Hi Leadwerks Community!
I finally figured out how to make a blog so this will be my first blog regarding my almost completed project The Hunt for Food. Take a look at the video and give me some suggestions if you have any. This game will be added to the Leadwerks Workshop on Steam soon.
Some info about the Game in general -
This is a primitive survival game where you have to use your environment to your advantage. There are no guns. There is no giant backpack for you to put stuff into. You can break your leg, bleed out, get sick, die of starvation, get mauled by wolves, fall off a mountain, and more!
Survive in style using some entertaining mechanics and see how many days you can last. Fight your way through canyons full of wolves and angry bees to find hidden paths along mountain ridges. Throw a flaming dead bird at a rabbit. This game is for fun.
Leadwerks Engine Indie Edition is being used to make the game. Models and their animations were created in Blender. I used Gimp to edit/create textures. Many thanks to members of the Leadwerks Community for contributions/suggestions.
Some info about the Update -
A new menu, with awesome music done by Leadwerks User Eric Matyas,has been added which allows you to reload the map without ever exiting the game, load saved games, and just pause the game.
Max Hunger is something I didn't mention in my video but if you noticed that next to my hunger bar it said 13/24 while next to my health it said 50/100 (or something similiar). The number on the right is the max amount of hunger/health you can obtain. Your max health stays at 100 but your max hunger will change depending on what you eat. If you eat 'good food' (meat, avocados, eggs, or beehives) then your max hunger will go up and you can eat more. If you eat 'bad food' (anything else) your max hunger will go down and then you can't eat as much. Also if your hunger is maxed and you eat 'bad food' you have a chance of becoming sick.
Basically you can't just survive off of lettuce.
A Day and Night Cycle, which was done by Leadwerks User Shadmar, has been fully implemented and it makes the game feel very immersive.
The map has been filled and every area except for the snow zones is populated with vegetation, wildlife, weapons, and more.
Challenging canyon areas have been added and they are the most dangerous areas in the map so far(until snow zones).
Power attacks have been added which have different results depending on which weapon you have equipped.
A new respawn function for the player has been added to make dying less harsh and sometimes even useful.
Other Things-
Small wolves now roam around in packs, lots of bug fixes, bees can move now, spear mechanics are much better, picking up weapons is way easier, throwing rabbits/birds at stuff is much more effective, birds are more deadly, traps only have one use but they respawn, wolf companionship is fun, weaken thy enemies with poisoned meats, wolves will attack you even if they are on fire, and controls have been tweaked to make things less complicated.
