Me gusto explorar este mundo de oscuridad, perderse entre el bosque y buscar fogatas o casas me parecio muy ingenisos. Me molesto no haber podido terminar el juego, enserio que intente buscar el recurso que me faltaba para entrar a la cueva pero después de horas de juego no pude.
Siento que la experiencia mejoraría imensamente si se pudiera visualizar tanto la cantidad de recursos, como la cantidad de arañas que uno posee.
Me parecío molesto tener que mantener el click para cada acción (talar madera, picar piedra, oro, recoger pica, etc.), sentia que me limitaba a hacer una sola acción a la vez aunque tuviera infinidad de arañas, de la misma manera que aunque tuviera los recursos a la mano, ocurria que las I.A no queria entregarlos y tenia que esperar a otra araña al final del mapa para que viniera a entregarlo.
I must say a thoroughly addicting game, I mean I spend 4 hours playing it. Fantastic.
If I have one critique it would be that I would have liked it if there was a counter in the corner to show a count of how many of one item you have.
This is less of criticism and more of a suggestion, getting the rock to drop the stone for the pickax seems to have a very VERY low chance. I feel like I spent 45 more minutes necessary just hunting down rocks.
I got a crash that i think occurred while i was holding click on a tree immediately after assigning my little guys to another tree near to it. How can i send you the full crash log?
Here's the log. Somebody farther down the chats claims to have fixed it but didn't say how. Ugh, Answer is right above download section. Hold down click for first fireplace.
4 things would be great: Firstly a tutorial, and maybe an explanation manual or I am stuck manual. Second would be a menu to play game, save your save files. The third thing would be ideal - settings. It would be cool if the frames to upgrade the campfire could show what characters show, if you are missing them, they pulse red. The last and fourth thing is maybe in the full game - npcs. That's all
It would be nice to be able to save progress. These runs take a while, and I have other things to do. Also, this game is a little frustrating to figure out. Once I figured out the core loop, it became more fun.
Very fun! Would love to see some of the fixes listed here, but I imagine those will be done with the steam release. Some extra stuff–like 1-2 new resources or biomes–could be a nice way to flesh out the final game, but simplicity is key! A way to send workers to resources could also reduce wait times and add a little multitasking. But again, simplicity is key. Apart from that, it might be nice to have a minimap to how things have scaled. Overall, it’s really fun and everything scales quite nicely. Looking forward to the steam release :D
I immediately crashed the game accidentally, what I did was start the game, follow the arrow and while auto scrolling to the fire I was holding down click, it clicked the fire and before the little dude could jump my mouse moved off the fire, the little dude jumped then the screen went black, I tabbed out of the game and saw an error message. hope this helps
one change I would make is when your trying to build/destroy something it prevents items that sootlings are carrying from being destroyed, cause I destroyed a couple pickaxes from doing that accidentally.
HOW?! i got stuck after getting that dude with a hat when making the rectangle fireplace. i thought it might be used to mine that big rock, but that doesn’t work
for a game made In just 72 hours It's very well made. I love the simple yet relaxing progression towards making the fires grow bigger and stronger, as well as seeing just how far your colony has grown. however I have some issues involving game play. 1) you can't save. while not a big deal for a gamejam game made In 72 hours It's still a problem, especially with crashes happening at times
2) you can make the blobs drop things. this alone Isn't a big deal (though It's a waste of both the resources and blobs to do so) the problem Is the way you do It Is the same as doing anything else (holding left mouse) and with everything but the fire blobs and blobs crafting stuff being droppable It often leads to Important resources being dropped by accident while commanding something to be done (the windmill being a prime example)
3) there's no info on anything. whether it be what a house, a farmer, or anything you build actually does. how many resources you have or where you get them. or even If you can actually build something or If a blob Is just being slow. the game just doesn't tell you and It can dampen the fun.
4) The blobs are really slow and prone to getting stuck. It's not too problematic If they're nearby but If blobs from another fire nest Is called then a LOT of time Is wasted just trying to get wood and It's worse If many blobs are needed or If a wall of trees are between them.
Regardless, the game was joy to play despite my issues and I look forward to the steam release. 7/10
I dont think many people realized this, but the pickaxes can be spawned after you destroy the rock that has four different sections on it. Loved the game, would love to see names built in for the different little dudes.
I really enjoyed this game! Enough so that I made sure to wish list it on Steam once I finished making this video!!!
I loved the design and soundtrack! The control scheme was very interesting! I think some quality of life additions would be really nice such as a tooltip window that tells you what you need to build something or just what something you've built does.
There's a good bit of waiting for actions to be done where I'm not sure if any of the little creatures are actually coming over or not. Something to counter this might be making a little icon that lets me know a creature is on it's way while I'm clicking and holding for creatures to come over!
I'm also never sure if I actually have all of the supplies I need to build more, so maybe making the little silhouettes red if I don't have what I need would help to inform me whenever I'm trying to build something!
I really liked the little animations of the creatures running around and always had a little dopamine rush whenever I built something!
Overall a game I would play again! I think it's very impressive after 72 hours of work and look forward to the Steam release! Thank you for making this!
This is a lot of fun! I've played a few times, have yet to actually build the sun bc I keep having to go do other stuff though. It'd be really nice to have a way to see how many of each resource you have at a time.
This game is really lovely. It takes many hours to finish and sadly there is no option to save it in between. Only way to pause is to keep it running in the background. I would love to know more about how the windmills and berry bushes affect the game. I mainly focused on one campfire, because at some point a blue diamond is needed, which is hard to get. But only one is needed to complete the game. After the two final glowing stages of the fire, you win. I thought that the fire would light the whole map, but nothing really changes, there are still a lot of unlit places. That was a little disappointing. If you want you can keep playing after winning.
It’s an entertaining game, but it needs some basic improvements. Fixing the initial bug, addressing material loss, and adding a tutorial or materials guide would help. The “You win” ending feels anticlimactic, and a minimap or compass would make navigation easier. Pause and save options are also essential. With these refinements, the game could reach its full potential.
I played on the linux version and got a crash with no error log seemingly randomly late into the game, i tried running the windows version using wine and got a crash randomly as well. Great game i had fun for the bit i played but as of right now ill definitely be waiting for the polished version
I have dixlesia and I am Spanish. So I just opened it. It already works. If I had seen the warning at the beginning, even a "readme" .txt would have read it. Thank you!
A cutesy little game about incarnations of pure darkness (possibly demons) commit mass deforestation, industrialization, and countless other crimes against nature and the world :D
some sort of brief tutorial or critter index or something would be nice! it's not clear in the game what the farmers actually do, and only the ludum dare page actually explains it
I took me ages and my computer was super laggy at the end but I finished it! Great game! I love the concept and artstyle. As mentioned by a few other comments a few quality of life improvements would be great in a final version. Otherwise I loved it :)

