the hogs. I kind of lost my spears all over the world during day 2 ^^
The ragdoll, AI and the overall 3D design was cool !

This is a really nice game. The controls are nice, the only suggestion that I can think of would be maybe to have another option other than clicking, like a key to press so you don't have to use the mouse. A nice game overall.

Haha, I love the use of blenders monkey head! I really enjoy walking around throwing spears. Unfortunately I had big performance issues (browser version), quite difficult to aim when the camera kept jumping around. Great job with the look and sound of the game, the spear colliders could have been slightly smaller. The game was intuitive and spears was thankfully easy to pick up.

The "Go to sleep" text should probably be more in the center of the screen, I missed it at first and started to wander.

Oh man, that made me laugh! The hogs movement is awesome and I loved that you used Suzanne haha. I like the low-poly style and the music is quite nice!

This was an other-worldly experience, and the music was weirdly amazing. Great job!

Very funny animals! I like the challenge! The pig's head swings to the rhythm of the music :)
Keep up the good work!

Look, I've raised pigs and I've thrown spears and I have some words I need to pass onto management...

Finally I can return to monke and correct the course humanity takes. The music slaps and the sound effects are also funny. Also I love the gif :laughing:

Awesome job on the music and sound effects, had a fun time chasing down pigs and jamming to the beats! Would be nice to have the spears reset on the second day, since I definitely lost most of them.. Fun challenge and great work!

Nice game. The story is funny, the world looks pretty, the sounds are fun and the music is funky with a prehistorical vibe. By the way, are those monkey heads on the hogs?
