What we ended up with isn't quite a game, but might be sandboxy enough.\r\n\r\nThe attached \"tech demo\" should run anywhere there is Java. \r\n\r\nEDIT: I've changed 2 things: \r\n1. the camera doesn't zoom in for building\r\n2. you can't build at night\r\n\r\nMost of the \"features\" were bugged because their physics bodies were mispositioned by scaling. The change wasn't significant, but was more than a typo. I feel we aren't in the runnings for anything serious, so I've changed the download link.\r\n\r\nYou can get the original, buildings off the screen version here:\r\nhttp:\/\/cl.ly\/162G1w2Y2I3Z\r\n\r\nControls:\r\nA - left\r\nD - right\r\nW or Space - jump\r\n\r\nLeft click - place selected buildable\r\n\r\nSnow intensity is random and ramps up at night.\r\n\r\nBuilt pieces don't break and can't be removed.\r\n\r\nCold was supposed to be based on how far you had moved through snow piles, but this system was replaced with snowflake damage so the demo player could die.\r\n\r\nFires didn't make it, but were close to implementation and would warm the player up, while providing some melting heat to snow piles\r\n\r\nI hope to write a decent post mortem once I've rested from this ordeal :P","title":"Untitled Snow Survival"}