super cool game. what is this game engine?
I could be wrong, but I believe they build their games in their own engine, Sugar https://trasevol-dog.itch.io/sugar which hasn't been publicly released yet
built two suns, is that anything?
i build a too much farmers and now i cant do anything
that’s not the sun?!
yep...
how… many more times did i have to upgrade?
1
💀 NOOOOOO
pretty nice demo
really great and addictive game , but please add saving the game and getting the rock for pickaxe has very low chance and takes a lot of time.
um... what is this thing?
ERR [string "code/game.lua"]:501: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'xa' (a nil value)
Stack traceback:
[string "code/game.lua"]:141: in function <[string "code/game.lua"]:137>
[string "code/game.lua"]:501: in function 'update_camera
the camera probably zoomed in or out too much, you’re bound to get some bugs in a game made in 72 hours :P
pls add saving
i rlly liked this game :D please add a menu or a way of saving the game ;c
Yeah I liked to but I would like to continue when I am stopping it:)

Yes I got that same error.

i got that error but insead of the tree, i go'ed to the wood piece where u start the game, when i clicked it, it crashed and that showed
Excelente 💗💞💗
"No compatible downloads found". Is the Windows download Windows 11 only?
No.
Still no compatible downloads found.
Congratulations! I really enjoyed playing. It's a shame you can't save the game and continue expanding your settlement.

I had that issue too, just as I got to the first location at the start of the game.
i figured it out :) thanks tho!

this was such a lovely experince, the looks & feels & sounds.. just adorable
only issue I had was pickaxs like most others xP
Such a cute fun little game!
But WHERE ARE THE PICKAXES
lol
I'm sure it will be rebalanced for the steam edition ;) wishlighting now
fun! i think you should make it so that on windows, you don't have to press the windows key to un-fullscreen
Oooh you figured it out better than me. I just went alt + F4. So yeah, I second this remark.
This is a lot of fun! I've played a few times, have yet to actually build the sun bc I keep having to go do other stuff though. It'd be really nice to have a way to see how many of each resource you have at a time.
