Consumption by Aevek
A simple survival sandbox game that was originally intended to be a compo entry, but ended up needing longer to make the game I wanted. Actually my second survival game for Ludum Dare, this one went much much better than the last. You would never believe me if I said I don't really like survival games.
Just a windows build for now, I'll hopefully add other builds as I can test and release them. Should be soon, assuming that there are no issues.
You are left to survive in a miniature ecosystem, but be careful as your needs and desire to build can quickly cause the world to go badly wrong if you consume recklessly. If you are not careful you will become the monster that is destroying the world.
After picking up an item you can craft with it by clicking on it on your inventory screen, then select a recipe to craft it (provided you have enough resources).
You start with no tools, but you can craft rocks that you pick up off the ground to make a knife, which should be enough to get you started.
If you guys build anything cool in my game and take screenshots please send them too me its super cool to see what other people make in my game. Good ways would be to post links in the comments or to tweet them @Aevek
UPDATE 1.1
Two game breaking bugs have been fixed. In accordance with Ludum Dare rules(?) the original is still available, but I recommend the 1.1 fixed version. Everything else is the same.
-Bug preventing inventory from being opened
-Bug preventing the end of the world
Controls
WASD to move
TAB to open inventory
E to interact with objects
1, 2, 3 to change tool

Nice places to view.
I tried using the number keys and didn't see any effect.
I chased a rabbit, but he was too fast to catch. Wandered around trying to interact with trees and water, but couldn't get it.
Maybe I didn't get far enough in the game, but I don't really see the monster part? I didn't kill anything before it broke so maybe something happens then I guess.
I had a few glitches where I would lose the ability to open inventory or switch weapons, so I was unable to explore the full game.
Other than those problems the game is absolutely great. The minimalism is done well and the survival and building aspects are well done. I wish I had explored more of the game before it broke the inventory.
@the people who got stuck, press tab to open inventory, craft rocks into a knife. You can take it from there.
I love the graphics and style. The water looks really cool, unless you enter it :P.
The UI looks and works nice.
So I'm punching this small tree with my hatchet, and it breaks and a bunny spawns inside it and keeps flying in the air :D.
So I keep collecting stuff and my inventory gets full. I almost died of hunger because I could not make arrows or a weapon (full inventory). Also the arrows seem to pass through the animal and not do anything...
I can't kill anything...
I just found out there a sprint button!
OK, I'm done. Cool game!
I'm really impressed with so many features in a LD game.
Big congrats on your time management skills. It was really hard for me to finish my game in time hahaha I did it, but it was hard.
Just one little note: I think the tab key is not working how it should. Sometimes it just don't work at all. Just a minor bug for a great game. Congrats!
I really like the astethics, the level design and I'm amazed by how much you were able to accomplish during 72h.
At first I scoured the valley for the second stick (there is exactly one spawned at start) and only after five tries did I realize I could make a knife from rocks and start cutting down the brush. The GUI is a bit wonky, so it wasn't immediately obvious that I could make a knife. After that, progress is rapid. There is not much to do endgame, but that is kind of expected.
Even though I wasted half an hour walking around pointlessly, I had fun with this game.
